{ GAME OPENING LOG }
✵ GAME OPENING LOG ✵
Normally our TDMs serve as intro logs, but we have prepared a special character intro log for game opening! It is a massive, chaotic feast that can only be found in a dreamworld like Songerein. You can also use this to continue ongoing TDM threads, especially as it nears captcha. Reminder that any thread from the TDM can be carried over. Players are also welcome to make their own logs for things if they would rather skip this part. Be sure to read the Mod Announcement for other information and you can ask any questions regarding the log here.
I. THE FEAST
As the sleepy looking sun begins to set, the small little tapir fairies will buzz around to find all the new inhabitants and usher them to the plaza. There everyone will find several tables of various lengths, sizes, and shapes. Yes, that is a star shaped table along with a moon one. A special feast has been made just for them to welcome and celebrate their arrival. Some may even recognize decorations: leaves mottled and changing to an assortment of colors, festive streamers, popcorn strings, glittering garlands and bows, string lanterns, and maybe a few small gravestones here and there. Some areas might look a bit brown and withered while some of the trees take on a more cherry blossom look. It's a bit of a strange mashup, and yet the chaos seems to have a sense of harmony as well—especially when considering everything else that the feast has to offer. This is one divine feast that is going to be completely topsy turvy.A. What's Your Sign? Everyone will find themselves mysteriously "tagged" with a special sticker and will suddenly gain special characteristics based off the animal: ears, tails, behavioral traits. They're mostly mild and to add flavor, but they may also feel different compatibility towards another, such as more attracted or opposed. The sticker will be hard to remove, but it is possible to swap with someone if they want to try a different experience.
B. Special Bowls. There are many tables and anyone can sit wherever they want. Just don't forget to pick up the special dinner bowl already personalized with their name on it. Of course there are some extra paints and decorations that can be added to it if one desires.
C. Wild Food. Every table has the same kind of food, and there is plenty to go around. Of course, that's only if the food can be caught and if one can keep an appetite for some of them. The boar's head is a bit talkative and might settle down if someone stuffs an apple in its mouth or tells it a joke. However, it might just get several laughs by the barrel of monkeys funnel cake nearby, monkey shaped pastries hiding within it to chuck out various candies and fruits. Not even the candy is safe, at least not the stringed ones. Licorice, chocolate coated taffy, and others will start slithering around and even hiss, sometimes wrapping around the arm of those who try to eat them. Playing some music might calm these sweet serpents so they can be eaten properly. How about that special carousel cake stand with the horse cookies prancing about?D. Spice Up Your Li—Meal. However fear not. There is normal food around so it is possible to have a proper meal. However, some helpful little dragons may fly by to add a few herbs and spices to the dishes. They are quite friendly and will listen to requests, however if one is rude or too demanding, they may just dump a bunch of a hot pepper and other unsavory seasoning instead. Make a good enough impression and they might make house calls, even follow someone home. They live to spice up food, after all.
E. Drink Tea. Although there is an assortment of beverages, the prevalent one will be tea. They are similar to the ones found in the cafe and all will help bring out festive dreams and restful sleep later for everyone. However, someone is clearly making mischief as they have slipped in some rodentia tea. Drinking it will cause the drinker to shrink to the size of a rat. The only way to return to normal is to find the elusive cat cookies, which can be strangely hard to find; they seem to vanish and reappear at random, but only the ones with wide grins and “Eat Me” written on them can be eaten.
II. FUN & GAMES
Perhaps the food isn't up to one's tastes, or they just would rather have some fun. There are a few games around the plaza that everyone is welcome to participate in and they are encouraged to play to their heart's content. Just beware of the geese as they are being a menace not only at the tables but disrupting games as well.
A. Playing Chicken. A simple game, really, one that will test one's creativity and taste buds. There is a goat cheese fondue fountain surrounded with various platters of cooked chicken: grilled, steamed, boiled, baked, fried. This fondue fountain, however, is special. The flavor of the fondue can be altered depending on the kinds of emotions near it. Joy and love make it sugary sweet, anger and jealousy spicy hot, despair and distrust salty sour. And of course everything in-between including a chaotic mix. The challenge is one person will try and alter the flavor of the fondue, lather it on a piece of chicken, and then hand it to their opponent. The chicken must then be consumed. If not, the one who "cooked" it wins. If it is consumed, then the second person can now do the same to the other. This continues until one forfeits. It should be noted that the emotions of the one eating can also affect the fondue. (It is of course possible to take either the fondue or chicken without playing this stomach churning game.)
B. Gravity of Luck. There is a special wheel lottery set on a table decorated with rabbits. In fact there are a lot of rabbits congregating here and would love a few carrots. Anyone is free to spin the wheel one time per round to determine what kind of special "gravity" effect they receive. Each time the wheel is spun, a ball will drop and the color will indicate the type. A gold ball will cause them to lose all sense of gravity, their bodies starting to float away and although they can fly and float around, they'll need help being tethered down. White balls allow them to jump higher, small mushrooms appearing at their feet so others can follow. A black ball will cause them to be stuck in place, even fall flat all the way to the ground and need help standing up. Those imbued with the power of the different balls can help balance each other out until the effect wears off in half an hour.
C. Ox Go-Kart. For those who really want some speed and action, there are ox driven carts stationed by various streets. Two people can partner up with one driving and the other serving to help try to slow the other cart down. In this race, all non-lethal, non-destructive abilities are allowed to try and disrupt the other racer. Perhaps utilizing dreamotion based abilities may fare better. Just beware of other obstacles, especially any random crying dodos that create giant pools of tears as water hazards.
D. Tiger Fishing. There are special colorful ponds filled with sparkly gummy koi fish. At each one there is a little round tiger(?) with a pair of tiger mittens. In the same vein of fish scooping games, players must wear the tiger mittens and catch the gummy fish with them. It won't be easy as the gummy fish are even more slippery than normal. Perhaps some other skills could be used...but the little tiger will be watching and will latch onto anyone's heads who try to cheat. But if caught, they will make for a delectable treat—or interesting pet.
tdm ✨ zidane
[She feels ya there, Zidane. And even reaffirms that with a nod.]
Yeah. I get that.
[Her smile starts to fade again, with only a dash of it remaining in her eyes.]
Trying to explain traveling across worlds isn't as easy as I thought it would be. Feel like I let him down, but I guess he'll come around eventually.
[Everyone does... she hopes.]
no subject
[Hell, he'd try if Tifa asked more, but he frowns when her smile fades.]
Did it go that bad with him? How could you possibly let him down?
no subject
[Not that she can fault him for that. It must have been pretty jarring for him when someone he didn't recognize knew his face... Even more so when she'd mentioned that they had been friends once.]
I guess it was partly my fault. Should've been more careful with that kind of information. Can't exactly blame him for being upset.
[And she's still beating herself up about it, even if it had been her who snapped first.]
no subject
If he's that much of a hardass, I doubt anything you did would've not upset him. Or maybe I'm too simple and you mentioning how I spoke about Garnet wasn't enough, but eh, I don't care.
His response to what you were trying to prove wasn't your fault.
no subject
At the end of the day, she's at least thankful that Zidane is still Zidane.]
I guess not. I'm sure he'll come around eventually. We're all gonna have to if this is where we'll be for a while.
no subject
[But he doesn't know. Guys like him can also be a combination of stubborn and might need a kick to make him realize that. And he's kind of thinking of a guy in mind, but eh.]
What's his name anyway?
no subject
[The way she more so asks his name rather than tell it makes it sound like there's hope there that maybe Zidane knows him, maybe having already met him here or in another world. It is a bit of a stretch, so she shakes her head.]
Doubt you know him. Sounded like he wasn't familiar with the whole "new universe" thing. Can't exactly blame him for having suspicions...
no subject
[What're the chances either of them are Eustace, right?]
no subject
What are the chances indeed!?]
Gray wolf ears, pretty serious...
[Tifa puts on a low voice in her best attempt to mimic Eustace. It's... an okay impression, but it could use some work. The only part she manages to completely nail is the way-too-serious look, and the standoffish nature he seems to carry with him wherever he goes with her folded arms.]
"Tch. It's fine. It's none of your concern. You didn't have to do that. Tch." Like that?
no subject
Yeah, that sounds like him. You know how many times I got him to glare at me? It was great. Also, I'm pretty sure he was trying to freeze the room without realizing it.
[But that guy was so far in denial about everything here, he was just very inattentive.]
Eustace, huh? Alright.
[They're gonna talk again.]
no subject
[Tifa, too, has let the cold demeanor go, returning to her old self when she raises a finger at Zidane. Her impression was pretty spot-on, but then again, she knows very few people like Eustace.]
If you do, try not to give him too much trouble. I kind of laid it all on him really suddenly...
no subject
Haha, I'll try not to, but he should know he could've handled things better too.
no subject
I think he probably will, once you're done with him. He can be a bit stubborn, can't he? But you didn't hear that from me.
no subject
[He chuckles. He didn't hear anything at all about him being stubborn... and yeah, everything's gonna be fine.]
can probably wrap this one! 💖
[There's some fondness there, mixed in with her frustration, but it's all well-meaning. Tifa thinks he can be a little too cold and stubborn sometimes, but she's learned how to put up with it. Whether he's done the same for her... Well, clearly that's a different story here.]
Anyway. I was about to head to that residential area everyone's talking about. Care to join me?
Sounds good!
Sure! I was about to head that way myself.
[He's got a good idea what condition this area's in... and his back might be feeling it for a few more minutes.]
