{ 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.

Mhm! I specialize in magic related to nature and healing. That's wonderful to hear. I'm happy that I can help make everything pretty.

Oh right! Where are my manners? My name is Mirai Akarui.

Wow, you're gonna be a big help around here.

[He grins in return.]

I'm Sora! It's nice to meet you, Mirai!

I hope so! I'd love to help if I can.

[It was much better than what she'd grown used to back home.]

It's nice to meet you too, Sora.

So, Mirai! Wanna help me with this tree here? Maybe we can get this one to stop growing rotten peaches!

[This world is so dreamy and full of magic. He can kind of feel it in his fingertips. He wants to help as much as he can too.]

Maybe it can help us learn a little more about this place, too.

Sure! [She really shouldn't use more mana, but that seemed easy enough.] I hope that our efforts will eventually reverse the decay. Maybe we can make this a place that people can live comfortably in.

[That makes Sora smile brightly.]

You know, besides my friends, you're one of the first people that I've met that's ready to try to make this place comfy.

[He's met a lot of people already who are upset at being here. And that's pretty fair, they got whisked away to this strange dream world and don't really know what's going on. But Sora sees it as an adventure. He's pretty used to this sort of thing.

So, he goes up to the tree and pats its tree trunk. Trying to give it a little more of his positivity.]


But did you hear that? We wanna make this place comfortable for everyone!

[personal profile] fatedmahou 2021-09-20 07:55 am (UTC)(link)
Well, this place is much nicer than back home. I need to return home as soon as possible, it's true, but I...

If we're stuck in this dream, then we may as well try to make the most of it, right?

[She's smiling, but where did that cold breeze come from? Setting her hand the tree trunk herself, she closed her eyes for a moment to focus. A moment later, the leaves on some of the branches perked up, looking full of life.]

I'm sorry I can't do more for you right now. Soon enough we'll get you all fixed up. [Talking to the tree as if it's a person. Totally normal.]

[It's a bit of a chilly shiver. Sora looks up at the tree and has to wonder if it's coming from the tree itself or somewhere else. He blinks and then looks to her again with a softer smile.]

Yeah, even if we're far from home we should do our best to make great memories, right? So we can take them home with us.

[A dream is a dream and he hopes he can remember most of it when he wakes up.]

But yeah, hopefully, we can do something for these trees. And this whole world!

[And then go home safely...]

Right! I'm just happy to see everyone safe and sound.

It'll take some time to do something for the world as a whole, but I'm sure over time we can all make this place better for both us and those who lived here before us.
oathkeeper: <user name=sheme> (12964142)

[personal profile] oathkeeper 2021-09-25 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahah. Yeah, I'm sure we can do it.

[She's really optimistic. And Sora really likes that. It's nice to meet someone who thinks like him. Wanting to do their best for the things and people around them. It's what the galaxy needs.]

Do you have any ideas of what you'd like to see first here? If it's possible, I'd like to help put together some of the essentials that everyone will need. Admittedly, I have no experience in constructing buildings.

[personal profile] oathkeeper 2021-09-29 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Umm. Yeah! Lemme think... I guess it would be pretty important to make sure everyone has safe and warm places to stay. And place to go if they're hurt? And then it might be pretty important to make sure it's safe here!

I'd be happy to help keep people in tip-top shape. Maybe we could start a clinic or something?

[OOC: You okay with wrapping up intro log stuff? I'd love more threads after this, though.]
oathkeeper: <user name=sheme> (12964140)

happy to wrap it up here! and happy for more next time! 💖

[personal profile] oathkeeper 2021-10-02 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha, that's a great idea! But I'm not really a big healer or a doctor! We'd have to look for some of those.

[He grins.

And with that, they'll chat some more before heading off to do some more exploration of this new dream world. Sora liked speaking with her, it really is nice to meet someone who's positive about this place. Being open-minded is important! He'll love to see her again!]
