Proxima Test Drive

You woke up in a bright white room, disoriented and with a pain in your neck. The mirror in the room showed you a bruise, the injection site of the chip that will control your life while you're here. You have everything on you that you remember having before waking up here and you're looking to find out what's going on. The wall flickers like a screen, showing you your captors. After a brief and highly unhelpful conversation, you're let go, told to find your own way and adhere to the rules -- what little rules there are. You're trapped here on this island, under this dome, and you're about to know what it feels like to be someone's lab rat. Possible Scenarios: ΦDowntown - Whether it's the more pristine location of the City Center or the seedier South Side, your character is taking this opportunity to look around and try to make a little more sense of where they are. Do they stop in at a cafe? Take advantage of one of the 'Try one FREE' samples some stores have out for new arrivals? Or maybe they're going to talk to someone to see if they can fill them in on this place a little more. Anything goes. ΦLet's go to the beach - The Eastern Tropics always welcomes new members, hosting parties that go long into the night. Maybe your character feels like taking advantage of the surf, or maybe they just really like hot dogs. Jump in to that volleyball game over there, they can always use more players. Anything goes. ΦDr. Feelgood - Your character has arrived just in time for an experiment. Are their emotions wonky? Maybe they grew a tail or turned bright green. Or maybe everything just feels really, really good. It could be that it's not your character being affected, but someone else's and your character is completely in the dark about it and just trying to help. Anything goes. ΦCall Me - It could be your character prefers to try to do some digging or wants to meet people over the safety of their devices instead of face to face. ΦBlind Date - The scientists have set up a nice, romantic evening for you and an unexpected partner. A table with candles lit, a three course meal, and plenty of romantic music. There's no escaping, so you may as well take the time to get to know one another. ΦWild thing card - Have something specific in mind? Want to do something not listed? Go nuts. Mi meme et su meme. What do you have to do? Just pick a scenario and go wild. Please be sure to warn in your headers for any questionable or triggery content. It might be helpful to make a note as well if you're open to smutty scenarios or not, along with your preferences. As Proxima is an 18+ game, the likelihood of sexual scenarios happening is pretty high, so please remember to respect the preferences of your fellow players/potential players, and to warn as needed.

shh i don't even care i haven't been hitting up nongame threads much myself either ;u; so

Course--[He started speaking quickly, easily, the voice registering before he thought about it, but then when he did think about it he stopped as quickly as he started. He stares, instead, like he's seeing some kind of ghost of a past he didn't fully yet remember (but that was by his own choosing).

See, now that's a voice he hadn't expected to hear. Not for a while. It was a voice that was only in memories and not someone he actually really, truly had felt he'd seen in years. Even though it'd only been a near year that he was in Aather before it was all over, it felt like the days were much longer. Longer, still, when the only thing you had to connect you from your life before was memories without any real context.

It's not just the voice that makes him stop, however, but the name. No one really called him Ron in Aather, it was Gryffindor. Occasionally Apple or Selnia would, but in general most people called him Gryffindor and he was fine with that. Well, sort of, it felt weird now really knowing what it meant, but that was a story for another day. Ron just wasn't something he felt as connected with if only for the fact it'd been so long and he changed more than the Ron in his memories.

So it's those two combinations that really make her being there feel like a ghost. Especially when she should be at home. The Darkness was gone, she was never in Aather, she should be home away from crazy kidnappers. Even he, too, should be but he'd decided to keep his memory bracelet put away and help with fighting the Darkness in other worlds longer. So, of course he wasn't there, but she should be. And it's part of why he stares her down, really looks at her carefully to see if she's real or a figment of his imagination.

Sadly, he's still not so great at saying exactly what's on his mind.]

Blimey. Are you really who I think you are?

we're the best at our hobbies

[ A part of her wants to cry, to reach out and throw her arms around him, just as she would have back home when relieved or overcome with emotion for him or Harry. She could have reached out and touched him, felt his warmth, shown herself he was truly there in front of her. Her hands shook slightly with the desire, even, but stayed at her sides all the same.

A soft, hesitant smile turned at the corner of her lips, one that hadn't quite reached her eyes as he settled. She could tell that distant expression, the way that he looked at her, much like friends who returned with memories and struggled to recall them. Where had he been? What had he seen? They were questions she wanted to ask, but still kept to herself. ]

Want me to pinch you so you know you're not dreaming?

idk what you're talking about we're fabuluous

[ The issue with not taking memories you probably should have months ago, is you don't really know what to expect of the person suddenly before you. He'd always imagined he'd take them before going home, because he knew if he took them prior he'd want to go right away. But there were important things out there, too, so he hadn't. It makes reading her difficult, though, taking in the changes in appearance and physical alterations an impossibility because he doesn't know what should be there or what shouldn't.

And it's weirder, still, when you're used to the closeness of an entirely different group of people because a part of you is like hold her and don't let go but you almost wonder if that's wrong or not allowed, so he tries to swallow it back as he forces his hands into the pockets of cargo pants. Instead he quirks an amused sort of grin. ]

Pretty good at figuring out what's not a dream or is now, actually, dreams are way weirder. [And more likely to kill you.] S'too nice to be any dream like that.

[ The smile turns a little sad at the statement, her forehead wrinkling a little as the deciphers the statement. It was enough to confirm her suspicions of him having been in another world, but certainly it didn't sound like something that would come out of a place like Atia. She knew it was unlikely he'd ever remember that island, but seeing him come with memories from another world was still somehow unexpected to her. Why now with two new universes under her belt she'd be shocked by all this was beyond her, but something in her still hadn't thought of it as a possibility.

Reaching up with a slightly hesitant hand in case he pulled away from her touch, she went to brush some imaginary dirt off the shoulder of his uniform, if only to get to feel him solidly underneath her touch and confirm that this wasn't a dream for herself. ]

I take it you went some place other than home as well before here? It seems to be a common thing in this world.
