June 2017 Test Drive

June Test Drive!
TEST DRIVE - JUNE 2017

Welcome to the very first Test Drive Meme for Gacha Hell: The RP! You know the drill - comment below and form threads to get a feel for the game, decide on a character, and establish an RP sample for your application.

If you want to know more about the game for writing your prompts, the directory is over here. Reserves are here, and Applications, when they open, will be here. Be aware that, for all characters who join during this first app cycle, the initial free Pull will have double weight applied to ★★★★★ regains!

REGAIN PROMPTS

These prompts are related to regains! Don't have any of those? We've got you covered - mosey on over to the Pull Simulator and click the button for a randomized pull of regains, then use those for your TDM prompts. Of course, you aren't beholden to the results - since this is just a simulator, you can reroll as much as you want, or even just make up some original regains for the purposes of your toplevel.

R1. Memory Regains: Congratulations! You rolled some memories, which have been instantly uploaded into your brain. Maybe you're looking for the person whose memories they originally were, or maybe you've found them and are ready to swap regains to give them back. Or, maybe you just opened the capsule, and you're still reeling from the mental impact. Having someone else's memories in your head is a confusing experience, so it can take a bit of adjustment to get used to the sensation.

R2. Ability Regains: Congratulations! You rolled a new ability, and you can now do things you never could before. Why not give your newfound skills a whirl to see how they work? If they're supernatural, they might be a little hard to control at first - hopefully nothing disastrous happens as a direct result of that.

R3. Item Regains: Congratulations! You rolled... something, and possibly due to a glitch in the system, it spawned right there in Gacha Central, rather than being sent to your apartment. What the hell is this, and what purpose could it possibly serve? Does it have any secret powers, or is it just a weird curio of another person's life? Experiment with it to see what it can do, auction it off to see if you can find its original owner, or maybe just figure out how the hell you're going to get it back home on your own.

QUEST PROMPTS

These prompts move beyond the gacha machine, and deal with the wider setting of Gacha City! Looks like some new monthly quests have rolled in, so it's time to debase yourself in the name of orbs.

Q1. Treasure Mountain Survival Shelter: Here, the rare monsters that would otherwise be fused into uncaring characters for bonus EXP can live in peace... but they do need taking care of, and there's an orb or two in it for you if you do your part. Diamond slimes, gold imps, platinum wisps... the bad news is, a lot of precious metals and crystals are also really hard. As much as these critters had a rough lot in life, they're high-energy, tough as steel, and prone to running into things. Your job is to make sure they get enough exercise. Good luck!

Q2. Fetch Quest: Looks like this month's quest is a randomized scavenger hunt! Some of the things you can find yourself, but some of them you'll have to fuse together from other items, which means you might have a bit of an adventure on your hands. Where the hell are you going to find an 'aged barber pole' for this?

EVENT WORLD PROMPTS

It looks like Gacha City has connected to a new Event World! For the duration of this TDM, you have access to the wonderful world of Battle Arena Mermadia, an underwater kingdom where brave heroes meet on an ancient 3-laned arena for 5-on-5 battles to destroy the enemy team's Aqua Crystal. Don't worry about breathing - upon arrival, your body will automatically be converted to a new mermaid form so that you can engage with the locals without drowning. The name of the quest: Go out into the world, recruit some allies, and win those battles!

E1. The Meta: Before stepping out into the field of aquabattle, you'd better do your research, or you're as good as toast. Which heroes are in their prime right now? Who are their main counterpicks? Is Sharkbiter better top or mid? Would your own regain abilities be better served on support or hunting mobs in the reefs while your allies push towards the next tower? How can you synergize with your allies to make sure nobody gets ganked? What the hell is with all these items? Who designed this game?

E2: No Plan Survives: The match has begun, and it is predictably a complete disaster. Isn't anyone communicating? Where the hell has the healer gone? When did the enemy team get so damn buff? Praise the sea gods that death just means you respawn 30 seconds later, and see what you can do to salvage a catastrophe in the making!

[ Ember has just made her pull. Got a couple memories, hey cool, but honestly those are way on the backburner compared to what has appeared directly in front of her. It stands about twice her height, and far longer. It's a 15.5cm Triple Gun Mount.

Not that Ember could name it, but it definitely belonged to a ship. ]


What the hell.


Q2.

[ Ember's standing in front of a bakery in town, holding up what could pass for a shopping list, eyes narrowed. ]

I got a camera, I don't know if it counts as peculiar. But what's a rare breadstick...? [ She looks through the bakery's windows. ] "Rare"....

R3

A five star pull! Marisa got a five star pull! She's VERY exicted up until she gets the item out of its capsule and finds...a rubber chicken. With a pully in the middle.

Marisa was peering at it from all kinds of weird angles, trying to figure out why this was rated five stars.

"It must have magic powers or something. Maybe it lets me speak to birds somehow. Can it lay eggs?"

Q2

There it is. The legendary x1 Large Gameboy. The last item you need to finish your quest.

Unfortunately it's also the last item Marisa needs to finish HER quest, and she's gotten her flying ability back for the purposes of this prompt. You're probably closer, but she's swooping down at a VERY high speed towards her prize. Run quick or she'll snatch it right out from under your nose!

E2

Marisa finally made it to the site of the teamfight about thirty seconds AFTER the rest of her team got nuked to hell. Normally she was pretty fast, but here...

Here she still had on her dress despite her new form. They'd shown her the shell bra that was the traditional garment for a mermaid and she'd whole heartedly refused to wear it. Now she realized WHY they dressed like that. This much fabric generated an awful lot of drag underwater. It left her slow.

She still had to try, though. Especially since running away wan't really an option. She raised her firsts, which were enveloped in a glowing heart shaped aura, courtesy of one Heartful Punch, and prepared to sell her life as dearly as she could.

"Come on then! I'll take you all on together!"

R2:

"Uhhhh."

She'd opened up the capsule, and suddenly her body felt weird. It took her a moment to work out exactly what had happened: she was stretchy now. She gave her left arm a good yank, and it stretched like it was made of taffy. Fortunately, she was able to push it back in as easily, although it took her a few seconds of adjusting until she was satisfied it was the original length.

"I'm pretty sure this isn't mine," she said to nobody in particular. She tugged on her forelock and it stretched as well...which gave her an idea. She found a reflective surface and began playing with her pink hair, pulling and pushing it. It was a much more convenient way of experimenting with different hairstyles than growing and cutting it normally!

"What do you think?" she asked a random passerby as she turned away, her hair now boyishly short. "How's it look? Uh, if it's not too much trouble to ask," she said, suddenly realizing that accosting random strangers for beauty tips was a bit rude.

E2:

Swimming wildly through The Coral Jungle, Heartful Punch ducked under a fire blast, juked to the right around around a second, and stopped short as a big rock fell right in front of her. Her pursuers were all around her, but she could see the Tower right ahead of her, promising safety if only she could reach it.

Suddenly, a chain lashed out of the darkness, wrapping itself around her fins, holding her in place. "No no no no no--"

And then, with a flash of light, she was back at the spawn point, sprawled out on the ground. The game clock, hovering overhead, showed that it was thirty second later.

"Dang it!" she said, punching the ground in frustration. That was the third time she'd gotten ganked, and the battle had barely been on for ten minutes! They just came out of nowhere, and even though she was pretty sure she could punch one of them up pretty good, that didn't help much when three of them jumped her at the same time. It also didn't help that punching underwater was proving more challenging than she'd anticipated.

She rose up, slapping her cheeks a couple of times. Okay. No point getting mad at it. The other team was way ahead now. What were they going to do to turn it around?

There was another flash of light, and the respawner dumped some other poor sap onto the ground next to her. "Hey," she said, bending down and offering her hand. "It's not going so well, huh."

R2

[Mae's first pull turned out awesomely. She got her own baseball bat, a Memory Fragment (whatever that is), and...

Okay, maybe not completely awesomely. Right now, Mae is in the middle of Gatcha Central, in front of some ostentatious fountain, looking like she's doing a really, really bad kung-fu routine.]


Rrrgh... come on, you stupid... water! Move! Do what I ask you!

[When Mae puts her arms out in front of her like a shitty Kamehameha, though, she doesn't manipulate the water in the fountain... it just comes right out of her hands. Straight onto you. Oops.]

Q2

SORRY I NEED THESE FOR A QUEST I'LL PAY YOU GUYS BACK WHEN I TURN IT IN THANKS BYEEEEEEEEE

[That's what Mae is yelling as she runs through the streets with what looks like 4x Mint Condition Wine Bottles under her arms, trying to book it from some angry, angry shopkeepers. She's not watching behind her and barely watching where she's going, so it's highly, highly likely that she'll run into someone with her ill-gotten goods...]

-R3-

Undine yelps in surprise as she opens the capsule. Fifteen pale orbs pour out of it, scattering into the air around her. Surprising, sure, but apparently not dangerous.

"Um..." The wisps remained still, somehow exuding an impression of attentiveness, like they were waiting for her to say something. What do you say to a bunch of wisps? "Can... you do things? Like, shoot lasers, or pick things up, or--"

At once, the wisps scatter, grabbing random small objects all around the plaza and waving them around the air. Undine rushes after them in a panic. "Wait! Put that down, it probably belongs to someone! No, don't just--"

Help a girl out?


-Q1-

'Care for creatures in need of a home', it said. 'How hard could it be,' she thought. The orbs called.

Ten minutes into the shift, Undine scrambles back out of the treasure monster enclosure, looking panicked, disheveled, and bruised. The sound of gold slimes bouncing off of walls can still be heard through the door.

"I can't go back in there. I won't survive a full hour of this."

R2 - New Ability Get: Zetta's Weaker Minion Summon

Madoka has the oddest feeling she should know how to use this katana. And that the summoning was familiar too. But until then...

She's amusing herself by seeing how many Prinnies high she can stack a staircase so they can make her ascend to the top and she can take a look around. Beats having to roll uphill.

This would probably be a better idea with minions that weren't high explosive penguins, dood.

E1 - Gettin' Meta with it

Okay so she was CLEARLY a support caster with her mermaid abilities - which apparently included a pair of propellers strapped to her waist, which even she has to admit is effin cool. But what kind of support? The kind of support focusing on slow, mana intensive roots and debuffs, with a heal. Clearly this called for coordination with...

"Hey, we got any stupidly mobile bursty ADC's in the house? Come with me if you want to crush Botlane and get sick kraken kills."

"What the hell is this crap?!"

The speaker was not the tall demonic figure with blank white eyes and hair that looked and moved like flames. No, the voice came from the book that figure held mindlessly in its hands, from a mouth twisted up in frustration and bitterness.

"Stupid body! Why won't I go back inside you!?" the book snarled, twisting like it was trying to burrow into the figure's chest. The body didn't so much as flinch, even when a corner dug into its skin roughly. "Rrrgh! You're damn lucky you have your looks!"

E2

The devs must have been slacking, because Zetta had claimed bottom for his own, backed up by the powers he'd pulled out of the gacha machine and his own body -- which was carrying him around, the book having as yet failed to figure out how to get his soul back into the damn thing. At the sight of the enemy traipsing down the lane, the two turned their attention away from kicking scrub minions.

"Zetta Buster BEAM!" the book toned -- and then the recoil of the energy blasting out of its eyes slammed it back into the unyielding flesh of the demon body. The massive column of light blew away not only the enemy hero, but an uncomfortable amount of the the jungle as well. Not that Zetta noticed, as he squirmed with his eyes scrunched up. "Ow ow ow! That freaking hurt!"

R3
Robin is holding a gemstone in one gloved hand, holding it up to the light. "Well, it's pretty." She didn't think it was hers -- were you supposed to get some kind of reaction to your own possessions, even if you didn't remember owning them?

Q2
"Can someone point me to the library?" The scavenger hunt was looking for a 'rare cookbook' and Robin's logic was that you go tot he place with the most books.

E1
Robin is watching a match, her new butterfly-fish patterned tail curled under her. "Hrn.... looks like the Octo-knights are leaving on of their fighters with their support. Do you think that they can spare two people from the front line?"

She may really be getting into the game.

...

What is this?

Seriously, what is this?

The label on the bottle reads "BBQ Soda". She doesn't dare open it to try it. She hopes to whatever force is out there that this isn't what it advertises itself as, and if it is...

What sort of monstrosity is this?!

She stares at the bottle in offended horror for the next few minutes, holding it by the tips of her fingers and as far away from her as possible. It's quite comical, given that it is nothing but a harmless bottle of BBQ soda.

Q1

Even with her enhanced Magical Girl strenght and stamina, Pechika had never quite been any good at physical endeavors, and she was even less prepared to handle critters such as these.

(With her Magical Skill, Miyokata would have had no problems with this task. She misses having her around, laughing; she misses her team.

She also misses her own skill, even though she can't remember what it did- she can't help to wonder if it would have been helpful in her current situation.)

After half an hour of attempted and only-half-successful looking after the critters, Pechika manages to find a spot out of most monster's reach and slumps down, exhausted.

"Why do these things need supervision again...?" she asks, more to herself than to any possible listeners.

R1:

[Talk about rotten luck. Not only does she get two pieces of crap for her starting draw, but she also gets some... memory? Can you call it a memory? Why would anybody give blood, anyway! That's dangerous! And then she got her heart shot out and a bunch of stuff, but she knows her name's not Minako.

She grabs her head and yells.]


GOD I'M JUST PISSED OFF NOW! I just wanna beat someone up! Who the fuck cares so much about being "pure" anyway?!

[Clearly not her.]

Q2:

[The only thing she cares about in this pile of crap she has to get is a diamond. Because diamonds sell a hell of a lot even if they AREN'T being used for some nebulous questing purpose. Of course, since they ARE rare, and since Li doesn't have the benefit of a long period of training at the moment, she's reverting to bad habits. Which is why you now see her in front of you as you're walking through this forest here.]

All right. Hand over the diamond and I won't beat ya to a pulp. Got it?

[As soon as the capsule drops, Satania greedily wrenches it open to get at the sweet treasure inside. When the capsule pops open Satania feels a bit different. She smirks and points her finger towards the sky. A yellow beam emerges.]

Oh, this is so cool.

[She starts shooting her beam off all over the square.]

Q1

[Satania's usual luck with animals seems to have remained when she came to this new world. She's currently being dragged behind a group of gold imps on leashes.]

Stop it! You guys have to listen to me so stop it.

Behold.

[ Video Gachat post. Orion's kitchen. Slowly, sleeves rolled up, without breaking eye contact with the camera, he places his hand palm-down about three inches over the countertop.

After a pause for gravitas, a single brown egg materializes between his hand and the countertop. ]


Egg.

[ From there, he moves his hand in a slow sweep, depositing another eleven eggs on the counter next to it. Then, he re-adds them to his inventory, and they vanish one by one. ]

You guys can keep your giant lasers and flight and invulnerability, I just won the goddamn superpower lottery. Never again will I have to figure out where the hell I put my keys or wallet. I'm permanently immune to pickpockets. I can have a near-unlimited supply of snacks on my person at all times. Beat that.


-E1-


When the team learned about the upcoming Battle Arena match, Orion immediately went to connect to the Mermadia internet to do a little research. When you see him again the following morning, he looks like he hasn't slept, or stopped researching, ever since.

"Don't worry, I've got this whole game figured out. Ignore the go-to meta comps, they're for scrubs. This game isn't anything like the MOBAs we know, and we need to adapt. We're going double junglers."

It's a reef, not a jungle, but he's not letting that slow him down now. He's cracked the code, apparently.

[Nira is staring at the spiked wheelchair she just got out of the orb with an expression approximating awe. Her walking stick has clattered to the ground.]

Oh. My. God. Why couldn't the hospital give me chairs like this? [She's going to cautiously try and sit down in it to test the balance, before picking up her walking stick and laying it in her lap.] Now, how do you steer this thing...?

R3-2

[A while later, Nira might be found skidding down a slope in her new spiked wheelchair, arms thrown into the air.]

THIS IS THE BEST THING EVERRRRRR! WOOHOOOOOOOOO!

Q1

[Nira has a soft spot for underdogs and the ignored, so she's immediately headed to help these critters out. Unfortunately, as she staggers behind a bouncing group of diamond slimes, it becomes clear that her own energy can't keep up.]

Hhhh...yes, little guys! Go on! I-I'll catch up to you in a moment! [She's leaning heavily on that walking stick of hers now.]

King peered at the Mini-Hakkero in confusion. Apparently this was some kind of weapon, but she could not figure out HOW for the life of her. Maybe it unfolded somehow? She started pushing on various sides and generally trying to force it.

Several minutes later, there was a gigantic explosion of light. King was lying on the bottom of a small crater, looking stunned and singed but not seriously hurt. The Mini-Hakkero was lying, undamaged, on her chest.

-E2-



Things were exploding, people were screaming, and everything was generally going to hell in a hand basket, so why did King look like she was having the time of her life? Despite now being a REALLY good time to retreat, King was holding a harpoon gun in each hand and trying to charge them down.

I guess it's good that the tank wants to go toe to toe with the enemy, but this seems ill advised. Also the fact that she hasn't said anything for the entire match is worrisome. Is she even paying attention to team chat?

Try to save her, or just let her death cover your retreat and meet up again when she respawns?

[ R3 ]

Woowww!!

[ Falulu has managed to pull a giant spatula. She is not even familiar with more traditionally-sized kitchen utensils, so this is extremely interesting.

She swings the spatula around, holding it with both hands and feeling the air whiff through the holes. ]
So big! So strong! Whoosh~

[ Falulu is so busy giggling, she doesn't see you heading up to her...and she's swinging the spatula again.... ]

[ Q1 ]

All right!!

[ Falulu has instituted herself as big sister to all of these funny, fun creatures. They don't always listen to her, but she is trying. Oh, how she is trying. It kind of feels familiar.

Here she is with an arithmetic book she found somewhere. ]


Everyone who wants to learn with Falulu, gather around Ms. Stick!

[ Yes, she still has the spatula. Yes, she's carrying it with her anywhere.

...No, this does not appeal to any of the creatures here. Falulu's face falls. Maybe she doesn't know enough to be a big sister, after all. Especially since she feels like she once knew nothing, then learned everything, then forgot everything again. ]


Is Falulu....doing something wrong?

[ E2 ]

Ahaha!

[ Falulu, unlike everyone else in battle, hasn't moved. Instead, she floats in place, twitching her tail and clapping her hands. Magic blasts go off all around her. ] Playing underwater - is so much fun!

[ She may not have realized the object of the game. ]

[Being tossed into a strange place and stripped of her ability to summon spirits as well as some of her memories was quite an unwelcome experience. At first, she pondered the possibility of it being a plot by one of her enemies, but she quickly ruled that out. They'd probably have simply finished her off. Instead, the possibility that someone powerful was toying with her seemed far more likely.

At first she hesitated to try out the pull machine. But she decided it was better to take the chance of regaining her memories and capabilities. So she made her pull and the capsules came out...

Not much longer later, for the sake of testing out her new abilities she's flying around in a half-dragon form while yelling "Hello" now and then. If you hear her, you likely will feel an overwhelming urge to greet her in response to her hello. Such is the nature of her new hello spell.]

Q1
[As it turns out, a four-feet-tall dogperson isn't a good match for a bunch of hyperactive critters. She's being bowed over entirely too easily every time they ram into her, and is trying to get out of there, but every time she gets rammed over again.

Help her? Laugh at her? Something else?]
