JANUARY TDM
|
JANUARY TEST DRIVE The city of Recollé. A beautiful city with beautiful people. The place you call home. It's a wonderful home, isn't it? With everything you could possibly ever want right at your fingertips, why would you ever want to leave? In honor of this glorious city, the residents of Recollé are preparing for its annual Founder's Day celebration…you'll help out, won't you? I. Recollé Square is bustling with activity today and several residents are working together to pitch a large tent. Others are working together to decorate the fountain of the founders with flowers and streamers. Children and dogs run through the area and there's song in the air as everyone works together. Are you one of the people helping with the streamers? Or perhaps you're holding the ropes of the tent taunt so it doesn't blow away? Hey, maybe you're catering the whole event to feed those hard workers! The choices are endless…but you might want to catch those balloons that are starting to float away! II. Meanwhile in Chata, business is booming as everyone crowds the parking lot of Freshens trying to fight their way into the store. You really should have thought to buy your groceries much sooner. Everyone knows that Founder's Day is one of the best potluck days and, weather permitting, picnic days. Are you having any luck getting into the store? Is that the last rack of ribs? You better hurry and snag them! On the flipside, shop owners in Chata are busy setting up food stalls and merchandise tables in preparation of the main event. The smell of sweets and spices fills the air and you can't help but follow your nose to check it out. The vendors are all friendly and happy to give away samples of their goods in the hopes that you'll be back in a few days' time. Or maybe you're one of those vendors hoping to attract customers for Founder's Day. Do you have all of your supplies? Your permits? Is that teenager trying to steal apples from your produce stand? Everything's a little chaotic in the days before Founder's Day. III. The work doesn't stop there. Over in Tisse it's party central with flashing lights, sound tests, and a festive atmosphere that says the celebration's already started for several businesses. The line for Expressive is out the door with customers eager for their Founder's Day special. Be careful, you might have to finagle your way through the crowd. Throughout the day you may hear music and mic tests coming from the Atrium as the local schools work together during their dress rehearsal for the Founder's Day Pageant. You might even have an insider's look if you're one of the students in the pageant or one of the stage hands helping with last-minute set design, costume alteration or any of the other countless things that could go wrong. The employees at the boutiques inside the Towers are bustling as well, swapping their floor displays and handing out flyers and coupons to shoppers to encourage them to come back for their big sales. Maybe you are one of those employees and now you're dealing with some wicked papercuts, or maybe the smell of butter is seeping into your clothing as Flix opens its doors to an early marathon of historical films depicting the life and tales of the city. Tisse is most certainly the busiest of the districts today, but there's still so much to be done! IV. Most important of all, back in Tribunal Terrace residents will find Mayor Mayer out and about today which may seem unusual. The Mayor tends to stay inside City Hall keeping the city running from there, but today he's speaking with someone handling a large truck. People passing by may hear some scurrying from inside the truck, the sound of claws skittering on the metal floor, and…is that clucking? No, wait, now it's the sound of hoofs clomping and the whinny of a horse. What's going on in there? Maybe you should investigate and ask around. Employees working for the Mayor will only give you a strange look in response, and the Mayor himself is unavailable for commentary…but it can't just be your imagination, can it? Upon further examination and questioning residents will be told that these are horses for pony rides for the kids on Founder's Day, but that doesn't stop all of the weird noises. What on earth is going on? BONUS. Despite the festivities and the light-hearted mood of the city, it's still winter. Like all winters prior, it's chilly enough that you'll need a warm coat outside, but the storm season has passed. Instead, today in all districts there's a light flurry of snow falling, snowflakes gently twirling and landing on your shoulders and in your hair. It's not enough to stop the work, but it may send several people to crowd inside coffee shops for a hot drink or shops to take a break from the cold. Bet you weren't expecting that influx of business, were you? And later…much later, in fact, those carrying cell phones or tablets will feel a jolt from the device. A closer look will reveal that a new application has started to install itself on these devices, but you can't seem to open it right away. That's a bit odd, isn't it? It might be wise to check other devices in the city to see if the application's installed itself. Upon further investigation, though, you'll find only a handful of residents have the app installed. The app pops up on any public computer you may use but fades away the moment you log off. Strange, strange, strange. Once it fully loads on your device, you'll find that the app, Retrospec, appears to be a social media app with the option to friend people, share statuses, pictures, videos and more. Those sections are currently blocked out, however. Take some time to fill out your profile if you'd like; that portion of the application seems to be the only one that can be accessed currently. All other social media (Facebook, Twitter, and regular texting) are accessible, but the app itself stubbornly remains on your own profile page. Welcome to the recolle test drive meme! All characters will be begin in-game AU'd as Recollé residents. You may use any of the above prompts for ideas or make up your own depicting your Recollé AU! Prompts do not have to be set in the districts listed above. You can review our list of locations for what's available. Please note that TDM threads can be used as samples, can be kept as game canon if both parties agree, and can also be used for bonus points for future item regains. (Additionally: we will not be allowing TDM threads to be used for memory regains.) Write as many or few prompts as you want, tag around, and have fun!
As a reminder: as per our app rules, please try not to reference other characters in your threads or in your AUs if that character isn't being applied for! Our favorite example is as follows: if an Elsa from Frozen is being TDM'd, we ask that the player not reference her sister Anna by name unless an Anna is planning to TDM and be part of the same AU. Elsa can reference her younger sister in threads as much as she'd like if she has a sister in her AU, but we ask that names are not specified without having that character TDM'd and without the player's permission. Please also remember that posting to the TDM does not equate a reserve, which open on 1/18. The January 2017 TDM directory can be found here. The January 2017 Workshop can be found here.

Wildcard
He sighed, aggravated, watching Izuku pile too many books.]
You're going to drop everything if you keep carrying too many books, dumbass.
[He dropped his bag filled with his art supplies and stomped over to him, taking a few books from him]
What the fuck are you trying to do anyways?
no subject
Ever since he has been a bit more leery of the other boy. He doesn't blame him though, not exactly. After all, broken noses heal, but Bakugou had been expelled because of it. He can't help but think that the other boy must blame him for that.
Which is why he's so surprised when the blond teen takes some of the books off his stack. He stares mutely for a moment before trying to respond.
He can't really say that he was pretending to have super strength.]
I-I thought maybe it w-would be faster this way!
no subject
[He scowled at Izuku and then sighed a moment later.
He didn't blame Izuku for being expelled. Sure Izuku had been the catalyst for it but he was self-aware enough to know that breaking the other's nose had been simply the straw that broke the camel's back.
Though it was a big fucking straw, he had only given others black eyes before. It was more like Izuku was just a reminded of how much of a fuck up he was. He never tried to approach Izuku aside from one final apology that he was pretty sure Izuku didn't buy, not that he blamed him, so... That's where they're at.]
no subject
It's true that he hadn't bought the other boy's apology then. In fact, he's pretty sure that he had only gotten an apology because Bakugou was forced into it.]
I-I don't know. I just t-thought I should t-try. [What a pathetic excuse. But it's not like he thinks Bakugou wants a real answer. Why would he care if Izuku got a hernia?]
no subject
Fuck this is getting awkward. He wants to... say more but he doesn't know what.]
You never think things through.
[He grimaces because he knows he doesn't think much either. He's very much caught up in the moment, thus Izuku's broken nose. He hadn't meant to hit. He was... pissed off, and angry and Izuku had the misfortune of drawing his attention at that moment.]
no subject
T-thank you for picking up the books. But I really need to get back to shelving these.
[The librarian tends to get a bit testy when she thinks Izuku is goofing off when he should be working. They're hidden from her view for now, but it's only a matter of time before she comes looking for him.]
no subject
Yeah. No problem. Just tell me where to put these and point me to the art history.
[It sounds awkward. And he feels uncomfortable]
Please.
[Look, he's trying to be polite. Even if it sounds forced.]
no subject
Those should all go on that second shelf next to you. And the art history should be in the non-fiction section to the right, about half way down the aisle. There should be a label on the bookcase marking where the section begins.
[He's never taken Bakugou for being much of the artist type. He would ask about it if he wasn't so sure that his only response would be to the effect of it's none of his business.]
no subject
Right.
[He quickly takes care of the books and then heads to where Midoriya pointed]
Thanks. Don't carry too much otherwise you'll just fucking hurt yourself.
[He studies the art history books on Neo-Classicism, before choosing three and heading to a table. He pulls out his sketchbook and notebook and opens one of the books. He doodles while reads. Mostly he's skimming now until he comes to a full page spread of Mengs' Judgement of Paris. The assignment was to find a Neo-Classical work and redraw the scene in the student's own style. He figures this is a good enough. He jots some notes on his notebook and then turns his sketchbook to a blank page and begins to draw.
His own style is very much inspired by comic books and manga. If he had to compare his style to someone else's he'd probably say Amanda Conner. Kinda cartoony, but not so out there.
While he sketches out the draft, he gives the goddesses clothing. He doesn't feel like drawing naked people.]
