TEST DRIVE MEME
Back to Navigation
Prompt I: Mission, get!
And just on time, your phone buzzes with a notification from you-know-who.
Did you hear about the two guys who stole a calendar? They both got six months!
Ah, Topaz. What would you do without her?
Good morning! I hope you all at a hearty breakfast when you rolled out of bed today. A good breakfast can set the tone for the day, and we all like to get started on the right foot, don't we?
Oh, right! Your new assignment came in from the higher ups. Here's what they want this month:
✬ Mission Requirements: Make sure you bring a friend ♥ A friend of any specialization will do!
✬ Special Requests: The big wigs would like something particularly shiny and valuable this month. I do hear there's a special art exhibition being held at the Glymmer Museum of Modern Art? Perhaps you could start your search there.
✬ Mission: Steal something Sweet!
✬ Mission Requirements: Hmmm. . . this time, find a Grifter to help you out with this request. If you're already a Grifter, well! They do say that two is company, right?
✬ Special Requests: Find something sentimental! Sentimental things are usually sweet, right?✬ Mission: Steal the Sky!
Seems like two pretty straightforward missions, right? Time to grab a buddy and get started!
Prompt II: Practice Makes Perfect
So you've been in Glymmer long enough to work your way into purchasing a new ability for your specialization. That's awesome! How does it feel to have some Glymmer magic at your fingertips? Probably pretty great at any other time besides now, right?
Because today, your powers are giving you a bit of. . . trouble. They may activate or deactivate at completely inappropriate times, leaving you with a bit of a mess to clean up. If you're a thief, you might find yourself tumbling through random walls. If you're the muscle, you might find yourself accidentally pulling doors off of their hinges. If you're a hacker, you might find yourself shrinking to the size of an ant while trying to brush your teeth (don't drown in the sink!!) And if you're a grifter, you might suddenly become. . . um. The object of everyone's amorous feelings.
Don't worry! It's probably just a glitch? It'll be fine! It'll all wear off in time. Hopefully more like five minutes than five days. But it's kind of hard to tell when it comes to Glymmer Glitches.
Prompt III: Jailbreak??
Welp. The time has come. You always dreaded this day. Tried your hardest to keep it from happening, even. But today. . . you've been caught. The Glymmer Metropolitan Police Force has bested you, and now you’re sitting in the slammer. The big house, if you will. Gods damn it.
Fortunately, they haven't processed you yet! Your secret identity remains in tact, so long as you're still wearing your mask. For now, you're being held in a small cell with nothing but a bench for sitting and an open toilet that you really don't want to use. There's a tiny, iron bar-framed window, and a cell door also made of bars. And the fortunate thing? You're not alone.
A comrade from the guild is also being held with you. Maybe if you put your heads together, you can think a way out of this mess. After all, the guards are totally not paying attention to you.
Show them that it's always a bad idea to take one's eyes off of a phantom thief.
Prompt IV: Network
Today, your phone rings with a new message:
hi i am a glymmer princess who was just given a fortune by my dead uncle who left me all of his gold and jewelry and i don't want it so im trying to give it to the person i think deserves it the most and that person is u
if u reply to this with your name and bank account info i will ttly send u the money get rich quick $$$$$ thank u for being awesome
. . . what?
The weirdest part of this? This message is coming from one of your contacts. A friend you know well! That's concerning. Better check the Glymmer server to see if anyone else is having this problem. Or, you know, chew out your your contact for sending you spam mail. The nerve!!
Or you can use the network for any other purpose. The sky's the limit!
Wildcard.
Feel free to make up your own prompts!!

TDM Notes: The multiple prompt format will not appear in every intro or event post in the game! It is somewhat TDM exclusive to give you guys an idea of what kind of events will be run, and what kind of shenanigans are available for you to thread out ICly. TDM threads are not canon, so feel free to assume CR in order to get some good threads going! Feel free to assume code names as well, or that your character has already purchased abilities, to kind of get a feel for now the mechanics work. Go wild!
If you have any questions, feel free to hit up the Q&A page.

in a world where they've already met ig or something??
The mob descends upon them, crowding both of them with over enthusiastic and chattering people, shoving chocolate boxes and flowers and other gifts her way. It's hard to make out exactly what any one person is saying at a time, given that they're all trying to talk at once, but there's at least an overwhelming chorus of "please go on a date with me!" "I love you!" and other ridiculous things.]
Make sure my grave stone says something niceeee....
[She reaches for Minato mock dramatically, almost sort of lost among the fans given how short she was.]
YEAH let's save that for in game shenanigans
Minato blinks slowly, and then, way too casually for what he's about to say, he reaches out and grabs her hand (really, fishes it out from the horrible crowd) and announces without a shred of actual enthusiasm:]
Sorry, she's my girlfriend. We've been dating for three years. We have dreams of a house with a white picket fence and two dog children.
[... This naturally is not welcome news to the magicked and overwhelmingly fond crowd, but they also seem to back off at least a little.]
no subject
[Are they dogs who they treat like children, or is that a hybrid of dogs and children? Is this like that one anime, and they have a horrible amalgamation of dog and child? Either way, this seems to be working, though some of the crowd apparently have begun tearing up at losing their one true love, and are looking at Minato with a mixture of envy and despair.]
We've really gotta go, we have a date, you see—
no subject
Regardless, right, date.
Getting out of here.
Priority number one.]
Yeah, it'd be terrible if we missed our fancy dinner plus movie plus...romantic horse ride into the sunset.
[Faltered there at the end, Minato, but it was a nice try.
It seems to be enough, at least...the crowd is starting to properly dissipate now that it's clear Minako has become The Unattainable.]
no subject
Okay byeeeeee~.
[She waves to the crowd with her free hand, cheerfully beginning to drag Minato in the opposite direction of wherever they're all going, maintaining a smile until they successfully round a corner to safety. Once they're alone, she presses her free hand against her chest, leans over, and wheezes gently.]
Oh my god.
no subject
And then as she wheezes, he just retrieves his own hand to tuck it into his pocket.]
... You're really popular. I had no idea you have so many admirers. [Sugoi.
(He's teasing, a little.)]
no subject
[grumble grumble]
—Wait, hey mister, are you implying you thought I wouldn't have any admirers?
no subject
... I didn't say that.
[NOPE.]
I had no idea powers were on the fritz though... what an annoying situation. I guess we'll both have to be careful.
still me i just switched to my main acct
Haven't you ever wanted to have the authentic Akihiko-senpai experience? Walk around surrounded by your gaggle of adoring fans...
[She's joking obviously, because GOD has it been annoying.]
no subject
[Sounds like EFFORT.]
Do you feel more ready to punch things? [That's the proper Akihiko experience, right?] Maybe eat a lemon whole?
