TEST DRIVE MEME

Unsure of who to send to Hinoto-Ri? Want to have written samples for your application or just do a little bit of testing out? This is the meme for you!

▶ Pick a prompt or start your own!
▶ Tag others!
▶ Join the game!
▶ If you need Persona help, or have a question about the game itself, there's a section below with fellow players and mods who will be happy to aid you!

▼ A city like no other...

Ahh Hinoto-Ri. City of lights, questionable Wards, the 13th Hour and Personas. A city that requires your aid in saving it, but sometimes in the strangest of ways...

▼ SCENARIO 1: A note to remember

Japanese school may be rather different for you, but you've been adjusting! However, something unexpected gets dropped desk (or foot locker) today.



Hmmm. This might be, well it would depend what type of person you are, actually. But the question is, how do you react? And most importantly, who do you accuse?

▼ SCENARIO 2: Teenbeat Magazine!

Today, you're browsing through the recently received news when you see the following message pop up on the screen:

LIKE OMG we've got the sexiest of the Visitors and who's totally dateable this Valentine's month!!! THE RESULTS ARE IN AND---

Naturally, upon scrolling down, you see a picture of yourself in nothing but your swimwear. And almost immediately, it seems there are people on the street beginning to glance in your direction...

▼ SCENARIO 3: Dolphins in the sky with diamonds

You've heard the rumors, but never seen them before.



Hinoto-Ri's fabled flying dolphins: are they friend or foe? Do you want to try riding one? Or will you just let the majestic creatures continue past undaunted? Whatever happens, be prepared for your life to be changed forever!!!

▼ SCENARIO 4: What do all these buttons do?!

They told you about Q's . Truth be told, you didn't expect him to ask you for this, but he needs a guinea pig no seriously guinea pig to test out his newest vehicle. It's the 13th Hour, and the night sky above is stained red. He looks at you before you start driving.

"Now do be careful. I've installed all sorts of weapons inside the old girl. If you could bring it back in one piece?"

No problem, you think, before you realize you have no idea what all these buttons do. Now what?

...Wait.

...Do you even have a driving license......?

▼ SCENARIO 5: A Night in Hinoto-Ri

The 13th hour. Although technically the 25th hour of each day, it is the time when the world seems to change - the entire city turns a shade of dark red, demons emerge from the shadows, buildings shift and dangers lurk in every corner.

But it's your job to make this safer. Just be careful of what you run into --



...oookay. This might be a little trickier than normal.

▼ SCENARIO 6: Arrival

It's getting colder with each passing day. The nights are getting longer, which the demons seem to like, but it makes the city that more dangerous. Of course you wouldn't exactly know that because you just got here.

Maybe if you can find someone who knows exactly what is happening, you'll be able to confirm that it wasn't just a dream. Remember, the man you talked with (butterfly-mask guy?) said you were here as a Special Guest. If this is the city you're supposed to save, maybe he should have given you a map or something. Time to start exploring on your own...

▼ Post Info & Persona Help

Welcome to the test post! Don't worry too much about Persona stats or your levels here, just come out and make up a scenario about what they are doing.

If you are having an issue thinking of or creating your Persona, this section below can help you out! Just follow this link.

/SHRIEK - I mean

[hawkattack]

[... There was someone else who saw that picture. Someone who's currently standing wide-eyed at the screen, and then frantically attempting to erase that message.]

[He. He doesn't need to see this, Cykes-dono. But he is distracted as he's standing in the middle of the sidewalk.]

HI SIMON; 1/2

[cykedfists]

[Is there any way to delete this? Why did people feel the need to confuse a noobie even further as to how they got a picture of her like this...? While in the midst of trying to figure out how to even use this thing....

Was that..]

DON'T ENJOY THAT TOO MUCH!; 2/2

[cykedfists]

S-Simon?!

[Yep... Blurted it out. Instead of focusing on the picture now, she rushes over to him instead.]

You're here too? Where are we?

HE'S NOT HE'S HORRIFIED

[hawkattack]

[Wait what what is going on - he looks down and down and down to see Athena, eyes going even wider.]

C-Cykes-dono?

[It's been... a while for him, give him a moment.]

... This is Hinoto-Ri. I've been here for some time.

[Enough to get a license here, at least.]

GOOD. NOW EXPLAIN TO HER WHO DID THIS B|

[cykedfists]

[Cykes-dono. She hasn't heard that in a while. It was actually kind of refreshing.]

Hinoto-Ri....? Where the heck is that....?

HE DOES NOT KNOW BUT THEY WILL BE PROSECUTED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW 8(

[hawkattack]

Japan. ... Specifically the Japan of another world, as unlikely as that sounds.

[It's still not something that sits well with him, but it's really the only explanation.]

GOOD! FOR ONCE WE'RE ON THE SAME SIDE OF A CASE

[cykedfists]

The Japan of another world....?

[Japan was a good enough answer, but of course these worlds can't be simple.]

So how did I even get here....?

Fool Bright is not invited. :|

[hawkattack]

A being named Philemon apparently brings people here from other worlds.

[His tone is... somewhat hesitant. Even with everything he's somewhat accepted here, the idea of an entity like that does not really make him pleased.]

Nope. He sure isn't.

[cykedfists]

[Philemon... She's never heard of that name before, but that was only natural here. Considering apparently they were in a completely different world.

She really doesn't know what to say to that. From a the viewpoint of law, this was completely illegal. But how exactly would you go about dealing with it?]

I see....

[hawkattack]

... You remember the concept of a 'persona' from your classes, I assume. In this place, we can summon them to defend ourselves.

[Which stinks of magic bullshit to him but it's at least provable magic bullshit.]

[cykedfists]

Persona? Uhm.... You lost me....

[hawkattack]

... Tch. You need to do more homework, Cykes-dono. A 'persona' is a concept in Jungian philosophy. A kind of mask, the face you show to the world.

[cykedfists]

[.... Give her a break it's been a while.]

I see... I'll have to look into that then.

[hawkattack]

Hmph. There is plenty of time to sharpen your blade here.

[... And he has to admit, the idea of facing Athena in a courtroom as a free man makes him happier than it should.]

But as I said, we can summon an aspect of ourselves to fight here. It is also possible to gain access to other Persona to fight with. It is a necessity here, as all manner of strange creatures roam the streets at night.

[cykedfists]

[Good. He should be happy about that. Now they can have sleepovers and catch up.]

What kind of strange creatures?

[hawkattack]

[She is not braiding his hair. Again.]

... The locals call some of them demons.

[cykedfists]

[strike>That's what he thinks. It will happen eventually.]

...... Demons..... [Sorry. That's a little strange even for Athena.] Demons like.... Tenma Taro?

[hawkattack]

[It's strange for him, too.]

... Similar in concept, yes.

[Can you feel his unsure about this, Athena? Because it's a lot.]

[cykedfists]

[She can.... which isn't surprising at all. Even for her, she doesn't completely believe in real demons.]

Are they actual demons though?

[hawkattack]

Many of them match those descriptions, yes.

[It's nothing short of maddening. He is a prosecutor, reliant on facts and reason. And yet... the evidence here points to something an impossibility!]

[cykedfists]

But... How exactly... [She's still not sold on this. What good would it do to continue to question it though?]

[hawkattack]

... I don't know.

[He just. Has stopped asking that one, honestly. For his own sanity.]

[cykedfists]

[She's just going to leave it as is.... It's too weird...]

Have you... been okay? You've been getting enough sleep right?

[hawkattack]

[Probably for the best - oh no don't do this to him, Athena.]

Enough, yes.

[To function on a reasonably conscious level, he doesn't add.]

[cykedfists]

[You knew it was coming.]

Enough... Just how much is... enough?

[You see that look she's giving you. You still have those bags under your eyes...]
