January Character Test Drive Meme Post - How About A Nice Drive

[stringmods]

Ahh Hinoto-Ri. City of lights, questionable wards, the 13th Hour and Personas.

SCENARIO 1
Well it's been a hell of a ride so far, but you've not found yourself somehow testing one of Q's vehicles.


'Do try to bring it back in one piece' he said. What are all these buttons again?! Did you read the manual?...

...wait...

...do you even have a driving license?

SCENARIO 2
We hope you arrived in warm clothing because if not you'll sure be in for a surprise!



Hinoto-Ri is covered in snow! First you show up in a strange new place and now you're freezing cold. Maybe it's just a dream? But...you remember the man who said you were here as a special guest...don't you? Is this the city you're supposed to save?

[[OOC - 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. Try out your potentials and interact with the city around you! We'll supply some NPCs once in a while when you least expect it (after all have to test those out too, right?)]]

2- Palutena | Kid Icarus: Uprising (Kind of voice testing so still pretty rough. Sorry... orz)

[poorfueleconomy]

[As lovely as her flowing goddess dress is, it's not exactly the warmest thing she could have arrived in. So she's heading for the shopping district, trying to find something a little bit more weather friendly. Really, Philemon, she doesn't mind helping out with your shadow problem (Part and parcel of being the Goddess of Light and all) but this is no way to treat a lady.]

He could have at least offered me his coat. I mean, I'm not exactly dressed for field work.

....Not that I usually do my own field work.

[Anyway, the sooner she stops freezing, the sooner she can get to fixing this shadow business and head back home. A goddess has a lot of responsibilities after all.]

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

[ The shopping district, you say? That's where a certain angel works--a certain tired angel who's just finished a trying shift. Children, sugar, that kind of deal. He's too tired to partake in his bad habit of walking to the tram while playing a game. He's not even sure if he'll play his game once he's home. He thinks he'll just go...go to... ]

...?

[ He stops in his tracks, sensing a presence. A very familiar presence. Is his mind playing tricks on him, or is that... ]

Lady...Palutena?

[ No, that's. Well. It's not impossible, it's just...

Maybe he should look.

He begins scanning the crowd, feet leading him in the direction of the presence he feels. The further he walks, the stronger the presence. The less he can deny it's a trick of the mind. Wishful thinking. No, this is real, and his heart his beating faster at the thought of it. Could she really...?

Then he stops again. Because just outside that clothing store, that's...that's... ]

Lady Palutena?

[ And then he's breaking out into a run straight towards her. ]

Lady Palutena!

[poorfueleconomy]

[She notices his presence before she hears him calling.
Running and shouting is just slightly undignified, so she settles on turning with a warm smile.]


Pit! Now this is a nice surprise.

[Well, this whole shadow crisis thing just got a lot easier in her opinion. Philemon should have mentioned Pit when he brought her here. That guy really needs to get organized. He should fire his secretary....]

When did you get here?

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

Igotheremonthsagowhendidyougethereimissedyousoomuch!

[ He only takes a moment to breathe when he stops himself from getting any closer, makes a bow--

And then gives her a tight hug. ]

[poorfueleconomy]

You know Pit, these days it's in style to put a teensy little bit of space between each word.

[But she returns the hug just as tightly.]

Now did you say months or did I mishear that?

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

[ Shh, let him relish the moment.

...okay. She can have space to breathe now. ]

Yeah. I got here in, um... September, and it's December now!

Oh, and Pittoo's here, too. And Viridi.

[poorfueleconomy]

That long? And Pittoo and Viridi are here?

[She can't help but look slightly chagrined.]

Sorry, Pit. I guess I'm a little late to the party.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

That's all right. I'm just happy you're here.

[ Finally, but that's not her fault. ]

[poorfueleconomy]

Aw, Pit, did you miss me?

[Teasing a little. She knows he did. He always makes her feel wanted.]

But I guess that is a pretty long time. What have you been up to lately?

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

I've been working at a sweets shop. It's not too far from here.

[ He also tried dating, which hasn't gone so well, and befriending Pittoo, which also hasn't gone so well. ]

[poorfueleconomy]

Sweets shop, huh? I'll have to stop by when I get the chance. Think you can get me a discount?

[Only half joking. Because discount sweets would be sort of awesome.]

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

Probably. I might even slip in some for free.

I mean, I'm always giving Pittoo chocolate. But of course he never says thanks...

Had to do this. Light parallels.

[championofthesun]

[See that tall man in a suit of silvery-white armor? Yeah, you've got his attention just from sheer magical power.

But first things first. A lady requires assistance.]

Begging your pardon, but I believe I can be of assistance. I know of a nearby store which sells winter garments for a reasonable price.

[poorfueleconomy]

[Ah, finally some chivalry.]

Why, thank you. Would you mind showing me the way?

[She can certainly sense that there's something different about him too, but first things first. It's cold out here.]

So I'm guessing you didn't get any more warning than I did before being pulled into this mess?

[championofthesun]

Not at all. Please, follow me.

[He offers a slight bow, then turns in the right direction and begins to walk -- slowly at first, picking up when he's sure she's following him.]

I am afraid I did not, no. I hope this, ah, sojourn doesn't keep you from more important affairs.

[He won't say it aloud, but he's actually glad he was brought here. He'd much rather do some good for humanity one more time than face deletion.]

[poorfueleconomy]

[She follows.]

Well as I understand it, we should all be returned to when and where we left when this is all over.

[They'd better be. Or she's asking Philemon for a refund.]

[championofthesun]

Indeed, though being away for a long period of time can dull the mind regarding the task at hand. I myself will not be returning to anything of particular importance, but I am sure that that is not the case for other people here.

[poorfueleconomy]

I'm not too worried. Being a goddess, I'm used to dealing with time in rather long stretches.

[Yeah she did just say that like she was talking about the weather.]

Sort of comes with the territory.

[championofthesun]

[Okay. That got Gawain to stop.]

A...a goddess? I sensed an inordinate amount of power from you, but you say you are a goddess?

[poorfueleconomy]

That's right!

[She smiles proudly.]

I am Palutena, goddess of light.

...Well, back in my world anyway. Pleased to make your acquaintance, Sir...

[She leaves it open ended for him to fill in his name.]

[championofthesun]

O-oh, yes.

[With that, he gets down on one knee and places his right fist up against his left shoulder.]

Sir Gawain at your service, milady.

[poorfueleconomy]

[Oh dear, this one is adorable. Bowing and everything.]

You don't have to be so formal. We've all been roped into the same mission after all.

I think the easiest way to get through it is for everyone to work together as equals.

[She pauses for just a minute. Just so she can spend a few seconds pretending that such maturity and professionalism is going to be a thing.

She knows it isn't.]

But of course that's just the optimism talking. I'm sure there are plenty of people around who will be dead set on making this harder than it has to be.

[forceofnature]

[And here's an echo-y voice that Palutena is delighted to hear again, certainly! In keeping with the spirit of the game, Viridi is nowhere to be seen in person.]

...So. Didja lose some of your powers or are you auditioning for the part of 'enchantingly lovely freezing hobo' in a stage show?

No shame in the former; I got hit with the nerf ray, too.

[poorfueleconomy]

[She almost wishes she were surprised to hear her.]

Oh, I already got the part. The show opens in two weeks. You'll be there, right?

In all seriousness, though...you'd think that if they wanted our help they'd leave us with our full powers.

[forceofnature]

Well... I did have plans, but it's so rare to see you out of your hot tub I might as well go just for the novelty of it.

I've regained some of my strength with time. Maybe this world has to grow accustomed to intruding divinities or something.
