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?)]]

Keeping things to yourself isn't lying.

[Except it feels like it. How many times has she almost told Shirou the truth only to be reminded he could get caught up in whatever trouble might come her way? How many times since coming here has she had to bite her tongue to keep from telling her uncle about the Grail War even when she sees his eyes trailing the Command Seals on her hand at the breakfast table? How many times had she gone to school, looked everyone in the eye, and let them think she's afraid of water because she can't risk people seeing her walk on it?

Ector disappears in a moment, spent. She'd have to summon him again if she wanted to have him attack again, but her bokken is in one piece, thankfully. She'd struck him so hard she thought she had broken it. Fortunately it held.

Unfortunately, so had he, and Arturia is wary. She knows she shouldn't let her emotions get to her in combat. She's the first person to tell people that, in fact, but this Servant had struck a cord she didn't realize she had and it only makes that awful guilt pile up and press on her brain and what is it that she wants to set right? It's going to drive her mad if this keeps up!]

And omitting the facts isn't being honest either. You're being economical with your truths here, lady, might want to do something about that.

[There's not a bruise on his heavily tattooed skin where she had struck him, and he's still smiling a little unstably because hey, this is sorta fun. Granted his idea of having fun was severely twisted and he still didn't understand why this girl stood before him as a Master instead of a Servant as he recalled it, but it wasn't boring.

Mentally, Avenger considered his chances; the girl with the face of the King of Knights had a combat familiar on her side, a wooden stick, and (presumably) an Archer at her beck and call she could order to shoot him full of as many holes in his body as there were in his soul. He, on the hand, had no Master, ineffective weapons, and no supply of prana to draw upon meaning he would have to ration his slowly dwindling energy. And even going all out, he was still the weakest Servant of the lot, so he risked being killed without any reassurance of being revived by the four-day time loop. Damn.]

[If she had Archer here she knew her chances enough to have called him to her side already and he would have been here in an instant.

Maybe.

He tended to be quiet, barely speaking to her. If it wasn't for how forceful Rin could be or the need to explain the situation to Arturia when they first met, she had a feeling he would have disappeared and not said a word to her at all.

Maybe he saw in her whatever was wrong with her. Whatever it was she'd done to make her need to set something right. A wish.... realize her wish? What does he mean?]

My business is my business, Servant. If I choose not to tell people a few things, it harms no one.

[Except it did. It did. Something gnaws at the back of her mind. Keeping a key thing to herself led to a downfall, a collapse. She wasn't fit for the job, but what job? It presses on the back of her mind and the tip of her bokken briefly shakes as her hands do. She has to keep focused, has to try, but it's so hard with the insistent pressure building up, like a balloon is filling on the inside of her skull and pressing on her very consciousness.]

Not for me. And I tried three different browsers and two computers to make sure it wasn't mine. 8C

|O what, damn, I'm sorry. It was an icon of Avenger being creepy and invasive of personal space.

I figured it was something like that. The text said enough for me to figure it out.
