FEBRUARY TESTING POST: IT STILL HAS CARS AND SNOW

[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?)]]

[Well, it's about time. Ryoji would be relieved, if he wasn't fending off a giant, ugly, club-wielding yokai. Still, Thanatos is fairly powerful, so it isn't much longer before he forces the monster to retreat. Guess he wasn't that hungry for you, Natsume.

Ryoji reverts back to normal with a heavy sigh, cautiously walking down the path Natsume had taken. The other boy is probably terrified right now. Should he even be going to talk to him?]

[verytasty]

[ Natsume's been chased by enough yokai that although he was definitely scared, he calms down relatively quickly - especially since, as luck would have it, they were just around the corner from a shrine, anyway. If Ryoji follows him far enough, he'll find Natsume slumped on a bench there, resting and catching his breath. ]

[notsogrimreaper]

[Okay... okay, at least he's safe, just tired. Ryoji allows himself a slight bit of relief before hesitantly approaching the other.]

...Are you okay?

[verytasty]

[ Natsume startles a little at the voice, snapping his head up to look at Ryoji. He tenses a little, but he remembers that this guy did just save him, so he offers what he hopes is a reassuring smile. ]

Yes. Thank you. ... are you?

[notsogrimreaper]

[Ryoji still notices the tension, and stops immediately in his tracks, keeping a safe distance and looking away for a moment, smiling that same not-quite-real smile he always has when he's uncomfortable.]

I'm just fine. There's really no need to thank me... I'm just glad you're okay.

[verytasty]

[ That Ryoji stops and seems to respect that Natsume is a bit stressed at the moment is what gets him to relax a little further, still smiling. That, and he feels bad for making Ryoji feel uncomfortable, now. He looks down at the ground for a moment. ]

All I did was ask it what this place was... [ He sighs and glances up at Ryoji again. ] Do you know?

[notsogrimreaper]

I actually don't. It doesn't look like anywhere I've been... Sorry.

[He's apologizing for a lot more than just being unable to help with directions, of course. He's surprised Natsume hasn't brought up the whole 'other yokai' thing yet.]

[verytasty]

Oh... it's okay. I guess we'll just have to find someone else who knows.

[ He sighs and leans back on the bench again. After a moment, though, he looks at Ryoji again. ]

What's your name?

[ Yokai who take multiple forms aren't really surprising to him anymore, so he doesn't really think to question too much in that regard, though he is a little surprised Ryoji doesn't have a mask of some sort ]

[notsogrimreaper]

Oh, sorry. My name's Ryoji Mochizuki. What's yours?

[Ryoji mentally berates himself for apologizing. It's not like he really had a chance to when they were running from that monster. But he can use the apology as a sorry for what happened after, for what he became.]

[verytasty]

Um, Natsume. Takashi Natsume.

[ He smiles just a little. ]
