Test Drive Meme - March Edition!

[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 now 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
Nyx's bar in the Taurus bar is quite possibly the most famous landmark in the area, which is perhaps a dubious thing in the Red Light District.

How you got here is irrelevant, you're going in whether you want to or not.

As you do, the music is making you realize that the combination of partying demons and humans makes for a very strange atmosphere...as long as you're legal, there shouldn't be any problems.

Probably.


SCENARIO 3
13th hour. Although technically the 25th of each day, it is the time when this world seems to change, the entire city turning a shade of dark red, demons coming out, buildings shifting and dangers lurking at every corner.

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



...This can't be good.


SCENARIO 4
You've arrived into Hinoto-Ri! The snow is slowly starting to melt, but it's still rather cold. Maybe if you can find someone who knows exactly what is happening...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?)]]

Pit is not sure whether to respond to the spectacular crash he may or may not have caused or to respond to the mysterious voice in his head.

An "Eh?" will suffice for both.

[empyreanprominence]

Oh, are my thoughts coming out scrambled again...?

The creature turned to Pit, lowering its hands from its face - well, 'face', it only had eyes, everything else was blank - and tilted its head to the side, wide eyes blinking rapidly. It floated a bit closer to Pit, abandoning the ruined car without a single apparent care.

Hel...lo? Hello? Is, this, coming, through?

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

Pit blinks--and leans back--in surprise.

"Is that...you? The thing floating in front of me? That just ruined that sweet car?"

[empyreanprominence]

Happy! My thoughts are received! How rare! Well, not so rare now. Without glass, people can be spoken to!

The creature tucked its knees up close to its chest, arms wrapped around them, crouching in midair while radiating near physical happiness - scratch that, the thoughts sent to Pit were laced with feelings of happiness.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

"What...are you?"

[empyreanprominence]

I am Angel Number Four: Geis. An Experimental Organism of Artificiality.

The creature, Geis, slowly uncoiled itself, its feet lightly touching the floor, almost hesitantly, like it was expecting something painful. It settled down properly into a standing position once it deemed the road 'safe'.

Who are you? You have wings. You look like Angel Number Nine!

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

"Whoa, you're an angel, too? Nice to meet you! I'm Pit. I guess you could call me Angel Number Once since I'm captain of Palutena's guard."

pit stop bragging

[empyreanprominence]

Angel Number One: Pit...

Geis logged that away. It didn't look like Angel Number One, but this seemed like a different world entirely. It was quite... startling! Perhaps this was Angel Number One of this world...

It is a pleasure to meet! Who is Palutenas Guard?

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

"It's an army. Palutena's my patron goddess!"

[empyreanprominence]

An Army? Patron goddess?

Geis knew what those meant! An army to conquer, a goddess... goddess class demon? All gods and all goddesses were demons in the eyes of Him, and in Sodom, there were many political battles fought between those same goddesses and gods within the city. They normally included armies, although citizens and mercenaries got caught in the mix too.

Are you a fallen angel then? Only those fight in armies.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

"Uh, no. I'm just a regular angel."

[empyreanprominence]

Geis stared at Pit in obvious confusion, a quiet buzzing sound emitting from it before it 'spoke' again.

I don't understand, but okay. Can you fly?

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

He shakes his head.

"I'm the only angel in my world who can't fly. Except for Dark Pit. But he came from me, so, I guess he doesn't count."

[empyreanprominence]

Geis's confusion only increased even more.

Ah, but. I see... Dark Pit was bred from you, so such traits would be passed down. Many angels can't fly though. At least, the ones I have seen, myself included.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

"But weren't you just floating? I can't even do that, not without my persona or Lady Palutena! The best I can do is glide."

[empyreanprominence]

That wasn't flying! I was just psychically levitating myself. I can only do it two feet off the ground maximum.

Geis's eyes squinted in a way that signalled laughter, and it pressed its hand against its face as if covering a mouth that was not there.

I tried to fly, before, but I fell. It was frightening.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

Pit's wings spread a little, then fold back in. "Did you get hurt?"

[empyreanprominence]

No, thankfully! I am very durable!

Geis only got impaled through a pole, but as its body was basically energy, that was something it merely pulled away from. It did hurt though... curiously it did feel pain, but, well, it was used to such things.

Oh, hm. Sorry, I think I'm being rude. I remember... am I talking too much about myself? I'm sorry, I'm just very excited. I think I'm in a different world?

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

"Nah, it's no problem. I like to talk about myself, too! But, yeah, you're in a different world, and a lot of the people you'll meet here are from other worlds, too. I'm probably from a different world than you are."

[empyreanprominence]

Most likely. You look different to angels in general - urhm, more like a Cherub, really.

Those had been a different experiment all on their own. Geis tilted its head to the side, as if in deep thought. Other worlds, so... that was amazing. It didn't really scare it, because it had been aware of the multiverse - where did people think demons and angels came from? Certainly not the mortal realm.

Although this place seemed like a less anarchist version of Sodom, another mortal world?

What was your world like? I want to know. Please tell me.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

"My world is awesome! And...kind of confusing. I'm, um. From a video game."

[empyreanprominence]

Geis just stared blankly.

Video Game? I don't know that.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

...

"You don't know what a--"

Stop.

Resume: "Man, there's too many people in this city who don't know what video games are. They're, um. Things! Interactive things you do for fun! Like...games, except...they're video!"

[empyreanprominence]

Crickets chirped, and then realisation dawned on Geis.

Oh, I think I know what you mean now. Experiments!

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

Pit shakes his head. "They're only experiments in the development stage. Um...Checkers! Chess! Things like that, and... And sports! Soccer, football--aren't those the same thing?--and racing! Those sort of things, only you can play them on a computer!"
