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?)]]

Ken Ichijouji | Digimon 02 | Scenario 3

[kindnessing]

[ !? WHAT. ]

What's that even doing here!?

[hope_springs_eternal]

Agumon... It's Agumon...!

Um, um! Don't fight him; we hafta get him to turn back! We just need to make him real tired, right? Then he'll turn back to normal...!

OMG I DIDN'T THINK I'D SNAG ANYBODY YOU'RE MY HERO

[kindnessing]

Agumon? [ ... well, it is! is this just some stray skullgreymon in this... world... WHERE ARE THEY ANYWAY?? and why is the sky red. there are so many things that just cannot be explained here. ]

[ ... also who is this kid? He looks... familiar? really familiar. really, really - ! oh, crap. ]

Wait... TK?

Hahaha I'm not playing this character in game but I couldn't resist =P

[hope_springs_eternal]

...Huh?

[The small boy glances up with a confused expression on his face.]

Um... Takeru. Takaishi Takeru. Some of my friends call me TK, mm-hmm. Do you know my big -- Ah!

[The SkullGreymon steps forward at this point with a roar; Takeru will stumble back a few paces in his haste.]

...I wish Patamon was here...!

i don't even play at this game yet. this is terrible. i'm terrible

[kindnessing]

[ - brother. He was about to say big brother. Ken takes a few steps back too. So he's stuck in a place that doesn't seem to be the Digital World, he has run into a much younger version of a friend of his who doesn't seem like he's grown into the bamf that he will be in a couple of years, neither of them have their partners, and that is an Ultimate level Digimon bearing down on them both. This is not going to be fun. At all. ]

You and me both, TK. Let's run, ok? [ Ken sticks out his hand to help TK up. No matter how young or unacquainted they are, Ken's not about to leave a friend behind. ]

[hope_springs_eternal]

[He will take the hand without hesitation, because at the age of 8, he was a little more trusting than he really ought to be.]

...OK.

[He will begin to walk away quickly while glancing back towards the monster.]

It shoots bombs out of its back - do you see the big orange thing inside all of the bones? I think that's a bomb.

It's really scary.

[kindnessing]

[ Thank god this Ken's the version you can trust, then. Ken allows him to lead. It's not as though he has any idea where to go. Little kid instincts were better than nothing. ]

[ He looks back when TK does, zeroing on the missiles. He remembers the Digimon's stats, but besides taking one apart for... er... obvious reasons, he doesn't recall ever seeing one in person. He looks down at TK. ]

Have you seen one of these guys before? Can it do anything else?

[hope_springs_eternal]

Just once. And only because Tai tried too hard to make Agumon digivolve when he wasn't supposed to.

It was a long time ago now, but I think... it's just kinda big and stomps around a lot.

[kindnessing]

[ That's not unheard of. Digivolution is filled with all sorts of nonsensical rules; this one certainly fit into the believable end of the scale. ]

I see... Let's hope we didn't catch its attention, then. [ ROAAAAR from behind. maybe they should go a bit faster...? ]

BEEP BEEP AU MOBILE that I can't app because character limit but hi

[digitale_daten]

[Someone in... well. Familiar clothing (sort of) steps forward. He doesn't seem too concerned about the Digimon.]

It looks like he was brought here, too.

i feel like we've done all of the yelling we can on plurk. i'm still not sure how this happened.

[kindnessing]

[ what


...................... Ken's eyes widen and fists clench on reflex. Everything about this... TK? Is this TK? This is. Not. Right. He's not sure what's going on here, but it is definitely not making him any calmer. ]

What?

The magic of anime idk.

[digitale_daten]

Don't look so surprised, Ken. You remind me of someone I used to know when you've got that expression.

[Before he was broken into data, anyway. It had been difficult, but... well. The other Chosen had to go if his plans were to move ahead.]

Though showing up without your friends is kind of a bad move, isn't it? Don't tell me you couldn't even get that new bearer of friendship to come along.

[He spits the crest's name, eyes narrowing. He has a special hatred for that kid, if only because of how much he reminds him of his brother in a way that hurts and makes him feel terrible.]

~* ANIME *~

[kindnessing]

[ ... deep breaths, Ken. You've faced a lot of hurt and confusion before, and it's made you stronger. Also sadder, wiser, and more cautious, but strength is definitely needed right now. He looks this weird TK in the eye as best as he can. No bullshit, cards on the table. ]

I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm pretty sure I'm hallucinating both you and your friend. Give me one good reason why I should care about anything you're saying right now, and maybe I'll stay long enough to satisfy your sense of spite.

[digitale_daten]

Because you're lost. You have no idea where you are, do you?

[Neither does he, but that's not relevant. He got some basic info from a local he... politely asked... for information... but he still doesn't know what's going on.]

... And this one isn't mine, actually.

[He wouldn't be surprised if it was the same one as... well. His old leader's. But he has no way of knowing right now. All he knows is that he isn't controlling this one.]

[kindnessing]

[ ... ok, he is lost. he's not about to tell this weird non-TK entity that, though. And he starts moving the heck away as soon as the second statement leaves his mouth. ]

Not convinced, sorry. Unless you want to actually tell me what's going on, I'm out.

[digitale_daten]

[Well, he's been around a few days and played innocent. He's at least got a little information.]

This place is called Hinoto-Ri. We've been dragged here to 'save this world'.

[He sneers at that last part a bit. Save it? Sure. Then he'll make it his.]

We've been given this power called 'Persona', which someone said is an aspect of yourself that you use to fight. The guy who dragged people here is named Philemon, but I haven't found him yet.

[kindnessing]

[ ... slows his roll. That's pretty hard to swallow, especially from someone who was insulting him before, but it's much more to go on than he had before. Philemon was something he could deal with later, but right now, there's one thing that could prove him right here and now. ]

"An aspect of yourself that you use to fight"...? I don't think that's possible. [ a bit of a white lie, seeing as how things have been going pretty haywire from the word go, but it had to be said. ]

[digitale_daten]

That's what I was told. I don't think so, either.

[... Even if he finds you annoying, he does realize that Ken isn't an idiot.]

[kindnessing]

[ ... restarting his roll. ] Well, thanks for that, I guess. Are you coming with me or not?

[digitale_daten]

[Just keep rolling, man.]

Might as well.

[N-not that he wants to. Or that he feels helpless here without his giant fort of awesome. But this place is weird as hell and he at least knows Ken. Sort of.]

[... Especially since SkullGreymon is starting to chase them and this outfit isn't really made for running. Maybe he should have rethought the cape.]

[kindnessing]

[ kiiinda wishing he'd have said no, but... well, whatever. It's not as though they're actually helping each other out. every man for himself, right? ken does not actually think this even though he really wishes he could. ]

[ wheeeeeeeeee running. this is the worst. where is wormmon and the rest of his friends who aren't bizarro tk? ]

Just so you know, I'm out of ideas. Open to reasonable suggestions.

[digitale_daten]

I don't have any of my stuff with me.

[No way to control it.]

I'm surprised your partner didn't come with you.

[Then again his had left him after a while, so he couldn't really talk. ... But he started running faster, because crap this Digimon was starting to gain on them.]
