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?)]]

[... yeah, while the wind is blowing, he'll just angle himself where he's blocking most of it from hitting Shiki. Because keeping her warm is his highest priority at the moment. And walking to find a warmer place indoors is totally possible while being a wind shield!

He'll just be ducking into the first place he can find, here. Not even looking at the sign. There are lights on inside and the door is unlocked and best of all, it's got to be warm in there.]

[nyantan]

[Luckily for them, it was a cafe with a small working fireplace for ambiance, and Shiki quickly drags Neku in the direction of the seats nearest to the source of warmth. Settling into the plush seats, she scoots hers a little closer to Neku's so they could properly talk, not to mention wanting to sit close to him in general.]

Thank goodness, it was freezing out there!

[She felt kind of bad for intruding on the shop without intending to spend any money, but... it had been a while since money was even an issue. Not to mention how peculiar it was to have a working shop in the first place-- the last time they took a trip to a city, everything was working but there were no workers to be found.]

What in the world is going on, Neku?

[feelingepic]

[Thank freaking god it's a fireplace. Or, well, whatever deity is out there. Composer? He happily slumps down in one of the seats, leaning closer to the fire, still curling in on himself to try to generate warmth a little faster.]

This is ridiculous. We weren't ready for weather like this.

[Even when there had been that one week of really weird weather in the Facility...

Neku glances back at the girl behind the counter, suddenly feeling a little awkward. They have no money... ugh, he's crashed in places like this when he's needed downtime before, but he always at least got a coffee.]

... I don't know. I thought it might be F3 or something, but... our faciliberries are gone.... And our collars are black, too.

[nyantan]

This is really weird... too weird. Did you have that dream too, by any chance...?

[It seemed too real for her to have dreamed it by herself, much more real than any dream she had ever had in the past. And thinking back on it, it was about someone in a mask telling her she had been called to save a city... it didn't seem like something Val would do, but you could never be too sure about these things. Everything was just too peculiar, and didn't fit into things you'd expect from the station...

If Shiki didn't know any better, she'd think that they weren't in Facility at all right now.]

[feelingepic]

The one with the butterfly guy, right?

[He knows exactly what she's talking about. He glances up at her, watching, thinking. ... this is definitely too strange to be F3. He's got pretty limited knowledge, but it just doesn't feel right. Something is... off. With their collars off and their devices missing and being told that he's there to save the city, it just... doesn't add up.

Neku's starting to think that this isn't the Facility, himself.]

[nyantan]

Yeah, that one. He said we were chosen to save this city...?

[She frowns, running a finger up and down the length of the arm of the chair absentmindedly.]

I wouldn't put it past Val to try and trick us, but this all seems a little too elaborate for an experiment. I don't think she's ever taken our stuff away before either, has she...?

[feelingepic]

... yeah. I thought it was a little strange...

[Neku folds his arms, hands at his elbows while he rests them on his knees.]

We've never not had our stuff. We've always had the faciliberry with us. And this is... I dunno. [Glancing back over his shoulder at the girl behind the counter.] There... weren't shopkeepers in Manhattan... or the other places, either.

[nyantan]

That's what bothered me, too. Val wouldn't bother wasting copies to make NPCs so we could feel like we're actually buying things with money that doesn't exist.

[She props her chin on her hand, crossing her ankles daintily now that she wasn't shivering all over the place.]

...There's no way we could've gotten out, could we? It's not... possible, right? She's gotta be messing with us...

[feelingepic]

... yeah. I thought at first that that's all it was, her messing with us, but... the more I look around, and the more I think about it, it's like... we're somewhere else.

[He hands his head just a little, fringe falling over his eyes.]

... it's not possible to get out. It shouldn't be. So... why us?
