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?)]]

"That's one way of putting it." Oh boy oh boy, her attention is on her drink now. As she chugs it down in one gulp, slamming the glass down on the table once she's done.

"Of course it's not simple, even if the end goal is something simple. Other things happen along the way, I've done this thing before."

Way too many times before, actually. But Deis won't tell Yu that.

[linefacingforever]

Yu's eyes widened as she basically... just dumped the whole thing down her throat. Holy... how? Why? What? After a moment, his surprised look toned back down to his usual lineface, shaking his head.

"So have a number of others here," he replied. "Or, almost have, as some cases may be."

Like his.

[guidesdragons]

There are some bonuses to being almost immortal, Yu. A high alcohol tolerance built over centuries is just one of them.

"Hmm, you wouldn't happen to know of any of those cases then?" she asks, seeming to be getting right to the point of the matter.

[linefacingforever]

...welp.

Yu shrugged slightly. "Me," he replied. "I've been told I'll survive a death goddess in my future."

[guidesdragons]

Well now, that has her attention! Deis leans toward Yu, her expression somehow even more serious than before.

"Really?" She does not sound convinced! "You don't look the type. What can you do?"

Show her some Protag Swag Yu.

"Personae exist on my world as well," Yu explained. "My friends and I fought over the year to find out why strange things were happening in our town. Eventually, it ended where the true culprit was one we wouldn't have guessed."

He's still not even sure how they figured out a simple gas station attendant was actually a goddess. One of these days he would actually ask, but for now...

"It took everything we had, but we won in the end.

[guidesdragons]

"That's good to know. Losing isn't all that fun..." She pauses for a moment after saying that, before adding. "Or at least winning but losing something after that isn't that great."

Now she smiles as she has one more thing to ask, and it's super important.

"Just what is a 'persona' anyway? If it's some kind of magic I've never heard of it before."

[linefacingforever]

"A Persona is the mask of ones soul given form in order to face a conflict beyond themselves," Yu replied, sounding like he had said this a number of times before. "What it looks like varies from person to person, though it usually takes the form or something notable from the person's world."

[guidesdragons]

She listens to Yu as he explains, drumming her nails on the table top and looking as if she's listening to him. But when he finishes?

"Oh... It sounds much to silly," she says with a dismissive wave of a hand and a laugh. "Something new fangled and the easy way out it sounds like, I think I'll just do what I know works instead."

A pause.

"Anyway thanks, boy. You can get to work now."

[linefacingforever]

Deis had the pleasure of seeing Yu's typical lineface expression fall in exasperation. Really? Seriously? That was it? Ask for explanations, dismiss it, and then just... wave him on his way. Still, he wasn't the type to say that much, and he gave a nod, gathering up his dufflebag and heading into the back.

If she sticks around, she'll get to see him again. Hope you don't mind crossdressing acts, Deis.

[guidesdragons]

It's not like she has anywhere else to go, it's too cold outside for her tastes and there's plenty of good looking fellows in the bar to keep her.

And even though she's never seen a cross-dresser before strangely Capcom never did that JRPG plot line she totally will enjoy seeing Yu like that. In fact he might hear her laughing like a mad woman during his act.

Subtle thy name is not Deis.
