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?)]]

"Right. Where are you from?"

[ ooc: can i just say i love this character concept and the execution and basically everything ]

"Inaba."

Her eyes are wide and innocent as she shares this startlingly unhelpful piece of information.

[ ooc: thank you so much! ]

"Where's that?"

Clearly it was the most helpful information in the history of information.

Yukiko pauses for a little bit at that, her brow scrunched up in deep thought.

"In...the countryside?"

Her expression as she says this is slightly sheepish.

...

"What's it like?"

He might as well attempt casual conversation ~~considering he's horrible at it and needs all the practice he can get~~.

Oh boy casual conversation!

"It's a really good place! There are lots of abandoned buildings, the kind that attract rats, and there's a river with lots of frogs and fish, and the farms grow delicious vegetables, so there'll always be enough food if I ever have owlets, and a nice lady lets me nest at the hot springs inn she runs!"

...there are some pretty significant parts of her outlook that are still basically avian in nature, apparently.

"That sounds nice." Weird owl girl. "I used to live in a palace in a volcano, but now I wander around with the Avatar."

Nice living. Maybe not for a bird, though...

"Ohhh!"

Her eyes just light up at that.

"My last nest was a palace! I go back there sometimes to relax."

"Is that also in Inaba?"

A shake of the head.

"No, it's in the TV World."

Slight pause.

"With all the monsters and stuff, it's not really a good place for owlets, though."

"TV world?"

It sounds like some spiritual metaphysical stuff his uncle would've come up with.

"It's the world on the other side."

A slight pause.

"...I don't know how to put it better than that."

"The other side of what?" he asks as if she hadn't said she can't phrase it better than that.

A very casual shrug.

"The TV, I suppose?"

Edited 2013-02-26 01:12 (UTC)

"And a TV is--?"

its hard being from a time that has limited technology

"It's a kind of box you can use to watch shows! It's not as big as a movie screen, so the picture is smaller, but you can fit one inside a house!"

"When you say show, do you mean like a play?"

A brief pause for thought before she nods decisively.

"I think so, yes."

"What's the point of watching people act in a small box? Wait--didn't you say picture? So all you're doing is watching a bunch of pictures in a box?"

Zuko is imagining this as a puppet show, with someone sitting in a box or hovering above it, showing the pictures they drew while narrating a story.

"No, no, the pictures move!"

"I figured that. It would be boring, staring at the same picture all the time. Whoever is in the box must have drawn a lot of pictures, right?"

ZUKO TOTALLY UNDERSTANDS 8D

Yukiko would be exasperated, but she doesn't quite get how TVs work herself. So she will just be the pinnacle of the bird kingdom that is the snowy owl and have a FABULOUS, ELEGANT IDEA.

"Let's go find Junes, I can show you!"

Of course this place has a Junes, doesn't every town have one?

"What's a Junes?"

YOU DARN MODERN PEOPLE AND YOUR MODERN TERMINOLOGY

Yukiko pauses to think.

"It's like...someone took an old palace, and decided that they should use the whole thing as a store!"

Other things Yukiko doesn't quite get: modern megamarts!

"That actually sounds kind of nice. Let's go!"

This won't end in any disappointment whatsoever.
