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?)]]

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

[hooting_laugh]

A brief pause for thought before she nods decisively.

"I think so, yes."

[honorlao]

"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.

[hooting_laugh]

"No, no, the pictures move!"

[honorlao]

"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

[hooting_laugh]

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?

[honordyne]

"What's a Junes?"

YOU DARN MODERN PEOPLE AND YOUR MODERN TERMINOLOGY

[hooting_laugh]

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!

[honordyne]

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

This won't end in any disappointment whatsoever.

[hooting_laugh]

A FLAWLESS PLAN, SURE TO BE A RESOUNDING SUCCESS

It's a good thing the actual Junes Yukiko is familiar with is actually in the city, so that when you arrive she can lead you directly to the electronics department!

Not that she'll...notice it's exactly the same, since that's basically how she thinks of Junes anyway.

[honordyne]

This isn't quite his idea of a palace (he is sort of an authority on palaces after all), but that doesn't mean it's lost his attention! Everything has his attention, even the tiniest thing.

Because seriously what is all of this what?!?

[hooting_laugh]

Junes!

It's amazing what people can get used to, huh?

Anyway, yes, this section has display televisions running the normal sort of commercials on repeat.

Yukiko will just sort of strike a presenter's pose next to one so you can see what she meant by 'moving pictures'.

[honorlao]

Zuko reaches out to touch the truth one of the television sets.

"It's like there's a whole world in there."

lolirony

[hooting_laugh]

"I said there was, didn't I? It's where I came from, after all."

[honorlao]

"So these aren't pictures we're looking at, are they? These are actual people living inside this box, and somehow we can get a closer view of them! It's almost like we're spying on them..."

[hooting_laugh]

"May...be?"

It's not like Yukiko ever needed to know how this worked...

Anyway.

"But my world's on the other side of the screen. The pictures don't have anything to do with it."

A pause.

"It wouldn't be safe to show you around, though, since I don't know where we'd end up and it'd be bothersome keeping the Shadows from eating you with just me."

[honorlao]

"What do you mean the pictures don't have anything to do with it? You're saying what I'm seeing in this box isn't what's actually in the box?"

[hooting_laugh]

A nod.

"We broke open an old one of these one time, and inside it was just a bunch of metal and wires. So the pictures are just something that appears on the glass, I'm pretty sure."

[honordyne]

wat

"You mean there actually aren't people inside the box?"

[hooting_laugh]

She gives you a helpless - but still elegant! - sort of shrug.

"None of us could figure it out either."

She steps to the side a little bit and points at the TV's power cord.

"We think the pictures sort of crawl in from this cable, because they don't show up if you don't plug it in."

[honorlao]

Zuko steps over to the chord and gives it a scrutinizing look.

"How can people fit in there?"

[hooting_laugh]

"Maybe they turn into liquid?"

Hey it makes sense to her okay.

[honordyne]

Zuko thinks about this for a moment.

His conclusion is: "Waterbenders."
