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?)]]

Zuko | Avatar: The Last Airbender | Scenario 1

[honordyne]

He's sitting there.

In the car.

That's parked on the side of the street.

Just kind of staring.

Because those are a lot of buttons and levers and he has no idea which one to press. It's not like this vehicle is...completely...stra--no it's pretty darn strange, even if he thinks that MAYBE it runs on the same...whatever as the Fire Nation's tanks? It's just...how? Is there some kind of compartment he's not seeing?

After thoroughly searching the interior of the car, he hops out and prods at the exterior, trying to find that missing compartment.

Someone stop him before he sets the car on fire.

*Boy, that looks intimidating Suddenly, you hear a voice down and behind you.*

Looks like you've run into a troublesome one. I wonder if you can handle it?

henry | fire emblem: awakening | 3

[ex_hexcellent786]

[New city? No problem. Dark red sky? No biggie. Demons roaming around? Jackpot. Of course, he should probably find out if there's anyone familiar (namely: Chrom's army) around but...there's killing to be done! And he's right at home on the battlefield, cracking a smile at the bloodshed, and flinging a Flux spell at an unfortunate demon.]

Nya ha ha! Line 'em up!

[Flinging around dark magic, hexes, and curses...Henry doesn't quite care who or what he hits in the least right now. As long as it's not a comrade. (Still...he does remember that the tactician didn't want any innocent civilians caught in the crossfire...) He's having a bit too much fun...care to stop him? Or join him, even?]

Geis | Original Character | Scenario 1

[empyreanprominence]

((OOC: Yeah yeah no icons as per the norm I need to stop making this a habit))

There was a strange creature standing- well, floating in the middle of a street. It seemed to be made purely of shimmering white and blue energy, wrapped into the form of something humanoid, with long 'horn' like appendages sprouting from its head, and fairy like wings from its back. What was this weird being doing?

Levitating a car clear off the road, and peering up at its exposed underside with wide, dark blue eyes. It seemed utterly unaware of the blockage they were causing, people shouting and honking out of their vehicles as they were forced to circle around the floating creature and car. The energy being just seemed fixated on the levitating car, psychically rotating it this way and that as it inspected the vehicle.

A... vehicle. Yes. That was it. Haruto had showed it one before. They were loud though. But this was the first time it was allowed to drive one! Granted, it only psychically pushed the car for a few streets before it got tired. Now it was inspecting it up close! First time it had that opportunity...

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

Standing on the sidewalk is a curious humanoid creature with birdlike wings on his back and a wing made of arms on his left.

Oh wait, that's just Pit waving his arm!

"Hey! You might want to put the car down!"

Miyabi "Kozy" Hanakouji; Persona 2 AU

[kozyingaround]

Scenario 3

[It was already odd enough to be called out of her city by Philemon and into this one, and the extremely creepy atmosphere certainly didn't help. But to be immediately thrust into battle with a large monster she had never seen before without any of her friends around to help her... gulp.

Miyabi summons Persephone forth, mouth set in a firm line. Her Persona felt a little different than she was back home for some odd reason... but she'd make do.]

Magnara!

[Hoping that the Earth attack would buy her some time, she tests out one of her new skills, Mass CommLink, eyebrows scrunched a little with worry. Miyabi was by no means skilled enough yet to try to take on this thing by herself...]

Hello, is anyone out there? I could use some help!

[Welp. Let's get this party started.]

Scenario 4

[As disconcerting as the situation was, there was no use getting too worried just yet. First she needed to figure out where she was, and what Philemon wanted of her-- after all, she had her own city to help save, though she still wasn't quite sure if they were gonna let her stick around to fight in the first place when she was dragged here.

Clasping her hands together in front of her, she makes her way down the street, starting to shiver a little as the winter cold seeped into her bones. Miyabi ought to find someplace warm to duck into, figure out her bearings and try to contact her friends... certainly they'd be here as well, right?

...And what was with all those glowy strings coming off of some peoples heads?]

Ryotaro Dojima | Persona 4 AU | Scenario 3

[papadojima]

Well.

Dojima had a feeling his tonfa was not gonna be enough for that.

[empyreanprominence]

The creature flinched, its form flickering slightly, and with a groan... the car dropped, landing heavily onto the road with a very loud crashing noise. The creature pressed its hands against its face in a mockery of surprise, watching as a wheel bounced down the road, having been smashed free from the fall.

...oh. I didn't mean to do that.

If Pit allowed it, an artificial voice would whisper that softly in his mind, very similar to a Vocaloid in sound. Sadly, this creature had no mouth to speak with, so this form of telepathy was its only form of communication. If Pit was protected against such things, however, all he would hear would be a noise better described as... well...

"adgaa8gaaY!ysssjww837iej"

Alien.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

Pit is not sure whether to respond to the spectacular crash he may or may not have caused or to respond to the mysterious voice in his head.

An "Eh?" will suffice for both.

Maribelle | Fire Emblem: Awakening | Scenario 2

[classier]

Oh! Oh, how... horrifically fascinating. So this is how the unwashed masses entertain themselves. I hadn't the least idea what depravity you all reveled in during your spare time; no wonder this city never seems to get anything done.

[She turns and taps the person to her left with her parasol.]

I say, what do you even call that? ...Apart from 'wretched', of course.

[Maribelle appears to be indicating something that seems to be a male demon stripper.]

It's all... bulgy and... bare.

Troglodytes.

[gegege_no_ge]

*There's a voice somewhere around the area of your hip, Dojima.*

It really would be better if you just ran, you know.

Bleu or Deis | Breath of Fire | Scenario 2

[guidesdragons]

Deis, honestly couldn't care how she got into Nyx's bar. She didn't care that she'd never heard that kind of music before and she most definitely didn't care about the weird clientele either.

Well that last one was mainly because she's half snake, honestly you stop judging when everything from the waist down is snakey town. That and living for thousands and thousands of years.

That's when people like Deis start caring about the important things. Like who is going to get her another drink!

"Hey cutie," she shouts over the music, grabbing some random, hopefully male, passer-by. "Want to buy a goddess a drink~?"

[empyreanprominence]

Oh, are my thoughts coming out scrambled again...?

The creature turned to Pit, lowering its hands from its face - well, 'face', it only had eyes, everything else was blank - and tilted its head to the side, wide eyes blinking rapidly. It floated a bit closer to Pit, abandoning the ruined car without a single apparent care.

Hel...lo? Hello? Is, this, coming, through?

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

Pit blinks--and leans back--in surprise.

"Is that...you? The thing floating in front of me? That just ruined that sweet car?"

[classier]

Henry, please.

[There is a distinctive sniff of displeasure from behind the Dark Mage, accompanied by the clip-clop of hooves.]

Do try to behave with some composure. As representatives of the royal house of Ylisse, we must convey a certain sense of... poise and dignity to the lower classes here.

[empyreanprominence]

Happy! My thoughts are received! How rare! Well, not so rare now. Without glass, people can be spoken to!

The creature tucked its knees up close to its chest, arms wrapped around them, crouching in midair while radiating near physical happiness - scratch that, the thoughts sent to Pit were laced with feelings of happiness.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

"What...are you?"

Xellos | Slayers | Scenarios 2 and 3

[trollsdragons]

So coming away from Nyx's Bar is a fellow that seems a touch out of place - a rather priestly-looking fellow, who's stumbling as he walks. However, he seems to be pained rather than drunk, as one who would normally expect of someone in his area. He pauses to lean on a building and let out a weak laugh before mumbling to himself - "I suppose that wasn't my brightest idea, ahaha..." He's also rather annoyed. He's flying blind in this place, which is something he really doesn't like. Wandering askew of a swath of positive emotions? That's easy enough to recover from. Sickening and painful, yes, but nowhere near as bad as prior experiences. Learning about what seems to be an entirely new world from the ground up, however? Not impossible, but it will take time.

--

The 13th Hour does make Xellos feel a bit more at home - there's a permeating feeling of dread and anxiety in the city that's all too pleasing to him, and there's lots of nasty monsters lurking about. Of course, they're not the ones he's familar with, so he has little guilt over dealing with them. Right now, there's a big saurian skeleton monster smashing around rather angrily. Xellos is casually blinking away and reappearing elsewhere before the beast's attacks can even get close, and smirking all the while.

"My, my, you're an angry fellow~! I'd tell you there's no use if your strikes don't hit their mark, but..." There's a loud roar from the creature as it swings again, and once more Xellos disappears and reappears elsewhere. "...I'm afraid that would fall on deaf ears!"

Cadance | My Little Pony | I'm going to hell~

[bestfoalsitter]

[It's really cold in this place...and strange. Cadance had no clue where she was exactly except for a strange dream involving a butterfly man. And now she was lost and confused.

What exactly is a persona and what happened to her body?! Instead of fur and a tail, she now has two things that doesn't look right and pinkish skin. And everyone is staring at her.

Well of course they would be, not every day you see a pretty naked woman on the streets.]

[pasfaitequedeplastique]

"I call it 'not that different from home'," said the girl in a dark purple hood she had tapped. On Papathea, of course, only dolls, female ones, would be dancing on the stage. Maybe these strange creatures were the dolls of this world?

[honordyne]

I don't want to know what it's called.

[ He's not even looking at it.

Or anything.

If he keeps his eyes closed maybe wandering in here by accident and not being able to leave wouldn't have been a thing that happened!!! ]

KEYWORDS!

[not_that_scary]

[And that would be the sound of Haseo walking straight into a lamp post with a rather loud DING! Strange body or not, that was likely not pleasant as he falls onto his back, clutching his head in pain.]

OH MY GOD I LOVE YOU FOR PLAYING HIM

[halberdaxe]

[Noda could take care of this...freaky...skeleton... thing.

He turns to look at the short emo-haired kid with an outdated outfit.]

I do not require any help!

[But he clearly looks like he needs help though.]

Sarah | Gods Eater Burst | Scenario 4

[dontrunawayfromliving]

Sarah's not entirely sure what to make of this place - as far as she can tell, there's nobody outside the arcology here, which suggests that either they have enough resources that an Outer Ghetto wasn't needed, or there were even less people around than she was used to.

For now, she's just going to shoulder her blade - all seven feet of it - and wander around, trying to figure out what is going on.

Lucina | Fire Emblem: Awakening | Scenario 1

[formyfather]

Lucina considers herself adaptable, but when she is handed a key and is told to 'go for a test drive,' she isn't quite sure how to react. Sitting in front of her is what looks like an oddly-shaped, metal box. It appears to be on wheels, though the wheels are not made out of wood - metal, and something black and springy to the touch, when she finally moves close enough to examine them. Clear windows reveal a surprisingly plush-looking interior. It must be some kind of wagon, although Lucina also sees no obvious means to attach it to a horse. It also seems far too heavy for the average horse to pull. Really, a cart made entirely of metal? Even a wyvern would probably strain itself dangerously.

However, a key is something Lucina does understand. Her exploration of the cart's exterior nets her the keyhole. She inserts the key, and a door on the side unlocks. She leaves the door open as she tentatively sits in the closest seat. The front of the wagon is covered with what appears to be strange measuring devices, and directly in front of her is a wheel. It somehow reminds her of the steering wheel of a ship. She gently tries to turn it but it does not budge.

Then, to the right, she notices the second keyhole. The first keyhole had unlocked the door, so maybe the second unlocks the wheel? Deciding she has nothing to lose, she inserts the key again and turns.

The wagon beneath her lets out a roar like an onrushing dragon. In an instant Lucina is out of her seat and on the ground several feet away. Her body tenses and she points her sword at the creature, which is still rumbling ominously, the door wide open.

What has she accidentally awoken?
