Test Drive Meme - April Edition!

[stringmods]

Ahh Hinoto-Ri. City of lights, questionable Wards, the 13th Hour and Personas. A city that requires your aid in saving it.

SCENARIO 1: FIREFLIES

Look at all these bugs moving around the forest! The air is still cool but springtime has finally arrived. What a nice, present surprise for everyone involved. But what are these bugs doing? Moving around you? Sticking in your hair?

SCENARIO 2: Q'S CAR REMAINS THE BEST SCENARIO
Well it's been a hell of a ride so far, but you've now found yourself somehow testing one of Q's vehicles.

'Oh, and 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 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 is rather confusing. But you've learned not to think that something you see is exactly as it might be. It could be far more dangerous and deadly than it lets on...

SCENARIO 4
You've arrived into Hinoto-Ri! And wow, the weather is warming right now. Like an early hot breeze in spring. At least it makes you feel more at ease...unless you came here prepared for terrible weather. Sorry! Maybe if you can find someone who knows exactly what is happening, you'll be able to comfirm that it wasn't just a dream? Remember the man who said you were here as a special guest! This the city you're supposed to save, so let's find out more about it!

SCENARIO 5
Well, April 1st is the start of the new school year in Hinoto-Ri! That's right, come save the city, and somehow you're still stuck in school! DAMN YOU, EDUCATION!

And the belling is ringing and...it's music class, awww....

[[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?)]]

[Oh yes, there is nothing short of absolute recognition etched on Kairi's expression as she stares at his collar and back up to his face, body beginning to visibly shake as he calls out her name. Her breath catches slightly and she sways to the side, a tidal wave of emotions catching her and pulling her down as the implications of what exactly this all meant began to stack up her in mind. Her face cycles through a million different emotions as she registers the fact that yes, this was really the Sora she knew standing in front of her, and that he was finally here and finally safe. One hand coming up to cover her mouth in disbelief, the other reaches out towards him, almost as if she was afraid he'd disappear if she initiated contact herself, so much as she wanted to just throw her arms around him and hug him and never let go.]

Sora.

[Tears are very visibly pricking at the corners of her eyes, and who could really blame her? He was here and she was happy, but there was also an underlining sense of guilt and sorrow; she knew about her demise in Facility, Naminé had told her everything. To think she had put them through so much pain... but it was okay. Everything would be okay, because now he was here.]

[skyofreverie]

[In that moment nothing else mattered. She was alive and reaching out for him. Any question he might have had disappears into the universe when he spies those tears forming. His vision of her blurs from his own watery eyes and Sora tries to blink them away to ensure that she doesn't go away. It's selfish to be glad to have her within reach, especially if this place really is the Facility with all its tortures but he is. He'd lost so many after her. Most of their family had been gone and the house no longer felt much like a home. It was a poor reminder of everyone who'd been terminated.

But here she was, standing in front of him with her memories intact and there's a happy ache in his chest as if part of him has been returned. So there's no hesitation to gather her up close and hold her tight.]

You're back.

[Softly as if any louder will break the moment.]

[princessofheart]

[Kairi holds on to him as if her live depended on it, as if he might disappear if she budged even an inch of her hold. Feeling the warmth of his body under her touch and hearing the soft murmur of his voice was like the world was clicking back into place, and she lets out a deep breath she hadn't known she'd been holding, shoulders sagging under the lifted weight she hadn't known she'd still been carrying. Every night she and Naminé had prayed for the safety of their friends and loved ones still on the station, to whom they were praying to they still had no idea, and slowly but surely others from Facility were trickling into Hinoto-Ri. Someone was listening.]

No, no...

[She shakes her head a little, tucking herself into the crook of his shoulder. This was the best part Sora, you didn't even understand. There was no more Val, no more Consortium, no more fear of their future...]

This isn't Facility. We, we've escaped...

[Kairi fumbles for her words, suddenly at a loss of how to explain to him the gravity of the situation, that even though they were stuck in the Darkness for so long, the Light had finally shown through and led them to a real home...]

[skyofreverie]

[His sanity depends on her being really real. All this time Sora had never stopped hoping that she'd come back remembering everything, even though life in the Facility was terrible and shouldn't be wished on anyone. At first he'd never wanted her there but when she showed up, well, Sora didn't want her to leave. So to have her here in his arms - breathing and holding him back just as tightly was a miracle. Not many came back and even fewer had the same memories.

And then she's telling him they escaped and there's no choice to believe it from someone who knows the tricks Val can pull. He doesn't know how, or when or anything after the one week with the visitors. Did he get terminated again? Go comatose? Was this the planet they'd planned to land on?

All questions he can't manage to get out because he's laughing. It's a laugh full of disbelief, sheer shock and happiness. Sora picks her up and spins them around a couple of times while fireflies scatter before setting her back on her feet.]

We escaped!
