TEST DRIVE MEME - LATE APRIL/MAY 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: GOLDEN WEEK

Tied to the trees and parts of the houses are a bunch of fish-like kites. It turns Hinoto-Ri's battle=-ravage buildings into something a little more beautiful. By now, the air outside is comfortable to walk with a small shirt.

The booths in the Scorpio ward are busy trying to sell you their trinkets and crops. Will you get a mask? Will you buy and outfit? Will you just grab a little something to eat?

SCENARIO 2: Q'S CAR Q'S CAR THE SCENARIO FOR ALL AGES
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: CHERRY BLOSSOMS


By now all of the cheery trees in Hinoto-Ri are in full bloom. And what a beautiful sight it is! The smell is heavenly and couples and families hurry to the park to be able to secure a place under one of them to be able to enjoy a picnic together.

What a perfect time to arrive in the city!

SCENARIO 4: AN ENEMY APPROACHES! COMMAND?!
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 5: THIS IS JUST AN ARRIVAL PROMPT
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!

[[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?)]]

[ SHE IS, although she's currently buried nose-deep in a strategy book at a nearby stall. That is selling books.

Lucina would have to point her out because at the moment she is not paying any attention whatsoever to the world around her. ]

[tolight]

Oh! Yes, she's- [ Now, she knows that her mother is around somewhere. They did come here together, after all.

... But where did she go? ] She had been present a moment ago... [ Another glance around the stalls, and-- aha! ] Ah, there she is.

[ She should probably call for Robin. So she takes a few steps closer to the book stall, hoping her voice would be loud enough. ] Mother!

Lucina? [ She turns, glancing up from her book... ]

2/4

[formulator]

[ ....and sees that dress she's holding. ]

3/4

[formulator]

[formulator]

[ Yeah, she's immediately back in the same position she started in, nose-deep in her book. Sweating more now, though.

She can pretend she didn't see that, right? ]

[tolight]

I was perhaps wondering ---- [ ... Wait.

This wasn't how it was supposed to go. Mother, why are you doing this? ] Mother? I have something to ask you, if it's alright-! [ Still going to hold on to the lovely purple dress. ]

[formulator]

[ s l o w l y lowers that book, turning towards her daughter... ]

Oh, Lucina. [ Like she didn't already say that. ] Of course it's all right. [ ....For some reason, though, while she might be facing Lucina, her eyes are off to the side. Not looking at her. Or the dress. ]

[yay_danger]

[oh hay, it's your friendly neighborhood stalker, peeking out from behind a stall. Who's apparently taking note of Robin's purported taste in clothes. Hmmmm.]

[tolight]

[ See, she hasn't exactly asked what Robin wanted before. It was more suggestion after suggestion, because Lucina honestly thought (still thinks) those would look good on her mother, you know? ]

Are there any preferences you have when shopping for dresses? Though, I think father would like the blue stripes on this one...

[fightingofthespirit]

[Well this is possibly the most awkward mother-daughter conversation he will ever have the opportunity to witness. Klarth folds his arms and examines a point far off in the distance while keeping his ears attuned to the conversation.]

[formulator]

I, ah-

[ Yeah, she sees that dress in the corner of her eye again. Wince. ]

...I prefer clothing that's more.... utilitarian. [ That's a... that's a good way to say "not like that at all please," right? ]
