TEST DRIVE MEME - LATE MAY - JUNE EDITION

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

(Note that these are prompts to give you ideas. Feel free to do something else completely like go shop or be in the apartments!)

SCENARIO 1: Q'S CAR IS NOW NUMBER 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.

'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 2: A MIDSUMMER'S DAY

The green of the forest beckons you inside. But what will you find in a place that has an acknowledged demon population?

And who can imagine lurks at night...your life may be on the line.

SCENARIO 3: THE SONG WILL BE PLAYING IN YOUR HEAD
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...

...but it is pretty cute.

SCENARIO 4: 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 confirm 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?)]]

So clearly, the first thing a hustler would do when presented with a brand-new world that doesn't know his reputation is to fleece it blind.

That part went easily enough, judging by the large sack thrown over the cowboy's shoulder. However, given the slightly frantic body language he has, and the fact that he just appeared from a circle of spinning cards that materialized from nowhere in the middle of a Taurus district street...well. He probably should've spent more time learning the area and where the best, and most discreet places to teleport to were. Alas, he was impatient.

At least he had the advantage of distance, he hoped.

Getting the attention of the random person, he scoots up close to them, and speaks low. "How far away is the Fortuna's casino?" Even lower than his voice is the brim of his hat - he's not exactly keen on showing his eyes just yet.

"...That depends very much on what you intend to do there, I think."

The dourly proper young woman he has addressed, in contrast, does not appear as if she's ever had the term 'frantic' applied to her in her life. She arches an eyebrow at the disreputable appearance of the man standing before her.
nofightingdestiny: (Problem?)

The man's face shifts into his best charming-rogue smirk. "I don't intend to do anything there," he answers. After all, he's already been there, but that remains unsaid. "I'm just a fella that's a little bit turned-around."

Susan's expression manages to become even more incredulous despite not changing perceptibly in any way.

"Naturally. I, too, enjoy the cardiovascular benefits of strolling about nights with a burlap sack. Pity I left mine at home today or we might've enjoyed a certain camaraderie. Partners in crime, you might say."

A certain word in that last sentence is emphasized.

"Although I suppose no thief would be stupid enough to ask directions on the way."

Not that she hadn't met any extraordinarily stupid thieves before.

"...Down the street, right turn, left at the first bench, and ten minutes' walk at a brisk pace. And I rather suspect you'll be brisk."
nofightingdestiny: (All or nothin'.)

Fate has that effect on people, really.

He does chuckle at her comments, and straightens up a bit. "Now, now, it ain't nice to go makin' assumptions, Miss. Theft implies I took things without the knowledge of their owner. All I have on me was given to me with full consent."

He does pull on the brim of his hat once she does give directions in thanks, with the same smirk as before. "And I'm certainly no thief, ma'am. I do thank you."

And with that, he's off in the directions she gave - and as she thought, he's quick about it. Of course, there's the chance that she's steering him wrong, but it's a chance worth taking.

Susan generally refrains from lying save for when it suited her fancy, and unfortunately, she didn't know the directions to the police station from where they were standing. Fate will find that he indeed ends up outside the Fortuna casino.

At this point in his life, he's probably more or less immune to disapproving stares, but he may find that Susan's has more of a lasting effect than most others. She watches him go with an expression that may be vaguely reminiscent of his least favorite schoolteacher as a child.
