TEST RUN MEME!

[wonderful_mods]

Welcome to the Test Run meme! Post characters you intend to play with their name and canon in the subject line. If you like, you can also include whether they're Players, Reapers or RG. Participation in the meme may be used as the sample post in the application. Please assume the game is taking place in whatever type of scenery you like. We encourage you to make up your own scenarios in this meme, but here are some generic ideas:

Players
1. You've discovered you can't fight the Noise on your own! Get out there and forge a pact with someone! After that, kick some ass!

2. You're looking for clues for the mission. Fire up your player pin and scan some RGer's minds, or see if you can find a Reaper that's willing to spill the beans.

3. Your timer is gone - you did it! Celebrate your victory and another day of survival. Why not visit some of the game-sanctioned stores and reward yourself? You're visible in any building with the Reaper Decal!

Reapers
1. Today you're on duty. Set up walls throughout the city and challenge Players to meet your conditions, or just sic your Noise and be done with them!

2. Your usual duty as a Reaper has gotten a little stale. Why not liven things up with some Reaper Sports? Challenge your fellow Players and Reapers to hide and seek, tag, or even a player hunt - for a wager of course! Or maybe the bet is over, and the winner is ready to collect?

3. No one said a Reaper has to be all work and no play. The Players completed the mission for today, so now you're free to live it up! As long as you don't go outside the permanent barriers, of course. If you're hanging out with RGers, you may have to make an excuse or two.

RGers

1. Play tourist. Since this is a test meme, the sights you see are whatever you like! Go out and have fun with your friends. Alternatively, assume that the world you're transported to is terribly dangerous, and try to survive!

2. You're wondering why you were given this Ouija board when you arrived. Try it out - maybe you'll find some answers?

3. You can't seem to shake this negative attitude, and it's only getting worse. You've been possessed by Noise! Try not to go crazy! (Or don't - isn't that part of the fun?)

Comments

Xion | Kingdom Hearts | Reaper and I have no clue what I am doing

[poppetstrings]

[Standing in front of a wall is one (1) Xion. None of you are going to get passed this wall unless you do what she wants.

ANY TAKERS?]

1/2

[battlestations]

[DOOF

This dumbass just hit your wall. His MISSION MODE has always been set to a high gear, even before becoming a Player. But strangely, he didn't even notice the Reaper nearby.

And there's a good reason for that.]

[battlestations]

[But now he sees it.]

Uhhhh.

[... Isn't she a little, you know, SHORT for a Reaper? He was under the impression that his enemies here were all adults. Like usual.]

it's okay i don't know what i'm doing either

[gogoghostpowers]

Wow. You sure are getting a lot of people slamming into thin air around here, aren't you?

[leggierissimo]

[None here, Xion. Though there is another Reaper dropping down from a rooftop to land practically right next to you!]

Busy day?

[memorizethefire]

[Axel steps up to her, crossing his arms] Okay, what's the deal?

[suicidoll]

(YEAH TOTALLY CHARGING RIGHT IN THERE except not. Casually walking down this very street is Kreutzer, drinking a milkshake as if there was nothing to worry about. Those reaper wings of hers flapped lightly when she notices Xion.)

Had any interesting run-ins today?

Numbuh One | Codename: Kids Next Door | Player

[battlestations]

[ Nigel's entry fee was his youth. Of course, it only takes standing up to realize this. He's a hell of a lot taller. ]

... Uggh, not again! You've got to be kidding me!

[carsharkkonishi]

[And she's about to run past him. A much younger blonde, not bald, and currently running for her life from some Noise. She has no clue he can see her, thinking that maybe (like everyone else she's tried to talk to) can't see her.]

Yoshiya "Joshua" Kiryuu | The World Ends With You | Reaper, of course~

[leggierissimo]

[No wall-watching for this Reaper. While it's a lot easier in the long run, it's a lot more fun to be out and about, and that's exactly what Joshua is doing.

Run into him or don't~ It's your decision.]

[carsharkkonishi]

[Rhyme's fee was memories of the game, so running into his is more than odd. She was running from Noise, of course, but now she has a bigger problem.]

I--I-I'm sorry!

Bitou "Rhyme" Raimu | The World Ends With You | Player

[carsharkkonishi]

Hey....why can't anyone see me? Hello?

[It looks like she's frantically trying to get the attention of someone who can't see her. She is waving her arms at them.]

Can someone explain what is going on here? Shouldn't I be in a hospital? I just got shot....

[poppetstrings]

[... Don't players normally know that the RG'ers can't see them?

So why is this one trying to get their attention?]

Hey, what are you doing?

Gakupo Kamui | Vocaloid | Player [a clueless one at that!]

[thepurpleway]

[So he's read the handbook or whatever. And he felt prepared before...confronting some weirdo creature! Now he's not so sure he can do this!

SOMEONE HELP?!]

[shinbunshinobi]

[Have someone running away from another weirdo creature and jumping over a railing to escape it. Temporarily.]

Hey! Mr. Samurai! I hope you have a sword on you!

Sasuke Sarutobi | Sengoku Basara: Gakuen Basara | Player

[shinbunshinobi]

[Sasuke doesn't understand why no one's paying him any attention.]

"Ninja"'s just a nickname, you know! No need to ignore me like this.

[And now there's a creature looking at him like he's lunch.]

... On second thought, you can go back to ignoring me!

[Run!]

[carsharkkonishi]

[Aaaand he bumps into her. Upon seeing the creature, she grabs his hand, pulling him along.]

Let's go!

Kido | Kagerou Days (manga) | Reaper

[ipodcoded]

[Observing Players to do their missions. Confront her, defeat the noises, and you'll have a reward.

Who dares to take the challenge? Unless you're a Reaper, she'll have a chat.]

Danny Fenton/Phantom // Danny Phantom // RGer (but can interact with players/reapers!)

[gogoghostpowers]

[A Ouija board? Ha ha, very funny. How did he even get one in the first place?

Ah, whatever. He's got no clue where he is, he doesn't have anything better to do, and in a strange sort of way he really does find the board hilarious. So why not?]

have another RGer

[roadroller]

[the Ouija board he has is the same as the one she got. Curious, Rin walks over.]

Hi! Mind if I sit here? ♪

Grovyle || Pokemon Mystery Dungeon || Player

[juuichi_yosamu]

[Death was hardly surprising. Likewise, the rules of this game seemed simple enough. He didn't trust easily, but he knew the need for partnership in dire situations... anyone he met wouldn't be his partner, the one he remembered, but... they would do.

So for now, he sits perched upon the safest place he can be, eyes scanning for other players. A pact was necessary.]

[poppetstrings]

[Of course, he doesn't go unnoticed by this reaper (This thread would go nowhere if he did!) and her wings flex a little.]

You should be in a shop, if you want to be safe.

Rin Kagamine | Vocaloid | RG

[roadroller]

[Having run out of ways to wander around lost and bored, Rin's gone to browse in a clothing store at the mall. Luckily, it's a mall with the Reaper Decal on it, which means she can see Players for the time being! And being a friendly type, she'll at least take the time to smile at anyone who passes near. So come and be amazed at her amazing ability to see dead people. She will have no idea what you're talking about.

Oh, and if you try to scan her, you'll get this:]

(0101010001101000011010010111001100100000010010010101001100100000011000010010000001110000011100100110000101101110011010110010110000100000011100100110100101100111011010000111010000111111001000000100100101110100001001110111001100100000011011100110111101110100001000000111011101101000011001010111001001100101001000000100100100100000011101110110000101110011001011000010000001100010011101010111010000100000010010010010000001101010011101010111001101110100001000000110100001100001011101100110010100100000011101000110111100100000011101110110000101101001011101000010000001100110011011110111001000100000011011010111100100100000011001000111010101101101011000100010000001100010011100100110111101110100011010000110010101110010011100110010000001110100011011110010000001100011011011110110110101100101001000000110000101101110011001000010000001100111011001010111010000100000011011010110010100101110001000000100111101100110001000000110001101101111011101010111001001110011011001010010110000100000011101110110100001100101011011100010000001110100011010000110000101110100001000000110100001100001011100000111000001100101011011100111001100101100001000000100100100100111011011000110110000100000011010110110100101101100011011000010000001110100011010000110010101101101001000000110100101101110001000000111010001110111011011110010000001110011011001010110001101101111011011100110010001110011001000000110011001101100011000010111010000101110)

[So, you know. Good luck reading her if you're not a robot yourself.]

[phantom_envoy]

What is with this place?

[A girl in a white costume is examining something that came out of the catalogues of Lapin Angelique.]

I was expecting 21st century fashions to be archaic, not disturbing.

((Let's go RG with being able to see ghosts.))

Sora | Kingdom Hearts | Player (POST-KH3D TIMELINE; WARNING FOR SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT)

[homnomhearts]

[Is there anything sadder than an islander in a big city? Sora's gotten pretty good at finding his way around different worlds, but he's a little out of his depth here, and it shows. He's pretty sure the mission is this way--but he doesn't seem to realize he's taking the long way 'round.

He's also talking out loud to himself as he goes--no one can hear him, anyway, right?]

Okay, so, after this I just go... left? Left. Right. And there's two streets that go left, so... hmm. Eeny, meeny, miny--

[Text Message]

[darkest_fears]

[Your phone is rattling off whatever ridiculous ring you picked for your best friend's incoming texts, Sora. Hopefully you're not too distracted to notice.]

How's it going?

Riku | Kingdom Hearts | Reaper [POTENTIAL KH3D SPOILERS]

[darkest_fears]

[Riku wasn't exactly cut out to be a predator.

More like, he flatly refused. All he had to attribute his wiry wings to was the promise of keeping his powers and Keyblade - his ticket off this world and back where he needed to be. He couldn't actually be-- Yeah.

The Conductor could've put it in the fine print that they'd accounted for world-hopping already and it was a no-no.

So until he figured out something better, he was kept to frowning with his back against invisible walls. A Reaper had to live somehow, after all, as much as it stunk.

Come on, Players. He'll make it easy for you.]

[poppetstrings]

[Nope, No players here this day just someone in an Org coat (It's the only thing she owns, okay?) giving you a long, hard stare down.

This isn't the Riku she knows. Riku has much longer hair and he wouldn't be dead.

Riku can't die, so there is no way that this is him because it can't be him and isn't it funny how her fake heart is pounding even though this isn't him?]

Roxas | Kingdom Hearts | Player, 1 is easy yes? | ohgod so late orz

[shardsofmemory]

[Yup, this fighting Noise thing sure is a lot like fighting Heartless except apparently about 3000 times harder when he tries to do it alone.

Roxas has no idea what's going on as he slides back into a wall to try and avoid a hit, panting harshly. He could take solo missions against Heartless, what's the difference?

The difference, of course, is everything: he doesn't have his Keyblades or any of his spells, only a couple pins and his own battle experience. So while he's taken out quite a few of them, Roxas is still floundering and could really use some help. Crap.

Feel free to come laugh at him or help him, you know, which ever. or pick a different scenario entirely I DON'T CARE~]

TAGS EVERYONE IN THIS MEME CANT BE TAMED

[poppetstrings]

[It looks like you're having problems here, Roxas!

Luckily, you have friends on the other side, even if you don't realize it yourself.

Xion erases the noise surrounding him, hoping to give him a small reprieve. She's watched other players fight them, so she has a fair idea of how hard it can be, especially on ones own.]

Axel || Kingdom Hearts || Player

[memorizethefire]

[Axel leans against a brick wall, tossing his player pin in his hand. Really, he has no clue about what's going on. He woke up here in the middle of a mass of people having no idea where he is. The past... he doesn't know how long is fuzzy too. He remembers... feelings (that's strange in itself), pain, happiness, laughter, and some kind of ripping sadness that itches at his mind, but nothing beyond that. There's more the further back he tries to remember, but what good is that?

Now to find out what's going on. Feel free to have your character notice their being scanned/give him a thought or two if they're an RGer]

Sumeragi Hokuto | Tokyo Babylon | Player

[lodestar]

[A hat covered in a handful of pins isn't going to do Hokuto much good until she can sit down and figure out how to use them all, but she's holding her own, backed against a wall, snapping punches and kicks into the five smaller Noise pinning her there.

One disappears, and she lets out a triumphant kiai with her next blow. To her left, a little clawed thing slices at her extravagant black and purple lace skirt. She shrieks in outrage, spins, and punts it.]

Do you know how long it took me to alter that!? Ugh, what kind of way is that to treat a lady!

[As it darts back in, she hits it with an accurate and fatal spin-kick.]

I'm a delicate girl, you know! That might scar.

[homnomhearts]

[Oh hi! You're just the latest in Sora's crusade to Meet All the Players and Make All the Friends but it's totally not impersonal as it sounds. Promise.

Anyway, he's running up to help when he sees the Noise go after her, but the way she deals with them on her own is stopping him in his tracks.]

Whoa...

[Don't worry, he'll pick his jaw up off the floor after a few seconds.]

Hey! You're a Player too, right?

Neku Sakuraba | The World Ends With You | Reaper I AM SO LATE

[needsmorezippers]

[Neku is so unbelievably pissed about all of this. Apparently, the ban Shades gave him actually applied, so when he died (again)... he couldn't play. Which meant he had to be a Reaper. Which was possibly the worst thing ever.

So... here he is, chilling by a wall and not looking very happy about life. He'll be very nice to the Players, though.]

YOU ARE NEVER LATE

[leggierissimo]

[When are you ever looking happy about life, Neku? That frown is near-permanent, from what he's seen. You're going to get wrinkles if you keep this up.

But, guess who's dropping down riiiight behind you?]

Someone looks like they're in a good mood.

Ventus | Player 2

[reachesout]

[Now this was a strange riddle. He knew of all sorts of answers to the phrase "What's black and white and red all over." Some playful, some darker. But none of them were actually clear to him. Despite running around searching for the results for all his answers, he hadn't found anything that would remotely answer his riddle whatsoever.

He gives up, and finally decides to invade some head spaces. It's not his favorite thing to do, since it feels like he's doing to others what Vanitas liked to do to him. Read him deeper than he ever wanted to be read. But even as he jumped through peoples thoughts, they only resulted in a couple of vague clues.

Maybe he needed to clear his head and think it all over, and breathe for a moment. So he can be found sitting against a building, grumbling to himself, trying to figure out exactly what--hm.

Could it be a clothing label? Maybe!]

[homnomhearts]

[He's catching sight of Ven out of the corner of his eye and breaking into a broad grin. It can't be--but it is! Roxas is here!

But, hold on--]

Roxas?

[The clothes are wrong. And he seems... different, somehow. The hesitation is coming through in Sora's voice, but--this guy looks exactly like Roxas. Who else could he be?]

Dipper Pines | Gravity Falls | RGer 2

[sneezeslikeakitten]

[Most people would be skeptical about being given an Ouija board.]

[Not Dipper. Of course he's never had problems talking to ghosts before, especially vengeful ones, but given the situation he's making connections where he can.

So here is this weird kid in a trucker hat siting on a park bench with the board on his lap and an open book to his side. The open book looks old and beaten up and is open to a page about ghosts.]

[gogoghostpowers]

[Danny has just stumbled through a veritable swarm of terrifying Japanese fashion. He has been blinded by bright colors and casual pokemon cosplay more times than he can count today, and nearly been crushed underfoot by someone in twenty inch platform heels with actual live fish in them.

So when he spots a kid who actually is wearing something normal, he is desperate. He finds himself gravitating towards the small pocket of normalcy on this bench.

...Oh hey. It's another ouija board person. Except this kid's got a book too?]

Uhh...what are you doing?

[afterthemoon]

[Maybe he's more the type to process paperwork, but Isa knows how to do field work for shady organization types. He may not really like it, but he knows how to do it.

Want to pass this wall? You need to make it through him first.]

((OOC: Be aware, his AU is based on major KH3D spoilers, but they likely won't come up unless a character specifically asks about it.))
