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?)

Very nearly, it sounds like.

[He knows what it's supposed to be, but hey. Only he's allowed to do that. His tone is wry, but thoughtful.]

[poppetstrings]

Well, do you think we could start over and be friends again?

[She could really use his help in looking after Sora, Roxas and Axel.]

[leggierissimo]

[... excuse him, Sora, but what. Friends, what. Saving them, what.]

I'm afraid I'm not at all sure what you're talking about.

[darkest_fears]

[He's looking at her, face blank and eyebrows raised for just a split second, but then he's smiling slightly.]

Sure.

[homnomhearts]

That's okay. Just finding you here was a start. What are you doing here, anyway? Is this your world?

[Nothing weird about this conversation, nope.]

[poppetstrings]

[She's a little bit nervous when he's silent, but when he agrees, she almost lets out a sigh of relief.]

Thank you.

[leggierissimo]

Bravo. You're getting good at this game.

[Of course it isn't his world. He wouldn't be having problems if it was.]

[leggierissimo]

[... no, everything is weird about this conversation.]

I've never seen this place, actually. But the mechanics seem similar.

[homnomhearts]

Have you always been a Reaper? I thought they were the bad guys.

[darkest_fears]

[He thought you were running out of bravos--

And yeah, it would have been more obvious had you said you were having problems. You're leaving him to infer. Hush.]

...Thanks.

[Deadpan. You could be more helpful, you know.]

[leggierissimo]

Mm, that's fairly objective, really. I suppose only Players would consider Reapers "the bad guys".

[darkest_fears]

[He was actually just getting a brief Sora ping off of you, that's all. All things considered, he's not surprised by it.]

It'll be helpful having someone else on this side of things, anyway. I'm not expecting to get along with some people who've picked being a Reaper.

[leggierissimo]

[Maybe some other version of him that you claim to know.]

The planes don't seem to be working the same here as they do in my world. Players are defeating Noise without a partner. In my world, that's impossible, and a one-way ticket to being erased.

[There. Is that a little more helpful?]

[poppetstrings]

Mm. I need too protect my friends. Sora too.

[homnomhearts]

Back in Traverse Town, you said it was Reapers who were trying to erase Neku and Shiki. That's why you asked us for help.

[darkest_fears]

My thoughts exactly.

[poppetstrings]

Any plans on how to go about this?

[darkest_fears]

[A bit, yeah. He's taking a second to absorb that.]

Any way to break the system and send everyone home where they belong?

[leggierissimo]

[... alright. Hold on a second.]

Mind giving me an explanation? I'm still at a bit of a loss.

[darkest_fears]

For right now, make sure we survive and take out Noise when things get hairy for them. I've been keeping in touch with Sora through our phones, but...

I guess we're just going to have to make do until we find a way to break the system and get everyone--

[...Home, he was going to say. But he doesn't know what to say about you, or Roxas, who frankly might be better off here until he can look into what DiZ was talking about.]

We'll bend the rules until we know what's going on. And then we'll go from there.

[homnomhearts]

Well, uh... to be honest it was all kind of over my head. Riku would probably be a better person to ask.

[leggierissimo]

[Pausing here! ... hm. It might be possible to do, considering he's had to call a taxi to get back to his own world once before. But that was simply a parallel world. This, on the other hand...]

I'm not entirely sure.

jk squeezes in one more tag

[poppetstrings]

Is it even possible to break a system like this? One wrong move, and we could end up erased ourselves, Riku..

[And then who will protect those idiots?]

[darkest_fears]

I'll see what I can figure out for myself, then.

[leggierissimo]

[... sigh.]

I see. ... where is this Traverse Town, exactly?
