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?)

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?

[carsharkkonishi]

[She's suddenly on defense.]

Who are you?

[poppetstrings]

Xion. [She gives the other girl a smile, hoping it'll calm her down at least slightly.]

I can help you if you want.

[Counting one for Worst Reaper Ever.]

[carsharkkonishi]

....Okay, but first off, where's the hospital? I just got shot and I need....[It occurs to her that she's not feeling pain.]

Please don't tell me I'm....

I'm dead. Does that mean you're dead too? And why do you have wings?

[poppetstrings]

We're both dead. And we're both part of a game to get back to life.

[She's trying to say this as reassuringly as she possibly can, but when someone finds out they're dead, it probably won't go over well.]

I have wings because I'm a reaper.

[carsharkkonishi]

[She's still in shock, but she's trying her best to stay steady. She blinks, looking confused.]

So do I get a pair of those, then? And what's this pin for? [She shows her the Crackle Pop Barrier pin.]

[poppetstrings]

Only reapers get wings, sorry. You're a player, it looks like. That Pin will protect you from the Noise. As long as you have a partner, anyways.

[She looks around. This girl definitely doesn't have a partner.]

[carsharkkonishi]

I need a partner? This makes no sense. At all.

[She's looking around.]

And I don't hear any noise....Wait, you said you were a reaper? So you sent me this message?

[ipodcoded]

[Oh, it's a Player who just entered. This girl here is going to observe Rhyme from far. What is she going to do next?]

[carsharkkonishi]

[She is going to continue looking at everyone and trying to get their attention before sighing.]

Why....why can't anyone see me?

[ipodcoded]

[But she is staring at you... Well, being uncooperative Reaper that is.]

[carsharkkonishi]

[It takes her a moment to notice, but she stares right back for a second, then walks up to her.]

So...you can see me. Why?

[ipodcoded]

[Flat but clear tone.]

You're dead.

[carsharkkonishi]

I...I was shot...and now I'm dead?

[She looks at the woman with wide eyes.]

So I'm a ghost here?

[ipodcoded]

Not quite. You're still breathing.

[carsharkkonishi]

How can I be dead and still be breathing?

rhyme bb. ;;

[needsmorezippers]

[...oh. oh no. That's not--]

Rhyme!

[no no no what are you doing here.]

Neeeekuuuuu

[carsharkkonishi]

[turning to look at him.]

Um...how'd you know my name? And why can you see me?

[needsmorezippers]

[...wait, what?

Neku takes a quiet moment to try and figure this out. She doesn't recognize him, and... she doesn't know she's in the UG. She had to have been told, so that meant it was probably the same reason he didn't remember the first time. Damnit.]

I'm, uh... a friend of Beat's. Has anyone told you what's going on yet?

[carsharkkonishi]

[She smiles at him.]

Well, a friend of Beat's is a friend of mine. And no, why? [She blinks.]

I should be in a hospital. I'm dreaming, right?

[needsmorezippers]

No... you're not. [he really doesn't want to explain this to her, but someone has to or she's in trouble.] What's the last thing you remember?

[carsharkkonishi]

[She looks down, her hands curling up into balls.]

Getting shot.


...I'm not...dead, am I?

[needsmorezippers]

[oh god now he feels like a horrible person.] ...Yea.

But... this thing, it's called the Reaper's Game. You can get a second chance. [Or... third.] You need to find a partner and complete the missions. Ok?

[carsharkkonishi]

[She swallows hard, then nods.]

Okay. I trust you.
