minglemode | TEST RUN MEME!

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?)

[Neku sighs and pulls on one of his spikes. If there were some kind of theme to where Composers stayed, Josh would probably know it... though knowing him, he might not say it just to see if Neku figured it out. No point asking, in any case. They really were just going to have to look.]

How much does the Composer actually pay attention to the Reapers? [Because if they find out what's going on, that could be another problem.]

[He doesn't really have to read Neku's mind at all to get an idea of why he's asking such a thing. He simply shrugs, sliding his hands into his pockets, that smile still present but very much unamused.]

The Composer can see all that goes on in their city. [Which means, Neku, that they have to tread carefully.]

[Damnit. As if they needed more to make this harder.]

Awesome. [But he's not about to back down from this- he wants to get home.]

[What would the afterlife be without a challenge? Pretty boring, probably.]

Eloquently put, Neku-kun. [He'll just keep planning to text messages for now~]

[so long as you keep him in the loop.]

...Do you even know what Players are supposed to be up to today? [It's weird, he hasn't seen many pacts running around.]

[Oh, don't worry. He will.]

It's only the first day. I would assume that they're partnering up and making their way to their goal.

How many partners have you seen?

All I've seen so far are stragglers. If they don't pick up on it quickly, this week is going to be over painfully fast.

No, that's the thing. Some of them have been fighting Noise alone. And.... not dying.

... is that so.

[Gasp! Genuine surprise!]

Yea.

[Hey, it wasn't really what he expected either.]

It's easier with a partner, obviously, but doesn't seem to be mandatory. I didn't even think that was possible.

It shouldn't be.

[It really shouldn't be. Noise exist on multiple planes - fighting in both planes is required. So why...]

... clearly this place is working a bit differently than Shibuya.

In more ways than one.

[Neku thinks for a moment, trying to puzzle this out.]

Reapers can fight on two planes at the same time, right? How? Could that be what they're doing?

I think it's more likely that the planes simply don't work quite the same here as they do in Shibuya.

[It's the best he can think of.]

Can they work differently in different UGs? [He never got that impression, but three weeks isn't enough to understand how everything works.]

[Neku, you're talking like he can actually go freely exploring another Composer's territory without being attacked for it.]

As far as I'm aware, the planes are the same everywhere.

[look he doesn't know those rules ok.]

This doesn't make any sense.

[Not surprising, actually.]

No, it really doesn't. Unless this means we aren't on Earth at all.

.......is that seriously a possibility?!

[oh god his head is starting to hurt.]

Anything seems possible at this point.

[Get used to it, Neku. He's a little surprised you aren't at least somewhat acclimated to strange things happening by now.]

[He's used to certain levels of strangeness- other planets is not yet one of them.]

This is so messed up.

As I believe we've established already, thank you, Neku.

[It's... a new one on him, too, though. Unfortunately.]

[Neku sighs and glances around, seeing Players scrambling to complete... whatever the hell the mission is. For right now, it looks like they just have to wait. Not something he's really keen on doing.]

[Joshua, on the other hand, is used to waiting. He can be patient - in most cases, anyway. But here, watching the Players scattering themselves to get through the day's mission... it's kind of like being home again. Except that his position is considerably different, but.]

There's always a way home. Maybe not an obvious one, but it's there somewhere.

Yea...

[He just has to remember that. He looks back at the streets and tugs on his hair.]

I guess I should... go do something...

[even if he really doesn't want to bother them. at all.]
