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?)

... I'm glad you think that. But i'm positive that there is no way you've seen me before.

[There's no way she can exist while Sora does. Or rather, at least outside of this place, it seems.]

Well, I have.

[He's sure of that part.]

You were wearing that coat, and you looked... so sad. So sad it made me sad. Then you ran away from me and that's when I found-- [he shakes his head] --nevermind.

Who are you? Please, just tell me.

[She sighs. Maybe it's not so bad to tell him her name. They were more than likely going to be seeing each other a fair amount, and it wouldn't hurt to give him something to call her by.

Especially if he ran into trouble.]

My name is Xion.

Xion.

[...You know, somehow, he expected that to help more.]

I know you.

[He's sure now. He may not remember how, or why, but this person--she's familiar. And he knows her in his heart even if his mind isn't cooperating yet.

He's dabbing at his cheeks with his fingertips, just in case. No tears this time. At least, not yet.]

Like I said before, that's not possible. I stopped existing a long while before you woke up.

[She assumes, at least. Xion knows Roxas wouldn't understand right away, and that was natural.]

I'm glad that I get this chance to meet you, though.

[He's frowning hard, lips pressed together--what is it with you guys? You sound just like Roxas.]

That's not true. I've met you. I know it. You were in my dream.

[But that... might be hard to explain.]

But I'm glad I got to meet you here, too. How did you end up in this place?

[Nothing he's saying is making any sense. But she can't ignore that last part.]

I should be asking you that. Only dead people play this game, Sora. What happened?

I dunno. I think something went wrong on the way back from Traverse Town, but... I don't really remember.

[The lanes between aren't something he pretends to know a lot about. Maybe he crashed into something?]

I'm pretty sure I'm not dead.

Well, you're not in the RG, where the people who are actually alive are.

[She's visibly concerned about him.]

Yeah, I... I dunno. Maybe it's just something about this world.

[In other worlds he's got a fish tail and is a vampire, so whatever! They'll figure it out.]

So... what about you?

What do you mean? What about me?

[You're kind of way more important than she is, Sora. Can't we talk about how you better not be dead?]

[But he wants to know all about you, Xion! ~~Partly because there was that whole trippy thing in The World That Never Was and he's kind of wondering if you being here in a sign that THEM being here is all part of Xehanort's plan but~~ mostly because you seem like a person he should know. And if he doesn't, well, that just means he should get to know you.]

How did you end up here?

I don't actually know. I was told that.. when people die, they come here. So, I guess that's why I'm here, for lack of a better explanation.

[And that hey, they can get another shot at life by winning the game too.]

Huh? But I just saw you...

[Then again... he saw a lot of people who weren't actually there. So maybe...]

... Is it possible you just saw me around here, and only think you saw me.. back wherever?

...Maybe.

[Confused Sora is confused.]

But--anyway, all of that doesn't matter now. You're here, and I'm here, and even if we don't know each other, that means we can get to know each other.

... I'd like that. I hope we get to know each other well.

Right. Me too.

...Uh... which way did you say the mission was?

[HE SHOULD PROBABLY BE... GETTING BACK TO THAT...]

This way.

[She'll motion for him to follow her.]

Thanks, Xion.

[And he will grin and follow.]

[And then they're in the area!]

This is it.

[Xion gestures, quieting down for a few seconds.]

If you ever need help... I probably won't be too far.

Okay. If you see my friend Riku, tell him hi for me--he's a Reaper too.

[Her first thought is to blurt out "He's here too!?" in shock, but she manages to swallow it down, still looking a little distressed despite her best efforts.]

I- I will.

[That wasn't the reaction he was expecting.]

Do you two know each other?

I don't. No.
