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?)

[Roxas, to his credit, does not react as strongly as he could in this situation. After all, this is the guy he just gave up everything for, who, for all intents and purposes, should definitely not be existing in the same space as him, even in a weird world like this. Besides, he's supposed to be alive! That was what Roxas was trying to ensure, wasn't it?

But they're still being attacked by a ton of Noise, and now is not the time for quasi-existential crises involving facetwins no matter how much Roxas wants to ask him how the heck he ended up here.

So all he really does is jerk back a little, frowning with a slight, jerking nod] Uh-- yeah. I'm ready. [He has a bunch of sword pins to make up for his distinct and unfortunate lack of a Keyblade, which he chooses to focus on right now instead of Sora over there, whirling back toward the noise with a determined set to his jaw]

[That voice--he's doing a double-take now, apparently unbothered by the predicament they're currently in.] Roxas?

[Ow ow ow he really shouldn't have turned around, those noise-claws hurt, but Roxas is standing right there and what's he even doing here when Sora just saw him inside that--

OH RIGHT. NOISE. ...RIGHT. OKAY.

Sora's tried to replicate his old abilities as best he could, so he's mostly got pins that make fire and thunder and other assorted elemental abilities. He'll be blasting the Noise with those while Roxas takes care of the ones on his end.]

[Focus, Sora you are a hero you should know how to do this gosh. Roxas doesn't answer until he's taken care of the two larger ones near him, using the wall as a touchpoint. Having Sora at his back is definitely nice; like old joint missions, except with confusing Others who apparently know his name but nope, no, focusing on the noise.

Roxas, for his part, doesn't like magic as much as he likes his actual weapons, so he stuck to physical and healing pins with like, two spells. Once he has the noise down to a manageable level (much easier with Sora taking care of the ones he can't get to) he heads over to help Sora, only talking when he's closer] Yeah. [And that's all he says until the noise are gone]

[Having Roxas at his back is a comfort, too--for Sora, used to having at least two companions at all but the worst of times, doing missions alone has been hard, not to mention lonely. But this? This is reminiscent of fighting with Riku in the World That Never Was. The stakes were high back then, but they were fighting together, and together they could do anything. Fighting with Roxas gives him the same feeling.

And hey, he knows how to do this just fine--look, the smaller ones are gone already! Now there's just that big bear one left, and he can keep it knocked back with the lightning pin until it disappears into nothing.]

Whew. We did it!

...yeah. [You'll have to forgive him his reluctance, Sora, and his keeping his distance-- who knows, he could get absorbed into Sora all over again in what he thought was his second chance.

Granted, he's been worrying since he got here that without him Sora will just fall asleep again, but there isn't anything he can do about that. The thought, small and cold and slightly more vindictive than Roxas really wants, pops up that maybe it's because he's here and not with Sora that Sora is... dead too. Roxas shifts uncomfortably, meeting blue eyes so much like his own with shoulders tight and mouth set.

None of this solves the mystery of how Sora knows his name, though. Roxas has never been one for holding back] How do you know who I am? You... never met me.

What? Sure I did.

[That... that was Roxas, right? Yeah, no, it had to be, no doubt about it. Even if the other stuff was just made up of things the Organization planted in his head, there's no way Roxas was a part of that. Sora's got the memories to prove it.

Plus, there was the time before that, too, with Namine and Kairi and stuff. And... that other time. He doesn't like thinking about that one as much.]

Don't you remember?

[He is so tired of people asking "Don't you remember" when he does not, in fact, remember. Still, Roxas had thought he was over that whole memory-loss issue so Sora is getting a confused look and a slight step backwards as Roxas stares at him] I don't... remember anything like you. You... you were asleep. [And kind of just stole my existence. Geeze.]

Well... yeah, but...

[That's no reason why Roxas shouldn't remember, right? Sora remembers everything that happened when he was asleep! NO REASON AT ALL NOT TO REMEMBER]

Edited 2012-08-24 22:19 (UTC)

You were asleep. [Roxas repeats this as if it's going to make everything suddenly start making sense, obstinate to the end]

So? If I was, then so were you.

[So if he remembers it, you should too. :|]

...no, that was only the one time, and-- you shouldn't... know about that anyway! Just now, in Twilight Town, you were-- and I never... [This is more confusing than it really has a right to be okay he's starting to get a little more snappish]
