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?)

Sumeragi Hokuto | Tokyo Babylon | Player

[A hat covered in a handful of pins isn't going to do Hokuto much good until she can sit down and figure out how to use them all, but she's holding her own, backed against a wall, snapping punches and kicks into the five smaller Noise pinning her there.

One disappears, and she lets out a triumphant kiai with her next blow. To her left, a little clawed thing slices at her extravagant black and purple lace skirt. She shrieks in outrage, spins, and punts it.]

Do you know how long it took me to alter that!? Ugh, what kind of way is that to treat a lady!

[As it darts back in, she hits it with an accurate and fatal spin-kick.]

I'm a delicate girl, you know! That might scar.

[homnomhearts]

[Oh hi! You're just the latest in Sora's crusade to Meet All the Players and Make All the Friends but it's totally not impersonal as it sounds. Promise.

Anyway, he's running up to help when he sees the Noise go after her, but the way she deals with them on her own is stopping him in his tracks.]

Whoa...

[Don't worry, he'll pick his jaw up off the floor after a few seconds.]

Hey! You're a Player too, right?

[lodestar]

[Are you sure, Sora? Because it sounds pretty impersonal --

But Hokuto definitely isn't objecting. She lights up as she sees him approach.]

Yes, of course! These aren't real wings. [You can even see the wire framework a little through the black starched cloth, can't you? Well, maybe it could be a little confusing.]

Let's get those first and then we can talk!

[She points at the remaining three, who are circling in.]

[homnomhearts]

[He's grinning ear-to-ear. Even if she had been a Reaper, at least she seems nice!] Right. Ready when you are.

[That and, well, he missed having someone to fight alongside.]

[lodestar]

One, two, three!

[She spins, punting one of the Noise toward Sora. He looks prepared -- right?]

[homnomhearts]

[You know, these Noise are kind of cute when they're not FLYING TOWARDS YOUR FACE WHAT THE]

Aah!

[Luckily he's not just any hapless teenager, so he's managing to dodge--AND sending a thunderbolt through the Noise with one of his pins as it flies past him, neatly erasing it.]

Give me a little warning next time.

[lodestar]

I counted to three! Come on, catch up.

[One of them claws her ankle, and she turns back to the fight.] Nice work with the lightning! Hey, when you're done, can you show me how you work those? They just gave me a handful--

[and chanting wasn't doing a single bit of good--

Well. She kicks another Noise away as it lunges for her. She can get into detail when the last two quit ruining her stockings.]

[homnomhearts]

Um, sure. [He figured them out easily enough. Well, okay, Riku helped.]

[Wait... has she been not using pins this entire time?

Either way, he's helping dispatch the last two with a fire pin. You can never have enough magic, right?]

[lodestar]

[Never! She plants her hands on her hips, grinning as she turns toward Sora.]

Thanks for the help! Are you going to introduce yourself?

[homnomhearts]

I'm Sora.

[The introduction is accompanied by the customary broad grin.]

[lodestar]

Sumeragi Hokuto. [She executes a polite bow, then stops herself and holds a hand out instead.] Sora? That's a cute name!

[...a girl's name, but cute anyway. He's probably not Japanese, so it's different wherever he's from--] How long have you been here? I just showed up!
