EVERYONE GET IN THE CAR, it's TEST DRIVE TIME!

TEST DRIVE MEME

WHAT THE FUCK TO DO:

► STEP 1; Post a comment with a character that's not in HH as if they're already in the setting or alternative version, post character who is in HH. Scenarios if you need them!
► STEP 2; Tag around and get a feel for your characters, whether or not you're voice testing or planning to actually app them in!
► STEP 3; Post this all over your plurk and get people to get their big asses in here and force them to app or face the consequences. Oh, and I guess have fun. I suppose that's important, too.

[a for Action!]

Pop. A pink bubble of gum filled and deflated as Jam continued watching the football team practice from the bleachers. Occasionally, she would adjust her sunglasses and take a sip from her ice water, but otherwise she was just watching, chewing, and observing as several young sweaty young men in tight pants collided with one another again and again.

You could call it scouting. She needed waiters for her restaurant, after all. But it was mostly shameless appreciation of the eye candy. Ah well.

[b for... brackets. Also video]

-Behold the glitter! The glamor! The red and gold silk of Jam's gown as she presented in her usual fabulous manor her fully opened Kuradoberi Jam Chinese Bar & Restaurant! Check out all that authentic Shanghai decour...-

Awoo! Feeling hungry? Well look no further! The greatest chef in the universe has graced this town with her talents, so come on down and be ready to have the taste of a lifetime! Our traditional Chinese kitchen will serve up dishes from all across China! And perhaps a few foreign surprises too~~

And of course don't forget our homemade cocktails, crafted with only the finest of ingredients! Happy hour specials every day, as well!

And last but not least, our handsome, polite, and always easy on the eye serving staff~

So if you're hungry, thirsty, or just want a place to relax, come down to Jam's!

( you may be on your way home, on your way to work, to a friend's place, or you just came from shopping. well, whatever you're doing - you'll come across a girl sitting behind a self-made booth. from a distance, it looks like those little girly lemonade stand. except this stand has NOTHING to do with lemonade. oh no, of course not. it's all about SWEATERS!!! sweaters that she made herself. they're all hanging on display. )

( mabel ducks behind the booth for a split second and pops up wearing a top hat and a cane. she hops off to the side and then shouts: )

SWEATERS!!! GET YOUR SWEATERS HERE!! Feeling cold and chilly? Look no further! Does your pet look boring? Customize them to look the coolest pet in the universe!

( she points her cane over at waddles who has his OWN little booth, chewing on a pencil. )

Come on down to Mabel's SweatShack. It's the talk of the town!!

[Not all the young men are colliding against one another, there's one in particular that avoids collisions as if they were avoiding hell's fires raining down on them. He's small, and despite the padding it's clear that he's far from muscular, his legs, however, are another story. Legs of a runner, and that's exactly what he does, run sorting obstacles and dodging other players, as fast as his small legs can carry him. And boy, he is fast, one of the fastest if not the fastest one standing on the field even for the eyes of someone who isn't an expert.

Still, Sena isn't as fast as he wishes he would be. Not yet. He needs to train more, to improve further. But right now, he needs to rest a bit and drink something. Seriously. So he stops after one more run, moving to the benches to take a drink, taking his helmet off to try to cool down a bit. That's when he spots Jam, it's not extremely rare to see people watching the practice, but normally they are people who do so often, this woman is new, though. At least it's the first time he has seen her. He doesn't dare to approach, though, thinking that maybe she's a new girlfriend of Agon's and thus approaching could be bad for his health, but he does stare at her curiously and without any subtlety.]

-He definitely caught her attention. Especially how he looked in those pants. Those legs bulged with power and strength. He had such youthful vigor as well. And that face, baby cute with fluffy hair and big, emotional eyes... He was perfect. Absolutely perfect. One look at him and Jam saw money. Ladies would line up around the block to be served by a guy like him. Some men, too, probably.

Noticing he was looking at her, Jam popped another gum bubble before making her way down to the bench, leaning over the fencing and tilting her sunglasses down so that he could see her eyes.-

You're pretty good out there.

[a. action, pleasure gate.]

[Some woman in a leaf bustier is planting flowers in the park. Okay then.]

[b. video network post.]

So... What is it exactly that you all do here? [She arches a brow with a coy smile.]

Even I have trouble believing that an entire community of people will allow themselves to be caged in and forced to play house. Perhaps suburban enslavement just comes more naturally to some of us than others. [Her tone is light, but her casual demeanor doesn't quite reach her eyes.]

A.

[ so we've gone off to the petting zoo for whatever reason!! there are loads and loads of cute animals... except hirato seems to be more interested in the sheep than any of the exotic ones. anyway!! whenever your character decides to check what the heck he's up to, they'll find him petting a particularly friendly sheep going mee mee all kawaiily.

HE MISSES HIS ROBOT SHEEP OKAY.......... A LITTLE........

(gomen i got lazy here oops) ]

B.

[ right, so. people are creatures of habit. routines are one of those pesky things you can't really shake off just like that. routine is the explanation for why hirato is up and fully dressed before sunrise today. blame it on the old job and the hectic hours. sure, going back to bed is an option-- but on the other hand, it feels a bit pointless to go back to sleep now that he's all awake.

it also will definitely not do to wake up the other residents of the house. no, no. that would be most unbecoming, so outside he goes. it's still pretty dark out, but he's never been afraid of the dark. it's kind of foggy too, but that isn't really all that annoying either.

ooh, but he looks pretty shady, doesn't he? it's kind of suspicious for people in long dark coats to be out and about on a dark, foggy morning, right?!

OR MAYBE ACTUALLY A HOUSEMATE DID WAKE UP do what u want friend i'm just happy to thread with you tbh. ]

C. (SLIGHTLY MORE SPECIFIC ASSUMED CR basically u decide why they're l8 okok)

[ it's a lovely day today, all sunny and warm-- though not overly much so. it's almost a little too picturesque, but that's all par for the course in holly heights, isn't it...? regardless, here's hirato outside some kawaii little cafe, a newspaper in hand and... two cups of tea on the table? or, well. one empty cup and one that appears to have gone cold.

at the sound of approaching footsteps, he looks up from the paper and smiles ever so politely. ] Got a bit held up, did we?

[ despite the phrasing, his tone isn't accusative in the slightest. ]

D.

[ obligatory wildcard option!! ]

ACTION: THE SHOPPING GATE

[ some time around noon, the shops are abuzz with people stopping by for lunch. it's the best time to advertise, when people have no other choice but to be around. there, in the center of the food court, ami stands decked in a cute maid outfit that is most demeaning and unnecessary, but she rocks it like the model she is. ]

Everyone~! [ her voice is high-pitched and girly, the perfect cutesy-cutesy tone to draw attention in from near and far. she is waving one hand around excitedly, the other holding up a small plate of what look to be pigs-in-a-blanket... ]

Don't forget to try out Earnest Bert's new pigs-in-a-blanket special~! They're Kawashima Ami-chan's absolute favorite! All my model friends swear by them~ You can eat two or four or six and not worry about a single pound~!

[ ...where it matters, anyway. this filth will go straight to your gut!

her smile is wide and her tone is sugary sweet, but inside she's seething. does she seriously have to go through five more hours of this?! ]

[ Text ]
[ What happens when you mix a tumblr-like network and a tipsy tengu, at three-o-clock in the morning? ]

why do humans call it
the tips of ears
when they’re rounded

i dont get it
i mean MY ears are pointed

but is it a pun? or something more

[ Apparently you get nightblogging. ]

-------

[ Action ]
[ Hatate is one of those people. The ones who spend all day with their noses against their cell phone screens, even while wandering around. One might be surprised that she hasn't run into anyone or anything yet, but she's just that good at keeping an eye on her surroundings with her occasional glances from the device she so deftly clutched.

Whatever she's working on must be urgent. Or she's just still in the process of figuring out how this can have so many more features than her own, and yet just not do what she NEEDS it to do.

Alternately, you can find Hatate about town just about anywhere, snapping photos with her phone like it's going out of style. And maybe things are going out of style. You don't know this! That's why she's making records because there has to be something worth reporting about in this town besides the obvious grand kidnapping scheme.

Maybe you're in the shot, maybe you're in just the way... ]

action;; 1

[that was possibly the worst musical performance by npcs that dylan has seen in his entire life. Isn't it nice that you got to share it with him???]

The hell was that?! There's no way that can be called a performance. [He gives a few angry puffs of his cigarette, (the smoke may be drifting towards your face sorry).] God, what a waste of time! It's not like I had high expectations in the first place, but still, you'd think that they'd all be able to dance at least!

[apparently he's got a lot to say about this?? feel free to cut him off, ~~stuff a carrot in his face~~, or wave away the smoke he's exhaling like a tiny train engine]

action;; 2

[Dylan's sitting on the edge of the Grande Fountain, concentrating on the violin sitting on his lap. He plucks a string, frowns, and slides it onto his shoulder, playing a few bars before screeching to a stop. It feels weird to adjust to a new violin, and he's not as adept at playing as he'd like to be either.]

Damn. [he starts running through scales instead, and while he'll eye any interruptions, he'll most likely play any suggestions too]

[Despite not being subtle on the staring, once he realizes that she's approaching him Sena jumps and averts his gaze nervously. He has seen the kind of girls Agon hangs around of, and, while he has nothing against them, he doesn't want to be teased by them, mostly because that would probably result on Agon beating him up on top of being embarrassed. So he looks away shyly and trying to check where Agon is, this time subtly, to see how much his life is in danger. Then again with Agon's god's impulse being aware of where the other is may be useless after all.

His attention is brought back to the girl when she speaks, and his eyes automatically search hers, a "bad" habit he has when talking to girls specially. A small blush climbs up his face at the compliment.]

Ah, t-thank you. I still have to improve a lot, though, I'm not fast enough for what I want.

[Is it okay if he engages in a conversation with her? He looks around again before looking at her, hesitating a bit before he dares to speak again.]

A-Are you enjoying watching the practice?

[He probably should have remained silent if that's the best he can come up with to try to make a conversation with a stranger.]

[ Sometimes going to the zoo is such a bad idea- what, you don't agree with this? You believe in soothing your soul by spending time (and let's be honest: money) surrounded by nature's miracles?

Well, you clearly aren't a reformed werewolf. Could be that Erica still smells kind of furry, could be that her hair is just a bit too long, a bit too bright, but for some reason the animals are acting a bit crazy today. (Could be that this is just how they always are, we aren't judging here)

You'll probably run into her as she's slamming her hand against one of the parrot cages, a stand or two of her hair caught by an over-eager talon. She'll be absolutely thrilled to see you of course. ]

( A )

[ so if you're walking by the various parks in the pleasure district, you might spot this kid here with a bat and a duffle bag. he sets the bag down and pulls out a well-worn baseball glove along with a couple baseballs. maybe you came here with him or maybe you're just passing through, but either way, you're gonna be learning to how play America's favorite game today.

he throws the ball up a few times, a wide grin on his face. ]

You ready?

[ can you tell he's excited. he's super excited ok. ]

( B )

[ so they've somehow ended up at the pet store! Yamamoto is cheerfully taking a moment to play with a shiba inu puppy, petting a ruffling his fur and lightly scratching under his chin while the puppy barks and paws at him cutely. he might be looking a little longingly at him; someone misses his own doggy ok. ;; ]

( C )

[ anything goes!! ]

Edited 2013-08-27 22:11 (UTC)

option a.

[ somewhere in the housing district, in one of its many parks, this young lady can be seen at the swings: oddly enough, she's not sitting on the seat swinging herself, but rather, she's standing on the seat and well, swinging herself. there is melody, more of a humming that comes from her, an indistinct sound. when she finally achieves something like a stronger swing, she jumps off—

—and lands rather gracefully on the grass. ]

...Got it!

option b.
[ s-shopping gate! Kururu here is wandering the various stores, apparently looking for something particular, and possibly talking to herself. ]

There aren't any parts or ATs on sale here... I can't give up though! Just look harder, Kururu! C'mon...

option c.
um excuse me, but has anyone seen...a large...cross? it's around the size of a person and er, i'm looking for it since it's mine...
if anyone has seen it, please call me? i'm kururu sumeragi and i live at house 14##! thank you in advance!

option d.
[ wildcard!!!! ]

[ maybe they're assigned siblings?? or they're classmates??? whatever she's here too. ]

I guess so...!

[ she doesn't know baseball though ]

[ maybe both! and hey, kururu is a cutie and teaching cuties how to play baseball is his forte. (not really but shhhhh) ]

Right! We'll start off slow, just to get you used to the ball, okay?

[ he hands her another glove and the ball and then moves back a few feet. ]

Throw it here!

[Let's not question why Roy is smashed in the middle of the day, or why he has both his sniper rifle and an alien blaster on his person while smashed (perhaps it's because he's far too used to always carrying a weapon. Perhaps he's just an idiot). Those are not important, after all! Oh no. Roy knows what's important right now -- something he's wondered for a while but didn't really have the balls to test out, given where he lives it'd be a great risk.

But right now...nothing is stopping him. Drunk shooting -- clearly a great idea, right? He's great with weapons, OF COURSE HE CAN.]

Think I can shoot down one of those birds from here?

[He is of course referring to the seagulls flying overhead, blissfully unaware of Roy's intent to shoot at them.

He unholsters his rifle.]

Twenty caps says I can. I mean bucks. Whatever the fuck people bet with here.

scenario a: action

[sadly, all the "new" inventions here have already caused a lot of confusion for zhong hui, though it's not something that he will admit so freely to. the device he's looking at currently is the car outside his new "home". it looks a lot like a carriage, but the way it's structured and the fact that there is no horse in front of it is making it worse. at least it looks rather flashy, however??

though people may want to panic when he slides into the front seat, acting as though he knows what he's doing... but then his hair gets trapped in the door, he has no idea what a seat belt is, and he manages to rev up the car with the hand break on.

please excuse all the smoke in the street and him coughing up his lungs while trying to get out.]

scenario b: video

[it's been a day or two by now and (thankfully!!!) someone has shown him how to use this to communicate. he's sat in his home, twirling a lock of hair around his finger as the video starts. he's had time to stop being quite as offended by all of this.]

Whoever thought this was acceptable ought to think again. I'm perfectly capable of choosing my own wife, you know.

[though then he smirks towards the camera, self assured.]

Though I can see why you would choose someone like me for this game of yours. I am the chosen one, after all.

[No one can avoid the siren call of samples, not even Scott! Still, he hesitates once he gets near, his brow wrinkling in confusion as he stares at the pigs-in-a-blanket. It's his face that he gets when someone promises him coke, but gets him a diet okay!!]

Are they like fat-free or something?

[Even Scott knows to stay away from the zoo, Erica!! Except maybe knowing that makes it doubly stupid somehow because he still walks on in, following the scent he caught earlier. He knows who it belongs to, just as he knows where to find her -- apparently terrorizing parrots??]

Erica...? [...what are you doing... does he want to know...]

( oh wow, so that is indeed a rare sight. hirato, petting animals.

if it was some other person in circus, they'd probably expecting the sky to fall or the ground to open up. but since this is tsukumo, she's just - well, deadpan as usual though very much amused in some way.

she's brought a few of the sheep that yogi has acquired along with yukkin to the zoo in a form of excursion (because they need exercise too) though it looks more like a set of cute guards accompanying her instead. in any case - )

Captain? ( headtilt. ) May I ask what you're doing?

[This other young lady is just walking by, minding her own business, when she notices the girl on the swings. Kind of a weird way to swing on them, and seems a little dangerous for a kid, but she's not that young. Surely she won't do anything stupid like-

... Oh, crap. Without even thinking, Natsuru is already at a full-tilt heroic dash towards where the girl is heading... only to stop short as the girl makes a perfect landing. What~?!

So hi, Kururu. There's a tall, blue-haired girl pretty much right up in your face, staring down at you in disbelief. What do?]

[A- Front Yard]

[Hal has just arrived and gone through the standard freaking out, where is he, where is his crappy house, where is his beautiful wife-- and then he sees the car.]

[This is the nicest car he's ever seen.]

[He starts crying and rubbing his face all over it, laughing, as he daydreams of driving down the highway like it's 1979]

[B- More Front Yard]

[It's only been a day, and the grass has already dried up and died. Maybe there's a drought. Ah, whatever. He's gotten through his first stage of Loss without Lois, which means he's gone back to chainsmoking-- but it also means he can finally get a cat.]

[In fact, he got seven cats.]

[And they're all flopping out of his hands at once.]

Dammit, Funkadelic, get back here!

[and one of them yowls terribly and jumps out of his arms and starts running]

[which would be okay if they all didn't scatter]

[C- Front Yard... Again...]

[The next-door neighbor needs to be taught a lesson. Attempts to recruit the schoolchildren have ended badly, and the police had a few things to say about that, but he could handle it on his own.]

[He's creeping behind the hedge, brand new pair of high-tech binoculars peeking over the edge.]

Taking out the milk bottles, eh? Let's just see what the FBI will have to say about that one.

[laughs! and tries to lean closer]

[getting himself tangled in the hedges]

[ Steve's out doing Steve things like getting the newspaper, letting his dog waddle to the front yard and shyly go about its business while looking to its owner sadly, and bringing his milk bottles to the curb to recycle.

And then he looks over at his neighbor, who seems to have gotten a little too attached to trimming the hedges. ]

Need a little help?

[SCREAMS]

[drops binoculars]

[fumbles with them and drops them anyway]

[tries to smooth down his hair and look super casual standing in the middle of this bush.]

N-n-n-n-nothing! Yep, yep, that's uh... no bedbugs here. No sir! [pats bush] Yep... perfect, bug-free lawn.

[ The great thing about being an all-knowing omnipotent is the fact that there really isn't a need for an alternative form of transportation. He descends, as most mortals would never be able to experience, just as time is still a tough concept for them to understand. Luckily, there isn't a need for them to - not with Kaguya on their side, to guide them. Taigong Wang would (and that's a big "would") consider himself a Mystic with similar ideals as Kaguya, but as it stands, she's a hero. Taigong Wang knows better than that - he's no hero, especially not for the sake of humanity.

Now the idea of being an omnipotent and all-knowing is nice and swell, but there's a vital lapse Taigong Wang noticed the moment he stepped foot on this human realm (as opposed to the Human Realm) --

He's no longer a Mystic.

Which means that he isn't omnipotent, he does need to reconsider how time works (Kaguya, he senses, isn't here), and finally, he does have to think about an alternative form of transportation. Well, he doesn't have to, technically, but seeing all these red "automobiles" does make him wonder how it compares to teleportation.

The answer is obvious, quite honestly, but what teleportation doesn't have is a spectacular trail of black smoke, just like the one before him. He could have mistaken the vehicle for a wheel-harboring devil, but it's quite obvious a human operating it. He cants his head to the side, the hand not holding his fishing rod waves the smoke clear from his sight. And it's when the coughing man emerges from the smoke that Taigong Wang realizes who he's dealing with. ]

Haha, if it isn't Zhong Hui... A man hailed from the era of the Three Kingdoms, attempting operation on a machine that is nearly two millennia ahead of your time... I thought you'd know better than that.

[ It's more than two millennia ahead of Taigong Wang's time, as a matter of fact, but that's precisely why he hasn't given it a whirl. Not that he would have much trouble learning, quite frankly. It may no longer be a Mystic, but he is still all-knowing.

Except for the fact that he doesn't know whether or not this Zhong Hui would recognize him. ]

I don't suppose you are in need of assistance?

[ Not that he can help all that much. Despite it all, he still isn't a hero. ]
