TEST DRIVE MEME



SO HOW DOES IT WORK?

► STEP 1; Post a comment with a character that's not in HH as if they're already in the setting; alternative version, post character who is in HH. Scenarios if you need 'em!
► STEP 2; Tag around and get a feel for your characters, whether you're just voice testing or planning to actually app them in!
► STEP 3; Post this all over your plurk and get people to join in on this jolly good fun. Don't forget: it's mandatory.

Taken from someone who took it from someone who took it from someone I don't even know anymore. TOOK IT FROM THE MEME COMM.

[this is really strange (and scary - i mean, the gas mask!? that was really suspicious!), makoto thinks. he's walking home from school and as he keeps on walking he gets closer to this particular scene; at first he had no idea what to make of it, but the more he approaches the clearer the picture paints itself.]

[...and he's not sure what to make of it.]

[was there a gas leak? is this an omen? it's not halloween any more, is it?]

...

[curiosity gets the best of him, and so he stops by the start of the pathway towards the house this strange man was perched on. he holds onto the straps of his backpack tightly, but his voice condemns no ill feelings - only polite assertiveness.]

Excuse me? [how to phrase this-- maybe he was an official for something?] Is something the matter?

[mastah]

[ no, no. not an official in the least. just someone on a mission! which was obviously unclear at this point. but when the other approached the house, his attention snapped right to him.

he'll raise a hand up as a greeting before speaking. ]

Hello! [ he sounds quite cheerful for someone who looks like.. well, the way he does. ]

Ah - [ and he stops right there, his head tilting. ] No, nothing is the matter. Why do you ask?

[splasher]

[cheerful and upbeat- not the kind of voice he expected, that's for sure! it puts him a bit more at ease, but curiosity levels remain pretty much about the same.]

Why do I-

[oh shoot, there needs to be a reason, right?!]

That's, that's because you're [sitting on the roof of a house looking suspect as heck is definitely not the thing to say] wearing a gas mask. Is there a gas leak in the house? It could be dangerous!

[mastah]

No, no, there isn't anything like that going on here!

[ but he doesn't really answer the question as to why he's wearing it. just another nod before beginning to stand up on the roof slowly. have to be careful now! before wobbling a bit to get his balance, he looks back down to makoto. ] I go by Clear, it's nice to meet you!

[ and then another pause before. aaaah. ] Are you perhaps a resident here?

[splasher]

[don't fall don't fall don't fall makoto's going to have a heart attack. does this guy know what he's doing?!]

[he sighs sigh a bit relieved (that he's still standing and there isn't a gas leak), but considers that his question had been artfully gone unanswered. is this really an answer he can trust though? he does look suspicious ... but acts and speaks so clumsily. surely it'll be fine...]

Ah, yes! My name is Makoto Tachibana! It's nice to meet you too.

[can this be considered 'meeting' though?]

I'm not originally from here, but I've been in this community for a bit over two months now. You're new, aren't you?

enjoy the heart attack.

[mastah]

Then maybe you can help me, Makoto-san! Have you see-

[ but before he can even get anything else out of his mouth, your worst nightmare came true makoto. trying to take a step forward, he took a slip on one of the roof tiles and began to fall forward, losing the grip of his umbrella in the process.

a tumble here and a roll there and he'll soon land in one of the bushes under the overhang along with that open vinyl umbrella he had but moments ago! phew, lucky that was there! but aah, he'll be fine. ]

Aahh ouch ouch ouchie-- [ but this doesn't keep him down for long, trying to struggle his way out of the shrubbery. ]

i can't believe this

[splasher]

[SURELY IT'S NOT GOING TO BE FINE]

Eh?!

[this was extremely unexpected (but he should have seen it coming!), and by the time clear's fallen into the shrubbery makoto is hurrying up the footpath to make sure he's not dead]

Clea- Clear-san!

[tries helping out, holding onto one of his arms to help him up]

Are you alright?!

[mastah]

[ with the help, he certainly did get out faster. with leaves and sticks poking out of his hair, he straightens himself out and brushes himself off. he seems to be fine. see makoto? TOTALLY FINE. ]

Yes! I'm fine. Why do you ask? [ it wasn't the first time he fell from a roof and let's just say he should be lucky it wasn't on the cold, hard ground for once (enter taylor swift song here). but right, he was asking something. wasn't he? ]

Right - You said you were here for a while, right Makoto-san? Then maybe you can help me find someone!

[splasher]

[...this guy...]

You did just fall...

[makoto sighs, already feeling exhausted (but also relieved). while he did just fall he is acting like he didn't, and no amount of prodding seemed like it would force him to admit whether he was putting up a front or not - anyway, it's not like they were close or anything.]

Well, if you say you're fine, nevermind... [he looks a little more attentive now, though still feeling slightly weirded out by the masked face he's looking at.] Yes, I - ah, who are you looking for?

[maybe that's why he was on the roof]

[mastah]

[ and right back on track to what he was saying previously, gas mask looking directly at makoto. ]

I'm looking for Master!

[ that's all he says for a few seconds. nothing specific at all, just. master. like he expects everyone to know who he is (no, he doesn't really). ]

I need to know if he's safe or not. I thought I heard him around here, but I haven't been able to find him yet. Have you seen him?

[splasher]

[--that was pretty creepy, for a scaredy-cat such as makoto.]

Uh. Master?

[it doesn't ring any bells at all]

[silence reigns until clear clarifies--but the clarification isn't much of a clarification about who 'master' is, other than the other's intentions.]

So 'master' is a guy, right? Is that his name? [immediately, he reaches in his coat's pocket to produce his phone, tapping away] If he is here he should show up on the contact list, along with the house he lives in.

[a dubious glance up, pausing] A friend?
