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.

[Rei flinches in sympathy when he sees Nico run smack into the wall and almost steps on the cellphone he was just about to pick up, wondering if somebody might have lost it.

Walking over, he offers him his hand.]

You know, I don't think whatever you were trying to do worked. What were you trying to do?

[skiodis]

[Nico ignores the offered hand with a frown, scrambling to his feet on his own, his face scrunching up as he makes sure his nose is still in the place it's supposed to be.]

Yeah, I noticed! And it's none of your business what I was trying to do.
[Top secret business, and all that, clearly.]

[jyajyaaan]

[He blinks at the rejection and draws his hand back, but looks more curious about it rather than bothered.]

Alright. [Have another thoughtful stare because running smack into a wall is hella strange even for the things Rei's used to by now.] Are you human?

[skiodis]

[Yeah, that question is just going to stop Nico dead in his tracks. His reaction of surprise is more telling than anything he could say, really.]

... Why wouldn't I be?

[jyajyaaan]

[Huh. That's an interesting response.]

Because you ran straight into a wall as if you had a purpose? [He beams.] See, pretty much all humans I know wouldn't do that but since this place has some aliens who look like humans too, and some of them have strange powers back where they come from- [smile] Did I guess right?

[skiodis]

[Nico just sort of looks at the other boy for a long hard minute than anything. Losing his powers seems to have robbed him of his overt aura of creepiness, but he's still got a bit of an "off" look in his eyes, like he's been through far more than most people his age and has a few screws permanently loose as a result.]

Yeah, something like that.
[Still keeping it vague, just because his powers are gone doesn't assure that there won't still be monsters.]

[jyajyaaan]

[The look is enough to send Rei fidgeting and averting his eyes for a moment, but in the end his nature as a human version of a puppy wins over any worries of having said something wrong and he returns it with the look of somebody who'd follow you through all levels of hell as long as that means you'll let him stay by your side at the end.]

Awesome. [Rather than excited his comment is warm and welcoming and just a tiny bit knowing.] You're new here, right? If you're the kind of alien that means no harms to humans I can maybe tell you a way how to get some of your powers back.

[skiodis]

[Following him through hell is a startingly non-metaphorical possibility when you're dealing with Nico!! In any case, it hadn't fully sunk in yet that he was without his powers, but now that it's been said aloud, it's obvious to Nico that that's what had happened. He seems to think about it for a moment. Demigod powers can be nice sometimes, really, when he'd first been introduced to the idea he'd thought it was really cool. But having them, having Hades for a father, hadn't it brought him far more trouble than it had good things?]

... I'm not sure I want them back.

[jyajyaaan]

[He gives him a brief surprised look before he smiles brightly.]

Then that's fine too! Sometimes it's hard to say if it's for the best or the worst to get involved with things like that. [For a moment he looks as if he wants to add something, but then he just shakes his head minimally and smiles again. There's no point getting yet another alien involved in the mess with the Numbers. especially when Rei is nowhere near majorly involved with it himself in the first place and Nico might not even know what they are.] Thinking positive, there's nothing here that says that you can't take as much time with deciding whether you want them or not as you want.

I'm Rei Shingetsu by the way. What's your name, Mr. alien?

[skiodis]

[Rei's overwhelming positivity washes over Nico for a moment. He's not used to it, so he's sort of stunned by it for a moment before he can respond.]

It's Nico di Angelo... and I'm not an alien.
[He's pretty sure he isn't, anyway.]

[jyajyaaan]

Nico di Angelo [He repeats the name, testing it's taste on his tongue. Yes, he could get used to this.] It's a pleasure meeting you, Angel-kun. Even if you're not really an alien.

[He winks to show that he is joking before he remembers something and pulls Nico's discarded cell phone out of his pocket.] That reminds me, this wouldn't happen to be yours? I found over there.

[skiodis]

[Angel-kun... What even.]
My name is Nico. And no, I don't own a cellphone.

[The fact that he found it on his person when he woke up is obviously completely irrelevant.]
