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.

Just copypasta-ing from people on the meme comm

I was too busy with Bert to do that. [Bert is what she's decided to call the kangaroo she's been petting. He looks like a Bert.

She's fairly defensive as she looks up at England, crossing her arms over her chest.]

Most of these animals are rubbish anyway. Do you know where the crocs are?

[sod]

Then next time you should probably wait until you're finished with ... Bert.

[Slightly judging her for that name, but there we go.]

I would say go to the other zoo. This one is Holly Heights' original, however Hong Kong seems to have set up one of his own which has a wider variety.

[wyme]

'Didn't wanna be rude! [To Bert, that is.

Which is a terrific name, fyi.]

Can you pet the animals over there too? [CAN SHE PET A CROC?]

[sod]

And what do you think you ended up doing? [Being rude!

Because Bert probably didn't appreciate her loud voice so close to his ear. Gosh.]

Well, I suppose it depends on the animal and whether someone certified is close by. It wouldn't do to have you lose an arm, now would it?

[wyme]

Being a little bit loud, I guess. [A shrug. She wasn't yelling at Bert!]

That wouldn't happen to me. I'm good with all animals. [Australia let her ride crocs and pet sharks all the time, okay.

(Well. Maybe not ride them, per-say. But she could get pretty close to them! And Australia does that sort of thing all the time, anyway.)]

[sod]

And next time, what will you do? [Hopefully not yell--

but, his face shifts a little at that. Thankfully he can't hear her thoughts on this, because Australia is completely off his rocker and gives him heart attacks so-]

Good with animals doesn't equate to being invincible you know. If anything were to happen at the moment, you would be fully injured. No enhanced healing.

[wyme]

Probably make sure you're not around. [Muttered quietly, but no doubt loud enough for him to hear.]

Animals don't hurt me! I played with pythons all the time back home, y'know.

[sod]

And how do you suppose you'll manage that? [He sighs heavily and this time looks a little concerned she's not taking this seriously.]

This isn't the same as home.

[wyme]

[H u f f. She shrugs. Wy is currently more concerned about how against great and wild Australian animals England seems to be.]

Australia'd still let me-- I mean, I'd do it anyway because I'm mature enough and he's an a bit of an idiot, but he wouldn't complain.

[sod]

[You'd be the same if you woke up with them in your bed-- wait.]

Yes well... [The frown on his face shows his OBVIOUS DISAPPROVAL.] He isn't exactly the best at managing insightful decisions. If there's someone who can keep watch, they might not mind, but you mustn't get mad again if they say no.

[wyme]

[She used to wake up with possums and koalas in her bed all the time. No issues here!]

I wasn't mad. [She's just used to getting her way.]

I bet if you came with me and explained how used to the animals I am, they might let me.

[Hint: take her to that zoo and let her swim with crocodiles.


...Please?]

[sod]

[They aren't poisonous spiders and snakes, Wy! Also ... as vicious as they can be, they're also cute :( ]

Of course. [Though he seems to consider her "request". Unlike her, animals aren't exactly his best friend -- but he's also a sucker for cute children. What a life-]

Very well. I suppose we might as well ask.

[wyme]

[Spiders and snakes can be pretty cute too, y'know! Though admittedly she doesn't like being around them so much unless she's fully awake.]

Ta! [She's surprised, and England gets a rare smile for his troubles as Wy begins walking toward the exit.] Did you bring your car?

[sod]

[I won't lie ... tiny snakes are adorable, as are tiny spiders but the big ones? N o p e.

But exactly, they can be a little frightening okay.]

It's in the parking lot, yes. As Taiwan is no longer here, and the landlord hasn't seen to put another person in her place, the car is essentially mine.

[run for your life tbh]

[wyme]

[The big ones are cute too! When you're awake. And have Australia an expert to help out.]

'Kay. Come on, then!

[She leads the way to England's car, none the wiser.]

Remember to tell them how I'm used to playing with those kind of animals. No one even needs to watch me, I could totally do it by myself.

[sod]

[Yes exactly, when you're awake and when that hooligan is there!]

Hardly. If they insist on having someone watch over you I won't tell them otherwise. [a pause, and he tries to be stern] And nor will you.

[Oh look here's his car - thankfully he hasn't tried to paint it with an awful union jack or something, that'd be embarrassing, though there is a set of those dumb car dice hanging from the mirror.]

Now, in you get.

[wyme]

[A huff and a pout. Don't be stern!] Whatever.

[If anything, had he painted the car like that she would probably have just found it endearing, though the union jack wouldn't have been her first choice. If you ever want this car painted somewhat more artistically than that however, she's your girl!

She's gets in, still making her case to England.]

I could easily do it myself though. I know more about animals than you do, I bet. And I'm a recognised nation-- I'm more mature than the micronations and I'm totally old enough.

[Wy, no, you're nine years old.]

[sod]

[But he always tries too hard. Though please, as cool it'd be if this was an old mini with the union jack, it's the only time it'd happen. He's not America (eyeroll). Though something to make it stand out would probably nice.

As long as it's not flowers or hearts.]

You're hardly "old enough". [A sigh as he gets in as well, starting the car up.]

Now fasten your seatbelt and I'll take you there.

[wyme]

[Try dolphins and koalas! Or how about a unicorn on the bonnet? Would that work? She thinks that'd look nice.]

I am so. I'm more grown up than Sealand is. [Wy has technically been around over fifty years, y'know! Even if she personally wasn't around back then.

She does as she's told anyway.]

[sod]

[A unicorn would be pretty cool, let's be real here.]

Not a difficult feat, I'm sure you're aware.

[And it's not always about actual numbers either, really! Just throwing tantrums really is childish, Wy.

P.S. Hold on for dear life starting now, can't be tamed]
