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.

Copypasted, as usual.

Comments

Speaking of test drives....

[beyondfalsehope]

[ Machina was against the teachings.

Machina served as reason why Spira was punished by Sin.

Machina sure had been a lot of things, but now that the Eternal Calm had been born? More than anything, it was a mystery to her. And one she had intended to uncover. The fascination had only been further prompted by Rikku. Well, and perhaps someone else. But Rikku definitely had a lot to do with it.

And now how she wished Rikku were there. She was still holding on tight to the steering wheel of the car, braced for the worst. Though the worst had already come. Outside, the hood smoked and one of the headlights flickered. The perfectly lined white picket fence now leaned away distastefully where the impact had occurred. White knuckles clutched tighter and hasty breathing filled the silence in the driver's seat. ]

[rockhop]

[ Nagisa, still a freshman driver and still not that great, had been on his way home from work in the family car when he'd seen it all go down. He stops pretty much in the middle of the street, parks and gets out (he doesn't know how to parallel park yet), running over to the crash site with wide eyes. ]

Hey! Are you okay?!

[ Leaning all around, trying to peek inside the car and see if anybody is hurt. ]

[motivating]

[ Oh.

That can't be good.

Syaoran himself had never driven the devices here (or maybe because he was underage), but it wasn't unlikely to see them rolling down the streets as he went to work. However, this was something he had yet to see. And as the concerned citizen that he was, the boy was the first to drop everything to see what was the matter.

People drive those things, and someone could be hurt...!! ]

Hello? Excuse me! [ Slightly panicked, Syaoran will notice the female in the driver's seat. Oh gosh, oh no- ] Are you alright-!?

Momo Kisaragi | Kagerou Project

[captivators]

ota, i guess! i don't mind!

a, housing area [ There's one very unamused teen contemplating her life experiences on the lawn of her housing, muttering unexpected words under her breath. Within the clutches of her hands sits a paper, one which the idol has barely studied over. ]

Why do I have to read any of this? [ Hands move to cover the lobes of her ears, strained words piercing through her tone; annoyingly spreading force of action down one's throat. ] If I digested it, like any manga hero would— I'd understand it better!

[ Voicing her opinions loud and clear by all means. ]

(I couldn't resist...!)

[kagerous]

-- Why would you digest it?!

[ standing before her is none other than Hibiya, looking unamused and slightly weirded out, as he holds a copy of the lease in one hand -- he also hasn't yet read it, so... ]

I thought I wouldn't see you again, "Auntie", but...

[ his face falls a bit, remembering... how he met her, and very shortly after; a certain commotion and how he strangely came to be here... he quickly shakes his head before he can get emotional. It was too freaky to be real, what had happened!! And he hasn't seen Hiyori yet -- and -- what even happened, to her and him? -- ]

[ in a somewhat more serious tone, now, as he tries to push those thoughts out of his mind ] ...It seems we're both stuck, here.

[ and then?! ] [ looking more insistent, and almost as if he's judging her, he holds out his paper. ]

...I can read it to you if you can't! It looks important.

[deceiving_eye]

[Kano isn't too surprised to see the girl or to hear some of the rambling from her. She was always entertaining for him, but now it was even funnier.

A little rude he leans against the fence as he begins to laugh on the other side.]

Kukuku, Momo-chan you really say interesting things.

Serena | Pokemon Gameverse

[customizing]

a}}

[This whole alternate universe or other world thing kinda sucks.

It's a new place to explore, with new faces to meet, but honestly, the bad is kind of outweighing the good here. Oh sure, there's new fashions, cute little skirts and tops that she's been eyeballing in the Shopping Gate ever since she got here. But are they taking her money or even recognizing the currency? Nope. They won't accept a cent of what she carried with her from home.

Which coupled with the whole 'no Pokemon exist here' thing, makes this place doubly lame. Sure, she could get a job. The waitresses around Kalos always seemed to enjoy their work, but honestly, battle prize money was much easier to deal with and Serena's never held a real job before in her life.

So right now, she's trying to make the best of it and is either mulling about and window shopping in the shopping district with her very bored Delphox in tow, or she's moping about the whole situation on a park bench.]

b}}

[Some people ride their bikes to school. Some, drive cars or rollerblade.

Very, very few actually ride a living being to school. But that's just how Serena rolls as she has her Gogaot gallop onto the achool's campus. Sure, she gets stared at... a lot, but she could only do this in a few select places back home, so why not take advantage of the free reign here?]

B

[competition]

[ There's a reason why you can only ride your Gogoat in certain cities. It may have to do with the civilians' safety!! Because Red is just walking by and happens to get trampled over. Pikachu luckily abandoned ship quickly before he met the same fate as his trainer... Still, Pikachu lets out a large cry of terror. ]

PIIIIIIIIIKAAAAAAA!!

[ The sound of the world's tiniest violin should play on the background. ]

Ow.

A

[stoutland]

[Shopping isn't something Cheren really enjoyed doing, unless it was for books or something along those lines. But when he needed something, he needed something and there was no getting around that. Like today, with the weather getting warmer, he decided he needed warmer clothing than what he'd had for the past few months. And he was rather focused on that task until he noticed that girl and her Delphox looking in at various stores.

Not that he knows what a Delphox is or anything, he's never seen anything quite like that before. But it has his attention, that's for sure.]

Excuse me. That... wouldn't happen to be a Pokemon with you, would it?

a

[isthebest]

[ TOTALLY GOING TO HAVE A POKEMON IN THIS SCENARIO TOO.

And it's the scenario of being at the park Green's come to let Pidgeot stretch his wings - which he can do anywhere he wants, really, but he doesn't trust most of the people in this place and he wants to get out of the house.

So he's come to the park! And fortunately there's not any kids around to be asking questions about his bird. But he does see Serena - or more specifically her Delphox, who he gets a better look of as he approaches the two. Why not. It's a free park. ]

What's that? [ He's got a hand in his jacket pocket, look at the creature. You know what, let's risk it- ] A pokémon?

Luke Fon Fabre | Tales of the Abyss | silly scenario but it makes me laugh oops

[replicatedflame]

[ He's not sure what to think of this place. There are no monsters to fight against. There isn't even his own sword for him to practice, something unthinkable, although he has tried to fashion a wooden sword out of sticks with sketchy success. It... doesn't quite look like a sword, and quite honestly, it would break at Luke's mildest attack, but it was something.

The machines around weren't the same. There was no one he recognized anywhere. Gray people walked around - what he thought were monsters at first - and mostly ignored him. ]

What the hell is going on!? [ He's annoyed and concerned. There's so much that he still had to do, he can't afford to be wandering around doing nothing! He needs to find everyone! The replicas- he needs to do his best, make up for his mistake, and this doesn't make any sense... ]

Where is everybody!? [ Meanwhile, poor innocent you might be walking around going somewhere. You might just be hanging out. All you know is that there's a red headed kid standing in the middle of the street, holding up a stick as he glares at a car as if he would be able to stop it with free will alone, utterly determined. ] Stop this ship right now!

this made me laugh

[marionetto]

[ Anise wasn't planning on going out today, but she needed to get groceries. With Tokunaga on her back and wearing orange shorts and frilly white tank top instead of Oracle Knights uniform, she was taking her time getting back home. There wasn't any rush and today was really just a relaxing day.

.. until she hears a familiar voice. One that she didn't want to hear, or rather didn't expect. She hadn't heard it since she betrayed Ion.

...

Play it cool, Anise. ]

Luke? [ a beat ] That isn't a ship! [ She'll wave at the driver to ignore him and continue on their way. ]

ringabel | bravely default

[inamorate]

( a: housing gate )
[An oddly dressed young man with a carefully moussed (and massive) pompadour is slowly striding along the sidewalk, open book in hand. He glances down at it every once in a while, but mostly he's scanning his surroundings.

Then he stops, gives a small hum in thought, tips open your mailbox, and peers inside.

What do you do?]

( b: shopping gate )
[It's difficult to miss Ringabel standing in the middle of the sidewalk, gazing pensively at a shopping window. He shifts on his hips, one hand at his elbow and the other pressed over his chin. He watches the window as if something on it were written in a different language, and he is the only man on the planet who can decipher it.

But why be so intent on studying a window showcasing mannequins in women's fashion? He clicks his tongue and mutters aloud:]

But if the eye is meant to trace the bust through the low neckline and not the woman's entire shape, why clinch it so high at the waist? Not to mention that belt is much too ornate. It's nearly gaudy.

[Stop talking, Ringabel.]

a

[rockhop]

[ is....... is that the mailman?? that's not the mailman... is it?? come to think of it, he's never seen the mailman before. he hops the backyard fence and strolls over, trying to decide if it's normal for mailmen to have pompadours. i mean, don't they wear uniforms?? and have... bags? with mail in it? maybe the book is the mail??

highly questionable. only one way to find out. ]

Are you the mailman?

[ straight and to the point. ]

B.

[nagyka]

[ She's just close enough that she believes that he is speaking to her. If she'd kept moving, Quistis may have thought otherwise... but she's the only one around, so he either has a habit of talking to himself out loud or he's asking a woman's opinion.

She rests a hand on her hip and gestures with the other, fingers swirling. ]

The eye is meant to be drawn to wherever the wearer wants it to be. While clothing is obviously meant to be pleasing, most people dress for themselves and not those looking at them.

[ Translation: it's not about you. ]

saruhiko fushimi • k

[miscolor]

[ And this is Fushimi here at the pleasure gate... It looks like there's a play in order, but he isn't exactly enjoying it. Despite his obvious boredom and slight irritantance at the execution of said play, he stays seated until there's intermission since that's possibly the only way to do this without drawing attention to himself. Little does he know that there's no intermission!!!

He is here... Dying ever so slowly while having to watch this train wreck. With a click of his tongue, he finally says something though it might as we'll be a mutter. ]

If I wanted to suffer, I would have just gone to one of those group bonding exercises. [ NO ONE ASKED YOU TO BE HERE, but he can't get himself to leave yet. Go ahead call him a whiner. ]

[heelstomp]

[Welp. Chie's not exactly enjoying it either, but plays weren't really her thing to begin with. Something about watching a bunch of people stand still and recite lines robotically just goes right over her head. Not enough action. Now, if that guy in the middle with the poofy pants suddenly dropkicked someone...!!!

She's close enough to catch Fushimi's comment, and she almost lets herself laugh at how she had more or less the same thought moments before. She has enough respect (hopefully) to turn to him with a slight cringe instead.]

It's not that bad. I mean, at least the costumes are nice, right? And the music, and... [yeah she's got nothing]

chie satonaka (persona 4)

[heelstomp]

assumed / no cr

Geez... Just my luck, huh...

[Seeing Chie outdoors isn't terribly unusual, but seeing her looking anything less than cheery and bounding all around the place is decidedly out of the norm for a girl as boisterous as she is. Whatever's got her in a slightly less chipper mood than usual, though, seems to dissipate in an instant when she sees you, possibly unsuspecting citizen exhibit one; she raises a hand in a wave and makes a beeline straight for you.]

Oh-- hey! Th-This is a little sudden, but... You wouldn't happen to have some spare change, would you? It's just, I heard there's a really great deal going on at the steakhouse in town, and I just gotta try it! The thing is, I... kinda left my credit card at home, so...

[That's not to imply that she'd have any cash on the card even if it was with her, mind. Still, she's obviously feeling a little guilty for having to ask. She laughs nervously.]

It's just a couple of bucks, yeah? I promise I'll pay you back pronto.

CHIEEE also would assumed cr be ok?

[sympathy]

Ah, Satonaka-san!

[ This is surprising, the other girl always seem to be in an upbeat mood. ]

I haven't checked how much I have on my card, but yeah, I don't mind. [ She's going through her bag for her wallet. ] How much would you be borrowing?

Tsubomi Kido | Kagerou Project

[kakusu]

[ well... if anything, this definitely was interesting. it was a pain to have been taken so rudely from the middle of a mission into a strange city, but there was no reason for Kido to lose her cool - even if she had lost her powers. the only thing to do was analyze the situation, find the other members of the Mekakushi Dan, and possibly find a way out.

A. housing gate

her first exploration point is here, seeing as it's where she woke up. if you're passing by this neck of the neighbourhood, you'll see a sullen-looking girl with a high collar and her hood up as she reads over the lease. her initial appearance practically screams "suspicious and weird", but maybe there's more to it... wait, is she looking at you?

B. pleasure gate

once she's gotten the low-down on the lease and her current whereabouts, Kido decides to explore a bit on foot. it's a bit uncomfortable for her to be out like this and not concealed, but it can't be helped. her iPod is in her ears, and that's good enough.

unfortunately, that means that she's a little unaware of her immediate surroundings. her presence is a little easy to miss on its own, so you may find yourself suddenly bump into her. ]

-! [ she stumbles a bit as an earbud falls out of her ear, but quickly regains her composure. ] ...Sorry.

[apps]

[I see your weird looking kid in a hoodie and I raise you one normal looking kid in a weird looking hoodie. It's coincidence that Hiro's got the abnormally large bunny-ish flaps of his own jacket sitting proudly atop his head and not hanging loosely at his back when he notices her staring at him and stops mid-step, but something about it makes his returned stare seem almost... unnerving.

He's just going to stand there. Watching. And then:]

... ¿Cómo se llama?

623 / Mutsumi Hojo | Sergeant Keroro

[goroawase]

A.
[Hey do you own this house? Because you might want to check your roof. There's a kid there, and like the wise guy he is, he's lying there with a sketchbook propped on his knee. He doesn't seem to care that he could fall any minute there, more interested in drawing some sort of weird caricature in his sketchbook.

How the hell did he get up there anyways.]

B.
[This time, he could be found lying on a park bench and...

he fell asleep there.]

minatsuki takami | Deadman Wonderland

[whipsandchains]

[What the fuck?

Where the hell was she now? This wasn't the jail, this wasn't...anything she knew of. It was too peaceful, too cheerful, the collar around her neck-

Wait.

Where was her collar?

Her hands groped her neck and found that it was pleasantly bare. There wasn't even a mark.]

It's...gone...

[A smile came to her face and a giggle shook her body as tears of joy came down her face. She was free. She didn't care how or why it happened, but it did. She was out of that horrible place, and best of all she could do whatever the hell she wanted now. The only problem was...she didn't one where she was. She needed some poor sap to help her out there. She put on her most pitiful looking face, making the happy tears in her eyes seem like one of fear or sadness.

Surely someone would help this poor, lonely little girl.]

[rollin]

[ Well, here's a sucker. Yata looks both ways to see if anyone else was around to help, but it looks like it's just him and Minatsuki. This is bad... He doesn't know how to deal with girls, much less crying ones. But if she's in trouble, then he has to try!

He approaches her with caution. ]

Um, hey. [ He weakly raises his hand to catch her attention. ] Are you okay?

PARKER LUCIANI | RESIDENT EVIL

[axecellent]

A.

day 1:
- woke up on lawn chair. kidnapped. apparently playing house? haven't met family yet.
- had a reuben sandwich for lunch. sauerkraut too sour (sauer?).
- still can't locate weapons. have been told they can be "regained" if i speak to "the landlord".
- set-up?
- found a good burger place.
- nice suburban house. bit eerie.
- looks like i'm stuck here.

B.

[ During the event because I do what I want!! Parker swings his axe down on a deer and there's a sharp crack and it ilicits something between a growl and yelp. He tightens both of his hands around the base and grunts as he yanks it out of the mangled flesh then brings it down again, nearly severing the creature's head from its neck. It falls silent and gurgles sickly as blood spills from the wound. He motions to lift the axe from the mass of splintered bone and gore again but is met with a rumbling sound coming from behind him and the guttural roar of a bear. With little time to react and his options slim, he lets go of his weapon and does the first thing that comes to mind.

He reels back and clotheslines the bear.

Immediately, he goes for the eyes and blinds it, barely keeping his arm as he fall back to the ground while the bear advances with wild swings and moves on instinct as it searches for its prey. Still on the forest floor, Parker crab-crawls backward to the corpse he's left and jerks his axe out of it. ]

Hey, over here! [ As he shouts, he lifts his arm and puts forth all his upper body strength into chucking his trusty axe up and forward. The bear hardly has time to react before the blade hits it square above the eyes and embeds itself past its skull. It stumbles forward and Parker gets to his feet and moves backward in anticipation for its next move. When he realizes he's won the battle and it is falling to the ground, he lets out a jovial laugh. ] I just bearly made it out of that one, ha ha!

[ Probably should get his axe, but he's busy pulling out a cookie. Wrestling with forest creatures really whets an appetite... ]

B

[goroawase]

[While 623 can just easily shout at the man to stop, or even conjure up a spell to stop the carnage- the fact is that he simply stand there and watched as the bear's movements became slower with each attack. He isn't entirely sure who made the first attack, the bear probably? Too late to make any judgement, the bear stops moving by the final blow on it's skull.

Sick~ I couldn't bear the thought if I were in that position.

[Although in honesty, he's a bit sick from looking at the fight But, right now's survival of the fittest, after all.]

RIDER | FATE/ZERO

[devastate]

Hrmmm ...

[ On this shining and tranquil morning, there's a giant standing in somebody's yard, scratching his chin as he studies its corresponding house in thought. There's no mistaking him: he towers, with a sledgehammer slung over his shoulder and a t-shirt with the world's gaudiest motto stretched over his chest.

Meanwhile, the house and yard are probably:

A. yours
B. a close friend's
C. owned by someone who's kind of ticked you off lately.

What do. ]

You there! Tell me: have you claimed this house as your own?

[craterface]

[What can Ruby do except to just stand her and look very nervous as she stares up at that humongous dude with the goofy shirt? No need to rush to school, nope.]

Claimed? Well, not really? I mean, I do live here, but um...I'm just told to live here. [shrugs] Or something like that. Why do you ask?

[rollin]

[ what

did you just

oh my god

It's his turn to stop in his tracks. ]

I was gonna say more but someone tired me out! [ Well, no, he's obviously not tired. ] But fine. You wanna hear more?

[ He looks down for a second. ]

The landlord's strong. We can't take him down alone.

kousuke seto | kagerou project

[wasbullied]

A. housing

[It wasn't bad waking up in a lawn chair! It was bright and sunny, the best kind of day to take a nap outside. Honestly, he'd been about to roll over and sleep a little longer -- you know, if it wasn't the weird house in front of him and the keys that just fell out of his hand. Ah.

Curious, he'd wandered up to the front door, tilted his head at the taped envelope there and wondered why they had his name on them. Then, he knocked. He must have found someone's keys! When no one answered, he sat the keys next to the bottom of the door, hoping they'd be okay, their owner would probably be back shortly looking for them after all.

He curled his arms behind his head and started walking. Guess he better figure where he is. This neighborhood doesn't look familiar at all.]
