TEST DRIVE MEME



HOW IT WORKS:

► 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.

copypasta'd, I ain't original enough to make a new one.

[Rosalia's come to the supermarket with a few ideas for dinner in mind and the intent to try shopping around, but there's an awful lot of food around here. An awful lot of people too.

It's a little overwhelming, and all of a sudden she's acutely aware that she's never been here without her father before. But...well, she's here. Rosalia grips her shopping basket tightly and stares up at the shelves.]

Um--cereal. Right.

[One of these two dozen varieties.]

What did we used to get at home again?

[stoutland]

[What cereal did you get? Cheren's got no idea. None of the brands here are like the ones he had back home, just like most things. But that doesn't mean he's not willing to help out, even if Rosalia was just talking to herself.]

They might not have the same brands you're used to here. There's probably something similar, but why not try something new?

[healeveryone]

[Oh, someone heard her! Rosalia's face heats up a little, but she turns to face the person who's spoken up.]

Sorry! I didn't know you were there. But, um...

[She glances back at the lines of cereal boxes.]

There's a lot of new things here.

[stoutland]

No, it's my fault, I shouldn't have interrupted.

[BUT ANYWAY. he steps closer to Rosalia, turning to look at the shelf of cereals in front of them. Nothing he can recognize, nope. Though some of them just look way too artificial and bright. Jokes cereal with the rabbit on the box, lucky tokens with the short green man, all cereals that look just fake and nothing like what he knows.]

I wasn't used to these before coming here, either. I like this kind, though. [he gestures toward whatever generic sort of honey nut cheerios they have there]

[healeveryone]

Really? I'll try that then.

[That's as good as anything, right? And it's recommended. Rosalia grabs the box and puts it in her basket, sighing with relief.]

Are there this many of everything?

[stoutland]

There are. I don't know if it's because people requested so many choices or the Landlord thought that's what we want, but I guess it doesn't matter when it comes down to it.

I kind of like having so many options to choose from, to be honest. [But to follow up on that:]

Are you looking for anything else?

[healeveryone]

Um...I gotta get some stuff for dinner. Oh, and I need to get some milk too!

[stoutland]

Well, milk won't have as many options, I think. [not counting soy milk and almond milk and all those other not-cow milk...]

If you want help looking for something specific, I don't mind helping.

[healeveryone]

[Well, she's not about to turn down company.]

Really? Then do you know where the vegetables are?

[ddts]

[ though jake hardly seems like the type to go grocery shopping on behalf of the fam, he's here doing the week's food run thanks to the lady of the house. there's a whip cracking in the distance, he's sure. and judging by his near-full basket, jake's gone through most of his mental checklist of what to buy. last on the list was some good ol' milk and cereal. kids under twenty still go for that, right? ]

[ jake's about to take whatever box is more appealing at this point to get it over and done with, but the voice nearby catches his attention. ]

You forget your shopping list?

[ ooc: omgosh a rosalia *^* ]

[healeveryone]

[Someone's there? ...Right, of course, this is a supermarket. She must have missed him in the cereal panic - that's kind of embarrassing. Rosalia laughs nervously, although it helps takes her mind off her worrying.]

I didn't bring one, actually. I wanted to see what was here.

(OOC: FELLOW FAN. ♥)

[ddts]

Having trouble choosing? [ small talk over cereal, the hypest. normally jake wouldn't be the type to speak up, but he could tell she was taking her time. he'd already spotted her during his run through the market, since that hair isn't hard to miss or forget. sobbing. perks of being a merc. ] Figured everyone just went for chocolate and called it a day.

[healeveryone]

Chocolate for breakfast?

[Okay, that makes her giggle a little. But actually, she remembers seeing commercials for that stuff when she was a kid and there are more than a few cereals like that here...]

Maybe something else.

[ddts]

I meant the flavor. [ he gives a half-smile when she laughs ] Well, just don't spend your whole day choosing. Last I checked this place wasn't twenty-four hours.

[ he doesn't know if it is or isn't, either way he's just teasin sddfasdjf ]

[healeveryone]

[Right. But there's still so much to choose from!]

Uh...

[Rosalia scans the shelves for a second and picks one that doesn't seem like it'll be too bad for her.]

There! Did you want something too?

[ddts]

[ he eyes her choice, making sure it isn't out of reach for her. jake's picked out that pink special j cereal. it's pink, girly, healthy lookin, and lady of the haus would appreciate. maybe. not sure about the kids, though. ]

Me? Nah, just shopping for my place.. Just need something for, uh, the kids there. [ man that's still weird to say ]

[healeveryone]

Oh, okay! I hope they like it. I'm trying to get something for my family, too.

[Cooking is one of the things she's pretty confident with. It reminds her of...well, home.]

[saveshearts]

[Noticing her lost expression, Seto wanders over to her side. He tucks his hands into his pockets, peering in her direction.]

"Hey, need some help? If you can't reach something, I can get it down for you."

[He doesn't work here, but he's spent enough time scaling ladders and shifting products around to be unafraid of making use of the supposedly 'employees only' ladders. Besides, he can probably reach things she couldn't just due to his height. Of course, that's not actually her problem right now...]

[healeveryone]

[Oops. That's enough to snap Rosalia out of her stupor and pay attention to the boy speaking. That was a nice offer, wasn't it?]

Oh, no! It's not that they're too high, it's just a lot of cereal.

[saveshearts]

[He turns his attention back to the cereal. She's right.]

Well... How much d'you need? Might take a few trips, but I bet we could carry it all. [That's the issue...right?]

[healeveryone]

Huh?

[She looks down at her still-empty basket, then at herself and Seto, then at the cereal...oh!]

I'm sorry! Not like that. I just need one box...only there's a lot of kinds to choose from.

[saveshearts]

Oh! [Well, that was much simpler.]

What kind d'you like? Back home, we get the really sugary stuff,with marshmallows and junk. Someone must really like it. [He doesn't remember which of his housemates is the one who adores that kind of stuff, but for some reason that's what they consistently had.]

[healeveryone]

Not that.

[It's hard to remember what they had at home before, years ago. Rosalia strains to think.]

We used to have...it didn't have too much sugar. Maybe it was healthy?

[A family of doctors probably ate healthy, right? She can see her brother preferring something like that, anyway.]

[saveshearts]

Healthy, huh? [Well it's not like there's a shortage of options.] Maybe one of the kinds with fruit in?

[He pulls a box off the shelf that promises dried raspberries and... some sort of healthy wheat?] How 'bout this?

[healeveryone]

Hm...

[Hey, that looks suitably healthy. Fruit and everything.]

Yeah! I think that'll be good. Thanks a lot!
