KEEP ROLLIN ROLLIN ROLLIN ROLLIN

[wildest]

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.

Toshizo Hijikata | Hakuouki

[It's hard to not feel uncomfortable just going outside because what the hell is this place? His first thought is yeah, maybe it's just a westernized version of everything he knows, but what are these machines that go down the road, and wow how does that kitchen light itself? It's like magic. Of course, how the hell is he supposed to know that half this shit will be invented eventually when he's from 1860s Japan?

But outside feels a lot better than inside right now, even though he totally looks out of place wearing a Japanese hakama and long hair tied back like... well some fashion is at that time.

Please bug him even though the expression on his face pretty much reads 'don't friggin' bug me'.]

oo2.

[Hearing there was a pleasure gate made him go there to get some good entertainment and maybe relax a little with some good food. And not a drink because he's the worst drunk ever. But when he gets is some crappy show of untrained entertainers? It makes him feel spoiled that a place like Shimabara exists when he wants a nice night to relax and have good entertainment. Excuse his disgusted face as he walks out of the show because this isn't what he signed up to watch.]

[ Bugging people who look like they don't want to be bugged happens to be one of this girl's specialities. And with the way Hijikaa is standing there out on the porch and the expression on his face it's pretty clear he's still new, and Minako is part of the welcoming committee and all..

.. or, well. Let's just be honest with ourselves and admit she's spotting a handsome guy, of course she's going to take her chance here. She practically bounces on her feet as she runs over to him, all smiles. ]

Hi there, sir! You sure look like you could use some help..!

[This man has nothing against women, in fact, the utter respect he has for a strong woman is through the roof -- but he does have things against annoying people. This wouldn't have happened back home and especially not back at the compound where people seem to know to stay away from him. However, he knows he's in a place where he's unfamiliar with, well, everything including the practices of the people which are all really odd to him.

Especially with a young girl coming up to him practically demanding she help him. Okay, so it's not unfamiliar, but this is definitely what he's not used to.]

I don't recall asking for help, though if you want to make yourself useful, make me a cup of tea.

[Green tea not whatever shit's in the house.

And excuse his rudeness... he's not used to this modern culture.]

[ If this scene were any more anime, Minako might actually have fallen down at that response.. while she might have been expecting a lot of things, that kind of reaction sure isn't it.

It's why she actually blankly stares at him for a moment or two (Somehow it feels natural though, doesn't it? Maybe it's his stern look or something, like he's used to ordering people around..) before she manages to recover, smiling again. ]

Making tea-- no way! [ And the only proper response is clearly to act like an idiot again.. ] I don't think we're ready for that step in our relationship just yet..!

[ Sorry, Hijikata, you just happened to run into the queen of annoying people in Holly Heights. ]

[demonlike]

[His eye clearly twitches at her response, not even trying to hide his annoyance. She said she wanted to help, and he told her how she could help like any attendant or page of his would. Clearly, she thinks of this as an act a wife would do for her husband, which makes it far more annoying. When did making tea for someone become an act of intimacy?]

I don't know how things friggin' work here, but you asked how you could help and I told you how. If that's all you have to offer, then go the hell away.

[He doesn't raise his voice, but the venom is definitely there. He's sure she has good intentions, but right now all he can hear are the Geiko's in the red-light district talking about how he should take them away one day like he did with Chizuru... one of the worst misunderstandings of his life.]

[reloves]

[ Thankfully Minako's grump resistance is a pretty decent high level by now.. not that it wasn't already pretty great to begin with (that's just what happens when you try to conquer an ice queen like Rei Hino into friendship, really) but Holly Heights only made it even stronger.

So despite the fact that Hijikata is close to glaring daggers, if not there already, Minako just smiles. She realises she'll just actually have to do this if she wants to be able to have a longer chat.. so.. fine, fine, she'll cut her losses and actually work for once.

She winks, apparently unfazed. ]

Fine, I'll make you the best tea you've ever had! I'm sure everyone will be super jealous, it's not every day that the goddess of love and beauty herself makes someone a cup of tea.. [ The worst part is that she sounds absolutely serious about everything she says. Or at least like she's convinced of it.. ]
