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.

[ He's so earnest. ]

Ahaha, there's no need to thank me. [ She waves it off. ] I have some friends who like anime... Maybe I can introduce them to you if they get here. Oh, wait! I just remembered. Japan's already here, you know? Lucky!

[uphill]

[Taiwan-san... is friends with... Japan-san...? Maybe the nationality question will come sooner than he thought. He bows to her continuously.]

I'm sorry, Taiwan-san, but are you playing some sort of game? [Okay, that sounds mean. He straightens up and begins explaining himself:] I mean! You said that your name is Taiwan-san, and that you had a friend named Japan-san, but those are also names of countries too, aren't they? Not that they're bad names at all! It just seems a coincidence- I don't mean to sound rude!

[plumblossom]

[ She laughs because she's not offended at all. ]

Yeah! I'm the country.

[ congrats onoda your first anime friend is a weird person

She is the country, though... She's just smiling like this isn't strange at all. ]

[uphill]

[w....hat]

So... you are playing a game?

[plumblossom]

Ah, I am? What kind of game is it? [ Now she's confused. ]

[uphill]

[He's confused too......] You said that you're a country... but you're a person, right? And so is Japan-san?

[plumblossom]

Oh, yeah! That's right. I'm a person, but a country. [ Just... making things more confusing... ] Are you a person?

[ You never know with Holly Heights, man. ]

[uphill]

I-I think so? [He gives his chest a pat-down. The torso macarena. Existential crises everywhere] I don't feel like anything's changed, and I was a person before I came here, unless something happened that I don't know about...

But, Taiwan-san, I don't understand. Do you have little people living on you?

[plumblossom]

[ This thread is just Taiwan laughing everywhere. ]

Of course not! That would be very silly. And it'd tickle! If I had to explain it, hmm... [ She taps her chin. ] It's like I'm a personification of the country?

[uphill]

[Personification? He still doesn't get it but he's trying!!] So... Do you know what's going on in the country at all times? Is it like you're the spirit of Taiwan, or of one of its founders?

[plumblossom]

A little, yes, and no. [ Be thankful she's young enough to catch up with all of his questions... ] I'm not a goddess or anything like that! But when something big happens, I can feel it, you know? If the economy's down, I'll get sick!

Well, it's okay. Asia's going pretty strong these days!

[uphill]

[This is the strangest thing he's ever heard, surprisingly enough, but he's making an effort to understand it! It's kind of neat, even if getting sick doesn't sound fun....]

It is! [As far as high school boy Onoda understands] So you really are like an embodiment of it! So Japan-san is the same way? Is there one for every country?

[plumblossom]

[ She nods. ] Uh huh. There are some of us in Holly Heights right now, so you might get to meet them yourself!

I talk to a lot of them about anime, too. Like Vietnam! [ no ]

[uphill]

[yes] Vietnam? There are that many other countries that like anime too? [That is the weirdest thing he's ever said] Aside from you and Japan-san, I mean, but- That's amazing!

[Here, he becomes a little more withdrawn, but he's still smiling and hopeful?] Do you- Do you think I could meet them?

[plumblossom]

Why not? I'm sure they'd love to meet you! [ But Taiwan, you never think anything can go wrong... ]

[uphill]

They would? Ah, I hope so! Should I- Should I bring them gifts? Is that proper to do when you meet a country? --I'll get one for you too, Taiwan-san, of course! But would that be respectful for when I meet a country? There are so many out there! How will I know what to buy? [RAMBLING OFF TO HIMSELF....]

[plumblossom]

[ Just... places a hand on his shoulder. ]

Onoda.

[uphill]

Yes?

[Like a startled deer.]

[plumblossom]

Don't worry about it.

Everything... [ Then, she beams at him. ] will definitely be alright!

[ YEAH. JUST KEEP QUOTING ANIME. ]

[uphill]

[Was that SAKURA-CHAN...]

...Right. You're right! You've been nice since I met you. I just have to be polite. Thank you. I'm sorry about going off like that.

[plumblossom]

[ Indeed it was. ]

It's okay. [ She hums and glances at the store window again. ] Were you gonna go in?

[uphill]

[He gives a little, nervous laugh.] I probably shouldn't, since I'm trying to save up money to buy a new road racer, but it's hard not to want to... One look can't hurt, can it?

[plumblossom]

I guess not! [ Look, she'll open the door for him. ] Ahaha, I'm trying to save up for something good myself...

Road racer? You bike, too?

[uphill]

[What a polite lady.]

I do, yeah! I've only started biking seriously recently, but I've always liked it. I never thought I could like it as much as I do now, though. Do you bike too, Taiwan-san?

[He'll at least get this question out before he goes and fawns over all the anime stuff in this store.]

[plumblossom]

[ She'll look around as they talk, too. These Bluray sets look nice. Cast commentary, subtitles and dual audio, ooh. She wonders if it keeps honorifics. ]

Uh huh, but only for fun, and not as much as the Netherlands. He's really crazy about bikes! Vietnam likes cycling, too. It's easy 'cause there's a lot of flat land where she's from. My place is full of mountains... climbing the roads with a bike is hard, but I think that's what makes it fun.
