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.

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.

[uphill]

[Onoda busies himself nearby, trotting up to the capsule machines like a happy five year-old, his balled up hands over his mouth. What kinds of animes do they have capsules for?

--More importantly! Onoda turns back to look at Taiwan, stunned. ;_; Perfect friend. She is the perfect friend.]

C-Climbing the mountains with my bike- [He's so excited to speak that he can't, give him a moment.] I love climbing hills! Being a climber, riding and racing up slopes with my friends--I think it's more fun than anything else! [Except anime, of course. He takes a step towards her from the capsules, his fists brought to his chest in his excitement.] Do all of you still bike here too? Maybe we can all go together!

[plumblossom]

[ Taiwan looks up from the box she's holding, surprised. Onoda must really love bikes! She's never seen anyone else so eager. She looks up and hums in thought for a moment. Well, there's nothing else to do, not much going on, and she's always looking for ways to kill boredom... ]

Sure, why not? I'd love to go! Netherlands isn't here, but Vietnam will definitely be interested. [ JUST GONNA DRAG HER INTO THINGS AGAIN. ] Do you have friends here who bike, too?

[uphill]

[GOOD. Onoda is beaming!] Makishima-san was in the bicycle racing club with me back at Sohoku High School! We're actually trying to get the bicycle club back at the high school here. I'm sure he'll come if I tell him! [DRAGGING MAKISHIMA INTO THIS TOO.] I'm so excited! I haven't ridden with a group since I got here!

[plumblossom]

Me neither, but at least we do now, right? It's always funner to do the things you love with friends. [ It's why she drags her friends into her hobbies at every opportunity. ] Well, I need to get a bike first! Can you wait until then?
