KEEP ROLLIN ROLLIN ROLLIN ROLLIN

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.

(ooc: OKAY just making sure!!)

Practice? [Oh he's looking.] Practice for what?

[canjump]

Well, I'm a spiker! I'm called the Ultimate Decoy by the team!

[And though that doesn't sound like a title you should be proud of, he's saying it with a lot of confidence. It's a learned confidence... Maybe here he can be the ace in a sport meant for taller people. Be prepared for some energetic talking, new friend.]

I don't know what the setter's like here, and I'll still practice with them... But I'd love to practice outside too! So you just need to toss to me! It's just like tossing a ball into the air and then I'll be like BAM and hit it! It sounds great!

[uphill]

[Onoda has no idea how volleyball works, so he's thinking that being a spiker/decoy is probably SUPER IMPORTANT with how Hinata is making it sound.]

That's amazing! You even have a title! [Again, titles are like badges in Yowapeda. Then Onoda deflates.] But Shouyou-kun, I'd like to throw for you, but I don't think I'll be able to do it very far. I've never really been good at other sports...

[canjump]

[It's SUUUUPER important!!!! He preens himself proudly - he's got a title, hell yeah - and shakes his head.]

That's okay! In middle school, I didn't have a proper setter or even a real club for volleyball, so i kept bugging my friends to practice with me! They were into different sports and they weren't that good at tossing, but it was okay because they still tried. And I hit them just fine! All you gotta do is keep trying one more time!

[Aka u gonna be fine kid he's hit worse tosses. Like impossible, had to run across the court to hit them diagonally tosses.]

[uphill]

But-... [He can keep insisting that he'll just drop the ball two feet away or do something embarrassing, but Hinata is telling him to at least try, and it can't hurt, right? Even if he's had bad experiences before... And he's making a friend now! He can't pass this up!! Onoda breathes in deeply and nods.]

Okay. I'll try! [ALL SERIOUS.] I don't think I have much to do after school except biking and homework, so... I'll do my best! [Now he'll reach into his back and pull out a small stack, offering them with a hesitant little smile.] Thank you, Shouyou-kun.

[canjump]

[Yes!! He'll take the stack, grinning enthusiastically.]

Of course!! And I'll do whatever I can to help you, too~! So just say if you need something! [And they can trade phone numbers. He's taking out his cell phone as he speaks!! Good thing it doesn't conflict with him holding the papers much, though it might as well with out he's scrambling to keep them together.] Let's trade numbers, too! So we can text each other and stuff! I'm kinda bummed I don't have my friends' numbers on here anymore anyway.

[uphill]

[Changing phone numbers-! The club exchanged numbers for the sake of Kinjou's texts, but he and Naruko had already planned on exchanging phone numbers in the first place. This is what real friends do! Onodo fishes his phone from his own pocket, sobering up a bit at Hinata's last statement.]

I know how you feel. I feel sad about not having my friends' phone numbers either. [He looks back to Hinata with a hopeful little smile.] But that means we just have to find more friends here, right?

[Looking back to his phone.] I should be in your contact list! Sakamichi Onoda, O-N-O-D-A. I'm in house [INSERT HOUSE NUMBER HERE]. And you're... Hinata Shouyou. How do you spell your last name, Shouyou-san?

[canjump]

Right!! And then we'll introduce our new friends to our old friends, because the guy who's my setter stick in the mud [He's not, Kageyama is very fun to talk to and play with and against, but Hinata enjoys complaining.] and he's not very good with talking and stuff [Yelling on the other hand, so good at.] so he could definitely use help in the friend department, since I don't think he's got a single one!

[Besides the team. But that's just obvious. He takes the time to put in his new friend's before giving his own, because Hinata is single track minded and he'll get distracted otherwise.]

H-I-N-A-T-A! House [# here]! It doesn't sound like we're really far apart, so we can totally ride to school together and stuff!

1/2

[uphill]

I have a friend like that at home too. [Imaizumi, specifically. Onoda beams.] He's not always friendly, but I think he's a better friend than he knows. And his biking is amazing! Yeah, let's help all of our friends get friends! [This kinship between sports teams is something he's totally new to, but he's starting to understand it a little more now.

--UH BUT. WAIT A SECOND.]

[uphill]

[WAIT A SECOND!!!]

Y-Y-Your last name is Hinata?! [HE THOUGHT THAT WAS HIS FIRST NAME ;_; Onoda steps back and bows profusely! His flyers are even starting to slip out of his bag.] I'm sorry, Hinata-kun! I've been calling you by the wrong name this whole time! I'm sorry!

[canjump]

[This guy doesn't see an issue. At all. Both his names sound like first names after all. Hinata shrugs, then shakes his head.]

I don't mind at all? We're friends, right? And you're a first year too! Right? [Hopeful. So hopeful. He made the mistake of thinking another short person had been in his year, when he'd actually been his senior. But the other guy didn't like the whole "sports hierarchy" thing so they call each other by first names.]

[uphill]

I am, but... it's not proper, is it? We only just met. [He doesn't even call Naruko, who is undoubtedly the closest friend he has, by his first name.] You're really alright with it?

[canjump]

No problems here! If you don't like to do that though, you can call me whatever. I don't mind~!

[uphill]

Okay... Shouyou-kun. [Somehow, saying it feels different and improper now..... Hopefully that wears off with time.] I'm sure I'll get used to it. But you can keep calling me Sakamichi too, in that case?

[His mom usually calls him that, but if he can get used to being called "Megane-kun," he can get used to someone calling him by his first name, right?]
