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 as per usual

ENABLE MEME

There are multiple ways to use this post:

• PLAYERS IN GAME: post who you'd like to play next round or who you're unsure of playing, and then let other people auction your soul off at an affordable price gently push you into the direction of actually apping them come the new app cycle (concrete details later on that).
• OR YOU COULD: Ask for castmates, be you in a cast or a lone canon warrior. Think of it like a kind of in game ATP ad.
• IF YOU DON'T EVEN GO HERE: You might want to? If you do, feel free to post with your account, a picture, whatever you want and let us take you under our wing so you can be a part of our large, rowdy family.
  
  So let the fun begin!

[ if italy were a smoother guy he would've caught this, if he were a smoother guy he could've looked cooler all this time. but instead he just tried to be there to lend a hand and just got a skull to the face ]

V-ve!! [ at least he didn't seem too hurt as he waved his hands around ]

B-bella, here! [ reaching out a hand, he offers it to the girl to try and help her out ] This way!

[frets]

[Oh god as if this situation couldn't get any worse, she just hit someone with a skull. Please don't be hurt!! The skeleton doesn't seem to be bothered by the fact that it's missing a head and is just sort of investigating the empty space above its neck, and Shinya takes this as a good opportunity to make a run for it as she reaches out to take this very much living person's hand.]

I'm so sorry, are you okay?!

[ciao]

I'm okay--I've had a lot worse~ [ the assurance as he leads her into the street ]

It's safer out here, they can't leave the lawns... And if you try to destroy them they multiply. [ that helpless sort of smile as he looks her over ]

Are you okay, bella?

[frets]

Oh, I see... [Except that's not very reassuring at all. However the farther she gets from that skeleton the better, and it looks like it's not following them as she glances over her shoulder quickly.]

Um, I'm fine, but that's not my name. You can call me Shinya!

[ciao]

Ah, sorry, sorry, it's just what you call a cute girl right? You call them bella when you don't know their names.

But now that I know your name, it's a pleasure to meet you Shinya.

[ he gives her a smile before giving a sweeping bow ]

I'm Venezia Italia, you can call me Italy.

[frets]

[He's such a gentleman...! She's a bit flustered now. What a nice man.]

Ah, I didn't know! I hope I didn't sound rude! That's very nice of you, thank you--

[frets]

[That's apparently possibly crazy.]

Italy?

...you mean, like the country?

[ciao]

No, no, it's alright. I didn't think you were rude at all.

[ there was the look up before straightening himself ]

Well, yes? I mean, there are others here... Vietnam, Germany. We're like, a manifestation--an embodiment of the country.

[frets]

[Crickets chirp.]

Ah... it sounds... within reason? [No. Honestly, it doesn't. But then she comes from one of those anime worlds where everything isn't quite normal so it's hard for her to throw judgment.]

[ciao]

I know it's a lot to take in... but I assure you, it's normal where I'm from. There's more of us, they're just not... here.

[ he gives a nervous little smile as he rubs the back of his head ]

Germany and I run The Ritz hotel here together, and you can find Vietnam at the Honeybee Bakery if you ever want to meet them.

[frets]

I-I don't mean to sound so doubtful! [She hurriedly bows.] It's just something I never thought was possible... though there are a few things that aren't normal where I am from... and you own businesses! You're so responsible as people!

[ciao]

Ah, no no, it's okay! [ raising his hands he waves them around quickly ]

It's not just you, I promise! It's not something very common for most people brought here... And believe me, you don't have to be super responsible to own a business here!

[ italy, this might be going the wrong way... ]

[frets]

But it feels much more impressive than if you were a regular person! Though, I suppose right now you're a regular person? I'm not very sure. Are all countries people where you are from? Does that mean Japan is a person as well?

[Wait a second. What is she even doing.]

--that's completely off-topic! Please don't answer any of that! [Those are the wrong questions to ask first.] I'm sorry to bother you, but could you tell me where exactly I am?

[ciao]

Japan is a good friend of mine! He was even here for a while--and we normally have a human form at home too, but we're different from actual humans.

[ he doesn't mind questions in any capacity, obviously ]

Oh no, that's okay. I'm used to a lot of these questions, really! But as for where you are... we've all been brought to this place called Holly Heights--did you happen to pick up the paperwork that was with you?

[frets]

[Oh wow, he answered her. And he doesn't sound bothered at all. Somehow she feels as if a living country would be much more intimidating to speak to, but thus far, Italy has seemed awfully nice. So Shinya finds it surprisingly easy to calm down once more.]

I would at least not like to overwhelm you with so many questions all at once... but yes, I received papers! I read through some of it... um, not exactly all of it.

[She hangs her head and mumbles like she's being scolded.] It sounded so ridiculous that I didn't take it seriously at all.
