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!

RESERVES OPEN TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!

No. If you say something, you should know what you're talking about.

[ Says the backpeddlar, but let's ignore that for now. ]

[bauhinia]

I'll try to do better.

[ His friendship senses are tingling like crazy. This is the right path, isn't it? Isn't it?! ]

[volcanic]

[ Iceland is like the super secret character where you have to beat the game and get every special ending and then find all the secret collectibles to unlock his true route.

That all being said, maybe. Maybe this is getting somewhere. ]

Right. Whatever. [ He shrugs. ]

[bauhinia]

[ Hong Kong is a completionist, for sure... ]

I won't put a shark in my pool.

[volcanic]

Good. Put one in the zoo, if you have to. [ He actually seems... somewhat satisfied?? Or as satisfied as he can appear, with his minimal outward emoting. ]

[bauhinia]

If someone else isn't running it now. [ That's such a weird thought. ] If they are, I'll totally recommend you to them, if you want.

[volcanic]

Eh? N- no, that's fine. I... I don't need to work there again. [ He takes a half step back, though more like he's shuffling awkwardly as opposed to trying to escape or back off. ]

[bauhinia]

You got a different job? Or you wanna do something else? [ He's trying REALLY hard to reel in his curiosity, but it's totally valid for one former employer to ask one former employee about their reasons for not returning, right.... right................. ]

[volcanic]

I just want to go home. [ Read: I don't want to stay here that long (especially not two more years). ]

[bauhinia]

[ Oh, right. ] I hope you get to. Really soon.

[volcanic]

Uh, thanks. You too. [ Look at how forcibly polite he can be! But then he falls into an awkward silence for the umpteenth time. Sorry he's not much for an actual conversation, Hong Kong. ]

[bauhinia]

[ You are doing well, Iceland. Keep up the good work!! ] Oh- thanks. I uh, don't mind it here though. Well- [ Oh no, he looks Gloomy again. Kinda. Whatever that looks like on Hong Kong. ]

[volcanic]

Oh. I see... Um-- [ He knows something is Up, to some degree, but he is also 100% uncomfortable with bringing it up. So he won't. ]

Okay.

[bauhinia]

[ That's okay, Hong Kong realizes Iceland is the last person to be sharing his Troubles with right now. Circumstances being what they are. My gosh, the boy has some tact? It's a miracle. ]

I wonder if the cafe's open. Are you hungry? [ Smoothest subject change ever. ]

[volcanic]

Not really. [ He's definitely sheepish when he says this, but he is trying to be nonchalant.

Because he's totally not hungry, okay. ]

[bauhinia]

Oh, okay. [ He's letting it go?! Food-related things are happening and he's acting just as nonchalant?!

He must be sick. ]

[volcanic]

[ A true miracle. Not that Iceland would know, he's not very all attuned to Hong Kong's idiosyncrasies. ]

Yeah. So. I'm gonna... go. I guess.

[bauhinia]

[ Let's be honest, hardly anyone could be... ]

Right, sure- I'll see you around then, yeah?

[volcanic]

[ A fair point. ]

Yeah, yeah. [ A small wave, as he heads off. ] Bye.

[bauhinia]

[ Hong Kong is a mystery. ]

See you later. [ How was that so painless? Can't be just because Honkers is Distracted, right? ]
