TEST DRIVE MEME JULY 2012

[soul_mods]

Test Drive Meme

For the reserves period between June 22, 2012 to September 13, 2012.
[App Form] [Reserves Page]

This meme is here to let prospective characters mingle ICly with the characters already in the game and each other. It helps us introduce various scenarios that you're likely to encounter in Soul Campaign and the different places used in the game. Hopefully, this helps you figure out if the game is really suited to your needs or not -- otherwise, just have fun!

The scenarios for this cycle are:
1. The BREW summons you into the Kishin Chamber during a power outage, along with a bunch of other strangers.
2. You're trapped in a blizzard during a mission to Greenland, and must now huddle with your partner for warmth. Your partner may or may not be someone you know.
3. You've intercepted an important piece of intel about the way to enter the witches' realm. It's kind of really embarrassing, however. Maybe you should try it out first to see if it's true?
4. Shortages are not uncommon during wars, and this time around the entire city has run out of coffee/tea/[insert character's favorite substance]. What lengths will you go to to get your fix?
5. There's a perfect mission for you on the mission bulletin board! The problem is, you're required to crossdress as your opposite gender.

Just choose any one randomly, or make up your own, we don't mind! To make things simpler, please follow this subject line:

[CHARACTER NAME | CANON or FANDOM CHARACTER IS FROM | MEISTER OR WEAPON | SCENARIO# (or indicate if it's a new scenario)]

For example: [SPIRIT ALBARN | SOUL EATER | WEAPON | #1]

For OOC discussions and generally just chatting around, please head over here.

Here's the Soul Campaign Navigation Page for all the other information you need.

As an extra note, you may add your TD threads to your application although it is not a requirement to do so and will not count towards activity checks. Please place it under the Notes section if you do.

[MARIA | JUNKETSU NO MARIA | WEAPON | #2 or 3]

[thechastewitch]

Scenario #2
[Maria never precisely dressed for the cold. The coat was a nice addition and frankly it was the only thing between her and absolutely freezing to death right now. If she still had her powers, she could at least conjure up a fire!]

--

Scenario #3
[Honestly, Maria hated the witches around here. They gave decent witches like herself a bad name. Sure, they might have the whole 'fearful witches' thing down pat and she could use so pointers on that front but honestly, witches were there to help, not harm!

So she's all about getting into the Witches' Realm one way or another. The intel seems solid and reliable, she's not adverse to turning it over to BREW, it's just...

Well... this seems a little...]

You're sure these are the right instructions?

ffffff 3.

[topgun_textiles]

[He was just staring in awkward disbelief. THAT'S how you get in the Witches' Realm!? Seriously?]

Ugh... This world's just batshit enough t'make it work.

[Not to mention all the work they did to get this information.]

[Yosuke Hanamura | Persona 4 | Weapon | Your choice!]

[advisor_type]

[topgun_textiles]

S'the only one left, man. [But double the prize money, and he's saving up for something, ffffff-]

2

[motherofthesun]

[Fortunate that your Meister is mainly a bundle of thick white fur, huh Yosuke? She's just standing there in the frigid temperature like it's nothing.]

The White King | Homestuck | Weapon | your choice!

[writkeeper]

[say hi to the regal-looking carapace, guys. promise he doesn't bite.]

1

[motherofthesun]

[Most faintly glowing, white things don't bite. She wants to say 'Hi' to the White King.]

Hysterical Dame | Problem Sleuth | Meister | 1 or 3

[charmbreak]

[HD is used to being tossed around into strange situations, but that doesn't mean she likes it the more it happens. the dark and spooky atmosphere only serves to set her on edge, especially when she discovers that her lipstick is missing.

great. just her luck.

the other people in the room seem as clueless as she is, so she stalks up to the door and begins banging instead. her voice is raised and highly irritated.]

All right, what's the big idea? If you think that being a wise guy's going to get you anywhere you've got another thing coming!

--

[...this is ridiculous. did they really expect her to go through with this? she'd rather drink a gallon of gasoline.

of course, it didn't have to specifically be her. what better way to test it than on a completely unrelated subject? and if it worked then they wouldn't have to repeat it anyway. PERFECT PLAN

so she'll be grabbing the next unsuspecting passerby by the shoulder in a grip surprisingly tight for a woman of her build. she grins at them brightly.]

Hey there! You got five minutes?

1

[pishirogane]

[Out of the darkness, a light source does manage to come on. However, where Naoto has it right now, it causes the light to give her the typical horror face out of darkness.]

One moment... [She takes the glowing badge off her coat, moving its angle to a more appropriate, less horrifying shadowing]

Now then. It's a blackout. Is there anything else you would like to know?

Arcanus (aka Alex) | Golden Sun | Meister | 1, 2, or 5

[mywayofhelping]

[Whether or not you can see him under the circumstances, he's standing in one spot quietly and is seemingly just observing the situation. Really, he isn't overly pleased at this, but just how much he doesn't like it is kind of hard to tell since he's oddly laid back at the same time.]

[ Junpei Iori | Persona 3 | Weapon | Your Choice! ]

[blazeoflife]

4

[topgun_textiles]

[There is BANGING ON YOUR DOOR.]

5... just because Investigation

[pishirogane]

[Soo... Naoto's confused. Does she wear something more girlish or keep wearing what she is, but just different?]

[Hyoubu Kyousuke | Zettai Karen Children | Meister | #5]

[atleast80]

[Crossdressing. Hahaha...this sure does bring back memories.]

I refuse.

[saleh]

Not up to the task?

[ Asuma Sarutobi | Naruto | Meister | Your choice! ]

[lastsmoke]

Roy Mustang | Fullmetal Alchemist | MEISTER | 2, 4, 5

[incinerare]

Scenario 2
[If he hadn't hated snow before, it was rapidly gaining the same general amount of loathing that rain usually got when he was out in it back home. Not only was it wet, but it was also cold which just made the situation that much worse.]

Scenario 4
[You never really realize just how much you take something for granted until you're deprived of it. In this case, coffee and even tea it would seem like. When he'd realized one had run out, he looked into getting the other, but unfortunately came up short there as well. So here he was hunting the city for any place which might actually have enough for at least just one cup, or if he was lucky, more of it.]

I bite. Scenario 4! 8D

[sixthdeadliest]

[Six is reading the Death City Times on the porch outside his apartment. He's been doing well adapting to this place. Apparently, it paid to have your own world spiraling towards chaos. It made you more flexible for when more of it was thrown your way.]

[In his hand is a mug of the very liquid that Roy sought: coffee. In his kitchen, the coffee pot is brewing away. There's about half a pot left.]

2 - no homo bro

[comradery]

[Hughes does not have a preference for snow, but this blizzard is certainly irritating. The two of them are taking cover in a small cave, though the ground is still covered in the white nuisance.

Hughes is digging through his pack to find a blanket. When he finally finds it, he pulls it out and chucks it at Roy's head.]

Use that for covering. If we're going to have to share body heat, then I don't want to get your miniskirt-obsessed cooties.

[He is joking of course. His main concern is making sure Roy is warmer than he is.]

[ Mikey Mcgill | The Skinjackers Trilogy (Everfound) | Meister | Your choice! ]

[againstgravity]

[ He looks incredibly grumpy, regardless of the situation. ]

5

[areyounakamurakun]

[Souji looks at the Mickey, then back at the mission board then back again before clapping his hands together cheerfully.]

I'm sure you'd look fetching in a ladies' kimono. [Which is Souji speak for, 'no amount of sake could possibly get me drunk enough to do this.']

[Thane Krios | Mass Effect | Weapon | Your choice!]

[tributetothesea]

Hal Jordan ☄ DC Comics ☄ Meister ☄ Your choice

[2814]

[Hands deep in the pockets of his father's coat, Hal fails to keep the surly out of his look as he interacts with this uncanny city and its trapped inhabitants. He just wants to be doing something, anything, productive again.]

1

[blue_wayfinder]

[Well, at least with the power out it's not as easy to see that surly look, right?]

Sorry about this. [She smile apologetically, though depending on how good his night vision is he may not see it.] We weren't expecting this to happen.

River Song | Doctor Who | COME AT ME BROS

[hullosweetie]

[BARRICADE | TRANSFORMERS | WEAPON | #1]

[badcop]

[When did it get so fragging dark? Was there an ambush, and he'd been knocked out? Well, at least he could move, and the headlights in his chest would let him navigate his way out of wherever he'd wound up. They flickered to life and immediately shut off when he realized he was standing in a room full of humans. Great.]

[notsatanscamaro]

[Well. Humans plus one bot. One familiar bot. One familiar bot that is just noticing him from across the room. And he's not happy about it.]

Rosalia Rossellini | Trauma Team | Weapon

[bloodinbloom]

[OOC: Any scenario or a custom one!]

#5 soooort of. :|

[topgun_textiles]

[Hiding out in the coffea shrubs at a lakeside in Guatemala, surrounded in berries in shades of green and red, he'd found them: Very run-down, rusted cages filled with very dirty, very hungry, very frightened children. The lack of sounds of distress, save for the occasional sniffle, worried Kanji: Didn't their folks teach them to scream for help when it was needed?]

's too quiet here...

[He wouldn't dare lift his voice, but he would start cracking his knuckles.]

Don't see the Kishin Egg anywhere, though. Y'want those cages on the left, I'll take right? Let's bust 'em outta here.
