TEST DRIVE MEME JUNE 2013

Test Drive Meme

For the app cycle periods between June 1, 2013 to August 15, 2013.
[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. You've just come back from a mission and it's late. All you want to do is get back to your room. Unfortunately, the moon is beginning to drool again! Run home before you get gooped, or join the local kids in a game of Dodge the Drool!
2. You and your partner's mission was going well... at first. Now you're trapped in a warehouse with a massive kishin egg sniffing the both of you out. How will you get out of this situation with your lives?
3. There's a heat wave in Death City! Temperatures soar! Even though it's a dry heat, it's still unbearable. Challenge your friends to a popsicle-eating contest or try frying an egg on the sidewalk. Either way the sun's entertained.
4. You're late for class! But the Shibusen stairs await...
5. Fastest way to find a partner is to introduce yourself with bad pickup lines. Your time starts now!

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.

[Introduce himself so he can get a weapon partner? Well, this can't go badly at all.]

You can call me Snake.

[SOLID SNAKE.

He ends up lighting a cigarette and taking a puff.]

If you're a gun, let's keep talking. Leave the melee weapons to people who want to act like ninjas.

[ Dammit, he's late for class, and it's only the first day!

brb running as fast as possible up the stairs...which is pretty fast, actually. ]

[Well, this was a fine how-do-you do. The madness-affected monsters were simple enough, but the Kinshin egg... was gigantic. Worse, nothing seemed to phase it. With nowhere else to go, the knight retreated to the nearest area in order to assess the situation.

Slamming the door behind her, Agrias took stock of the area, breathing heavily. She winced and addressed the claw slash on her left shoulder. With the way she was bleeding, the kinshin was no doubt going to be bearing down on them any second.]

[No, you know what? Nic's just gonna stand right under it. Because really, what's the worst that could happen if it lands on him? It drools blood, sure, but it's just like rain, right?

...right?]

---

[Late for class? No problem! He'll get there in no time-]

Ah-- !

[...or maybe not. Whoops, have a kid who's about to fall. And woe betide anyone that's in the way too.]

---

[Well, he can't really speak due to being deaf and all, but writing should be close enough!]

'Are you a meister?'

[Too bad his writing is terrible, though.]

[ Don't mind Kanaya here. Despite the heat, despite where she needs to be, she's casually strolling along beneath an umbrella. Even as accustomed to the sun as she was, this day was particularly hot and miserable... ]

[ So she's in no rush to get anywhere. Nope. Not gonna happen. Maybe someone else is miserable out in the sun. Perhaps they'd need an umbrella to hide from the sun too? ]

[ ...alternatively, in the case of a reality-bending choice that was unknown to her, she could also bump into someone who was late for the same class she was. Stairs sucked, didn't they?

[ But really, she only hits on ~the ladies~ and only certain ladies, at that. ]

I'm afraid I'm quite out of witty one-liners for the day, but it's a pleasure to meet you all the same.

[What a day, off to the sunniest beach to take care of some deplorable brute... sunbathing aside, she was ready to head home and pamper herself further. Tonight called for a long bubble-bath, extra bubbles of course, and nothing was going to get in her way.]

...Oh.

[Except the moon was salivating! All over the road! Who knew celestial bodies could be crude?]

Oh no, no, no. They don't really expect me to--

[Splat! One gob of it landed just three yards from her, and with a sound of disgust she hopped back two steps. She needed an umbrella. She'd spent far too long styling her mane and tail to let it be dirtied in... in what it was that this moon drooled!]

[Irvine stood underneath the awning of a store, peeking out from under it and looking up at the drooling moon. It seemed like the only place that would keep him safe. Next time he goes out on a mission, bringing an umbrella would be a must.]

Wish someone would have told me about this sort of thing when I first arrived. [Cause seriously. Getting drooled on by the moon seems gross.]

[There's quite a lot of commotion outside of Mortician's Touch in the Shopping District. Why is that? Maybe it has to do with the new hair dresser that has been hired. Whether it's due to her skills or her looks is up to anyone's guess, but then again, investigating on your own would probably answer that question.

Want a haircut? Curious to see what the fuss is about? Want to try and nab yourself a weapon or a girlfriend (or both)? Come on over and chat the new arrival up. That is, if you can somehow get through the crowd.]

( OOC; if you play a female character and wish to tag Niburu, i advise you to please read this permission post first! )

[This is not how Keito wanted to spend her night. Her limbs already ache with sheer exhaustion from their earlier battle with a witch, and the most she wanted to do was go home and catch some well-earned shut-eye. If she could, anyway. So many things to think about, so much to do, but that could all come later.

First and foremost, it was time to get home. The moon, whatever evil, horrendous little vermin that was, had opted for drooling putrid, wet globs of who-knew-what onto the streets at night. Keito didn't know if it was acidic or dangerous, but she didn't plan on finding out. Adjusting the back straps on her heels, she just takes off. Narrowed escapes have her needing moments of hiding, dodging her way into alleys and underneath store fronts. She's bound to hide where someone else has already chosen.]

[He stands in the middle of the financial district, a mass of dark coat and one of the few people who bore the heat of the sun without rushing indoors for the benefit of air cooling machines. While it was certainly hot enough to cook an egg on the ground, he remains where he is, standing at Death Robbins' storefront.

To continue his way to the bank or take a small break. Robin's dilemma could be summed up with: obligations first, or should he take a moment to indulge?]

[Lauren is down to shorts and a tank top, and it's still way too hot out. Lauren is not a big fan of hot places so all of this? Majorly not cool.

Pun intended.]

Whoever decided to make the weather this hot should be punched in the face.

Yoko was never sure what was worse, the drooling moon that loomed ominously during the night or the creepy sun that chuckled and watched her every move as she went about her daily routines after her arrival into this odd world. The sun was actually doing that very task as she sat out in the sweltering desert heat. Yoko had a few mechanical projects she was working on before heading back to continue on with other things on her list.

"Ugh what is with the heat today?" She grumbled, wiping her forehead with the back of a gloved hand as she squinted at the sun," You would think it would give us a break once in awhile."
