TEST DRIVE MEME JULY 2012

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.

Geez, leave a guy in the dark, huh? This better be good!

[He said this good naturedly, a grin on his face. It was good to know he was trusted by Kanji. The giant of a guy seemed kinda standoffish at first (Reminding him of Shinjiro-senpai a bit), so Junpei wasn't sure how well they'd get along. But he really wondered why he of all people was who Kanji could turn to... was it something to do with Naoto-kun? Was he looking for dating advice? Not that he was really an expert... but he could fake it pretty well!]

[After a moment or two more-- leaning back to grab his wallet from the table next to the door and slipping it into his pocket-- Junpei straightened up, giving Kanji a thumbs up.]


Alright, lead the way!
topgun_textiles: ([Shades] Some bark and bite)

[personal profile] topgun_textiles 2012-07-15 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
[It was stupid, really. But it made no sense at all! Why would they be out!? How could they be out? It wasn't like there was a huge demand for them, but sometimes an afternoon just CALLED for them! Without a word, Kanji would lead the way. Fortunately for them, Junpei didn't live too far from Shibusen proper.]

[And no this was not for dating advice, what the hell do you know, Junpei!? J-jeez...]

Tch... Y'think somebody woulda sent some of us to keep the supply lines tight.

[How delightfully vague, Kanji.]
blazeoflife: (What the?)

[personal profile] blazeoflife 2012-07-16 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
[He followed after Kanji, closing his apartment door and locking it before moving to catch up with him. A few times along the way, Junpei felt the urge to open his mouth; start some small talk, ask about Kanji's job, anything... but there was just something about the blond guy that made it kinda hard to strike up some conversation.]

[Annnd oooh, he knew enough, Kanji. Like how you'd always blush around Naoto, giving him 'meaningful' looks all the time and standing just slightly closer than normal 'good friends' should stand. Junpei wasn't school smart by any stretch of the imagination, but he was okay at reading people.]


Huh?

[He blinked at Kanji's words, looking up at him as they walked along.]

Supply lines? What, the city short on somethin'?

[He glanced up at the sky, thinking. Was there anything he remembered hearing was running out? Nothing came to mind... at least, nothing he used himself.]
topgun_textiles: (Feeling moody)

[personal profile] topgun_textiles 2012-07-16 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
[And none of that was any of your business, Junpei. Don't bring it up with him unless you feel like making starting conversation that much more difficult.]

...Yeah. Yeah it is.

[Oh good, he was going to start giving up details. It was when they were halfway up those endless stairs leading up to Shibusen that he finally coughed up the details.]

I checked every damn store, but they're all out!

[With a sigh of frustration, he glared ahead. Gotta get to that mirror.]

How the hell's a guy supposed to get his animal crackers if they can't even keep 'em on the shelves, huh!?
blazeoflife: (Are you for real seriously?)

1/2

[personal profile] blazeoflife 2012-07-17 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Aww, come on, man! It's no big deal to have the hots for someone, especially if they like you too! No need to be all shy~]

So what is it, dude?

[Junpei haaated these stairs so much. He didn't mind exercise or sports-- hell, the only course he ever aced in school was PE-- but this many steps?! Who's idea WAS this?]

...Wait. What?

[Did he hear that right? He paused mid step, staring at the back of Kanji's head.]

You're seriously taking the mirror for... animal crackers?! You got me out of my apartment, walking up these damn steps... for just--
blazeoflife: (Forget it man)

2/2

[personal profile] blazeoflife 2012-07-17 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
Can't you just grab some pocky or somethin' instead?!

[Man, now he was really annoyed...]
topgun_textiles: ([Shades] All right people listen up!)

[personal profile] topgun_textiles 2012-07-18 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
If I wanted pocky, I'd get pocky. [He growled.]

Besides, it ain't the same! They got really good frosted ones here, but they're all out.

...So I'm gonna go to a town that's got 'em. We'll be in n' out in ten minutes.
blazeoflife: (Damnit screw you!)

[personal profile] blazeoflife 2012-07-22 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Guuuh, the guy was a like a dog sometimes, always growling...]

I know it ain't the same, but...

[Junpei let out a sigh, shaking his head. Well, he was already half way up the steps... and hell, he could do with some sight seeing, where ever they ended up.]

Alright, alright... I'll still go with ya. But!

[Holding up his pointer finger, he glared at Kanji with a determined expression on his face.]

Next time I'm wanting somethin' I can't get here in the city, you're gonna come with me with no complaints or questions, alrigh'?

[Fair's fair, and all that...]
topgun_textiles: (Grumpy Emperor)

[personal profile] topgun_textiles 2012-07-22 01:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[He looked back, impatient. To most others this was an unreasonable request, but sometimes you had a hankering, a craving for something you'd go all out to track down. Kanji had all ready given a few of the poor convenience store clerks hell.]

Tch, fine! [Whatever got you to agree to come with him, Junpei. Who knows when he'd have to return the favor, and for what... but Kanji wasn't thinking that far ahead. All he wanted were small baked treats covered in icing.]

...Pocky. Why the hell would I want pocky, anyway? [Death City didn't carry any good flavors anyway. Maybe he should start checking Metokkori R more often...]
blazeoflife: (Y'knooowww~~)

[personal profile] blazeoflife 2012-07-22 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright! Now I just gotta think of something fun to go get...!

[He'd think of something! Maybe a kind of food you can only get in some obscure restaurant somewhere! He'd heard about the "Four Horsemen" burger once on some weird tv show he saw... wondered if Kanji'd be up for that sometime! Or was there a game he could pick up back in Japan...? He'd really need to think on it.]

[At Kanji's question, a grin spread on Junpei's face, and he started walking a bit faster, moving to overtake Kanji on the steps--]

I dunno, maybe you could play the pocky game with someone~?

[Annnd getting a good distance between them before Kanji could think too hard about it!]

C'mon, let's go!
topgun_textiles: (GET THOSE AWAY FROM ME)

oh god not a Four Horsemen burger D8

[personal profile] topgun_textiles 2012-07-23 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Sounded like something Kanji would never resist, even if it might be The Worst Idea Ever conceived.]

[He idly listened as Junpei spoke, passing him by. Good, he was picking up the pace--]

...

[Come again? The what. Oh, you son of a--]

Th-the hell's that supposed to mean!?

[And after him he goes. Was... was he getting at something!? He better not be getting at something!!]
blazeoflife: (Walking along~)

COME ON KANJI YOU MAN ENOUGH FOR THE CHALLENGE?!

[personal profile] blazeoflife 2012-07-29 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[It might be the Worst Idea Ever, but atleast it would be fun! Maybe they should do an open challenge to other guests in Death City!]

[Junpei only laughed at Kanji's spluttering, racing up the stairs to keep himself ahead of the mad bull behind him.]


Nothin', nothin'! You just wanted a reason, so I gave you one!

[Oh, he was totally getting at something, but like hell he'd say it out loud! Good thing Junpei had decent stamina though, cause goddamn these steps...]

S-so where we goin', anyway?

[Convenient change of subject!]
topgun_textiles: (Feeling moody)

[personal profile] topgun_textiles 2012-07-30 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't ask for a reason to play that shit!!

[BECAUSE HE WOULD NEVER EVER PLAY IT. EVER. Maybe.]

[And you better have stamina, boy, because he was ready to chase you to the ends of Death City and back! Fortunately for him, today he'd been running all over the city as it was trying to find a store that sold animal crackers. He eventually slowed and instead went to bore holes in Junpei's back. He hopes you feel that glare.]

Anywhere that ain't here! [Honestly, somewhere in Nevada. The supply routes must have been held up or something.]

Maybe Vegas. I dunno. [Well hey, color him curious.]
