soul_skirmish | 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.

[A surprised grunt at the slap to his chest, grabbing at the sheet immediately. Pink bloomed to red.]

Wh-what!? Why the hell should I do it!? It says only witches can do it! Y-you're a witch, aren'tcha!?

Edited 2012-07-18 03:30 (UTC)

Of course I am! I am the witch Maria, feared across France for my powers! I've stopped armies in their tracks!

[And now she immediately crosses her arms under her chest, huffing.]

Besides, that doesn't say a thing about a witch having to do it.

[Wait, it didn't!? He double-checked the paper, and stared at it in silence.]

[Then he crumpled it a little between his fingers in a flash of temper.]

Yeah, well, I-I ain't doin' it! [You're gonna have to give a damn good reason why he should shake his ass!]

[The woman has her own little flash of temper then, hands balling onto her fists.]

Well one of us has to. We can't take the information back to BREW unless we check it, right? I know I would never give out a spell or a potion I was unsure of.

[She grumbles then, arms once more crossing. Apparently both of them are pretty resolute not to be the one subjected to dancing.

And Maria can be pretty damn stubborn when she wants to be.]

[But she's a soft-hearted witch as well. If seems more than negligent to let this chance go by.

So... s-so...]

Fine, I will do it then!

[She declares this loudly and firmly, like she had never disputed doing it in the first place. She even stands a little straighter, prouder perhaps.

And then she looks away, blush fresh as she offers out a hand for the piece of paper.]

But you can't watch.

Tch...! L-like I'd wanna watch anyway!

[He shoved the paper back in her hand and folded his arms, looking away.]

I'll turn you into a toad if you do!

[Never mind she doesn't exactly have those abilities anymore.

She reads the sheet a time or two again, trying to memorize exactly what to write.
And then trying to put it off. Subconsciously, of course.

Finally she tucks the note rather violently into the belt around her waist, doffs her jacket on the ground and places her hands on her hips.]

[Hands on hips, rear out. Thankfully her skirt is more than short enough for this so instructions on panties need not be heeded.

Aaaand spelling. She misspells at first, mumbling something under her breath as she tries again.

There's a pause midway through her second attempt, right on an upstroke as she asks in sudden curiosity.]

What language is this supposed to be in?

Japanese. Y'wanna write 'majo'.

[He glanced over out of instinct to write the symbols in the air--]

[And pointedly turned away again, red to the hairline. Trying to settle his nerves, he silently held out a hand and drew the symbols in the air.]

[Oh god, this was the worst mission and the worst instructions ever. How much were they getting paid for this again!?]

[Guh, he looked. She mumbles something about 'frogs' but she can't really make good on that unfortunately.

Instead she tries again, this time in Japanese versus French. And once the 'o' is on that 'majo', she pauses and waits.

And waits.]

[And waits.]

[Eyebrow arched.]

... What's supposed to happen exactly?

...Huh?

[He looked around in the resulting silence.]

There's supposed to be some kinda 'way to the Witches' Realm'. So where the hell is it!?

[Damn it. DAMN IT. Was their information wrong!? No, they worked too damn hard to get this info. It had to be the butt used.]

Y'sure you did it right? You told me not to watch!

Of course I did it right! What could be so difficult about this?

[WAVES PAPER THROUGH THE AIR IN EMPHASIS.]

[He sighed in exasperation. What could they be doing wrong? Did she do the symbols like he showed her?]

[Kanji blinked at the paper. Furrowed a brow. ...Wait a minute.]

Y'did it backwards! Y'write Japanese the other way!

[He clenched his jaw. Fine. Fine. If you want a job done right...]

...Damn it.

[...you do it yourself. He folded his arms and turned his red face away. It says a witch needs to do it, and nobody can watch... but she was a witch. Did she need to turn away? Did he need to pull down his pants? W-was he seriously considering this!?]

Turn around. I'm doin' it.

[Backwards? The other way? Maria gives him a look like he's a complete moron.]

I'm doing it backwards? If you ask me, any language that is written--

[She pauses at his offer, brows raised way up.]

... You are?

Edited 2012-07-29 05:25 (UTC)

Just... just turn around, damn it!

[He was pretty close to changing his mind, and the looks she was giving him were NOT HELPING.]

Fine, fine, alright!

[And so Maria turns her back much like Kanji did for her.

... With maybe just a little peeking over her shoulder. Not that she's curious about anything. She's observing a spells effects, you see. It's all strictly witch stuff.]

[He waited for her to turn, checked, and sighed quietly. The last thing he needed was for her to see things like... well...]

[Here goes nothing. He couldn't believe he was actually doing this. Screw Witches, seriously.]

[He fumbled with his belt, button and zipper, working them undone. The stupid instructions said you need to be in your stupid underwear, right? Urgh...]

[He tugged his pants down a little. Hopefully, black briefs fit the criteria in the intel. If not, well, he was making a literal ass of himself.]

['Ma' was weird to write with the two lines first...]

[Then he sidestepped to his left and went with 'Ji'. Those tick marks sucked, but he wasn't sure if he was worse than the swoop of the hiragana proper.]

[And finally, with another sidestep to the left, 'Yo'. It was smaller, joined with the 'Ji' sound, to that was easy enough. He didn't realize how swirly hiragana really was until he wrote it with his ass.]

[With the last loop, he quickly tugged up his pants and redid them as quickly as he could with shaky fingers.]
