Test Drive: December

— TEST DRIVE: DECEMBER —


Welcome to [community profile] empatheias' test drive meme. This test drive is to help interested players test their characters in the game's environment. We've included a few prompts that incorporate specific elements of the game, though you'll find all of them have a lot of leeway for players to get as creative as necessary. Before diving in, here are a few things we'd like to remind everyone about the game in general:

  • Date reminders. Reserves open 25 November and Applications (Canon | OC) open a week later on December 1st. Apps will only be open for four days!

  • OC Reminder! Just a quick reminder that original characters are allowed. Those interested can also use the test drive. OCs do not need to be reserved.

  • Emotions are key! Empatheias' premise focuses on how anyone's emotions can affect their environment, be it big or small. While not every emotion will cause a reaction, significant ones definitely will. How much effect a character will have will ultimately be up to you, the player. Also, while we're giving a lot of leeway for the test drive, keep in mind that there will be some limits in the actual game.

  • Everyone has an amulet. All characters have a unique amulet that is specialized for them. It will contain all of their emotion drops and it serves as the network device. Remember, communication is telepathic. Otherwise, it works basically the same.

  • Assume the character is already in the game. Because "OMG WHERE AM I IS THIS REAL LIFE" threads aren't going to be very helpful in this test drive! Plus, those are going to happen in-game, anyway. So to make things easier, just assume that they've been around at least a week or so. Still learning the ropes, but not a complete "first day" experience.

  • First or third person allowed. Your threads can be in either first or third, but we'd advise being flexible about it. Remember, these threads can also be used in your application for samples! Reminder: We only require one sample and it can be done in either format. We have also made a change to our sample requirements, so look over the Applications page!

  • Transfer to in-game. If accepted, you can assume threads made on the Test Drive happen in-game if the scenario can reasonably fit. For new characters, these threads do not count for activity check. However, these can be supplementary threads for players already in-game.

  • Enable Me/App This Pls. Talk about your app plans or look for a cast HERE!

    Now with that out of the way, here are some prompts you guys can work from!


    PROMPTS

    • Prompt A: How about giving the emotions a try?

    • Prompt B: Refer to the Task Board and choose a task your character may be interested in taking up. For this prompt, you could have your character ask for help, already be in the middle of the job, or react to it in some way. Perhaps they were an unfortunate victim or want to create a job countering an existing one. You could even have a prompt making a job request. Creating jobs for the purpose of the test drive is absolutely doable.

    • Prompt C: How about giving the amulets a go? Start a telepathic conversation and see how it works. Remember, the amulets are sending out the owner's thoughts so might want to be careful about how the stream of consciousness goes...

    • Prompt D: The same committee of natives that decided to tackle Halloween have decided to take on the winter holidays of Otherworlders as well! After interviewing several Otherworlders to acquire some grasp on the traditions associated with these holidays, the committee determines that many of the typical winter festivities just aren’t up to snuff with what they like to see in Verens. So after running away with some ideas and getting the locals involved, there are all sorts of new and unusual winter activities popping up around the city! Which one will you give a try?
    1. Tree Toppers: At various locations throughout Verens, there are massive, fully decorated evergreen trees standing tall for the public to enjoy. However, there are more to these trees than meets the eye, and should you approach, you will see a placard among the boughs: climb to the top of the tree, and snatch the crown at the top to become Winter Royalty! Sure enough, the trees are topped with crowns made of real gold, but reaching the top may not be as easy as you think. The trees are several stories tall, and they are not particularly stable. Perhaps you need a partner to spot you, or maybe you’re racing to the top! Either way, it’s going to take some effort to reach the crown.
    2. We Won’t Go Until We Get Some: Groups of natives have taken up caroling and arrive at your door to serenade and ask for some figgy pudding. The thing is, they are relentless. They will not leave until they have received some figgy pudding, so if you don’t have any on hand (and why would you), it’s time to take a trip to the grocery store and whip up some of the requested dish. Hopefully you know how to make it...or find someone who knows how, quick! Those carolers are getting awfully hungry, and it’s getting late...
    3. Elf on a Shelf: Through the course of their “research”, the committee learned of toy-making elves, though they seem to have conflated their understanding of them with another creature from folklore. They have taken imps from the forest, dressed them up in cute red and green costumes, and set them loose in the city, claiming that whoever captures the most “elves” with be rewarded with a giant rocking horse. Some of the “elves” will hide and thus need to be sniffed out, but others still are far more mischievous and are likely to get into your cabinets and drawers. Oh, dear...perhaps you’ll be earning that rocking horse, whether you wanted it or not.



    • Prompt E: The recent death of an Arehtei has prompted some people to believe that there may be some Arehtei who have yet to come back, or have yet to be discovered. As such, a team not at all enforced by the local government are going around encouraging others to join their cause: find new Arehtei.
    1. Make 'em Talk: As most Arehtei are like giant animals, the group has captured all kinds of creatures from all over the world and are trying to see if certain emotional reactions will make these creatures talk. Arehtei talk, after all, so it would only be natural for the undiscovered Arehtei to be capable of speech. Perhaps you come by the petting zoo or perhaps you were asked by a member of the team to help out. Your task now is to make the creature before you speak.
    2. The Monthly Rituals: The various emotions represented by the current living Arehtei are all well and good, but what about emotions such as Hot and Cold, Rich and Poor, Alive and Dead, Woke and Lit? There are apparently so many other emotions that don't fall under the spectrum of what the current Arehtei represent, and the group is now hosting a ritual at the park in hopes of summoning new Arehtei. People attending the rituals are partnered up again and they have to make their partner feel these new emotions. For your efforts, you are given a cup of either peppermint mocha or raspberry iced tea!
    3. Emotional Effects: Maybe even summoning the long forgotten Simpathis, Arehtei of Apathy, might help. Despite the destructive effects of the lack of emotion, people are encouraged to turn off their emotions for a minute or two in hopes of the emotion drops in people's crystals to help the Arehtei in some way. After all, feeling certain emotions make the emotional state of the world tilt in a particular manner. Should there be a lot of apathy, then the Arehtei of apathy might (re)surface and bring some balance! Just watch out for people suddenly making the ground shake. The glass you're holding might suddenly break, or perhaps the street you're walking in might suddenly lose all its colour.



    • Prompt F: Life in Empatheias is generally a peaceful one, but it's also important to be perpetually prepared for any kind of emergency. The Verens General Hospital has issued a half-day mandatory First Aid course for all of its citizen. The staff are aware that these kinds of classes tend to be boring for most people, which is why this one will come with some exciting twists! The first thing everyone will notice is that all the training takes place outdoors. To be precise, it's a forest that looks more like a boot camp. Remember, attendance is mandatory!
    1. Stayin’ Alive: The first course is a classic CPR course - you and a partner are given an instruction book on how to resuscitate a person, then apply those skills on a dummy. That's what seems to be the case for most pairs, but some others won't be so lucky! It turns out that some staff members will shoot poison darts from afar. If you're hit, it's your partner's job to either suck out the poison, or run back to the supply cabin for the antidote. This is the REAL test! Isn't it thrilling?
    2. I Will Survive: The second course is another much-needed skill when it comes to saving lives; namely the fireman's carry. Once again, you're paired up with a partner, but this time only one has to do most of the work, while the other has to do their best to play their part. What does this course involve? It's an army-style obstacle course, where one has to carry another person through various obstacles. How exciting!
    3. How To Save a Life: The final course involves performing emergency surgery. Don't worry! The surgery is performed on a test dummy, of course. With the most basic training instructions (which is completely inadequate for this task), you and your partner are tasked with surgically removing the dummy's kidney and replacing it with a fresh one from your medical box. Work slowly and carefully together... and don't panic. Seriously, don't. The staff have also released some monster snakes nearby, just to add to the excitement. Stay calm, and the creatures won't sense your presence. Alternatively, one partner can fight them while the other one works on the patient. First Aid has never been so blood-tingling before!




    • Prompt G: Make your own! It could include music and/or jump ropes.


    For your threads, put the Character Name and the Canon in the subject line to help readily identify them. You're also welcome to use more than one prompt for respondents to choose from. If you have any questions or want to brush up on the game information, refer to the Game Information entry. Otherwise, tag around and have fun!

scarlett eyler | hello charlotte

[personal profile] ascapegoat 2018-11-19 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
• Prompt C

[To say that Scarlett is discombobulated, astonished, and more than a little afraid would be a understatement. To come into consciousness when she should be dead---when she should never have existed to begin with was not something easy to handle.

Especially not with significant chunks of her memory lost in a haze, and many more coming to her whose authenticity she doubted.

The young girl was fortunate that there had been kind locals to give her the run of the place, help her settle down and explain to her the rather unique attributes of this world...but they had their own lives to lead and could not guide her forever.

They could not be Seth.

Which means she had to track down answers all on her own, thus why she turned to the amulet. It had taken her nearly an hour to work up the courage to finally try and use this thing, and while her voice remained calm and neutral, she was anything but]


Hello?

Pardon if I am intruding upon anyone. I have a bit of a concern--one I imagine that many who are brought to this place have upon coming here, so I apologize if I am being a bit repetitive.

It has been explained to me that this is a land in which nearly everything can be altered by a person's emotional state.

That...I can only assume that means it can be negatively impacted as well, correct? How exactly is that combated?

[It's not that Scarlett doesn't believe this, but it's hard to imagine how this place hadn't been turned into a complete and utter wasteland.]

• Prompt F1:

[First aid was a skill of utmost value. That is something that Scarlett has always felt in all her existences. Unfortunately, it was one she had never really been able to nurture and so, when the opportunity presented itself, she was quick to sign up for the classes.

CPR certainly seemed like it would be worth the time and effort to learn, but it occurred to Scarlett that she had never gone swimming, had she? She had no idea how to even swim so she'd have to find a time to learn that as well.

She looked down at the dummy, then back up at her partner.]

The instructions had been pretty simple. She's fairly certainly the tougher part will be keeping calm if and when it actually came time to use it.]


That seemed to go pretty well. Hopefully we won't ever have to actually put something like this to--ow!

[Her words were quickly cut off by the sensation of a sharp pain in her arm. Her hair, usually smooth and wavy seemed to spike up in an almost comical manner before fluttering back down as she pulled out a dart from her arm.]

What...is this?

• Wildcard, using one of the prompts from last time since I came in way too late sob.

[This had been enjoyable, Scarlett had to admit. As the days passed she was tentatively allowing herself to hope that this wasn't some trick or illusion or dream. She really was free of The House, a concept that was both exhilarating, terrifying, and felt wholly undeserved.

Memories, knowledge, and the acknowledgement of lack thereof were trickling in day by day, some coming to her in a steady stream, others a smack in the face.

When the third day had passed, Scarlett came to the startling realization that she hadn't been eating. In registering that, she also realized that she had never eaten back in The House, had she? The closest she ever came to it was her time as Charlotte when she ordered food, but that had quickly been interrupted. Then, it had always been buying food for others.

She supposed it made sense. A person simply eating did not make for good entertainment for most, her life had only ever existed in scenes for the delight of others.

Here, however, she could experience the mundane. Simply lying in bed, staring at the ceiling was in some way awing. Knowing that time was passing by and all around her the world continue to spin, that so many others were doing their own thing.

And now here she could see the works of others...something she was compelled and repulsed by. Scarlett had lingered in the periphery of the crowds, not compelled to join. It was only when she came by the life drawing class that she finally joined.

Which is how she found herself paired with a stranger, and starting to regret it. She'd been keeping to herself for these past couple days and had never been what one would consider a conversationalist.]

prompt c: amulets

[ He's gotten used to using his amulet by now, but it still feels unfamiliar to use it to speak to so many humans. Back at home, many people couldn't see, nor hear him. It may... take a little longer to get used to.

He's speaking to couple of his companions at home in a similar fashion, but the idea of using it to speak to everyone is unique, to say the least. ]


Good afternoon. [ He greets politely, focusing his thoughts on others. ] I was wondering - was there a particular location where one could find herbs? [ Although he's speaking quietly, there's a calmness to his tone. ]

prompt e - 1

[ He was asked to help the animals learn how to speak, but he doesn't exactly know where to start. He never thought he'd be asked to be a mentor, muchless teach an animal to talk.

... Though that's not the strange part - it's the fact that the animals are as big as some of the monsters at home that makes him hesitate. ]


... Let's try with something simple.

[ Anyone nearby is welcome to help him out. ]

Prompt F - 1

[ He understands the need to practice on a dummy, but he can't help but ask his partner he's practicing with one thing: ]

Go ahead. ... I have healing artes in case someone is hurt. [ Though, it might not hurt to learn how to help other people like this, regardless. At the least, he can teach his human friends how to do this. ]

Wildcard

[ Feel free to throw anything my way! ]

Ozen | Made in Abyss

[personal profile] staredintotheabyss 2018-11-19 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
D-2

[Ozen is not a friendly woman in the best of times and doesn't really find much enjoyment in holidays. Not to say she's incapable of enjoying things like ordinary people do, but coming to her newly christened alien residence and making demands of her in the form a song isn't going to win her over, in fact she's starting to get really, REALLY, pissed.

Her fuse is a short one, as she's ready to make an example of the carolers revealing her one of her hands from her cloak and shaping it into a fist....someone should try to stop her before things gets messy
]

Please stop.

E-1

[Ozen is no stranger to unusual fauna, and considering how much of a stranger she is in this land, it's a good idea to learn as much as she can about them. However Ozen doesn't wear her emotions on her sleeve, so making one talk might be tricky, however she's no stranger to doing things that she normally wouldn't to get to the bottom line

With an expressionless face, she turns to her partner.
]

Emotional reactions are what get these creatures to talk, yes? I think I know what might do it, but I need you to promise me, whatever you see or hear, you will not speak this to anyone else. Am I clear?


F-2

[She has traveled to the pits of the abyss and rescued people from things any sane person wouldn't even dream of, this is actually nothing to her. Though the most important part of any rescue is know the condition of the rescuee, and Ozen isn't exactly a people person, though that doesn't mean she can't try]

...Are you going to stay alive with me? Or will all this have been a waste of time?

cliffedandmarried: (Cuz we both know how this ends)

Yuuri Kozukata | Fatal Frame V

[personal profile] cliffedandmarried 2018-11-19 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
[C3:]

[Dealing with a large collection of troublesome things is really not outside of Yuuri's general expertise. Collecting, finding things - this is all good, too! In fact, it's pretty easy and second nature to her. She's great at seeking out things in weird niches and locating even things that probably can't be seen by normal eyes.

Unfortunately, she might be... too good at this. Because she walks back in toward the town center with two armfuls of them. They wiggle and squabble with each other, and one tries to escape, only for her to duck suddenly to grab at it. And then again. And again.

At least the one hanging off her elbow is having some fun, swinging into her hip with every step. Finally, one manages to wiggle out of her grip, hits the ground, and runs. Maybe your character kicks it, trips over it, runs into it... maybe they see it escape, or maybe they just hear her-
] Ah- hey! [As she takes a few steps toward it, sort of waddle-running under the weird load she has.

Help.
]

[E1:]

[There's a big (truly, giant) floppy-eared rabbit in front of her, and it... honestly seems to be more interested in nibbling on the bits of hay around them than listening to what she has to say. Apparently the... god animal... things... are supposed to be able to speak? And she's supposed to talk to animals until one talks back...??? How in the world did she get roped into this one? (Spoilers: Someone asked and she has no ability to say no)

So she has to speak to it. But it's not responding, like she's pretty sure it wouldn't. She thought she'd feel more silly, but maybe this is a little more therapeutic than writing in those journals that never seemed to solve any of her problems before. At least she doesn't expect the rabbit to believe she can talk to ghosts. But what to talk about? She just starts rambling about random thoughts she'd had while reading over the folklore notes on the mountain.
] -- But I'm not quite sure the folklorist was right about people wanting to just return to nature by dying up there. [Well, that's a weird half of a conversation to come in on.] Though he did have a really good point about it being used to protect the world of the living. But if there were originally three miko enshrined up there, why wouldn't they need people to take the place of the miko that was, say, the pillar of Fire?

[The rabbit hops over to another side of the pen. Did your character hear all that?] ... I don't think this one's a...n Ah... Arehtei...?

[E3:]

[Oh, apathy she knows. Apathy she maybe knows a little too well. Okay, maybe she's eternally caught between Caring Too Much and Honestly Not Caring At All in the way that depression sort of works, but just... not feeling anything at all? That could be done.

No emotions. No attachments to-... okay, that's harder than it seems like. Maybe a little more concentration?

... Did all the miko up on that mountain have to go through training as intense as this? Of course, that means, when she opens her eyes, a bit of a decorative fountain nearby cuts loose and just about runs over her foot. She hops out of the way in just enough time for the water to wash over up to her ankles.

Actually maybe the apathy is working too well. She's just staring at it. Probably not the best thing to do.
]

[F1:]

[Tell her something's mandatory, she'll be there. Tell her something is entirely optional, she'll be there. Tell her absolutely nothing but make it look like it might be important and she'll be there. That's just protag lyfe for you.

What she's not expecting is to stand up from chest compressions on the dummy, nodding at your character - whomever her partner is to take over for her - only to feel a sharp, sudden sting on the back of her leg. She jumps with a soft noise, and turns around to see what it is.

The wound burns a little, and it hurts a little more when she pulls the little dart out and looks at it. A dart, or impact syringe, which means about -- ... exactly the time she realizes she's been injected with something, is about exactly the same moment there's this very strange sensation of falling (is she jumping off that cliff again?) and the next thing she knows, she is on the ground, not staring at a corrupted ghost, but at a CPR dummy and someone's feet. The burning sensation is not coming from around her in the water (there is no water), just from within. Also, everything hurts. Like she just fell like a sack of rocks to the ground.
] ... Ow...

D-1

[You present a Luna a challenge, and you can bet your ass she's going to take it! But without her Pokemon, this is going to be interesting.

She knows her way around the wilderness and trees, but not this particular kind of tree which would normally be found in colder regions, which is slowly starting to bite her in the backside and the branches start getting thinner and more bunched together.

Also the height is making it colder than it already was, which is something she isn't used to.


Achooo! Jeez, this thing just goes on forever.


D-3

[Catching small creatures for various rewards? Ha! Have you met her!? She'd take the challenge even if there wasn't any rewards involved. And there's one way she knows to catch an imp, is with another imp as she walks the streets with a tattered looking creatures as the also appreciate the sights of the town.]

Hey you seen any elves around here?


F-1

[This is something she knows she should have more experience with, after all look at the life threatening adventures that have happened to her since moving to Alola, and she know it's just dummy and no-one is in any real danger, buuuuuuut]

Ohmygosh what am I supposed to do here!? Oh no, I'm gonna fail, someone is gonna die, what should I do , what should I do, what should do!?

Dewey Duck | Ducktales (2017)

[personal profile] adventuroustriplet 2018-11-19 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
B - GT1103

[ The taskboard has set Blue members against Red members, it was practically screaming his name. Okay, there were some other tasks Dewey was interested in but those were more dangerous and he might try to talk Uncle Scrooge into taking him. The paintball war is safe while also being fun, something to pass the time in between adventures.

So he's set up base in populated area, his gun aimed and ready to fire at anyone who even has the smallest hint of the color red in their wardrobe! Sorry if you're not actually in the Red Club but Dewey isn't taking any prisoners. ]


The Blue Club will be victorious!

[ AND FIRE! ]

E-1

[ Okay, Dewey could not pass up this opportunity to prank people. There's a group of animals all gathered together and the creatures called "humans" are attempting to make them talk. Seeing as he's a duck who can talk - he's in a unique position here to trick the humans. He's sitting in the pen with the other animals and when someone approaches, well... ]

Hey, feed me!

[ A group of natives jump back at the sudden talking animal. Really, it isn't as if Dewey is the only talking animal around Verens. These people are so weird. ]

Bring me dessert!

[ How long can he keep this going? ]

F-2

[ The whole First Aid course could be something that's important in one of Dewey's future adventures and normally he'd leave the nerd stuff to Huey but he isn't sure where his older triplet is right now. Plus he's been watching and it actually looks exciting! He's already participated in the CPR course and dodged the poison darts, done the snake-charming surgery and now all that's left is the rescue obstacle course.

Unfortunately Dewey is a lot smaller than a lot of the people here and he doesn't really want to be the one being carried. So while he is on the look-out for a partner that's more reasonably sized, he may have to settle for being "in distress".

Which he's milking. He lays sprawled on the ground, one hand to his forehead. ]
My leg is broken! I'll never make it out of here on my own. [ An overdramatic sigh. ] Leave me here to die.

[ Now his hand reaches out to grab the closest piece of clothing of his partner, pulling himself into a sitting situation. ] Save yourself!

[ Dewey flops back down. ]

Wildcard

[ Jumping rope isn't really his style so instead Dewey has found another use for it. A climbing rope! A kid has to keep his adventure skills sharp in between trips so he's managed to tie one end around a beam and is now in the middle of scaling the side of a building.

While humming his own made-up theme song. ]

Ochaco Uraraka | My Hero Academia

[personal profile] zerograv 2018-11-19 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
PROMPT E-1 - Make 'em Talk
[She's been trying. Honestly. It's a lot harder than it looks, to get animals to talk. Ochaco's been at it for almost 8 hours by now and frankly she's pretty exhausted, emotionally and physically. In her theory, if she's exuding particularly strong emotions, it'd be more likely for the unidentified Arehtei to talk right? Currently she's sitting on her knees, peering down at a creature that looks like a cross between a badger and a butterfly. The wings are translucent, and of appropriate size for the badger like creature. Around them, Ochaco's effort to carry on a particularly chipper and friendly conversation has sprouted glittering flowers with butterfly wings for petals. It's quite the sight for anyone else out here trying to do the same.

Slowly, she tilts her head at the creature and hums thoughtfully.]


So, by now I'm pretty convinced you won't talk for just any reason. And I GUESS it makes sense, considering what's happened recently. You're pretty small, so it might even be a pretty good idea. But I promise I'm one of the good guys!! So... if you wanted to whisper something at me I can lean in and it'll be our secret okay?

[and so she does so, the badgerfly not seeming particularly concerned. That is, until it steps up and shoves it's cold nose right into her ear in curiosity. Ochaco yelps in surprise, tumbling back on her back as she laughs and clutches her ear, the flowers she'd made with her emotions before bursting up into the sky.]


PROMPT D-1 - Tree Toppers
[So, Ochaco's not really one to judge, but this is pretty weird as far as traditional holiday activities goes. But when in Rome, right? She's currently staring up at the huge tree that currently still dons the golden crown prize. The idea of being winter royalty isn't nearly as appealing as how much money that crown might be worth. As she stares up towards the top of the tree, she's not aware of the little spirals being drawn at her feet giving away her calculating. Maybe the best solution here would be to make a quick partnership.

With a determined little nod she turns to look for someone nearby who looks like they're about to try and compete. Her eyes land on someone finally and she steps over to set a hand on their arm.]
Hey, do you want to try and work together? I don't really want the title. [there's a grin on her face, her voice toned lightly, little sparkles popping into place around her thanks to her chipper attitude.]


PROMPT F-2 - I Will Survive
[Huh. This shouldn't be too hard right? Whoever's been partnered with Ochaco might be inclined to think she's going to play the part of damsel in distress, but instead she's currently doing a few stretches to prepare herself to carry whoever it is she's going to be working with. The obstacles look pretty challenging, but thanks to her time at UA, she's pretty confident she can take them. She'd be a pretty poor rescue hero if she couldn't handle this much! Despite her determined expression, once their names get called she turns to her partner.]

Okay, are you ready? I'm pretty sure I can get us through there quickly, So don't worry about doing your best! [she pauses.] Oh! Unless you wanted to do the carrying part, I guess I kinda assumed a little much, huh?

[The ritual was all too easy to wander into even for someone who still has the barest grasp on how the emotion magic of this place works: there was a decent crowd, a common goal, and also, the smell of delicious warm chocolate coffee. It's one of these that Lancelot has his hands wrapped around and is holding up to his face now to breathe the steam in. He probably stands out some in the suit of armor he's wearing, but at least he doesn't have a helmet on, and he's taken the gauntlets off too, because what's the point of curling up with a hot cup of coffee if you can't even feel it on your palms? Mmmmm.

That said, he is definitely operating under a misunderstanding here.]


Coffee does make one feel more awake. But is this really enough? . . . And, though I hate to criticize such a wholehearted effort, someone ought to tell them that the word is "awake." Unless, perhaps, I am meant to wake someone from a slumber, and so make them feel "woke."

[So he muses. You might not want to nod off in his line of sight. Modern slang is hard.]


F-2: thanks for getting that song stuck in my head

[Well, here you are. You've been paired up for this obstacle course with a 6'3" knight, and yes, he still has that armor on. Unless you're of the big 'n' buff persuasion yourself, this probably seems like it's going to be a piece of cake; Lancelot definitely seems like he could carry most people for at least some distance.

But things are never that easy. Maybe predictably, the staff is insisting that Lancelot be the one princess-carried through the course, no matter how big or small his partner is. He's not thrilled about it either:]


No! I insist. It's only proper that I be the one—I am a knight! I have the necessary experience in these things.

[Of course, that's probably why the staff is so insistent.

Have fun?]



D-2: D is for Decisions

[Maybe you're at the grocery store for anything other than figs, you lucky soul. Maybe it's a mystery to you why this man is standing in an aisle with a package of dried figs in one hand and a 10-pack of those disposable earplugs in the other, staring at them both with the dead eyes of a man undecided.

Or maybe you know exactly the depths of the pain in his voice when he mutters under his breath, but within earshot:]


God help me! I can still hear their singing even here and now . . . !

[There are no carolers nearby. Yet. They could catch up at any moment!]

[ Christmas is supposed to be some romantic holiday where everyone is happy and with their special someone, but since Samatoki may end up spending Christmas here, he can't exactly be happy. Not that he has a special someone in Yokohama or anything--! He would at least like to greet his sister a Merry Christmas before he goes off living his #thuglife. The lack of things to be happy about in this place have made him exceptionally cranky, so please forgive him when he's out on the streets with a bunch of carolers crying and he's holding one of them by the collar. ]

If you don't go away, I'm gonna have to kill you all!

[ Over songs and figgy pudding? Yes. Samatoki has quite the temper and his violent side always surfaces so long as there's a reason to. He doesn't actually mean it, though. But hopefully someone stops him before he gets even angrier. As it is, his lack of patience and his annoyance has already manifested through the sound of blaring gunshots and sirens. There aren't any, but the sounds are definitely loud. ]



E-1
[ Somehow, Mr. Hardcore, Yokohama's Bad Boy, is here with the group of people trying to coax animals into speaking. He's seated somewhere with a white rabbit, and he's somehow found props to put on said rabbit. Now, the cute animal is wearing a pair of glasses, a black suit with suspenders, and a pair of red gloves. He seems pretty amused with what he's done to the rabbit, and instead of making it talk, he waves the rabbit's front legs about, as if following an unheard rhythm.

Then... the inevitable happens. Samatoki raps. ]


The corrupt cop, call me 45 Rabbit
I'll puff smoke in your face, and I'm not gonna quit
Who cares about the Arehtei when my dick is so big
Ha ha-- just messin', it's not

[ ... THIS RAP IS ONLY FUNNY TO HIM.......... god why. ]



F-1
What the fuck!

[ Samatoki's used to getting hit, being a yakuza and all. Violence is not something he enjoys, but he's toughened up physically and mentally due to all the fights he's gotten into in the past. The poison stings, and it's why he screams, but he's still standing. In fact, he's abandoned the dummy and his partner and is now looking for the culprit.

Then he gets hit with another dart, then another, and it's followed by a string of curses from the white haired man. ]


Fucking cut it out! Who the hell's doing this, I'll kill you! [ Except now there's so much poison in his system that he's spitting out blood. Thanks, doc!

[Toshinori wasn’t entirely sure what the locals actually wanted him to do, ‘try to make them talk’ didn’t really make a whole lot of sense to him, but he also didn’t really care too much. What he cared about right this second was the fact that he had an excuse to sit down in the middle of a group of what looked like miniature lop-eared rabbits. He picked one up, it’s little fuzzy body almost completely engulfed by his giant hands, grinning ear to ear.]

You are just the cutest thing I’ve ever seen, yes you are!!! [He laughed, shifting to pet its head with one finger.] I have no idea what I’m actually supposed to be doing right now, but I could stay here all day.

Rise to the top and become Winter Royalty? Well, it's straightforward at least. If only it were ever that easy.

[Surely you must need to have your beloved trapped in stone or have the Raven Lord harass your realm nonstop in order to qualify for some level of royalty, but never mind. Perhaps Orphea is a little jaded thanks to everything she's had to put up with in the Nexus.

Anyway, sure, she's down for becoming Winter Royalty of this realm. It can all be part of her becoming a hero the Nexus deserves... Plus it does sound a little fun. Orphea starts rising into the air on a platform of dark swirling magic before she notices someone nearby. Stopping her ascent she offers out a hand.]


Coming aboard? We can rise to the top together... Or have a nice view of the place if the crown has already been taken. We'll have to see.

E-1

[Why is she talking to a raven. Of all the animals it could be. Why a raven. At least she can have some fun with it if nothing else.]

Who's a little destroyer of realms? Who broke all his promises? Was it you? It was! Oh yes it was.

[Were her tone any dryer then you would be worried she was in sore need of a drink. Orphea is just full of salt. That's all.

Shockingly enough though, the raven responds with a quick "it was!" which prompts Orphea to stare hard at the bird.]


... Don't let anyone catch you saying that. We'll have someone thinking you're one of those Arehtei.

F-2

Sorry, I'm not one for being carried around. I think I'd prefer to do the carrying myself.

[And how does someone as clearly strong and muscled as Orphea intend to carry anyone? With her magic of course. Black tendrils sporting teeth and spikes shoot up from the ground before the knit together, making a seat for her partner to use. You know, if you even want to get on the creepy looking dark magic platform.]

If you're not happy with that then I can always carry you in the mouth... That would be more exciting, though the teeth can be a little pointy. Promise I won't hurt you. [What kind of champion would she be if she went and hurt her ally? Really now.]

The young blonde didn't have a single clue. But as she was trying to go about her day she realised they were relentless. Here. There. Everywhere she went they were there singing.

It eventually got to the point where she was covering up her ears and trying her hardest to just ignore them. But that ultimately failed. With a small sigh of defeat she looked down at the floor.]


If I knew what you wanted I would give you it, but I have no idea what it even is. [A small frown passed by her lips as she started to ponder over the possibilities. It must be a pudding of some kind, so maybe she could attempt to make it herself or see if she could find some. But instead, as she turns her head she points to the first person she sees.]

You there! Can you help me on this mission of figgy pudding importance?

F-1
[Poison Darts. really? Minako had been a little too focused on the task at hand to even notice one coming right at her, hitting her square in the arm. It was only when it hit that she even realised and started to feel a little dizzy.]

Timeout for a moment I appear to have a dart in my arm.

[She moved to pull it out before leaning to the side, sitting up wasn't the best idea but she was trying her best to deal with the situation at hand. Although as she looks around it looked like the world was spinning.]

Is it just me or is the world spinning in circles?

C: Amulets
So, just curious but are there people here who have someone they like or love to put it to a better term?

[Because to get a better understanding of such an amulet she had to, of course, talk about what she considered to be te most important of subjects.]

If so I, Minako can help... Hopefully. I mean I would love to try because love is an important thing and I would want people to have it.

C:

I must admit that I still find this form of conversation to be a little unsettling. I don't quite like people reading my thoughts, but now it seems as though there is little choice with this mode of conversation. Convenient though. It does make relaying information to others to be far easier than trying other means to get in contact.

How does anyone else feel about telepathy though?


E-1:

[Newt was rather torn. He did not particularly approve of the capture of so many creatures just to try and gain information. If anything, he was quite against it. His curiosity, however, was burning. He had been quite interested in the Arehtei and the creatures of this world and begrudgingly found himself at the strange zoo.

He was currently running his hand over the back of one of the larger creatures. Newt wasn't one to quite listen to others so easily and didn't seem intent on trying to get the creatures to talk to him unless they wished to.

His affinity with beasts have always been high though.
] Easy there. Nervous are we? I imagine so, given the circumstances. Don't you worry though. It will only be temporary and you will be freed back to the wilds of your home.

[There's a sigh.] Surely, they could have considered better options than displacing countless creatures to their whims and bothering us on top of this.

E-2:

I beg your pardon?

[Are these even actual emotions?]

I fail to see how you some of these fall under the spectrum of what we consider emotions. Hot and cold, as far as I am concerned, are something that your body feels physically. [How is he supposed to make someone feel rich as an emotion? Do they expect him to throw money at them or something.]

For Merlin's sake, what does woke and lit even mean in this context.

F-1:

[It's very lucky that handling apothecary needs was something Newt was very good at. He had spent countless years studying creatures and the effects that they can leave and how to handle them. It is, however, a little concerning that staff member were purposely poisoning them for the sake of an exercise.]

Hold still for a moment. The sooner you let me handle this poison the sooner you'll feel better.

I'm sure neither of us can quite understand what could possibly be going through their heads by doing this, but we best get you fixed in a Jiffy.

F-2:

Absolutely not. [He glanced at the obstacle course before glancing at his partner.] Surely they jest that they think that some of us can manage this course while carrying someone else? Preposterous. This is quite outrageous and I've seen my fair share of outrageous things.

Well, at least they were harmless, right? And she has plenty of actual combat training, so this should be a fairly easy job--

That is, until she herself gets pelted by a paintball or two. Turning on the perpetrator, she scowls.]


You're gonna pay for that.

[Are you the perp? Are you coming to help her? Or are you a bystander?]

[It's been a week, and Blake still doesn't fully understand how 'telepathy' works. She's heard plenty of conversations via it, but actually speaking through it is a different story altogether.

... No time like the present, then. She takes a deep breath, and starts thinking out loud.]


Hello? Can anyone hear me? ... This sounds kind of dumb, thinking this to myself-- wait, everyone can hear that, too. Um... hi? I was wondering if someone might be able to help me better understand these strange... 'emotional effects' that I see happen sometimes. Or that happen around me. [It's happened more than a handful of times now, whether it's the heat rising around her from slight embarrassment or frustration, to a chill in the air if she's trying to avoid people. It's like she can't even fully scope the place out without being noticed immediately, even if people can't actually see her.] Is there a way to better control them? Or is this just something that can't be helped?

--

D-1

[Winter Royalty, hm? Well, in terms of climbing trees, Blake was pretty good. Though these seemed quite challenging compared to the trees she was used to. Granted, she generally used them for hiding rather than climbing, this seemed like a good enough challenge.

Needing help though? Nah, sis, she got it.

She zips up the branches, but too fast; one branch wobbles, catching her off guard and causing her to fall right back down.

Her next attempt fared little better; even though she got a bit higher, she ended up getting careless as she neared the top, and fell right back down again.

She goes at this for a while, until it's clear to her that she either needs to slow the heck down, or actually gets some help from a spotter. Sure, she could just give up and walk away, but that just means the tree would win! And she can't allow that. She will conquer the tree somehow!!

Care to offer some help before she winds up getting herself hurt? There's definitely some heat coming from her position from the frustration she's exuding...]


--

F-2

[How did she get roped into this? Well, it was mandatory. But while she was fast, it was a different story when carrying someone else. Still, if she had to, she would do it. It was better than her being carried by someone.

She turns to the person assigned to her, with a half-apologetic, half-solemn look on her face.]
Sorry in advance. I can't promise this will be a smooth ride. You ready to do this?

prompt d-1


All valued treasures of the world--of any world--belong to the king.

[ And the king, of course, is Gilgamesh.

This is his answer for anybody wondering what he's doing with the Gates of Babylon shimmering just behind him as he gazes up at the shining, shimmering point of interest at the very tippy-top of one of those gold-crowned trees. As much as Gilgamesh hates being told what to do, or goaded into doing things for someone else's benefit, he appreciates gold and proving he's better than everything else far more.

That being said, climbing the tree is such a plebian thing to do. There's got to be something in his treasury that could retrieve the treasure for him--even if it's something as brutally simple as say, wrapping the Chains of Heaven around the tree and giving a good pull, but that seems a touch drastic.

Then again, it's Gilgamesh. Drastic is step one, and you don't want to see step two. He's all aglow with the sort of pleased puzzlement that surrounds a cat trying to find its way to an unsuspecting mouse. ]


prompt d-2


[ See, the thing about Gilgamesh is that his tolerance for bullshit is a mysterious thing; on one hand, his temper is easily riled and the rebukes he favors are, uh... sharp, to say the last. As in he tries to skewer things when they send him a step too far beyond his realm of putting-up-with-this-nonsense.

On the other hand, there's a part of his wicked little brain that delights in the misery of humanity others, and if something brings amusement to the king, it can be tolerated. The carolers may be trying to make his neighbors uncomfortable (and given time, will likely start to annoy Gilgamesh more than they amuse him), but for now, well. There's something to be said about the droning repetition of song--namely that it's got to be torture for more than just the intended victims of the maddening chant. ]


Wouldn't it be funny if they sang until their throats bled?

[ Gilgamesh is an uninvolved third party, and the misery of the annoying and insignificant is always a good time in the king's book. Suffer, ants, suffer. ]

prompt f-1


[ Gilgamesh has absolutely not read anything that's been presented to him thusfar, because the idea of a mandatory anything is insulting. Especially mandatory First Aid--what, like he cares if somebody else lives or dies? It's not his problem and never will be his problem unless a very specific set of circumstances come into play, and buddy, 99% of the world's locked out of that route with no hope of getting to a point where it'll actually work out for them.

He's got the booklet held loosely in his hand and a haughty look of utter disdain on his face, as if he's contemplating opening the dummy's airways with a few pieces of his treasury--that'd solve the air passage problem very handily, now wouldn't it. ]

[ The carollers are hot on his heels as Prompto climbs over a wall and blindly drops down on the other side. There’s excited for the holidays, and then there’s attempting to shepherd a victim to the grocery store so he can buy you your preferred snack.

Yeah, they passed “excited” awhile back. They passed a lot of things awhile back. He feels like he’s run ten kilometres around town. Prompto’s faster than the natives, but he hasn’t learned the lay of the land. The carollers melt out of shadows like daemons.
]

Look, I already told you, I don’t know how to make figgy pudding. Aaaand I’ve never had figgy pudding, and seriously- you could’ve tried the next house and gotten figgy pudding anytime. Not my fault you thought I was the only option.

[ The carollers are still singing. After a moment, he realizes he’s in front of the grocery store. Again. ]

Ohh, come on! That’s not fair!

Prompt A

[ Fitting in should be old hat. Prompto knows he can make all the little adjustments necessary to walk through Verens like he belongs here, but it’s a lot to take in at once. Everyone else, including the “Otherworlders”, seem to be handling with aplomb. He wants to be unsurprised when he goes outside. Today’s surprise was seeing a crystalline statue and realizing that was a person and there was nothing he could do to get them out. He must’ve stared at it for ages, wondering if she felt every moment and was stuck in there, screaming, and is that why they can take memories away?

No one else stares at it so long that they don’t notice when it starts to snow. When snow lands on his eyelashes, Prompto blinks rapidly, shoves his hands in his pockets, and heads “home.”

But it’s not “home”, and that’s weighing on him (just that, he tells himself, there’s nothing else wrong). Other otherworlders call their apartments home. He heard them do it. He’s as stressed over the need to be cool about the city, the fact that he’s apparently been here before and can’t remember it, the singing stalkers... as he is about being kinda kidnapped.

Although, he was magically absconded from a cell so he’s definitely more stressed about not being stressed about Empathaeis than he is about being “kidnapped”.

Prompto shuffles down the street, wishing he had his camera and trying not to literally kick rocks. The goal is to get his head on straight. That doesn’t include dragging himself around looking like the saddest hound in the litter.

The white snowflakes clinging to his blond hair try to be yellow instead, but the best any of them can manage is a washed-out, half-hearted blue.

Unfortunately, Satou has never actually used a paintball gun before. It's also a lot heavier than the glocks she's accustomed to using, so there's so struggle as she takes aim at a wall. Gotta practice first, right? But between the recoil and the weight, her aim is terrible. She ends up shooting at a random passerby-- You!]

[The Witch of Sins can't pass up a challenge where pride is involved. As soon as she heard about the tree topper challenge, Satou raced to a tree. She's now standing at the base and bouncing excitably on her heels. Already tiny, she looks even smaller compared to the huge tree.]

Ah, so cool! I get to climb all the way to the top? [She smirks confidently, talking like she's already won. Her competitive spark becomes more contained by false modesty and an excited smile, which Satou thinks is more restrained than it is.] Let's play fair, okay? On the count of three?
Prompt F | Stayin’ Alive
[CPR sounds easy enough. Satou is all on board for medical training and expecting a normal test. She's running through the steps for CPR in her head, looking serious and calm.

Until the first poison dart whizzes by her ear. Suddenly she goes from focusing on the CPR dummy to pushing her partner to the ground and leaning over them protectively.]

adora wouldn't necessarily call herself competitive.. okay no, blatantly untrue, she's absolutely competitive. a military upbringing can foster the innate desire to be the very best, like no one ever was, and whether or not a tree climbing contest is kind of stupid is irrelevant. she will get that crown!!

transforming into a giant powerful woman isn't cheating, right? ]


For the honor of Grayskull!

[ cue the blinding flash of light, the magical girl transformation sequence, and she's off, an eight foot powerhouse is launching herself into the nearest tree, shining crystal sword on her back. fair hair billowing, she leaps and swings athletically from branch to branch, the very picture of heroism and power - at least until the tree creaks beneath her and begins to sway. it's.. not a particularly large tree, and she is a particularly large girl. the trunk groans in protest, until the entire tree begins to bend toward the ground. with a shriek, adora clings to the closest branch, and the pine hits the ground with a crash, the little gold crown on top rolling to the ground with a merry tink..]


ii; we won't go until we get some: local teenager burns down kitchen
[ cooking, tho.

adora has quite a few survival skills under her belt, but her training definitely left holes in her life skills. she can definitely prepare, like... powdered food from a bag. but real food? meals? nooo way.

clutching her shopping basket, adora stares down the aisle ahead of her, the... baking aisle. there is so much.. stuff. she looks like a deer in the headlights. baking soda? is that for drinking? is it the same thing as.. baking powder? someone, please assist. ]

Sooo.. I guess I'll need.. figs?


iii; i will survive: football carry
[ now, here's where she can shine for sure. obstacle courses!! with a partner! she can do this. does someone need a carry? here it comes again - for the honor of grayskull!! adora swings her giant crystal sword and shouts the magic words and you're now partnered with a giant glowing woman.

grinning, she cracks her knuckles. ]


Ready?

[ she'll just.. scoop you right up football style underneath one arm. ]

i. prompt e ( emotional effects )
[ Alex is sure she has felt her fair share of apathy - but with the hopelessness of her past behind her (she so hopes), it's surely a hard emotion to pinpoint. A part of her misses Worick misses his smile and his pervertedness, and she grits her teeth at the thought of his note telling her to leave while she still had the chance.

Then, everything grew chaotic and frayed around the edges. Nicholas was still here... but not with her. Not anymore. Alex wants to go home more than anything; Ergastulum was a terrible prison, and she can't remember the last time she went without crying...

The apathy around her wavers like heat in the air. The colour to the jovial gathering area flickers from dark grey to its brightest flaring hues. It seems as if she couldn't decide on how to feel right then, her expression one of horror and regret as she stood there, viciously trembling. ]

ii. prompt c
[ Her voice comes out surprisingly clear, though she sounds confused, and with good reason. ]

( Does anyone want to help me with a certain task? There are so many to choose from! I'm a little bit overwhelmed on my own, heh! )

iii. wildcard!
