Seeing as how it's been about seven months since the last time we did this, it's high time for another...


TEST DRIVE MEME!

Post with the characters you're thinking of apping in to see how they do! Either they've been here a while, are just arriving, or anything you want!

Have fun!

[Madara listens, perhaps looking impassive as he does, though attentive.]

Nobles... betrayal... commoners.
[Those are not alien concepts to him, since the feudal lords are this way as well, so he can imagine a similar situation.]

Being unable to do anything is bad, but being accused of that... it's sure gotta be worse. [There is a pause, and he gives a shake of head.] You remind me a lot of a friend I had, but... you're only less easily depressed. [In the last few minutes, he had been reminded of Hashirama a great deal.]

Adults are all the same. They only see what they want to see. [His own eyes narrowed in anger.]

[lieutenantantichrist]

[Blake is eying him all right. He's followed by a little Snubbull who taps curiously on the crystal ball.]

Get out of here and quit trying to scam people, kid.

[throw_stone]

[It actually feels rather nice, to let this off his chest. Ramzas' expression is starting to soften.]
I'm not sure about that. There may be a few not clouded by their own sights, but...
Quite a few of them are. We'll not get manipulated, correct? [He says, with a smile.] Because if we did, we would end up like them. Though, this friend... one from your land? Perhaps he shall end up here. [A nod, before...] If my Skarmory does shed feathers, I shall try to craft a blade for you, as well. I've never done it before.

[maddyragequits]

[They would not get manipulated, indeed. Madara has a strong will, and his own idea for peace.]
We both are stronger than them. It's all about our will, and they can't get to that! [At the mention of Hashirama finding his way here, he stares fora few seconds, because wouldn't this just be the best...?]

If your-- You'd do that? For me? [He has rarely been so stunned in his life prior to now.] Isn't that supposed to just happen really rarely?

[throw_stone]

I'm not quite sure. The Chocobo - um, those are birds like Skarmory without the feathers - we had at the Akademy shed quite a few feathers after battles.
[Of course, this bird is a lot different...]
But if it happens, it would be better then abandoning the feathers. If I did, they could fall into the hands of somebody cruel.

[On this fine, sunny day in Ecruteak City one can spot a man in a long, red coat (which probably makes him look extremely out of place), sitting on a bench near the local Gym with a small tourist guidebook in his hand. As he turns the pages of the book idly, he tosses a glance or two in the direction of the Gym building, muttering something to himself.]

Geez, that's some spooky shit... Guess I'll be skipping this one.

[It seems somebody doesn't approve of Morty's Ghost-type specialization.]

[maddyragequits]

And we're not gonna be cruel. [He shakes his head.] I really just... want to protect... [Who? He couldn't really think of who or what he had in this new world.] This place still feels like a long, weird dream for me. [He turned his gaze to the sky.] At least I have someone I feel familiar with, somehow.

[Dark eyes return to him, and he gives a nod.] It sure is nice meeting you, Ramza.

[throw_stone]

The truth. That's all we can protect for now.
[Ramza is smiling! It almost feels like a dream for him, as well.]
It's my pleasure, Madara. I suppose we should exchange PokeGear numbers as well... we did not have anything like these devices back home.

[notchinese]

You don't need to contact Yumi cause she's right here.

[Speak of the devil, a Yumi appears! Her Medicham was lurking behind her, giving off a quiet creepy laugh as he stared at the Monferno and his trainer. No Creeper, behave.]

You wanted to ask me something?

[superordinary]

[ Okay, they can have all the pleasantries some other time. Naegi will inevitably ask her to hang out with him later so he can finish her free-time events and gain friendship points. For now, he's just going to spill the information she wants like the good protag he is. ]

In the world of Pokémon. We're currently on Route 32, south of Violet City. The region is called Johto.

[maddyragequits]

[The smile may possibly be contagious, since Madara does too.]

Truth. That's what we'll do! [There is a firm nod. What unites them now is a common goal.]
Oh right, PokeGear... You'll be one of the first on there. [Returning to his backpack, which was in the nearby vicinity but out of the water, he takes out the device.]

[throw_stone]

[He's glad of this... it's been a while since he's been this relieved.]
It's the same here - I've not put anybody on mine. [He says, getting it out. Now how does he do this...?] But I am glad it's somebody who has such a strong will.

[maddyragequits]

How long have you been here? [He asks, fiddling with the device, one of his first times using it.] I've sort of literally just come around... but it's great that I found this river. [These seemed to be great meeting places!] And you.

[It did feel like maybe, just maybe a tiny piece of home was there.]

[throw_stone]

Only a few weeks. [He shakes his head.] Enough to figure out a few things, like the use of Skarmory. But there's still a lot I don't know - but places like this...

They're nice. [Ramza gives a sigh, grabbing a piece of grass in his fingers.] I've heard the dead may roam here, as well... I wonder if Delita would like it here?

[lyokoprincess]

(There she is! For a moment, Aelita thought she'd gone shopping ahead of her. And Odd turns to eye the Medicham with steely eyes before she holds him back; no fighting unless it's an official battle or they're training.)

Yeah. You've been in Johto longer than me, so I was wondering if the rumors were true about Whitney really crying after she loses every Gym battle.

[maddyragequits]

[He had fetched the instruction manual from his backpack to look up how to share contacts, pointing it out to his new friend and following the steps.]

The dead...? [This brings him into a thoughtful posture, and he dimly wonders just what his other brothers would say, what they would do... but shakes his head in the end.] For your sake, I can just hope they do. [He states, somewhat amazingly subdued.]

[readapts]

[It's the body defiler... Not as though Chihiro knows that besides that Togami did, ehm, something to the scene after he died. Asahina was nice and didn't want to tell him the details.

Probably for the best.]

Ah... Togami-kun? [He sounds about as tentative as you'd expect him to sound.]

[readapts]

Eh?

[Oh. Well, would you fancy this...]

Hagakure-kun? [...] Um, is now the time you should be telling fortunes...?

[So he's an opportunist? New world ain't so freaky?? And isn't 50,000 expensive... Chihiro's pretty sure he's never seen that much money here at any time.]

[readapts]

K-- Kirigiri-san...?

[That hair and that-- demeanour is unmistakable, now isn't it! Hello, Kirigiri, how about them ghosts? No, he's definitely alive, but nevertheless.]

[cluesandploys]

And you're attributing that to the "game experience"; somehow, it's been written into the rules of the phenomenon that such things can exist, by whatever standards of logic this particular "game" has opted to follow.

[cluesandploys]

[Yes, good, spill all those deets. The faster they get to the bottom of things, the faster the mysteries of this situation will be resolved to her satisfaction, which means she can go back to the important things in life like being won over by the protagonist's offers of friendship and fooling herself into thinking she's above functioning like a normal human being.

...never mind that the deets sound completely implausible and are really just kind of reinforcing her perception that she was too dangerous to be allowed to continue in the game and now she's in some kind of Matrix-esque stasis as punishment, but.

(She could never be satisfied with that, obviously, but it's a little more tolerable because Naegi-kun is here, anyway. Whoever set all this up did a thorough job at making it appealing.)]

A different world? You're suggesting a theory of parallel universes — one not identical to our own, but modeled instead on a...game.

[An explanation missing critical pieces of evidence and with holes so wide you could drive a fire truck through sorry, Celes-san, but she might as well hear everything Naegi's got to say before arriving at any conclusions.]

How did we arrive here? There shouldn't have been anything about our previous circumstances that would've allowed for this. You were...do you remember where you were, Naegi-kun?

[cluesandploys]

[Because there are plenty of more efficient ways to murder than a chicken, explains the enrolled student of murderschool.]

Safety in numbers? Do you think that always holds true?

[WHY DOES SHE FIND THAT AMUSING? The world may never know.]

[cluesandploys]

[Okay, you know what, let's just pretend this conversation takes place sometime after her...encounter with Ishimaru because that will save everyone a lot of time and grief and also BUT YOU'RE DEAD THO-ness, accordingly.

Hello, Fujisaki-san. Or would that be Fujisaki-kun? She's aware, you know, because of that whole thing where she unhesitatingly felt up your gratuitously crucified corpse.

#this well-adjusted young lady]

Fujisaki-san.

[SHE WILL HUMOR YOU THIS TIME.]

Ishimaru-kun said there were several of...us, here.

[shslasshat]

[Good Asahina. Wow, defiler is a bit of a strong word. He fingerpainted with the blood already there, he didn't make any fresh wounds, thank.

Togami's eyebrows arch up in surprise when he sees the familiar boy (in girl's clothing).]

Fujisaki.

[This is...a little awkward. Hallmark doesn't exactly make "Sorry I manhandled your corpse for the lulz" cards.]

[shslasshat]

We don't have to cooperate here.

[He says it with a snarl, like the word personally offends him.]

If what I've heard is true, and we are truly out from under the mastermind's thumb here, then I see no cause why we should continue acting as if we're still trapped together.
