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!

...Well, that's what Konoha's like. You can say your names and stuff, and everyone lives there. There's a whole load of clans that live together.

Hinataaa

[believeit]

[Naruto had been making his way back to town, when he spooted a familiar comrade.]

Hey, Hinata! [Oh look- he's running over, a group of Poliwags following him.]

How's it going?

[neetlife]

I don't even know what to do!

[To add to the boy's annoyance, this guy looks a hell of a lot like a younger version Maou-sama. Well, except for the eyes...]

If you'll tell me what to do, I'll do it. And who the hell are you, by the way?

[pinnedbangs]

[Hey hey hey, he didn't give advice just for it to be ignored! And what about his manga-skills? Even if 2D =/= 3D there was still some fact!]

Just try it out before brushin' it off!

[But Rin was willing to be... cooperative. Especially if they were going to talk about swords and fighting.]

That goes for me too. [Right down to the "stab-it-til-it's-dead" mentality.] 'Cept I've been in training with it. For important reasons. [Walter probably thought he was cool now, right? Cool enough to spar with? ...Or at least cool enough to tolerate his company?]

[pinnedbangs]

Didn't you listen to that old bastard in the lab coat?

[Rin didn't either but that was beside the point. This guy admitted he wanted help. He admitted it in a stupid and annoying way, but he still said it.

So maybe. Maybe. How old was the emo-kid anyway? Must be around his age.]

Look, asshole, I'll do you one better. I'll show you how to use them. And I'm Rin Okumura. Who the hell are you supposed to be?

[neetlife]

[Who the hell was he as calling an asshole?]

...What old bastard in a lab coat? And you can call me Lucifer. Rin Okumura, hm? So you're Japanese? I lived in Japan a while...

[He's just going to casually try to move this in a direction he wants, because you know, he'ss spoiled.]

[maddyragequits]

I had four brothers.

[This is all he can say for a while, remaining silent as a myriad of thoughts and memories go through his head.] I don't think I'd like to see my three brothers come back... in this place. Don't get me wrong, I didn't want them dead, but...

[He looks to the ground then] What would I even say to them after being unable to protect them?

[maddyragequits]

Konoha, huh? [he repeats in a murmur, staring at the waters in front of them. Long moments pass, the silence stretching until his voice his heard again.]

How did that even happen? Maybe he didn't even tell me till the last second when it was too late to go back, otherwise it makes no sense. [Part of him has to admit this whole peaceful village idea coming to fruition does sound good. Aside from Hashirama being one of those blood-covered Senju.]

[beholdmydemons]

[Well, points for trying! As long as you're not actively obnoxious, Walter can't really bring himself to care.]

They seem content enough to be "used", if that's the case. ...Not that I don't agree with you. [Though it's not really justice to the Pokemon he cares about whoops] 'Twould be a thrill to meet some of these creatures in a real fight, if the chance came.

[pinnedbangs]

[:| talkin' to you, emo-kid.]

The one in the -- eh, y'know what? Never mind. He wouldn't be much help anyway.

[He was not about to admit that he really had no clue where exactly that guy's lab was. ...But he knew it was somewhere and he knew that the old guy talked a lot.

That name tickled a memory in the back of his mind. Where had he heard it before? But. Wow. Was it not obvious that he was? ...Unless Rin didn't look that Japanese... Whoa.]

Yeah? Good for you. [Not. Okay, fine, he'll be friendlier.] ...What part of Japan did you live in?

[readapts]

[PLS THAT ONE'S EVEN WORSE. Better?? Something along those lines.]

Y-yes... For all of us to get out safely together... And see other people again.

[readapts]

[It's his true SHSL talent...]

I-- I understand wanting to make the best of your talent. But, for me, more than money... I had fun making programs and being able to help people.

[And Hagakure. Pal. Buddy. Let's talk about that P50,000.] And um, Hagakure-kun... I'm not sure how many people here even have that much money at all.

[plushaeusrumpified]

[The only reason he was doing it at all is because she started it. He's pretty good at running something into the ground. But now that it's out of sight and out of mind, he's probably not going to really do it.]

*bs is glad you approve. he tries to be the best at everything he does.*
how do you deal with him then?
that seems like an answer everyone could benefit from.

[Oh he was right, she's a total furry. Dang. She even has a fucking tail.]

what a purretty kitty.
abububu.

[superordinary]

[ Naegi is the protag you should be all sunshine and daisies when you see him, Togami. Oh wait, Togami is an asshat so that would be expecting too much. ]

I am. I take it you've already met the others? [ He wonders how Togami felt if he met Fujisaki. Surely he would feel an inkling of remorse for what he did to the crime scene for his own amusement...? ] Did they explain everything?

[neetlife]

I lived in a crappy part of Tokyo with an old boss of mine and just happened to find myself here. I don't know anything about these little bastards.

[He jerks his head toward the Pokemon.]

Thanks for helping me out.

[pinnedbangs]

I live in True Cross Town. It's in Tokyo. [He imagines that living with his boss would be the same as living with Shura.

Aka It would SUCK.]

Hey the Pokemon are great here. You just gotta learn how to work with them. "Thanks"? For what? We haven't started yet.

[There's a look in his eyes that promise all sorts of trouble. He reaches for a bal on his belt and drops it to the ground. A bright light appears, the ball returns to his hand, and all that's left is the Pokemon that had been dwelling inside.]

This is my partner, Poochy. [The name was cool, okay?!] She and I have a few things to teach you about Pokemon!

[shipurr]

:33 < ummm...
:33 < ... :\
:33 < well, i guess i just understand how equius is!! and accepting who he is and liking him just fur that reason!
:33 < but its always a litter give and take when it comes to being the purrfect mewoails! you cant always get what you want and he cant always get what he wants.
:33 < no matter how hard he argues. >:|
:33 < oh and you nefur told me if you knew where he was!!

[Oh my, that's quite a smile that's spreading on Nepeta's face, and she may even be purring a little bit, very softly. This human lusus is actually really nice! Nepeta's really glad she didn't base her opinion off of Karkat's experiences with them.]

:33 < h33 h33, thanks!!!
:33 < umm, i guess youre purretty, too, for a human.
:33 < ...dont tell any of my furriends i said that.

[She will never hear the end of it, especially from Mr. Purrsnickety himself.]

[neetlife]

[He has no idea where True Cross might be, but since he's never heard of it, he's going to assume it's a place for rich, high class people, a place not even Emi, the classiest of his group of friends, could get into. He's also ignoring the comment about the thank you. The sudden Pokemon appearance does take him by surprise.]

W-whoa where did that come from?

[shslasshat]

Traveling as a large group could arouse the suspicion of whatever forces are controlling this game. I'm surprised that you, of all people, are proposing collaborative investigation.

[That remark was about as pointed as a barbed wire fence, Miss "I'm too good to share my findings with the class".

He can't really argue with the rest of the points she makes, however.]

This is, however, assuming that I think the rest of you are interesting enough variables to be worth the effort. After all, I've seen how you all act in a more dangerous situation than our current, and so it would be difficult for you not to bore me.

[He's not saying no, but...]

Perhaps we should settle this by the rules of this new game. We have made eye contact, after all. If you can beat me in a battle, I will concede your point and do my part to keep our unlucky little group intact.

[He smirks.]

[cluesandploys]

OKAY NO THIS IS THE ACTUAL TAG

[cluesandploys]

You asked to hear the advantages. Acknowledging and listing them isn't synonymous with advocating them. Furthermore, circumstances change; as Celes-san might say, adaptability likewise has its advantages.

[You can take your barbed wire fence and shove it right up your—]

You're asking for a Pokemon battle. With that?

[She tilts a half-nod at the Sableye that's been following him.]

THANK YOU FOR NOT EDITING

[shslasshat]

[Togami shrugs. W/e, w/e.]

I am. Against that.

[He does the same toward her Espeon. Hey, if she can have an evolved pokemon, he can have been level-grinding his non-evolutionary one.]

Do you accept?

[shslasshat]

[The Sableye lets out a warning hiss and gets between her master and the pancake fish thing.]

I'm not apologizing to it.

[cluesandploys]

[It's cool, man, you can be the precious soul and she'll be the narrative's flawless princess. It works out.]

Has anyone yet discovered what it is that makes people come here?

I COULD NEVER

[cluesandploys]

[This just proves Togami sucks eggs at freetime events, frankly. Hang out with one of the girls? LET'S MAKE OUR TINY ANIMALS KICK THE SHIT OUT OF EACH OTHER IN A PROXY BATTLE FOR OUR DOMINANCE CHALLENGE, OK.

The Espeon looks up with that same deadeye stare so common to Kirigiri's face. He's clearly ready to do this.]

It seems I don't have much choice.

[That's probably a yes.]
