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 Uchiha [young] - Naruto Shippuden

[maddyragequits]

[At the riverbed once again was Madara, tossing a flat stone up in the air, catching it without even looking at it. His eyes were focused on the water, the small waves.]

That one will make it!

[And then, on the umpteenth descent, the stone was caught, flung and it bounced along the water once, twice.]

...

[It sank after a sploosh noise.]

What the hell!! That's so anticlimactic! [This was the boy's reaction. No, really, he was sure he would get it this time! There was an annoyed frown as he bent down to pick up another stone. He can do it if he wants, he just... wasn't WANTING hard enough this time. That had to be it.]

Hello

[believeit]

[Soon enough a Naruto passes by just... staring, at the kid tossing rocks into the water, and apparently yelling at himself.]

Oi... whatcha doing?

Had to

[beforethedarkness]

. . .

[It looks like you're trying to skip the stones, but he has no clue why. Really, what's the point? And... Why does this guy look familiar?

Whatever it is, he just frowns a little before finally approaching. Not that he's saying a word, he's just approaching for now.]

[throw_stone]

[A youth skipping stones? Ramza approaches, with a bit of a smile.]
You need to find smoother rocks. That makes it a lot easier - the rough ones are caught by the water, and sink quickly.
[He knows his rocks.]

Kyouko Kirigiri | Murderschool

[cluesandploys]

[Man, if you think she is walking around Johto with anything other than an Espeon and a Mismagius right now, you clearly have not been following along with this "purple, aloof, and utterly-creepy-when-they-stare-at-you" theme, okay.]

I had to.

[tentacletrainer]

[[Yeah that's no surprise. And after watching her a moment, this Espeon owner also thinks so. But she approaches the girl with a friendly smile none the less, her own Espeon offering a few friendly sounds.]]

Salutations.

[superordinary]

[ Guess who conveniently happens to be in the same area, looking for his missing shoe? Said shoe seems to be forgotten the second he spots the familiar-looking person and decides to walk up to her, though. His Growlithe isn't far behind him, carefully eyeing the Espeon.

Naegi is the smoothest protagonist ever, guys. ]

...Kirigiri-san?

[ardent]

[Well, it seems somebody's been told to get to know his classmates a little better; even now that they've been here together for some time, Ishimaru still has no idea how to social. Or how to girls. Or how to social at girls. It doesn't help that one of the girls turned out to be not a girl, and the other girl just kind of gets her social all over him and as such there's not much effort involved in initiating the conversation, it's just...keeping up with it.

BASICALLY GIRLS ARE WEIRD OVERWHELMING ALIENS THAT APPARENTLY SOMETIMES TURN OUT TO NOT EVEN BE GIRLS. And then we wonder why he's a mess.

However, even if he's been informed that Social Is Going To Happen Or So Help Me Ishimaru, that doesn't mean he's going to treat it as some sort of obligation; let's just get our free-time event on and see what comes of it, shall we?]

Kirigiri-kun!

[............................

okay look we have to get the obligatory shouting out of the way before we can do anything it's an unspoken rule and we know how he is with rules

...this is gonna suck.]

Aelita Stones | Code Lyoko

[lyokoprincess]

(Aelita was calm and patient, holding Togepi in her arms while going over who she should pick to face the Goldenrod Gym Leader: she couldn't go with her starter right away, even if she was the highest-leveled Pokemon she had.)

Hmm...I know! I'll go with Odd.

(As her recently evolved Monferno, her second highest-leveled Pokemon popped out of his Pokeball, Aelita smiled reassuringly at the Fire/Fighting type. On her way through Goldenrod, she heard rumors of the aforementioned Gym Leader crying every single time she lost in a match...but that couldn't be true! Could it?)

Maybe I'll contact Yumi and ask her about it before going to challenge her...

[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?

Nepeta Leijon | Homestuck

[shipurr]

[Well, this certainly was a purrdicament! Nepeta's only ever seen as much grass around her cave, and that felt like forever ago! Not to mention all the weird pink thingamabobs walking around...those must be humans, right? They're a whole lot different than the ones she was observing with her friends! And it seems like they've got their own lusus, too! Karkitty said they didn't...hrm. :\ Must've been mistaken.

Actually, it seems she's got her own mini lusus, a pawsitively adorable pink kitty cat thing! It was a whole lot smaller than Pounce used to be, and wholly different, but it seemed to be following her around a lot. With a kitten-like smile of her own, Nepets picks the Skitty up and decides to explore. In due time, she's approached by Professor Oak and given the brief run-down...which 90% of flies over her head. At the very least, she figured out she's actually become a human, and already she's lamenting the loss of her tail. Boy, she loved her tail...many fun times were has chasing and fighting it. Sigh.

Eh, she's got to address the populace sooner or later, might as well...get it over with. Maybe she'll get lucky and one of her friends will figure out how to get her or...or something.]

:33 < umm...guys?
:33 < helloooo?? anyone around?
:33 < blaaarrgh whatefur! anyway something really weird just happened!! umm...i think i got transfurmed into into a human. :\
:33 < i mean...i lost my tail and my horns, and im all weird and pink and squishy too. its kind gross. :((
:33 < but i think i got a new lusus!! its nothing like pounce used to be, but its still cute! i think im gonna k33p it.
:33 < .....
:33 < *ac sighs heavily, pawndering the whereabouts of all her furriends, and if shes really just speaking to thin air here.*


---
[OOC: Hey, everyone! I know not everyone here likes homestuck chatspeak, however mild or whatever. Just let me know if you do or don't want me to reply with Nepeta's quirk and text color, etc.]

Re: Nepeta Leijon | Homestuck

[plushaeusrumpified]

oh.
i spy with my little eye a furry.
what a fascinating turn of events.
what purray tell is your name?
i think ive seen you around before but i furgot.
you trolls are all the same.
fuckin pawesome.

Nah | Fire Emblem: Shipping

[nahtscared]

[With her trusty Axe-faced dragon at her side, this half-dragon girl is ready to take on the Pokeworld.

Well, mostly she's ready to get hideously lost. Big cities are hard. She may be holding the map upside down.]

Where in Naga's name am I?

1/??

[thejusticewagon]

[FEAR NOT, NAH, FOR A HERO HAS ARRIVED! ...along with a timid and confused Blitzle.]

Hey, it's Nah! Hi, Nah! Good to see you, buddy-I'm glad you've also arrived in the...

Yasuhiro Hagakure | Dangan Ronpa

[crystalballer]

[Outside your local Pokemon Center, you'll find some hobo-looking kid with really freaking huge hair sitting on a mat with an Elgyem at his side. He's got a variety of weird objects sitting around: a crystal ball, some tarot cards (Pokemon style of course), incense burners... and next to all of that, a sign in surprisingly immaculate handwriting reads, "Get your fortune read for only P50,000!"

... Wow, what a rip. But this guy seems to be in great spirits about it. He even calls out to you since he notices you're eying his stuff.]

Hey, hey! The Fates are telling me it's a really good idea for you to get your fortune read right now. Seriously dude, it's a matter of life or death!

[He seems way too happy to be saying something so serious.]

[ardent]

[...you know, he still has not gotten over the perpetual sense of "why this" that you tend to inspire, but he's not going to...complain, exactly. Instead, he'll just...]

Hagakure-kun, you had better have gotten the Center's permission to do this here...

[okay yeah he's going to complain but what are you even doing.]

Byakuya Togami | Dangit Roombas

[shslasshat]

[The heir to a crapload of nothing in this world is standing aloof of the city square, a little purple, gemstone-eyed creature crouched obediently at his side.

Sssssaaaaaa? the sibilant creature hisses with a strikingly eerie grin, reaching out with its claws at passerby until a sharp look from its master brings it back to heel.]

[throw_stone]

[Well look at you and your fancy clothes and that look in your eyes. Ramza approaches, his silly Stunfisk... safely away. No he has one of those metal birds, all saddled up.]
Excuse me, Sir?
[...He's mistaken you for a noble.]

Sousuke Sagara | Full Metal Panic!

[sgtserious]

[Please hold, Johto/Kanto. Sousuke tried to be a good soldier. He's among one of the best. But there are some things that are just too outside the realm of his experience. Like high school and feelings.

Small animals that have taken an unexpected shine to him? Not a problem.

The problem would be all of his firearms have mysteriously disappeared. Even the hidden ones in hammerspace.]

This is Urzu 7. Please advise. I appear to have been disarmed and cornered by a hostile entity. Repeat, this is Urzu 7, please advise.

Feferi Peixes | Homestuck

[seadweller]

[You know, for a dead alien that somehow found herself human, and alive, Feferi seems to be taking it in her stride.

She can be found by the water's edge of whatever town this is she found herself in, sat on the path with her feet dangling in the water below as she happily watches a Corsola splash around in it.]

Ramza Beoulve | Final Fantasy Tactics

[throw_stone]

[Oh? Are you passing by? Well, then, you'll probably notice the youth playing with his small team of Pokemon - playing by throwing rocks at them, as they knock them away. But, he does notice you - and waves you over.

Because he has deep questions. 2deep4u questions, in fact. Though he's been here for a few weeks by this point, Ramza still has so many questions, so many insecurities.]

[beholdmydemons]

[Nothing about this place isn't completely insane, but being able to go and do whatever you want isn't such a bad deal. Even if the Unclean Ones here (exceptionally clean as they might actually be) are several times over more alien than anything Walter ever met in the gloomy kingdom beneath Mikado.

Traveling with demons (shut up they're demons) is, in and of itself, a rather liberating experience. Blue skies overhead, green grass beneath your feet, creatures of unimaginable power at your side, no obligations but to enjoy yourself thoroughly, some kid wav-

-oh, hey.

Walter still can't treat foreigners as naturally as he'd speak with one of his own countrymen, but if someone's trying to get his attention he's not going to ignore them. The young man turns, hands in his pockets, his Houndoom and Golduck stopping at his heels. After a moment, he returns the wave, strolling a few paces off the path and calling out a casual greeting.]

Hoy, there.

Cynthia | Fire Emblem: Shipping

[thejusticewagon]

[So there is an armored blue-haired girl in pigtails in the middle of New Bark Town.

This, in and of itself, would probably only be strange if this wasn't a Pokemon-y jamjar. However, she's... apparently rehearsing something with a very confused Blitzle.

...it's kind of difficult to ignore, given that she is extremely loud.]

Now, when I do this-[she poses dramatically, pointing her finger to the sky]-you run beside me and do the sparky thing with your mane! Now, let's give it a shot!

Three...

Two...

ONE!

[AND SO SHE STRIKES THE POSE.]

Cower in fear, evildoers, as Lightning Hero Cynthia and her trusty companion Thunderhoof have arrived to save the-

[...there is a distinct lack of "the sparky thing" as the befuddled Blitzle just kind of backs off...]

...awww, come on, Thunderhoof! Don't get battlefield fright now!

throws myself at you

[dueltails]

That's not what you're supposed to do with these things.

[ Things... Only one person can be condescending enough to use that term, right?? Maybe not so much that as it is she wants to keep them at a distance because BONDING SUCKS.

All things leave in the end and never return, blah blah blah, internal angst she keeps wrapped up by sharp words and walls of snark. ]

What good is a pose if your thing is weak. [ Squatting down to stare the Blitzle in the eye. ] Hey, weakling, are you listening to me?

shishiwakamaru | yu yu hakusho

[banshriek]

[ there's currently some blue-haired dude strolling on down route 29. seems like he just arrived! he also seems to be in a bad mood right now, considering the scowl on his face. following behind him is an eager Farfetch'd, who's dragging the backpack given to everyone upon arrival with it, though it seems it's struggling to keep up with its trainer at the moment. unfortunately, said trainer doesn't necessarily care about the bird pokemon, and is proceeding to continue on walking without so much as turning and sparing a glance to it. he's even ignoring the callings towards him-- "Far-Far-Fetch-Fetch!"

so, do you a.) confront him and scold him for not caring about his Farfetch'd, b.) point out that he needs to wait for his pokemon to catch up, or c.) ignore him and continue on with your business? ]

Ragna the Bloodedge | BlazBlue

[hellsfang]

[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.]

I'm so sorry

[controlls]

[While we're on the subject of ghost types, if Ragna happened to be paying attention he might notice that the temperature around him seemed a few degrees...colder than usual. Should he look around, he will be greeted by one rather large Gastly just smiling away sinisterly.]

Celestia Ludenberg | Dangan Ronpa

[gambliar]

[Sitting down drinking tea outside one ritzy dinning establishment in Goldenrod is a pale-skinned young woman with some ridiculously large twintails. Her frilly and lacy outfit, combined with her obvious poise and grace make her seem like some kind of duchess. Certainly a woman worthy of respect.

...however, the image becomes a bit silly once you turn your head slightly. Off to the side of the young woman is a Gothita, sitting down on a chair much too big for it, mimicking her trainer by drinking from a much smaller teacup in the exact same manner.

There is an open chair in front of her, and should your character approach chances are she'll invite them over for a spot of tea.]

Homura Akemi | Puella Magi Madoka Magica

[alljustforher]

[Meet Homura - or should we say Moemura - who has recently accepted her first Pokémon battle challenge. Watch her as she gracefully throws a Pokéball-

... straight into a garbage can. She falls down right after her Ralts peeks out from the can, looking really confused.]

I'm sorry! I didn't mean to do that...

Have I told you lately how much I love you?

[herwish]

[Madoka gives her a sheepish smile. Looks like she still has a lot to learn...

The pink haired girl walks to the confused little pokemon and lifts it up from the can.]

It's okay. You'll learn everything. [She gives a gentle hug to the Ralts and throws its ball back to Homura.] Let's try again, ne?

[Question; Which one are you going to catch into the ball? Madoka, or Ralts?]

Hinata Hyuga | Naruto

[gentledheart]

[Training was going well. Now if only she didn't have a type disadvantage for her upcoming battle. There was nothing she could do about that now, there wasn't any time left to catch and train a new team member. But if it didn't end how she hoped this time there was always next time. Outcomes were hardly set in stone, she knew that. It was hard to let her worries take hold when her Oshawott was so determined, Hinata had a good feeling about this battle.]

hinataa!! I hope this is okay. ;v;

[aburame]

[It looked like training was winding down to a conclusion. A short hand signal was enough to indicate to his Galvantula to halt its onslaught of attacks, the yellow spider returning to take a break from acting as a living eight-legged taser. Maybe using such a high levelled Pokemon had been harsh on the pair. Even so, Shino was not one to go easy on anyone, and Hinata would probably appreciate it anyway. Although she would be at a disadvantage, he didn't think his teammate would let that deter her from trying her best. Hopefully her hardwork would pay off in her upcoming battle!

Over the past months, shinobi had come and gone. If the Fourth Hokage and a dead Uchiha could appear in Johto, he wouldn't disregard the possibility of his own team showing up - and, well, the fact she was standing across from him now was enough confirmation. Shino was grateful to be able to spend time with a teammate and good friend as Hinata. He'd been doing his best to help her adjust and volunteered himself as a training partner. Kiba and Akamaru were absent, Kurenai too, but there was a kind of familiarity in it all regardless.

Shino returned his hands to rest in his pockets.]

Perhaps we should stop for today. Why? Because any experience gained would not be much use if your Pokemon is tired out.

Walter | Shin Megami Tensei IV

[beholdmydemons]

[Johto, why do you hate normal things? A young man in a long, blue military coat is sitting on a log on the outskirts of a city, an expression of consternation on his face as he tries valiantly to sharpen something long and metal he has propped against his knee. A Houndour is sprawled out across the log beside him, little flames fluttering around its nose as it snores. After a moment, he sets the stone aside, looks the makeshift blade over, and stands up. He looks around, eyes landing on a tree, then falls into a fighting stance.

With a yell, he charges forward and slashes at the tree with a practiced motion. But...

...well.]

Damn this confounded-!

[He storms back to pick up the stone and try again, consternation fading into outright aggravation.]

[pinnedbangs]

[Rin often lamented about how difficult it was to keep up with his sword training in Johto. He could feel himself getting soft, especially considering that he needed to improve on his skills! He couldn't afford to let what he learned rot away! What if he suddenly forgot how to use properly hold one? What if when he finally made it back home, he would get his ass handed back to him?

That could not happen! Not under any circumstances!!

So, it was with great admiration that Rin watched the young man use his makeshift blade. Now, why hadn't he thought of making a sword? ...it didn't cross his mind, even once. Anyone could brandish around a sword - Rin often did - but to see how fluidly this man moved was a sight to behold.

And it was damn cool.

Maybe this guy would be up to having an inexperienced sparring partner? ...But first, Rin would have to actually approach the guy. The guy with the weapon. The guy with the weapon who seemed really pissed off right now.

Eh, he'll take his chances.]

Oi! [Big smile, friendly wave - emphasis on friendly - totally not even gonna bother reading all the ~tense atmosphere vibes~. And, bonus, he happened to have a little puppy-like pokemon following him too! She was a Poochyena, and as far as she was concerned, this man was none of their business.]

Are you okay? Looks like you busted up your ...sword? [Stone sword thing. Pointy stone. Sharp rock. ...It was supposed to be a dagger, wasn't it.]

Lucifer / Hanzo Urushihara | Hataraku Maou-sama

[neetlife]

[Here you'll see a rather bewildered looking boy watching some Pokemon, unsure of what to do now. He is new to this whole "Pokemon" thing, and doesn't really...know what to do. What the hell were these things, anyway?]

...Just how do I get them in this ball? This is stupid...


[He's just about to walk away when he hears someone calling out to him. Maybe to offer help or maybe to mock him. Who knows?]

/related by name

[pinnedbangs]

[Oh, c'mon, the guy wasn't even trying!]

Hey you! [says the person who was forced to watch something pretty stupid] Do somethin' before it gets away!

Flynn | Shin Megami Tensei IV | not gonna app for another week but practice can't hurt

[entrustedfuture]

[PokeGear message from Flynn! He's been in Johto for... a little while, enough to get somewhat used to the workings.

Somewhat.]

Does anyone around Violet City have a strong move they would be willing to Whisper-

[Flynn pauses and corrects himself.] Use on my Smeargle so he can Sketch it? We picked up Tackle first, so most moves would be an improvement.

[Really, he had to learn that, isn't that just basic knowledge how to attack...]

[beholdmydemons]

[what, my rat's scratchy move isn't good enough for you huh? huh???

rudest friend in the world gosh.



nah jk our pokedemons kind of suck right now, let's do something about it]

Any luck?
