test-drive meme

(no subject)

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!

Yeah! I kind of lucked out on getting it to work the first time, so I think we just need to mess around with it a little!

[...and so Cynthia begins pushing buttons randomly because her duty in life is to be as frustrating to Nah as possible]

Wait- [Too late, now Cynthia has the gear and is pushing so many buttons...

Oh great, she's got it on the radio setting. And has turned the volume up to ridiculous levels. On static.]

Oh dear Naga, OW! [Nah slaps her hands over her ears, wincing in pain.] What did you do?

...yeah, that wasn't it... um, hang on-

[let her fiddle a little more and HEY! there are video posts and audio posts and text posts.]

Oh! There it is! I think you press the little arrows in the square boxes for moving pictures that talk.

[It takes a few moments for her to hesitantly take her hands away from her ringing ears. But eventually she realizes it's over, and lowers them with a sigh of relief.]

That hurt. [Her grumping is set aside, though, when she looks at the gear.] Huh. So we press this arrow here...

[And the post begins to play while Nah stares transfixed.]

Yeah, yeah, sorry... but see? Isn't it great?

[Cynthia has no idea what this witchcraft is but it gets her seal of approval because it's fuckin cool]

I have to admit it is very impressive... there look to be a great deal of messages recorded here, though. It could take a while to find the others.

Yeah... and I'm not sure if all of them would have recorded them yet. I mean, I'm sure if Owain's figured out how to use it he's trying to prepare something really special for his introduction!

[best cousin.

...something's been nagging at her, though, and she doesn't really know what it is...

Oh well, it's probably nothing!]

True... well, maybe we should make an introduction first, and see if they'll come to us. How do you get this thing to make one...

[She frowns, tilting her head at the machine, really unsure of how to make it work.]

Uhh... hm. Well, I know not to push that thing...

[what a mystery... how will they even know it's working?

...she will go back to the standard of "press buttons and see if they work."]

Be careful this time.

[No sooner has the admonishment left Nah's lips then a new noise crackles out of the gear... this time, it sounds like a mechanical voice.]

Pokedex activated.

Poke-what?

[As the main menu for the Pokedex feature of the gear, featuring all seventeen types and all letters of the alphabet as chooseable options, Nah just stares at it in confusion and shock.]

What is this? It's definitely not that thing we were looking at earlier.

...huh, it's never done that for me before. Well, there has to be some way to get out of it! Let's just see what this does...

[...so she pushes another button as her Pokedex is coincidentally pointing at Nah's Pokemon... and it brings up a picture of said Pokemon, with its name and some text:]

Its large tusks have a tendency to break, but each time they grow back, they grow in harder and sturdier.

...huuuuuh...

Oh wow! It's like an encyclopedia on these little creatures! There must be so much information here, I could read it for hours-

[She stops herself as she remembers their original plan.]

But it... doesn't really help us find the others, does it?

Nooot really.

[does she plan to check this thing at all? ...probably not.]

Well, we might be able to mess around with it a little more and figure things out! Though... I'm kind of wondering about something, now that I'm thinking about it...

Hmmm? Wondering about what?

[Curiosity roused, she raises an eyebrow questioningly at Cynthia.]

Well... you know how we all showed up in different times and places when we were sent back into the past so we could save the future? Maybe if we don't see anyone else right away we shouldn't worry too much.

[She blinks a bit in surprise, not having thought of that detail.]

... You're right. I hadn't even considered that, though I guess I should have. They might not even be here in this time... or they might be so far away that we can't locate them.

[She sighs.]

Darn it. I was hoping to track down Lucina, at least.
