TEST DRIVE MEME -- SEPTEMBER

[terminalmods]

TEST DRIVE MEME Interested in joining Terminal Tokyo? Well, before you apply feel free to testdrive any character you're interested in playing here! This is a good way to see how your character will work in the environment or even the potential CR. For the sake of this meme you are allowed to choose your own partners but it will not count as game canon. Nothing that happens here will, it's just for practice! That said we've decided to give you a bit of what you will see if you join the game. Keep in mind once a month we'll put up sets of missions your characters can join for bit, which is what some of these are! Others are mini-events. So here we go: MINI-EVENTS 1) IT'S A FILM NOIR, SEE?!: Why's the whole world in black-and-white? Why are you wearing 20's outfits? Why is there dramatic music, the urge to get a pack of smokes, and seedy looking detectives everywhere?! Watch out, everyone, the gangsters are about...and the internal monologue. 2) BATTLE MUSIC: One of the shifts causes music to follow your character around for a maximum of two days. Are they upset? Rocking out? Whatever they're doing we hope they're enjoying their new battle theme! 3) ROCK PAPER SCISSORS--DUCK!: Sometimes the most juvenile of games becomes the most perfect way to relax. Why not enjoy a few rounds of everyone's favorite game "Rock Paper Scissors"? Just be careful. It seems a fewDracmon have decided to take this game quite literally and won't stop until you have beaten them at their own game. Just...beware of falling rocks, flying paper cranes, and sniping scissors... MISSIONS 1) BABYSITTER ANYONE?: 300 BIT Petermon’s a jerk. He’s used his abilities to brainwash some baby Digimon into causing havoc around the city! Stop them from wrecking everything, again, but don’t hurt them too bad! 2) MON-DO EXPLORATION: 500 BIT A new continent is open! Server is vast and here is no map, so Chosen should get to exploring that! Watch out for weird pyramids, wild Digimon, bizarre invisible cities, and random out of place landmarks. And whatever you do, don’t get lost in the desert, okay? 3) I'VE BEEN WORKING ON THE TRAILMON: 300 BIT Though they live in what's called a "graveyard", the Trailmon who live there are still Digimon and need love too. Give them a bath. Sing them a song. Treat them nicely, and they might give you a reward for keeping them company. 4) GOT FISH?: 300 BIT PER FISH The Damemon need a little help with preparing the latest meals. Time for you and your partner to go out and get some fish. Just make sure you don't hook a Digimon by mistake, okay? They get a little angry about that. 5) TRAINING WITH CHOSEN: 100 BIT With some of the recent Chosen adjusting to their roles, some of the newer Chosen might be looking to them for help, which includes fighting experience. In the spirit of promoting such camaraderie, an observing or participating NPC will give those actively training a few bits for their effort. And, as always, you're also allowed to do this in a free form! These are just ideas to get your gears rolling and see what to expect. (NOTE: All missions and events are more light-hearted here, but will not always be in game).

And for that I am absolutely delighted *A*

[ Seifer exhaled heavily as he and Impmon approached the travelers. "New," huh? Sounded more like these two arrived recently. To be honest, Seifer fully intended to walk right past the man and his cub of a Digimon. He even intended on ignoring how similar the man looked, though he couldn't quite place his finger on why he seemed familiar. ]

Laguna?

[ Oblivious, Impmon grabbed Laguna's hand and vigorously shook it. ]

Pleased to meet'cha! I'm Impmon, and this is my partner Seifer!

[ The surprise stopped Seifer in his tracks so that he could take a good look at this "Laguna." Familiar. For a moment, he fancied the idea that this might be the Laguna. At least until he realized that Laguna must be ancient now. This Laguna looked too young. Sure, there was a chance that Laguna had simply aged gracefully, but... nah. The Digital World wasn't that kind to him. ]

...D'you two get lost? The city's back there.

[ Seifer nodded his head back the way he'd come. ]

I'm glad, I just hope I do him justice ;w;

[bewarethefaeries]

Woah! You got a grip like a Ruby Dragon!

[Laguna said as his arm was shaken like a wet noodle; obviously this doormonster or whatever it was called was a lot stronger than its size lent credit to. Thankfully he got his arm back in one piece as he rolled his shoulder a bit to pop the joints back into place, though he was still smiling cheerfully as he gave a nod to Impmon's information.]

Lost...is a word for it I suppose, but its good to know there's actually a city around here. But if the city's that way, where are you two headed?

Yoooou are doing marvelously! /chinhands

[knightfan]

[ Impmon seemed pleased. He didn't know what a Ruby Dragon was, but it sounded strong. Even if Seifer thought he was a wimp, at least one person appreciated his strength. Seifer, on the other hand, recognized the term and again he wondered if this Laguna was somehow the same one.... ]

Away from it.

[ Captain Obvious at his finest. ]

This thing can't Digivolve, so I'm gonna toughen him up with my gunblade for a little while, then maybe go through the motions of shadow training. I'd say you two don't look well-armed for the wilderness, but...

[ Seifer gestured to Laguna. No, he was pretty sure Laguna was more than capable of taking care of himself out here. Mostly. Provided he could use that thing. ]

Bullets are useless against the stronger ones. Just so you know. Hope your fire cub can Digivolve.

Awww, don't let him scare you! It's not too dangerous around the city!

Yayyyy, your Seifer is awesome :3

[bewarethefaeries]

Digiwhat now?

Digivolve! And of course I can! Eventually...!

...No clue what you're talking about. But I've got more than bullets on me, a solider never goes into a battle without all his tools after all.

[Laguna said with a smirk, casually pulling a flashbang out from his back pocket and twirling the canister on his finger. Oh the things you can teach yourself while on an eventless patrol. He might not be able to damage them with bullets, but he could sure as heck blind a few with a well aimed throw. Still though...this kid was packing a Gunblade? That was enough to catch Laguna's interest as he grabbed a proper hold on his grenade]

A Gunblade, huh? I haven't used one of those since...well since my run in with that dragon! Its rare to find someone who uses them as a mainstay weapon, you must really have some skill!

[He was casually laughing about his run in with that one Ruby Dragon...but if he hadn't known how to use it, that thing would have eaten him alive, really funny stuff to him of course.]

[knightfan]

[ Huh. This guy looked like a bumbling idiot... a total airhead... but he was surprisingly well-prepared. To have a weapon like that must mean the guy was a military man. Really? This guy in the military? Maybe he was wrong (an impossibility, he thought to himself), but Seifer wasn't sure Laguna would be able to last three days out in the field. Not unless deep down Laguna was housing some killer instincts. Maybe the guy was just a survivalist? That seemed more believable. ]

You've actually heard of a gunblade before?

[ That was a first. Aside from Squall, Seifer found himself needing to explain what the hell it was. Apparently people couldn't put "gun" and "blade" together in their heads to get the obvious result. ]

It's a pretty impractical weapon unless you know how to use it properly. Recoil's terrible, right?

[ He'd mentioned a dragon again. A ruby dragon? Ugh. Why was he letting these boyish fantasies try and come true? In case he'd forgotten, he'd been stuck in this world for five months. Why in the hell would his childhood hero just plop down in front of him? Besides, shouldn't his hero be more... refined? ]

Hey! I know!

[ Seifer's glare to Impmon was immediate. ]

Since you're new, why don't we take you back to the city so you don't get lost?

[ YOU DUMBASS PIXIE. ]

[bewarethefaeries]

Yeah...it takes a certain kind of muscle just to use one properly; especially if you're going to use it one handed! I remember a few guys at the Military Academy who thought they'd give it a try and snapped their wrists like dry branches...nasty stuff. Good thing I had a lot of practice with recoil from using my machine gun or that movie would have had a much different ending...

[Yeah..he hadn't been expecting an ACTUAL Ruby Dragon to wander onto the set...if Kiros and Ward hadn't been there, he might have actually ended up as dragon chow... But his negative thoughts were whisked away at the mention of being taken back to a city, that's exactly what Laguna needed to hear!]

That sounds great, I'll trust you two to lead the way!

[knightfan]

[ If looks could kill.... ]

You three have fun.

Seifer! We oughta try bein' nice people! Besides, maybe they'll reward us.

[ Seifer rolled his eyes. That was not how someone should go getting snacks out of people. Besides, why would two people who just got here even have spare money to reward? What was Impmon planning to do? Mug them if they declined? ...Well, if he was, that'd be interesting. ]

All they have to do is follow the road like they were. They could have gotten there eventually. We're busy. What do I look like to you, a tourguide? You can go with 'em if you want, pixie.

[bewarethefaeries]

A reward? Well...I suppose that'd be fair...dunno what all I have on me though. Let's take a quick check here.

[Laguna reached into the rucksack hanging below his machine gun and began to root around; mumbling to himself]

Let's see...some gil...my cards...rations...rope...how about this...?

[With a nod, he pulled out a small box with an ornate looking picture of himself in odd clothing holding a gunblade with a super imposed picture of a woman taking up the rest of the shot behind him; the title "The Sorceress's Knight" emblazoned across the bottom]

How do you guys like movies? I was in this one a while back and it was pretty popular back in the day! So if I sign it for you...it might just fetch you a quick pile of Gil if I'm allowed to be modest.
