TEST DRIVE MEME -- DECEMBER

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 POWER PROBLEMS A swarm of Kunemon have invaded from the forest! Having electric attributes in their attacks, they're causing all sorts of power problems around the city. Can they be stopped before electrical fires start up?
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) CRAZY WEATHER WE'RE HAVING!: Have you ever heard the expression "raining cats and dogs?" Well, now it's raining Gatomon and Doggymon, and they're understandably pretty unhappy! Or maybe you happen to be on one of the more normal weather days, like a sudden heatwave, or a freak blizzard, or a raging sandstorm! Better watch out for that tornado day, too. You're already not in Kansas anymore, after all!

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) WE CAN REBUILD IT: 500 BIT The poor, poor city. It's in shambles! You've been drafted to help fix it up, in whatever way you can. Planting trees in the park? Fixing holes in the apartment building? Reconstruction of entire shops? Hope you're good with a hammer.
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 FIRE! 500 BIT The DemiMeramon's are a mischievous bunch, aren't they? Don't think so? Well, we hope that's not your house they're trying to burn down! A bunch of DemiMeramon are loose and setting fire to the outskirts of the city. Stop them before they destroy the whole city, but be careful! They may turn into Meramon, easy enough.
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).

Flamon, help him!

[Flamon does so, though he's really not sure why. The couple of Kunemon that last attacked Riku get swept up in flames.]

What is wrong with you?

There's nothing wrong with me!

[Oh great, two more of those stupid pests fire off sets of Petit Thunder. Rolling his eyes, the Replica dodge rolls to the left and scoops up a chunk of concrete, flinging it at their heads. He's gotta adapt until he gets a proper weapon.]

Maybe I just don't want to sit still and let someone else do all the fighting. Just because this place took away everything I had left doesn't mean I'm gonna take it sitting down.

[There's a whistle from off to the side, followed by a new voice.]

Oh, brother. There he goes again...

[That'd be one perky Veemon shaking her head and giving a headbutt to the nearest Kunemon.]

Then why are so hurt when there isn't even a scratch on me?

[What is with this guy?]

You're his partner, right?

Because you're letting your little cat-thing do all the dirty work!

[And, okay, maybe he's been a bit too reckless, but like he'd ever admit that.

Veemon just sighs at his words, though, swirling her arms into a Boom Boom Punch.]

Yes, I'm his partner, but I think I got a defective one, 'cause he's really dumb. And-- Vee Headbutt!

[She knocks another Kunemon sky high before rubbing her hands together.]

So, like I was saying, I think he's broken because he's doing the partner thing all wrong and he keeps telling me that his name isn't even his name. What's up with that?

Beats me. Mine's working just fine.

Would you quit talking about us like we're toys or something?

[Roxas can't remember just exactly why, but he really doesn't like it. It makes his heart sting, like he's remembering something horrible. But...the memory's not surfacing.]

Yeah! That's another thing. He doesn't appreciate the awesomeness that is m-- Digimon. Yeah, all Digimon. Super cool and strong, you get the drill.

[The Replica bristles, taking a sharp breath.]

Will you shut up already? I already told you, I'm not just gonna sit around and let you hog the spotlight.

[The Veemon huffs, socking yet another Kunemon in the face.]

You just keep saying that, dummy. You'll come around sooner or later, if you wanna stay in one piece.

[Flamon flinches when Roxas scolds them, and pops off another fireball to keep a few Kunemon at bay. How many of these things are there, anyway?]

Maybe if you quit insulting him he'll wanna fight with you.

[There's probably about ten left. The good news is that the bulk of them are shrinking away now that two Digimon have entered the scene.

Veemon sees this and puffs up her chest, letting out a boisterous laugh.]

Heeey, you know that he started it, right? 'Cause he was all, "I don't need a partner," and I was like, "uh, yes you do, 'cause you're one of the Chosen!" And then he looked at me like I was crazy.

[She says this all with a mix of hand gestures and kicks and punches directed at the straggling bugs. The Replica, in the mean time, slaps his palm over his face.]

Because it sounds crazy. Why the heck would I be chosen for anything?

[After all, why pick the imitation over the genuine product?]

That's what Roxas asked, but who cares why you got picked? You did, and that means there was a good reason. There's gotta be something heroic about you. Something, or someone, that you wanted to protect more than anything else, that made you stronger for it.

[Veemon's already taken the bulk of the bugs left, so Flamon only has to fire at a couple of them while he's talking.]

He's right. Even if you're just someone who looks like Riku, you wouldn't be here unless you could do something to help.

...Right.

[Protecting someone... yeah, that was his whole purpose for a while. More than anything, he wanted to protect Naminé-- to keep her safe from anyone, even someone who used to be his best friend in his memories. Not that he'd do that to Sora again. He knows better now.

Still, the Replica averts his eyes, fists clenching and unclenching. Why is this guy acting so upbeat? He's talking just like Sora...]

But still, why settle for second best? If they need a hero so bad, they should've grabbed the one who survived, not the idiot who thought he could actually be someone by taking someone else's strength and killing the real deal.

[It would seem they've entered the realm of self-deprecation, a strong Riku trait, if there ever was one.

After kicking one last Kunemon from behind, Veemon trudges closer with one eyebrow raised.]

You suuure you're not broken? One minute you're acting all tough, the next you're starting a pity party. C'mon, lighten up!

If they'd take a Nobody, why wouldn't they take you?

[Flamon looks at Roxas, somewhat exasperated.]

So quit moping!

A Nobody? What, you're with the Organization?

[He raises an eyebrow for about a split second, until it sets in that Roxas just accused him of moping. And, just like that, his face snaps back into a scowl, and he puffs out his chest.]

And I'm not moping. I just don't get it.

No. I quit the Organization a long time ago. The only reason they kept me around was my Keyblade. If you know who they are, I bet that doesn't surprise you.

What's a Keyblade?

It's the weapon I had back home.

Wait, you've got a Keyblade?

[His eyes narrow even further, and he crosses his arms.]

Last I checked, Sora's the only Keybearer around. Him and that King, anyway.

[Roxas nods.]

I'm Sora's Nobody. But it's not like I can prove it to you.

You don't really look like him. Hair's not spiky enough.

[Hey, look! There's actually a hint of a smile on his face now.]

[Roxas thinks for a second.]

All right, how 'bout if I do this?

[He stretches his mouth into a into a big, goofy smile with a finger in either corner of his lips. Only a second later he has to let go though, because he's cracking up. How did Sora ever keep a straight face when doing that?]

[...Oh god.

At first the Replica stares. Then he bites his lip, trying not to laugh.

He fails miserably. Even his Veemon partner starts chuckling.]

That's a bit better. You've got the dorky look down, anyway.

[Roxas shakes his head, still laughing.]

I don't know how Sora does that without cracking up.

Well, you know. Sora's never been the brightest guy.

[But he's a good guy, and that's what counts. That sap even tried cheering him up.

Maybe he should've listened to him after all.]

No kidding.

[Roxas chuckles a bit more.]

He's ridiculous.

Not to mention stubborn. Even when I was at his throat, he kept on pushing me. Guess he really thought I was his friend.

[His smile wavers for a moment, and he shakes his head.]

He did that to me, too. Even though he didn't even know who I am.
