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).

1. Power Problems

Ruffnut wasn't sure what to make of these little wriggling worms. She knew sometimes big trouble came in small packages...but these things?

"They look like fat stubby eels!" She observed out loud prodding one with a stick. It hissed and opened it's beak shooting out a thread that wrapped around her head and began to shock her. The blond viking squealed and seized on the ground while she was zapped and when the creature crawled off she remained twitching and sizzling on her back.

Blowing out a smoke ring she grinned foolishly "H-heh heh...cool."

*****************************************************************************

4. FIRE!

Ruffnut loved fire.

She always had, and always would. The way it moved, the warmth, the way it devoured everything you threw at it only to get stronger. Sure it was weak to water but other then that? Fire was amazing.

So she wasn't too pleased to be drafted into fire fighting again, after all she'd graduated from that job ages ago back home! But at least she remembered how to fill up a bucket and throw water at flames.

Unfortunately...these flames were alive!

She watched in wonderment as living fireballs with faces raced around setting things ablaze so easily. For a moment she was distracted with how wonderful a power that would be.

Oh well, a job was a job. Setting one of her water buckets down she grasped the other and threw it at the little fireball closest to her! It yelped and dodged out of the way causing all the other little fireballs to turn and glare at her.

"Oh...uh oh!" She mumbled dropping the first bucket and grabbing the second.

"Alright! Don't come any closer you hear me?" She threatened as the little beasts began floating towards her with anger in their adorable eyes.

There was a splash as she threw her second bucket...and then shouting as a mob of the Demimeramon began chasing Ruffnut around spitting fire at her.

...well at least they weren't attacking the city for the moment?

****************************************************************************

5. Training with chosen

Ruffnut was always up for some combat...even if she was pretty lousy at it without her dragon.

But if she wanted to have fun around here she'd have to get stronger right? And so that meant training. Someday she'd be the strongest one here! But first she had to learn how to fight the way they fought.

And so she arrived at the training grounds in her helmet and fur. Old fashioned viking clothes clashed with all these modern outfits but she hadn't had time...or the will to go shopping to update her fashion. It's not like it mattered that much anyway right?

[BlackWargreymon has taken to using his shield to deflect the oncoming small Digimon, and is very quickly finding the unending fall of them irksome. But before he becomes tempted to simply annihilate them all, he notices that he is not alone here. And not only that, but the other Digimon hasn't a care for these pests.]

Do you not intend to seek shelter?

[BWG shakes his head.]

I did not have any certain location in mind.

General
[Roxas is finding it hard to describe what being around without Sora is like. He's been part of the other for so long now that being his own person again is pretty weird. Having this Digimon partner is helping a little, though.]

Hey, Flamon, is there anywhere I could get some ice cream here?

Yeah, Frigimon's Ice Cream shop! Wanna go?

[Roxas smiles, almost looking just a bit forlorn for a moment. But it brightens quickly. It's been so long, and he has a new friend this time!]

Yeah, let's go!

Mini-event 1: Power Problems
Does this happen around here a lot?

[Flamon tosses a Kunemon over his shoulder.]

Whaddya mean by "a lot?"

[Roxas just shakes his head and jumps out of the way of a small lightning bolt.]

At least I'm used to this...

Mission 3: I've Been Working on the Trailmon
Man, didja really have to take this one? It's so boring...

[Roxas laughs lightly.]

C'mon, it's not that bad. All we're doing is hanging out with the Trailmon.

[The blonde tosses a bucket of water over the one he's next to, then starts scrubbing off some of the soap he'd used a second ago.]

Yeah, that might be fun for you, but where do I factor into this?

If you keep complaining you get to be the one giving them baths.

[BWG himself takes a moment to consider.]

Perhaps under the tower. Follow me.

[He takes to the sky, expecting that this new Digimon will either be able to fly himself, or at the least be able to keep up with him.]

[Tokyo Tower is still being rebuilt, but it's plenty large enough for the two of them to take shelter. BWG lands, and motions to his new acquaintance to do the same. The Doggymon and Gatomon are still falling from the sky, but only a few have wandered under the tower.]

Crazy Weather We're Having

Kit couldn't believe it. Less than an hour ago it had been a normal, sunny day, and now? It was a blizzard. She was just glad her partner was still safe at home; she'd just been making a quick run to the grocery store for a few things, and hadn't expected to be long.

The first flakes of snow had started to come down almost just as she'd been exiting the store, which was weird, since there weren't even any clouds. It hadn't taken long for the wind and snow to pick up, though and soon Kit was stuck in near white-out conditions. What had started an amusing oddity had quickly lost its fun. Her paws were getting numb, the icy wind seemed to cut right through her fur (which by now was all wet thanks to the snow), and she could barely see where she was going.

Not to mention that the snow was starting to pile up, making walking even more difficult. Kit didn't know if she'd be able to make it home like this, but she knew she'd have to find some sort of shelter soon, or she'd be in trouble...

***************************************

Babysitter Anyone?

Ahh! No, babies! Stay away from those! You could get-

[It was about then that the cluster of tiny Digimon upset the rack of garden tools and sent them clattering to the ground... and in the case of the handle of one particular rake, onto Kit's head.]

-Ow! ...hurt.

[She sighed. It was becoming obvious that this wasn't working. Pattamon wasn't having any better luck, with two of the babies playing tug-of-war with his big wing-ears, much to his dismay.

Looked like there was only one thing to do. She pulled out her flupe and began to play, hoping its magic would trump whatever was making the babies run around all crazy.]

We Can Rebuild It

[While Kit wasn't much with a hammer and nails, and was obviously unsuited for any heavy work, painting was one thing she could do. And that's what she was doing now, slathering white paint onto the outside wall of a shopfront while humming a little tune to herself. She also kept an ear out just in case someone called for her; besides painting, she was also fetching tools and supplies for people who needed them. It was a lot of work, but the owner of the shop had promised free food to anyone willing to help out, and she had never been one to turn down food.

She sighed, though, looking at where the paint had dripped onto her clothed and fur.]

I'm probly gonna need a bath after this...

[BWG follows him, being careful himself.]

This strange event doesn't seem to faze you.

[When darkness took him, he expected it all to end. After all, Real Thing won. More like steamrolled him, really. Even with his darkness (darkness that the real Riku probably feared), even with the power he drained from Zexion, he failed. But that was fine. Inevitable, even. After all, he was just the imitation. Good riddance, right?

Riku told him that his heart would end up in the same place as his, though the Replica doubted it. Even now that he's regained consciousness, he still doubts this is what he meant. After all, waking up in some weird room with an overly eager creampuff that says "culu" a million times a minute? Yeah, no. If it weren't for the lingering soreness in his body, he would've called it a dream.

But nope, it's real, for better or worse, and as he storms through the ruined city, he wears an unwavering scowl on his face. His hands remain fixed into gloved fists. Gloved because, without his darkness, he's left with Riku's clothes, completely unarmed with some annoying monster thing trailing after him. Even then, he ignores the cries of:]

Heeeey, wait up, you dummy! You're doing this partner thing all wrong!

[The voice in question belongs to a perky Veemon who's toddling after him with a pout. They make it to the edge of the ruined Tokyo Tower before he finally stops and sneers at his tagalong.]

Look, if you want a partner that bad, can't just you find a new one?

[Someone may want to inform him how this Chosen Child thing works.]

Power Problems:

[Having successfully escaped his Veemon for the time being, the Replica now finds himself in the midst of an angry Kunemon swarm.

Electric bugs... He glares at the sight, reminded way too much of Larxene, if she became one of those Digimon-things. Left without his Soul Eater, he's forced to rely on other means of combat...

Specifically, a stick. Unfortunately, prodding electric insects tends to make sparks fly. In the midst of his attack, the bugs rear their heads back and shoot electrical blasts straight at his chest, and he tumbles back into a pile of rubble.

Really, at this rate, he's going to need a babysitter. Darn kids, so stubborn these days.]

I suppose it isn't for me, either.

[A burst of fire announces Flamon's presence, bowling over a couple of the Kunemon.]

Hey Riku, where's you're partner?

[Roxas had never seen Riku looking so small, but there's no mistaking him. And Riku would definitely recognize him, right?]

[ lo and behold. what is this starting to follow behind Roxas and Flamon?

well, no. not Sora. pretty close though - one of his partners, Renamon, is. ]

Room for one more?

Huh?

[Roxas turns around, and Flamon follows suit.]

Uh...sure! There's plenty of room.

[The Chosen smiles.]

I'm Roxas, and this is Flamon.

[Flamon lifts an arm in a lazy greeting. He's reminding Roxas a lot of Axel, but at least they're not exactly alike.]

Yo.

[A simple shake of his head is his answer.]

Other strange events are commonplace.

[Give him a second as he pushes himself back to his feet. His hair's a bit frazzled from the shocks, but nonetheless, he snaps his stick back up. It's right around that time that he hears an unfamiliar voice...

And promptly stares. Who is this guy? How does he know about Riku? Grinding his teeth, he blurts out a quick:]

I'm not Riku.

[And then he slams one of his shoes into the face of a Kunemon, smacking another with his stick.]

And who says I need a partner? I've got this under control, and I bet she's finally caught onto that.

[Sure, he might've been a bit cold, but come on. Him, a "Chosen Child?" That's a laugh. Besides, why would she want a partner like him?]

Edited 2013-11-24 02:39 (UTC)

Then why do you look exactly like him?

[And he definitely isn't recognizing Roxas. There goes the idea of fighting together.

Flamon blasts away another Kunemon.]

You need your partner because otherwise these guys're gonna fry you, and there's nothing you can do about it!

Edited 2013-11-24 02:42 (UTC)

Believe me, I wish I didn't.

[He sneers, rolling out of the path of a Petit Blaster attack and kicking another bug from behind.]

And me, fried? Please, if I can put up with Larxene, I can deal with a little static. Just because I can't use my darkness doesn't mean I'm weak.

[He says this as another electric attack fires at his back. He may want to dial that hubris down a notch.]

Roxas.

[ man. she should probably know that name... it sounds familiar enough anyway. ah well. she smiles and gives a nod to both. ]

Flamon. I'm Renamon, but lately my partner has been calling me Vixie. He said that with all of the different Renamon running around, he really should call me and Ryuudamon something different.

[ Vixie scratches her nose, almost embarrassed. ]

They were behind me. I guess I got a little carried away and got ahead of them.

Edited 2013-11-24 02:48 (UTC)

See that's why you wear a smock.

[Twenty feet away, a tall slender girl with soft pink hair was wearing a paint stained smock as she worked on a beautiful image on the side of a stone wall. Some of the image was sketched out in charcoal and if you moved to the right position you could see her idea. It was a large sized painting of titanmon under attack by many of the Digimon and chosen who had taken part in the battle. She was currently painting in the purple on what looked to be a large purple unicorn down by one of Titanmon's feet.]

Paint is absolutely awful to clean out of fur.

If this was Larxene she would've killed you by now.

[Roxas had only met her once, but it was enough to know that much.]

You can barely even defend yourself!

[There's no way this is Riku. Riku's not this stubborn. At least not anymore he isn't.]

Wah, don't worry! Don't worry, Growlmon will save you!

[Dukemon may find his concentration interrupted by the sound of an eerily familiar voice... and thundering footsteps. Kinda hard to miss those.

And why? Because Guilmon decided that the best way to save the falling Digimon was to evolve to a bigger form and try scooping them up in his arms. This... isn't working out so well because two Gatomon just landed in his face, covering his eyes, and now he's thundering right into Dukemon's direction.]

We should wait for them, then.

[Roxas says it with a smile.]

Like I said, there's plenty of room.

You promise me ice cream and then you make me wait? What kinda partner are you?

[The Chosen just chuckles.]

What makes you so concerned for them?

[He had felt the same concern many times before, but he still could not understand it.]

[He opens his mouth to speak, but promptly gets silenced by more electricity. Hissing, he snatches one of the Kunemon by the tail and smacks it into another one's face. Sparks fly between the two, and they topple over, dazed.

Two more spring up, latching onto the Replica's back, and he throws himself back-first against a building corner. Gotta give him an A for effort, even if he's at a complete disadvantage.]

I can defend myself just fine. This is just a warm up!

[More sparks nail him in the shoulders as he says this. Even if he possesses decent fighting skills, without a proper weapon and without powers he's grown so accustomed to, he's out of his league.

If Roxas listens closely, though, he may hear some approaching footsteps and shouts.]

[ Vixie chuckles as well, waving her hand. paw. whatever it is you want to call it here. ]

It's really all right. I don't want to keep you guys waiting. Ryuudamon is probably being a little bit of a sour puss. I don't think he felt like getting up today.

That's because he doesn't like to get up any day. Heh.

[ sure is a Sora finally making his way over, dragon digimon in tow. Ryuudamon snorts. ]

That would be because we finally have an opportunity to actually rest and rejuvenate.

[ but now as both Sora and Ryudamon get closer - ]

Oh hi Roxas.

[ fancy seeing you here. ]
