TEST DRIVE MEME -- JANUARY

[terminalmegas]

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) THIS TOWN AIN'T BIG ENOUGH: 300 BIT The Terriermon and Lopmon have started a turf war! You've been picked to stop it. Watch out for the Terrier Tornados and Blazing Ice. 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) OPERATOR?: 800 BIT The forests of the Digital World are strange places, especially with everything merging together. It looks like an unusual amount of weird telephone booths are showing up all over the place, displaying weird bursts of static and odd messages. Track down the booths and see if there's anything of importance...or listen to how to travel to Mars with a canoe. The second one's more likely. Watch out for Kuwagamon. He's irritable. 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).

Applejack | MLP:FiM because apparently a pony cast is needed here

[deciderly]

MINI-EVENT #3
It was hard enough walking on two legs, but running? Applejack hadn't been in Terminal Tokyo for very long, and she was already experiencing the culture shock. It was loud, busy, so different from the usual peaceful Ponyville she'd grown up in. But she could have dealt with that.

What she couldn't deal with were these critters that kept falling from the sky. They scratched and yelled, reminded her of cats and dogs but there were enough differences to remind Applejack just how weird of a place she was in. She stumbled away from a rather irritated Doggymon that had fallen directly on her just a few minutes before. For some reason, it thought that AJ was partly to blame for falling, even though she'd practically broken its fall.

At last, she managed to get away from the rabid Digimon by ducking into the nearest building she could find. "Phew!" she gasped, wiping her brow. "What in 'tarnation is goin' on here?"

MISSION #5
This was good. A somewhat relaxing day to get to know her new partner as well as get some more questions answered about the world she was now living in. Although she had been frightened about being plunked into an unfamiliar place, AJ had already made up her mind to do whatever she could to help the others here and get back home. This world may not have been hers, but it could have been connected to Equestria, for all she knew. Applejack and her friends were sort of heroes already, right? So, what did a hero do? A hero helped people, no matter what!

She sat on the grass, leaning against a tree as the sun warmed the area around them. Curled up at her side was a sleepy Kudamon. Applejack pet her, reminded oh her own dog back at home. Wonder what Winona's doin' without me, she thought. Well, no time to reminisce. It looked as though her teacher was making their way over.

[ooc: obviously AJ looks human. i'm currently in the middle of making her a human journal, but you just get pony icons for now. for those unfamiliar with the canon, here is what she looks like, though in plainer clothes, but those pony ears are definitely there]

Trixie did not care for training day, but she was taking part of it as a member of the team.

It felt strange, being part of the team. But since Hearth's Warming Eve she was making more of an effort to stay connected to the other ponies here.

Finding out the hayseed who had made her jelly and juice was around had left her feeling unsettled though. If all of Twilight Sparkle's friends arrived, where would they find room for her?

"So then, what can you do?" She challenged with her Pawnchessmon trundled up behind her in his clanking armor like she was being escorted by Celestia's troops.

aww trixie ;3;

[deciderly]

Applejack rose her head to see who had approached her. Oh. No, it wasn't... Of all the people here, why was Trixie her teacher? She sighed and fought the urge to pull down her hat over her eyes and take a nap. Come on, Applejack told herself. Twilight said Trixie was really trying to fit in with them. And Twilight Sparkle's word had to count for something.

Her eyes fell on the Digimon that was joining them. "Not much, Ah'm afraid," she said, and then looked back up at Trixie again. "Ah'm not sure how to... use this."

Kudamon lifted her head at that and chuckled, which just annoyed AJ. She wasn't Fluttershy! How was she supposed to communicate with an animal completely foreign to her?

She's just lucky the girls have been so forgiving of her.

[elementofpeanutbutter]

That accent. Trixie had forgotten how much it amused her! She had to bite her lower lip to keep from smirking at it. Smirking would be discouraging wouldn't it?

"Yes well...it takes some getting used to. It's all about finding common ground. What do you know about each other?"

if they can forgive sunset shimmer, trixie should have an easy road ahead of her

[deciderly]

Yes, smirking would be incredibly discouraging. Applejack didn't like how Kudamon was grinning at her, and she certainly wouldn't tolerate it from Trixie.

"Common ground?" she repeated, blinking large green eyes. She turned her head towards the little beast once more. "Well, she says she's a holy Digimon, whatever that means. An' she's able to do fancy calculations. Sometimes Ah can barely understand a word she's talkin' about!"

It helps that I took Trixie from the comics where she fought to protect Ponyville :)

[elementofpeanutbutter]

"Hmm..." Trixie's optimism took a shot there at the idea that this hay seed had been stuck with some kind of stuffy nerd girl Digimon.

"Then perhaps we need to make some common ground. And Trixie perhaps has something to start that off." Reaching into her cloak she produced a bag with flourish and from inside drew out some brown bottles with pictures of apples on them.

"A green human boy found some apple cider in the rubble and was passing some out. Drink together and share in an appreciation for it's bubbly refreshing crispness!" She declared as if that would be an instant bridge builder.

Pawnchessmon took one of the bottles quietly and lifted up his helmet's visor pouring it into the darkness that obscured whatever body...if any, existed inside his armor.

i will get around to reading those comics eventually aaaaa

[deciderly]

That... was something Applejack would have never expected Trixie to say. And she liked it, really. It was spoken with her usual flourish, so it seemed to glorify the cider. And Applejack could get behind that.

"Well, alright!" she exclaimed, using one of her newly-acquired hands to take the drink. Hands were bizarre, but useful in their own way. Like animal paws. Kudamon took a bottle as well with a polite thank you before opening her own bottle. "Cheers all around, y'all!"

Re: i will get around to reading those comics eventually aaaaa

[elementofpeanutbutter]

Trixie nodded watching them drink, smirking victoriously.

"There, now see how you both feel about the drinks. Discuss amongst yourselves the drinks and what other types of food and drink and candy you enjoy."

[deciderly]

Heh. Applejack could definitely see where Trixie was going with this now. And she was appreciative. It was like some sort of ice-breaker, but involving her favorite subject. Actually, the cider made AJ feel a little homesick, but other than that, she smiled cheerfully at her Digimon.

"So, whatta'ya think of it, Kudamon?"

The Digimon swayed her tail in thought as she tasted the cider. "It's... interesting. Apple juice, but also a little fizzy. I do like it."

"AJ! There you are." Rainbow Dash zipped in from the skies while carrying a Gatomon that had literally dropped into her lap and tried to shorten her hair! Thankfully, her Digimon was faster on the draw and prevented the calamity. Once landing next to her friend, she put the Champion Digimon down who promptly bounded off.

"Raining Digimon?! That's new...if he wasn't reformed and all, I'd totally pin this on Discord...but since it's not him I'll say weird coincidence."

(OOC: I switch between pony and human if you wanted to mix it up now and then!)

[deciderly]

Usually, when weird things happened with the weather, Applejack was not surprised to see Rainbow Dash fly through and try to correct mistakes or explain her actions. Right now, though, she hadn't been expecting her. AJ's mind was too busy dwelling on other things, like how she was going to survive in a world that literally rained cats and dogs.

"Those things tried to attack me!" she blurted out once Rainbow had landed, pointing outside accusingly. Though once Applejack raised her voice, their surroundings began to flicker a bit. That's when she noticed where she was...

They were in what looked to be some abandoned building. It looked normal enough upon first glance, like some sort of restaurant or bar, but it was... Well, for lack of a better word... glitchy. Different parts crackled or blinked in and out. Ugh, this place was just too weird! Applejack stared in disbelief.

[ooc: no problems here :3 do what you gotta do!]

[adashofloyalty]

"No problem, Applejack; your Friendly Neighborhood Rainbow Dash is-!" her catchphrase was cut off by the sudden appearance of the building, the former Pegasus staring at it but used to it by now as she'd been here longer than her friend.

"Pretty sure the weather here can't rain all the time like this, but maybe we'll find our answers here!" Rainbow began, about to make her way inside as per usual...!

"WAIIIIIIIIIIT!" The cyan-haired girl came to a stop at the cry of her partner Falcomon, who ran in but her wings flapped in anticipation.

"...Speedy, you should've caught up to me 5 seconds sooner!"

"I'm sorry Rainbow Dash, but the falling Gatomon needed me; I couldn't abandon them!"

...Yes Applejack, Dash's partner did sound very familiar.

[deciderly]

Find their answers here? Did this place have something to do with the rain? Applejack followed her friend inside before she was halted by the voice coming from the Digimon behind her.

"Y'named yer Digimon Speedy?" She didn't know they were allowed to name their partners. Didn't they have names already?

[adashofloyalty]

Either that, or this was just Dash's way of welcoming Applejack to the Digital World. She nodded after hearing her question.

"Yeah! She can barely keep up with me in the sky but for some weird reason, on foot she's nearly as fast as me. Her real name's Falcomon but there are probably a ton of 'em out there so mine's epecial."

[deciderly]

Applejack made an "Oooh" sound before turning to Falcomon. "Er, hey there, Speedy! My name's Applejack." She offered the creature a smile.

[adashofloyalty]

"It's nice to meet you, Applejack! Rainbow Dash has told me a lot about you." Speedy smiled back and held out a wing for her to shake.

"Hey!" Rainbow was quick to jump in, interjecting any other bits of information from being spilled.

i reserved yay!!

[deciderly]

"She has, has she?" Applejack said as she carefully took Speedy's wing and shook it. She tilted her head to the side a bit, amused, but also curious.

3, Sorry I know it's late, but I couldn't help it XD;;

[strengthinkindness]

"Oops, I'm sorry...excuse me...oh, please be careful - !"

It was difficult to tell whether Fluttershy was trying to avoid the falling Digimon or trying to catch them. In either case, she was careful to place the Gatomon and Doggymon she did catch on the ground as she made her way to the same building close by.

never too late! i'm happy to play with you~

[deciderly]

As Applejack made her way out of the storm, she caught sight of familiar pink hair and yellow fur (No, that wasn't right. It was skin)... She stopped abruptly and changed gears, instead running over toward the other girl to protect her.

"Fluttershy! C'mon! Stop wastin' time, we gotta get outta here!"

Yay~ X3

[strengthinkindness]

She paused for a moment as she glanced at Applejack, looking a little torn between what she was doing and going with her friend.

"B-But...the poor Digimon..."

As if to drive the point home, another Gatomon landed her arms, pulling her attention back. Gently she placed the cat-like Digimon on the ground.

[deciderly]

That was a nice catch. It was Applejack's turn to look torn, as she had just been running away from the falling Digimon without even worrying about them. What if they got hurt? Not all of these little monsters were their enemies, and yet, here AJ was, running away from them as though they were all out to get her. It wasn't their fault they were falling, was it?

She sighed, hearing Fluttershy loud and clear. "Ah wonder if we could make their landin' a little easier," she mused, holding out her arms to catch another Gatomon that fell.

[strengthinkindness]

She smiled a little, happy that Applejack was willing to help her. Though how was a different matter entirely.

She gave a surprised noise when a Doggymon landed on her head, carefully picking up the startled Digimon and setting it down. "If only we had something soft for them to land on..."

[deciderly]

Applejack snapped her fingers. "Like a mattress!" If only Twilight were here, she might be able to turn the ground into a pillow, or Rainbow Dash could round up a bunch of the critters into one area. Even if they could get a few mattresses together, there was no way Applejack and Fluttershy could save every Digimon alone. This was something that required teamwork. For now, the two friends would have to make do with what they had. "We can look in some o'these buildings for blankets, an'stuff."

[strengthinkindness]

"Oh...!" A smile light up Fluttershy's face, her feathered wings fluttering. "That's a good idea...!"

fluttershy so cute

[deciderly]

That smile made Applejack smile back. It looked as though they were on the same page. "Okay, Ah'll start lookin' over on this end, but Ah need you t'look too. If y'need help movin' somethin', just call me."
