Test Drive Meme: The Overflow, Part Deux!
 THE OVERFLOW, PART DEUX! Since the last post is again fast approaching 3k comments and getting laggy for some of our players, we have decided to go ahead and stick up the overflow post, even though there's just a little over a week to game start. Please continue your threads or start new ones here if you'd like. To make this easier on those continuing threads from the last meme, here's a handy form: Please remember to let your thread partners know you've bumped your threads over here as well! We started the meme early to give you plenty of room to do just that. With the City of Ariel grand opening only a month away, we are holding our first ever test drive meme. Tag in and see how your character would settle in the game. You're a fresh face in the city, newly processed, and arriving at a bustling time. The city is expanding and you are greeted first in the re-education center by your helpful counselors and then directed out of the building to a large festival. Be puzzled, make friends, have sex, or whatever you want! There are no restrictions on thread types played out here. Your first awareness that something has gone wrong comes during a groggy moment of semi-lucidity when you look around yourself and find that -- instead of wherever you remember being last -- you're in a chair, in a room with a man you don't recognize. He's sitting behind a desk whistling to himself and sorting paperwork. The whole atmosphere might remind you of a high school guidance counselor's office, only with far more comfortable chairs. You were brought to Ariel during a very special time! There's a large festival going on celebrating the new expansions to the city and everything is decked out for it. Everything is bustling and vibrant in the city today because of the celebrations. There are decorations up, food vendors set up all along the streets, kissing booths, games, and just about anything else you can imagine an event like this would have! The people of Ariel are out and about as well, some are in vibrant costumes and others are just checking out the sights. Some of the more exhibitionist types are even having a little more fun out in public than you may be used to seeing back home. As soon as the grogginess from your arrival passes, you are allowed to leave the re-education center and see it all for yourself. Upon exiting, you are even handed beads of various colors, several of each so you don't worry about running out. Each color has a special meaning listed below: pink - toys These are to aid you in making a connection with others. Show your interest in others and tell them exactly what you would like to do with them by sharing the beads. If you would rather take a different approach, feel free to walk around the festival and see what (or who) catches your eye. The point is to relax and get settled in your new home. | |

Take a look at our OOC Meet and Greet post! Meet. Greet. Make friends. Have fun!
New one!
"Haha! I hope I didn't hurt you!" The young Japanese man looks towards someone who might have shoved her. It looks like a simple accident, so... maybe her bad or someone else's. Either way, there's no harm done, and now he has someone to talk to!
Well hello thar
He was awfully smiley for someone who wasn't naked and doing any of what half the people around them were doing. But hey, she'd much prefer that to being snapped at - or worse. "You cool?"
no subject
"Haha! Yeah! I guess so." And he brushes the sleeve of his shirt off right on the forearm just for show because hey, the most damage she'd done is wrinkle it and maybe startle him a little. The swordsman may be able to play cool, but he's underage and still trying to digest the fact that he is very much lost and confused in a place like this. It's a lot of pressure, really and somehow... it's not so heavy when he can see someone else smiling at him. His own softens into something less dorky and he takes a step back to allow her more space. Really, it will make him more comfortable too, considering he feels bad about the fact that he's staring on top of acting goofy around a complete stranger. Who is he trying to impress? Come on.
"It could have been worse then that, right? Hehe!" She could be a man, or someone threatening, or... someone trying to have sex with him? Yamamoto isn't sure what to expect, and he tucks some of the beads around his neck down out of sight to leave only the black one exposed.
no subject
Considering what she'd had pressed up against her while moving through the crowd, she was tempted to burn her clothes later. Or wash them in bleach. And fire. And more bleach. Then maybe her eyes could go next.
Her own beads were shoved far, far out of sight.
no subject
"Uh..." Yeah, he has no idea what she means by that, but he is glad that it had been her hand. "Right!" It could have been her... head? Yamamoto doesn't like to think he's the only lost, underage young man in a place like this... so why isn't there a bead for 'help I'm a virgin and I don't know what to do'?
no subject
Well, that and it was fun.
"Because, you know, some other parts might have been kind of embarrassing, clothed or not, you know?"
no subject
Still, he's a calm guy, no matter how nervous and underage he might be. So, the swordsman finally catches her drift and then remembers all the people he'd seen today that had been so active. With the messages running in his mind, he can't seem to steer his eyes away as they look her over and he takes a soothing, small breath before smiling casually.
"Not in a place like this, right? It's kind of expected! It would have been more embarrassing if it were on purpose!" And at that, his nerves soothe away behind another chuckle.
no subject
no subject
"One way is more embarrassing for me, and another for you. Good thing it was an accident, though!" Not that he wants to avoid talking about her body, just that it's something he isn't accustomed to. It's not how he was raised, and it will have to take a while longer in Ariel for him to even begin following any kind of lead.
"Oh, I'm sorry!" Yamamoto takes a step back from her, forgetting for a moment in his nerves that he hadn't introduced himself. That goofy smile is back and he bows, "I'm Yamamoto!"
no subject
"I'm Kenzi. So, Yammy, what do you think of our new little place so far, hmm? Cozy, isn't it?" Cozy was one way to put it. Debauched might be a better one. Perverted would probably be the best.
She was all for living and letting live and being free and expressing yourself with yadda yadda, but this place was like... succubus heaven. Bo would probably have a freakin' field day here. If she was here.
no subject
"Nice to meet you, Kenzi!" He likes that name, and thinks that this is probably the first person he's met that isn't treating him like the fool he feels. "Well... I wouldn't say that, but it is very welcoming." His eyes soften as he looks off for a second, wondering if any of his friends were brought to this world as well. "Have you been here for very long?"
no subject
To wake up and be back on her couch, blissfully wrapped up in her pjs and with a handy bottle of wine within reaching distance. Oh, yes please.
And for the record, she didn't have a clue about Japanese customs. She was Canadian. Not much travelling in her itinerary.
no subject
There is a great deal of determination and concern about them helping to cloak all his nerves, so when he looks back at her, there is nearly no trace of the boy she'd ran into. "Do you have something important to get back to?" It would be a comfort for him to know he isn't the only one in that regard.

"I can help keep a look out for them," Yamamoto offers. It would give him something to do while he searches for his own family.
no subject
"I've got my peepers out for them. Don't think it's likely, though."
no subject
"It won't hurt to look, just in case. It's not like we don't know what it's like to be new here, hm?"
no subject
"Really, I'm sure it's all good in the hood, broski. If anyone can take care of herself in a sex city, it's Bobo." Now Kenzi, on the other hand, wasn't so sure she was keen on having any muff-related adventures in the near future.
no subject
"Haha! Maybe only people like her should have been brought here!" People of age with experience who don't let softly suggestive jokes fly right over their heads. Now, there's something youthful about Kenzi's face, but Yamamoto has a feeling that the woman before him probably has some experience with sex. Sure, she may not be comfortable with Ariel, but he almost feels compelled to ask her for advice on the matter. That might make the illusion that he's relaxed disappear completely, though.
no subject
no subject
"Well! We can be friends. I may not be very useful around here for stuff like that, but if you need help with anything, I'd be happy to lend a hand!" Even if it was something as simple as... pulling stuff down from high places. Yamamoto is grinning, obviously very happy with the idea of making a friend in this strange new place.
no subject
no subject
"Well, I don't know anyone around here, so the more, the merrier!" And he is very eager. He and Kenzi may never even be close, but to him, a friend is still important. There may come a day when she may be the only person he can count on, and he will, even if it's at a bad time or if Kenzi isn't up for it.
