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. | |

Rufus ShinRa | FFVII Compilation (Once more, now that retail isn't eating me!)
But one simply does not learn by watching- to truly learn, and perhaps, find out exactly what he was doing here, besides the bullshit reason given by the government (He would know, he ran an empire once himself.) So it seems only natural to see out others himself.]
Interesting, isn't it? I wonder what the occasion is.
no subject
I don’t know…. Do you think anyone would tell us the truth, us if we could find someone to ask?
no subject
[The more he learns about this place, the more Rufus can see the angles to be played. Of course, he has not been here long, to there were still many many holes to fill... but it was only a matter of time. At the very least, he hoped so.]
I think we would need to find somebody sober first. [A small smile, directed at her even as he looks away, out into the crowd and over... couples.] Or people not currently busy.
no subject
She is out of her element here, and it’s obvious. ]
Where would we find somebody like that? How do we know they won’t toy with us or only tell us things we already know?
no subject
You don't. [This is where his skills come in, despite everything else. Rufus is a master of working around others, of being a chessmaster. Even if he does not know the board very well, there was always a point to start at, and right now, that was gathering like minded people, investigating and going though what he did know.] But that is where your intuition, or a gut feeling comes in.
[He steps forward to go ahead, half turning and offering her some words to follow along.] Let's go take a look around.
no subject
[ When he steps forward, so does she, taking a deep breath. It’s time to be brave! ] Where do we go first? I’ve been that way already – [ She points. ] – and there’s nothing.
no subject
Then let's keep going this way, we can get a feel for the city. [Rufus does not mind having the girl in toe- More eyes and ears to have out on what they might be looking for, or at least to confirm that they can't find what they need. And even as they do head down in the opposite direction of which she pointed, it seemed just more of the same; The whole city in the mode of festivities, sexuality and just plain in the mood to party.]
no subject
[ Sara is relieved he doesn’t seem to mind having her around, since she’s a little nervous about wandering around alone right now. ] All right. Thanks for letting me come with you. What’s your name? I’m Sara.
no subject
Rufus ShinRa, a pleasure to meet you, Sara.
no subject
Thank you, ShinRa-san. It’s nice to meet you as well! Maybe we should tell each other a little bit about ourselves. Where are you from?
no subject
That he sees Rufus here actually causes him to look surprised though only last a second or two before one red brow cocks up and that half grin forms. Reno wanders over, an unlit cigarette between his lips and paying a hell of a lot more attention to what's going on around them than he seems. ]
Yo' Boss.
no subject
Well, this is a surprise.
no subject
It would be anyway if he cared to think on it. ]
Can you believe this shit?
no subject
Still wrapping my mind around it. [The audacity of it all is surprising, even Rufus has to admire it.] Anything from your end?
[Reno might notice he is still wearing the bandages underneath his clothes, just barley peeking out from underneath his shirt. Any sign of Geostigma on his hands, however, is gone.]
no subject
[ Or the ones who are just screwing period. ]
Nobody seems to know much more n' what that freak in the counseling office said.
[ He noticed them before. Rufus seems to be in pretty good shape though. So for now he keeps his silence on it. ]
no subject
[They had to kick him out of the office before Rufus would leave, always a man of a million questions and demands.]
no subject
[ As he spoke, Reno looks around; noted buildings and markers he hadn't seen before. Then his eyes swing back to Rufus with one brow cocked up in silent question. ]
Re: Rufus ShinRa | FFVII Compilation (Once more, now that retail isn't eating me!)
[He's cottoned on to the fact that the various colore beads seem like some sort of invitation to sexual exploits and that is the last thing Tseng needs Rufus to be dragged in to right now.]
