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. | |

Head cocked inquisitively, she looked from the cranes to him, leaning forward to sniff at him and his clothes. He obviously wasn't human, and he smelled incredibly interesting either way, and while his clothing was familiar and somewhat similar to the robes she wore, Amaterasu was quite simply stumped.
Huffing, she made a confused noise before reaching out to touch his hair. His face markings and the color of his hair reminded her a lot of someone she knew.]

He sees a gilded sun set in white, incandescent rays spilling in slanted bars out from above a golden terrace. He feels a hot wind on his skin; it carries a bright summer's flowers. He becomes forgetful of the city around him; in his head are white-capped mountains against a blue sky.
The corners of his mouth turn upward. His hands still.
He doesn't protest. Instead, he bows his head into her hand, and toward her. ] Omikami.
[ His picks up two pieces of paper; one white, one red, and starts to make another crane. ] You are very beautiful today.

Buffing her cheek against his shoulder in way of thanks, she watches as he folds the crane, her hands resting on the edge of the table. The sun goddess watched in silence until the beads on his wrist caught her attention. Wanting to wait until he'd finished with his work, it was only after he'd completed it that she ran her fingers across the beads, hooking her claws beneath them to study them.
So she hadn't really paid attention when they'd explained what they were for, disoriented and still half asleep when the strangers had spoken to her about them. Voicing her confusion, she cocked her head at him, her ears flicking forward as if she was asking him what the beads meant.]
no subject
[ There's a faint, impish curl to his lips. ] To sing praises. [ A painted nail rests on a white bead. ] To worship.
[ He turns his hand, palm up, to offer her the completed paper bird. The body is white; the tail and a spot on its back are red. He leans toward her and the motion is a bow, and his words are only for them. A secret far from home. ] There are no temples here, and your shrine is in your country.
But I can offer you my poor prayers.
no subject
Ahh~!
[The crane pleases her as soon as she sees it, making a happy, if surprised sound at its reveal. Taking it gently in her hands, she cocks her head at him and hums softly.
Yes, it was back in Nippon wasn't it. But she whuffs, leaning forward to rub her face against him again. She'd be more than happy to accept his prayers and praise if he was willing to offer them.]
no subject
[ Disappointment abounds at his words, but he deflects the protests and petitions with practiced ease, gathering up what remains of his papers and tucking them away in a drawer of the large box - or perhaps cabinet? - that had served as his table.
Once done, he hefts it on to his shoulder with no regard to its size or unwieldiness. ] I am told there are places to go.
I've been told quite a few things.
