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. | |

But this was an entirely different playing field, even for him as an adult and some part of him felt his warning was not getting through the young man's head.
He took a step closer, ran a look over Takeshi and then just sighed "Just don't get yourself killed by some sicko with a penchant for the bizarre."
Because instincts were exactly what Hibari intended to follow, his were of another nature than most though so how well this would work out remained to be seen.
no subject
"Hibari is much more perverted than I thought," He muses in a thoughtful, purposeful tone. Yamamoto would be lying if he said he weren't curious about the reasons behind this quiet man giving him advice and sounding like he cares, when he knows that isn't usually the case.
no subject
Solitary he remained on the fringes of the main family, there when needed but seeming only to tolerate the group as a whole. It could not be said Hibari cared for anyone, though he had those points which showed some beneath the truth of who he was, nothing that would mark him as a friendly man by any means.
His eyes hardened when he felt the elbow,the gaze snapped to the ball player as the other mused.
Rather it's his words or actions or all combined Hibari moved in, took his chin between forefinger and thumb and gave him a look that could only be labeled as intense.
"You have no idea." He was a man who had always seemed to come off intimidating, even as a boy and there was just a small hint of a smirk when the words left his lips and his hand let go of the other Guardian"s face.
no subject
It's the fact that he grabs his chin and seems to agree with him that stuns him. Yamamoto isn't sure what to do in the next second when Hibari drops his hand away and he chuckles, scratching at his neck. "I'm glad you're here, then."
More or less, he's glad he isn't alone. Hibari may not be friendly or have any real association with the family besides the ring he wears, but he's a familiar face to Yamamoto, and he finds comfort in that. It's small, but in a place like this, without his regular securities, even the Cloud Guardian feels like a part of home.
That icon is adorable.
He scoffed, pivoted as if he were going to walk off, yet Hibari was a cold but not heartless man. He cast that steel gaze over his shoulder at the teenager.
"Let's move, people are starting to come." Facts were facts, they had to survive here, he could not leave a teenager to do that alone, considering what he had been told.
He would find his way to have his solitude, that was for certain but he would not just leave Takeshi standing here alone either.
lol thank you! Also I keep screwing up the tense! Sorry!
"Haha! They'd probably turn back!" Not that Yamamoto was an intimidating young man by any stretch of the word, but Hibari exuded enough of an ominous atmosphere that it would keep people away for hours more to come.
Not to worry, I do it too!
"I'd bite them to death if not." He said it flatly, no hint of doubt that is precisely what he would do at this point if someone got in his way as he kept a sharp eye on their surroundings, familiarizing himself with the strange area.
no subject
"Haha! And if they're into that kind of thing?" He's joking around, but he doesn't wish Hibari's bite on anyone. Ever.
no subject
"Hm, trying to say you're into that kind of thing are you." It was a jibe, teasing and for Hibari relatively harmless with as harsh as the man could be, at this moment, he would not be biting in any way someone would enjoy or at least he does not think so, of course, the world takes all kinds.
no subject
He wonders if Hibari has ever had anyone enjoy the whooping that the Cloud handed them. Certainly, most everyone under those tonfa deserved it, but were there any that derived a certain kind of pleasure. Something about the atmosphere of Ariel tells him that that is most certainly so, and he looks doubtfully at the Cloud before him.
no subject
But that man was the farthest from Hibari's mind right now as he looked for a quiet place, that would not fill up and he could afford himself at least some semblance of privacy.
"Should I bite you and see then?" The dead pan look made it impossible to tell if he was serious or not.
no subject
"Haha! Sure!" Yamamoto isn't welcoming it, but acting so flippant about it should help to convey that he doesn't want to become a chew-toy.
no subject
"That's where you'll get yourself hurt, what if I did, right here, right now." He looked down at Yamamoto, oh he still had some control, despite what that chip was feeding into his head.
But, how long would it last and why was it that this particular male seemed to be inciting the desires those images were feeding.
no subject
He chuckles, because really, he expected that. Hibari isn't giving him much credit. Yamamoto doesn't think he will until he proves himself. "Haha! You might now, but not then." Where would the challenge be in that? Yamamoto knows that the Cloud is as susceptible to a good challenge as he is. If he just accepted getting bitten, there would be no fun in that. What he says now is what he has to be careful about.
"Guess that kind of depends on how you bite." With tonfa, or literally?
no subject
"I'd do it right here and now, if I was weak enough to give into what they want."
He turned, really, how many times was this that he had touched the other now, he cursed that chip and if he could cut it out of his head right now he would.
Pffft what THEY want. Hibari you aren't fooling anyone
Yamamoto isn't going to voice it, but that does make him a little uncomfortable. He hadn't been serious, but it seems that Hibari's urges are much stronger than his own. The swordsman is kind of lacking in the personal-space-invading urges or anything sexual at the moment. He has ideas, but Hibari is terrifying, and Yamamoto doesn't want to take a hit to the head for making a bold, unwanted move.
"Haha! I'm glad it's you, then!"
HE IS NOT ADMITTING THE TRUTH EVEN TO HIMSELF...he'll just release the rain and blame the chip.
"Keep telling yourself that."
How happy would he be if they succeeded, if they actually reeducated this man, turned him into someone who could not resist his baser urges, would Yamamoto still be happy then, as they continued to walk once Hibari let go of him the Cloud had to wonder. Yet, the Rain stayed patiently with him, it was a strange occurrence, most would have went a separate way by now.
LOOK INSIDE YOURSELF, HIBARI.
"I am, though."
He'd meant it. Hibari is scary, but it seems he has a lot to give... and it will take a lot to get it out.
NEVER! That means admitting he might need someone, takes alot to get him to do that.
But not now, no this time they had only set upon him with the Rain, the Cloud had to wonder over this, he saw purpose in everything and believed these people here made no random decisions.
No, they wanted something from them.
"Where are you staying?"
Or he could just be a selfish bastard and do what HE wants
Or rather, wherever he's assigned. Yamamoto hadn't asked about it, but he knows he can. For now, he'd rather just look about and enjoy the festivities to the best of his ability.
He takes that question as his cue that he needs to leave, and he stops behind Hibari.
HE WILL...just not the first day <<
"Why are you stopping?" He was not wanting to enjoy the festivities, no but he did need to learn as much as he could about this place, gathering intelligence was a man part of his job and he had little of that here.
He also despite his desire to end any social interaction right now, would wait it out and at least see that the teenager got inside his new residence, safe from people weaker than himself who would take see that easy smile and think him an easy target.
Though, Hibari knew he would fight back and survive, he had fought people stronger than those here.
XD gotta keep lyin'
He's still a part of their family, and the Rain trusts him.
On this desire, ahyup, even to himself XD for now..Yamamoto may wear him down?
Even in a place like this. He shoved the triggers from the chip as far back in his mind as he could.
"We'll need to find where they assigned us." Hopefully it was close enough he could leave the boy to his own room.
He was not looking to share quarters, if he did not have to.
