![]() THE OVERFLOW Since the last post is fast approaching 3k comments and getting laggy for some of our players, we have decided to go ahead and stick up the overflow post. 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. | |

No, I'm not. I guess that makes me pretty strange, huh? [He shrugs.] Not many other demons can say, or even want to say, they were saved by a human when they were young. Needless to say I prefer the company of humans than of my own kind.
no subject
Shirou had saved him. Even if he hadn't known it, Shirou spared his life in spite of his flames and let him live as a human for the past fifteen years. He raised a son, not a weapon like Mephisto led the Gregori to believe.
A moment ago, Night was some stranger he had just plowed in to by chance, but now he was seeing... something else in that sad smile, that receding back.
A kindred spirit? Or maybe... his future, in some one else...]
no subject
His smile returns, more of a grin now.] What are you hanging back there for? Something catch your eye?
no subject
Nah. 'snothing. Just distracted.
no subject
[He looked around at some of the booths. While some of them were less than innocent there were still some that one could find at any sort of carnival. Like that shooting game, where you shoot the bottles to win a prize.
He points to it.] Hey, wanna see who can shoot down the most bottles?
no subject
The question did draw his attention to the game. Shooting. Figures. The one thing Yukio is good at and he isn't.
Still, he'll grin and dart over.]
Bet I can whup your ass at this!
no subject
I highly doubt that! [He picks up one of the toy guns, waiting for Rin to do the same.] Unless you're meistering in Dragoon or something, I'm not too worried.
no subject
[Rin, your ego is showing.]
no subject
[He may not be the best at these games, but he did try for Dragoon at one point. So at least he knows how to hit a target fairly well.
He's already shooting, by the way, Rin. Better catch up.]
no subject
Okay he's not an awful shot, but he's certainly not hitting center target at all.]
Twin! I'm the older one though!
no subject
no subject
[A miss. A bad one. Went off and hit the wall even]
Already a certified exorcist. Has been for the last two years.
[A pause to focus more on shooting, until the game is over.
Night still winds up beating him by a long shot, and Rin just stands there for a minute, scowling at his results.]
... he's a genius. Unlike me.
no subject
Not cutting yourself any slack there, are ya, kid? Why'd he get an early start anyways?
no subject
He snags the rabbit from Night to look at it while they walk, messing with the stuffed, fuzzy arms and vaguely remembering the pink stuffed rabbit he got during the big birthday party.
It's still in his dorm room back home.]
'cause, he got his mashou when we were born. He was seein' demons 'fore I ever knew there were any. Or... knew I was one. My powers were sealed until last year.
no subject
That's a bit unfair and it certainly gave him a leg up in the game. I bet if you had both started at the same time you'd be on the same level with him, yeah? [He pockets his hands again.] Don't beat yourself up over it. All you can do now is just work twice as hard to catch up. It's all you can do.
no subject
Hell yeah. Some day, I'm gonna surpass him.
no subject
By the way, you can keep it. You can tell some pretty girl a big strong man won it for it! [Isn't he just a laugh? He sure thinks so.]
no subject
[The pat on the back makes him nearly drop the rabbit, but he fumbles and manages to catch it before it falls on the dirty ground where everyone has been walking and doing god knows what else.
Whew.]
Tch, I got a better idea. I'll just tell 'em I won it, and get all the praise for that too!
won it for you* wow
herpherp?
sobs into hands
shhh honey it's the wine talking /pet
[Oh.]
Damn it.
it does things to me...
it's okay, I forgive you
Ha ha. Don't go thinkin' this is gonna be a normal thing! I might save your ass some day too!
good 8]
