Test Drive Meme: The Overflow
PLEASE CONTINUE YOUR THREADS OVER AT THE LATEST OVERFLOW POST, THANK YOU.
Please note that all CR in this meme can be carried over when the game starts between characters that are accepted into the game.
Threads can also count towards third and first person samples on the application, just provide links.
Take a look at our OOC Meet and Greet post! Meet. Greet. Make friends. Have fun!
 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. | |

[Of course, she's not going to say she usually got asked to leave. That wouldn't exactly leave the best impression.
They pass by a few food booths and Makoto keeps an eye out for Usagi. She may have come here with nowhere else to go.
...the food does look pretty good, though. Even if the flower arrangements that grace the picnic tables are completely wrong, and that earns the tiniest little critical look from her.]
I think all that's stuff you just have to get over to grow up.
no subject
And yeah, he had to admit, the food did look pretty good here.]
Are you hungry or anything? We could grab something while we look...
no subject
I could eat a little something- [Hmm.] And something to drink.
[She tilts her head in the direction of the vendor.]
Shall we?
no subject
What do you want?
no subject
Wow, this stuff looks great!
[She bites her lip in thought before something catches her eye, her face lighting up.
She points at a rather delicious looking pastry.]
I think I'll have a cream puff.
no subject
We can find somewhere quiet to eat?
no subject
I think I saw somewhere that looked kind of out of the way.
[When their food is ready, she picks up hers and gestures for him to follow.]
Follow me.
[You know, if Makoto didn't know better and there wasn't some horrible, ominous feeling of tyranny looming overhead, this would almost feel like people getting to know each other on a date. As totally and completely weird as that is.
Luckily, Sam doesn't remind her at all of that guy, so she's not gushing over him or anything. But she could see how she'd enjoy his company.
It's only a hop, skip, and a jump from the place she'd spotted, a little bluff off the main street with a short stone wall overlooking the city.]
How's here?
no subject
When they reached the area, he flashed a smile and nodded.] Looks great.
[He went to take a seat and looked over at her.] So, where do you think your friend would be hanging out anyway?
no subject
You know, I'm kind of surprised that we didn't see her at the food. When there's nothing else, Usagi gravitate towards food.
[Her expression then shifted to something more pensive.]
I'm worried about her getting scared. She can be that sort of person sometimes.
no subject
Hey, I'm sure she'll be fine. I'm not saying the people who brought us here are saints, far from it, but so far... the city itself doesn't seem all that bad. And we'll find her, if she's here.
no subject
You're right. It's not as bad as it could be.
[She begins to unwrap the pastry, thinking idly aloud.]
Nobody's even really trying anything funny. They're just all into...well.
[Usually, even the idea of talking about sex so openly with someone she didn't know would be too much, but for some reason, it doesn't feel that embarrassing. It's almost like stating facts.]
no subject
That was good at least.
He unwrapped his own pastry and gave her a look.]
Hopefully, that part at least stays taht way.
no subject
[Still, even if it was all about the fun here, she would remain focused on her goal, thank you very much.
She took a bite of her snack, savoring the sweetness. Mmm. It really was good, and Makoto was one to appreciate things like that.
There was just a few moments before she spoke again, though.]
Sam?
no subject
When she poke up again though, he gave her a curious look.]
Yeah?
no subject
I just wanted to thank you for helping me out and sticking around. Some people wouldn't do that.
no subject
no subject
[She looks sheepish before she speaks up again, mostly to not feel so cheesy about breaking out the "thank you so much"s so soon.]
And, well, it's kind of nice to be around someone who's taller than me for a change.
no subject
Yeah? I guess I know that feeling... I barely ever meet anyone taller than me. [It was a rare occasion anyway.]
no subject
Well, it has its perks, right? But I guess it can be a bummer sometimes, too.
[She gives a theatrical sigh.]
You know, a lot of guys are intimidated by a woman that's taller than them.
no subject
Well, can't say I've ever experienced that problem... [He's never met a woman that's been taller than him that he can remember, really.]
But not every guy is, I bet. Plus you're pretty, you know? And you seem pretty interesting too.
no subject
Oh. Well. That's...that makes her happy, and she can't help the little flush that creeps back. She's really got to stop getting flustered at people saying nice things.]
Thanks. You seem pretty interesting, too. You said you and your brother travel around? That's something I've always wanted to do.
no subject
Yeah, pretty much our whole lives actually. My dad traveled a lot on business. [He tips his head, curious.] Where would you like to go if you got the chance?
no subject
[Well, except for here. This didn't quite count as a trip.]
Rome would be nice. I love cooking, and Italy's the capitol of the world for that.
[And romance, but that wasn't imperative to the conversation.]
no subject
I haven't actually been out of my country all that much... It'd be nice to, I think.
no subject
[She leaned back, legs dangling over the wall as she stretched them out.]
But you know how it is. You just get really busy and those things don't seem so important.
