test drive meme

the test drive meme


It's a new day in The World, and a special quest is abound. But wait, the players cry! The game isn't open yet! Shush you, the GMs warned. This is only a test drive meme.

The game is simple. You've woken up in a lush field of grass, soft to the touch and a little damp with dew. Spring has reached The World, and there's a randomized checklist in your hand. Your goal is to catch five of the Lucky Animals bounding about, and it's perfectly fine to work together. In fact, we encourage it!

Collect them all and deposit them in a pen where the GMs await. There's plenty for everyone, but they will be watching closely for cheaters. Any items won in this pre-game minigame will carry over once [community profile] holyrelic opens, so get your limited edition item set today!

Magnificent prizes await you, so go forth! Just beware; some of the Lucky Animals aren't really so lucky and have their own side effects.

(All participants who apply will receive a mochi hat of the player's choosing. They can be either small (think mini tophats) or large (like a harvest cleric's hat) and any of the three colors, with any variety of accessories.

All participants who finish the quest will earn a spring-themed beginner item set! It will include one weapon and a bonus item set with five restoratives, five randomized buff spells, and five randomized food items.)

[Mumbles to himself.] That doesn't really make sense at all. [But nevertheless he glances around and tries to find another animal to catch. He sees something moving in the distance and hits Takeshi's arm to catch his attention.]

Over there, is that one cute enough?

[He points to a Fate Worm.]
lookslikemomo: (i'm listening)

[personal profile] lookslikemomo 2012-04-03 09:18 am (UTC)(link)
Huh, where? [Looking overrrrrr- huh. Well, it wasn't as cute as he was expecting it to be, but if Yuuta found it cute, then maybe it was? "Cute" was a relative description anyway!]

That'll do! Let's catch it and we'll be closer to finishing this!
isolates: (if you say so)

[personal profile] isolates 2012-04-03 09:22 am (UTC)(link)
Alright.

[He rolls his eyes again. It's obviously not cute at all but whatever, as long as they get it in the pen it's all good.]

Should I chase it over here and then you try to catch it?
lookslikemomo: (momo's a good boy)

[personal profile] lookslikemomo 2012-04-03 09:26 am (UTC)(link)
[It's okay, Yuuta. Takeshi will just think you have weird tastes.]

Yeah. It'll be easier to catch if we can flank it, I think. Much easier if we can set traps, but I don't think that's allowed!

Let's do this!

[Gentaro had spent the last five or so minutes of being awake to look around in awe at his new surroundings, but even more of that time being impressed by his new outfit that was on him. He wasn't exactly hard to impress as it is, so everything was just bewildering to the guy and it took him a bit to actually notice the checklist he had. Gentaro skimmed it over several times, just to make sure he was getting what it meant.]

Lucky animals, huh? No sweat! I've got this!! [He didn't really have this, no matter how much he really thought he did.]

[Roy sets off at a double-move to circle wide around the... whatever it was, he didn't recognize it. Suitably positioned, he watches for his apparent companion to get into place... then charges the thing, arms wide, to seize it!]
inhearts: (pinky promise.)

[personal profile] inhearts 2012-04-03 04:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Minako does the same and she follows his movements, matching him.

The Qi Lin hears Roy and bolts to one side -- where Minako is coming from. Upon seeing her, the creature immediately turns away and runs in the opposite direction ... where Roy is coming in from. Roll to see if your grapple is a success! ]
greatcleavage: (victory and also naked roy)

[personal profile] greatcleavage 2012-04-03 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Roy is a fighter with good Strength modifiers. Also throwing himself at the thing.]

Gotcha! [Picking up the squirming creature as he gets to his feet.]
inhearts: (cat's dance.)

[personal profile] inhearts 2012-04-03 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
That was great! [ Coming to a stop, Minako claps her hands together, beaming. She leans forward slightly, watching the Qi Lin curiously. ] Now that I get to see it close up, it's really cute!
greatcleavage: (sometimes things do go right?)

[personal profile] greatcleavage 2012-04-03 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Ha ha, it kind of is, isn't it? If someone's trying to get into the pet business, they might have a good start here.
inhearts: (starduster.)

[personal profile] inhearts 2012-04-03 04:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you think we'll be able to keep these as pets? [ Still looking over the Qi Lin. ] ...Oh! We have to put it inside one of the pens, right?
uwawa: (pic#2935724)

[personal profile] uwawa 2012-04-03 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
H-huh? Is this a shopping list...? [ it looks like one, not that she's ever been entrusted with one. ]

Um...uu-- what do I do? I don't have a DoReMi rune...

Huh? Wait, that's not right. Um...um...


O-oh! I'm supposed to feed them...?
greatcleavage: (as if anything could go right around her)

[personal profile] greatcleavage 2012-04-03 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Well we certainly wouldn't just put it in an arbitrary inventory slot in which it exists unharmed and invulnerable as if in temporal stasis. That would just be silly.

[Beat.]

Yeah, let's go drop it off.
inhearts: (prelude.)

[personal profile] inhearts 2012-04-03 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ... ] Is that how you keep a pet?
inhearts: (after rain.)

/sits on!

[personal profile] inhearts 2012-04-03 05:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[ One not very cute strange Chimera is headed your way, being chased by another girl who seems intent on catching it! What do you do, Viki? ]
greatcleavage: (talky man)

[personal profile] greatcleavage 2012-04-03 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Actually it's a lot like how our party wizard kept his familiar. But that's a weirder case.
inhearts: (sunset hill.)

[personal profile] inhearts 2012-04-03 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Was it a cat?

[ Starts heading for one of the pens but she'll let him set the pace. ]
uwawa: (are you under my dress?)

[personal profile] uwawa 2012-04-03 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she...does not notice. She's searching through the grass for something to feed the animals with when the strange Chimera crashes into here. ]

Eh? EH?!! [ i-is she being attacked. ]

o-oh no, what do I do? I'm alone, where's the Prince? What should I do...

[ have a freak out, accidental teleportation--! ]

Oh...it's gone? Did I do that? [ the question is where did it go? ]
inhearts: (true my heart.)

[personal profile] inhearts 2012-04-03 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Minako is startled when the Chimera disappears and most likely ends up on the head of a certain grumpy teen near by but you didn't hear it from me...

But! The (disappeared) Chimera is not too important right now! ]
Hey, are you okay?
uwawa: (is it supposed to taste like chicken?)

[personal profile] uwawa 2012-04-03 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Hyaaa!!! There was another one? I didn't notice--!

[ it takes her another moment of flailing to get a good look at the person who spoke to her. ]


...huh? [ a girl? ]

Meg?
antiside: (bellicoso.)

[personal profile] antiside 2012-04-03 06:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[ some distance away: ]

What-- What is--?!?!
inhearts: (ievan polkka.)

[personal profile] inhearts 2012-04-03 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry! ...Hmm?

[ She turns when she hears that yell-- Oh, wait, is that? ]

Ah, the Chimera!
isolates: (this is amazing)

[personal profile] isolates 2012-04-03 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yuuta nods and starts running to the side a bit so he can circle around behind the Fate Worm. Thankfully it doesn't notice him until he's behind it.]

Go go go!

[The Fate Worm gives a startled snort and bolts away from him.]
uwawa: (what is zweig doing in the woman's bath)

[personal profile] uwawa 2012-04-03 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, oh! Leave it to me! [ as if she knows what's going on. ]

Ready, set, go! [ nothing happens. ] Huh?

...

...

[ there we go, there goes the Chimera again-- and possibly other things with it. Into pen number... five? That's not right, wasn't she just at the fifth one. Oh dear, where did it go? ]


Oh wait! I was supposed to feed it!
greatcleavage: (sometimes things do go right?)

[personal profile] greatcleavage 2012-04-03 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hey, they're all Medium creatures here. And he's not running or anything.]

Raven, actually. It understood Common but refused to speak it.
