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]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png){kind=small} 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.) |

One, this wasn't Shibuya. Precious few places in Shibuya were this green anymore, and there was no sign of any urban landscape.
Two, he wasn't alone. There seemed to be some sort of game going on. Nothing he was familiar with, but there were other people running about chasing after... small animals. And there were pens, and a piece of paper in his hand. Was he expected to participate?
Three, someone had changed his clothes. They weren't particularly terrible, and he didn't mind the pink-on-white motif, but the style of the clothing wasn't the most flattering thing. Like someone had combined a pastel Lapin Angelique ensemble with some Sheep Heavenly pants, then had removed any bit containing frills or lace. An... interesting thought, really.
Four, someone had taken his cell phone. And had replaced it with some sort of steampunk-style touchscreen device. Not only had someone manhandled him enough to change his clothes without him noticing, but they had also stolen the one thing he never goes anywhere without.
This had better be a strange dream spawned by sleep-deprivation. Or something he ate.
As it is, he's still sitting in the grass, peering at both the strange list and the... somewhat odd-looking animals. And the prizes. Those look like they would go well with his current outfit. Yes, despite the irritation at his current situation, and despite the fact that it might just be a dream? That is enough of an incentive to participate. Besides, it looks like it might even be a little fun...]
Hmm~

Apparently they expect us all to join forces... Whilst I would love to deny them their wish, I doubt I could catch these animals on my own. Are you otherwise occupied?
no subject
Who, me? Not at all. Just trying to get my bearings.

I take it you haven't caught any yet?

CRASHES INTO THIS
That was the first thought that ran through Neku's mind when he blearily opened his eyes and saw the Lucky Animals prancing about what seemed to be quite the luxurious field. His limbs ached, his head hurt, and it was just a tad bit too bright here for his own tastes. Did he mention that horrible headache?
Getting up, muttering with a soft, "ow", at the soreness, it came to dawn on him that things were very, very different. And by that, he meant the all inclusive list of: attire, surroundings, and anything else one could think of. The hell?
He sits up, just enough to get a better angle on this chaos... and uh, oh hey, what's this list?
At least it doesn't have numbers on it.His attention was diverted when the list teasingly began to drift away because of the 'wind'. Shit, that was his only clue -- ! Scrambling now. Ow, ow, ow this is awkward, grass-burn, ow ...!! ]
BOOYAH wait no that's Beat
And he's putting his foot down on your list, there. So it doesn't fly away. Isn't that kind of him~?]
Well, well. Long time no see, Neku-kun.
....CLOSE ENOUGH?
There's a tenseness that runs up Neku's spine that he can't shake. And for good reason. That voice. That was why he was in this mess, it just had to be!
His eyes darted up shortly afterward, shoulders visibly tense, hand mid-stretch. Blink. Oh right he should say something. ]
Give me that. [ He's not in the mood for conversation, or particularly in the mood to yell at you for a plethora of reasons, Joshua. Instead, he's going to give you the flattest of irritated looks, gaze dropping back down to Joshua's foot. ]
SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT
You seem so irritated.
OF COURSE...!
Until he sits back and looks back up at Joshua, about to say something, but instead sees what the other is actually wearing. Bliiiiiiink. Complete and utter confusion -
And then... snerk. ]
no subject
Can I help you?
no subject
The outfit works for you, Josh. You should keep it. [ Someone sounds awfully amused. c: ]
no subject
How flattering, Neku-kun! You're going to make me blush. I'd planned on keeping it, actually.
[There. Does that dampen your amusement?]
no subject
The amusement is gone and he's just staring at you. ]
Good for you... [ Trailing off as he gets to his feet, brushing off blades of grass. ]
Are you going to tell me where we are, now?
no subject
Well, I might if I knew. But, seeing as I'm not entirely certain...
[And now? He's admiring your outfit, Neku.]
Hm. Going for the RPG protagonist look?
no subject
[ Neku wants to do something along the lines of flip Joshua off for that statement, but instead he crosses his arms stubbornly. ]
If I was, I'd love to hear what look you're going for.
[ Because he'd love to divert the attention back to you! So stop looking at him. ]
no subject
If I'd dressed myself, I could tell you! Whoever it was, though, didn't have too terrible a sense of taste.
no subject
.....Also, what are you doing? [ ...What. Are you doing with the hat. What. ]
no subject
[He's growing partial to it, actually! His fingers will just play with the end of one of those tassels.]
Hmm? What do you mean?
no subject
Forget it. [ Commenting would only add fuel to the fire, it seemed. ] Let's just figure out what we're supposed to be doing.
[ Neku did you just accidentally agree to hanging around Joshua - ?! ]
no subject
If you say so, partner.
[This day is just turning out more and more interesting.]
