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.)

[Yuuta wastes no time and proceeds to lead the way to the pen 3 to drop off the Tsutsuga. Once it's safely behind the gate, he turns back to Kirino.]

There, one down. Time to chase after some more.

[personal profile] doingthemistything 2012-04-02 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
All right. Let's get to it. [Kirino starts making his way from the pen, glancing around.
isolates: (what are you talking about)

[personal profile] isolates 2012-04-02 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
[Yuuta follows after, also on the look out for something else they can catch. In the mean time though, he tries to make small talk, especially since he doesn't recognize Kirino.]

So, have you ever done something like this before?

doingthemistything: (6)

[personal profile] doingthemistything 2012-04-02 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
No, I haven't. You seem like you've had experience with these sorts of things, though.
isolates: (seriously?)

[personal profile] isolates 2012-04-02 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
It's because I've been in The World before. [He only realized that when he woke up in the field though, since he had no memories of being stuck in a game world while he was home.] Quests can be different though but you get used to them.

[His eyes widen as he speaks because he sees some movement to his left. He turns around quickly and reaches up to pull at Kirino's shirt to get his attention.]

Hey, there's something over there.

[personal profile] doingthemistything 2012-04-02 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
The World?

[Kirino takes a look in the direction Yuuta indicates, then nods, trying to make his way over as quickly and quietly as possible in order to look.]
isolates: (gonna think about it)

[personal profile] isolates 2012-04-02 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
That's what this place is called.

[His voice trails off though as he moves away from Kirino, hoping that they can somehow surround the Qi Lin, who's currently sunbathing and not paying them any attention.]
doingthemistything: (6)

[personal profile] doingthemistything 2012-04-02 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Kirino glances at Yuuta, then nods, inching his way around to the opposite side of the Qi Lin. The nod's something of an "I'll ask you the details in the minute" sort of nod.]
isolates: (it's nothing)

[personal profile] isolates 2012-04-02 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Yuuta nods back, then focuses on sneaking up on the Qi Lin as quietly as possible. It seems it's enjoying basking in the sun a lot because it has yet to notice that two boys are sneaking up on it.]
doingthemistything: (6)

[personal profile] doingthemistything 2012-04-02 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Once Kirino's made his way to the other side of the Qi Lin, he pauses. He looks up at Yuuta to confirm that the other boy's ready to grab it.]
isolates: (let me protect you)

[personal profile] isolates 2012-04-02 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
[When he notices the other boy looking at him, Yuuta nods again. Slowly, he raises his hand, with three fingers up indicating on the count of three.

One...

Two...

Three!]
doingthemistything: (8)

[personal profile] doingthemistything 2012-04-02 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
[On three, Kirino quickly moves to grab the Qi Lin! Here's hoping it doesn't escape--]
isolates: (if you say so)

[personal profile] isolates 2012-04-02 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
[The Qi Lin makes a distressed sound but it's not like it can go anywhere, not with Yuuta also running at it.]
doingthemistything: (‡ Nebel)

[personal profile] doingthemistything 2012-04-02 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
[And the Qi Lin is caught!] There, got it.
isolates: (I did it)

[personal profile] isolates 2012-04-02 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
Alright!

[He stops beside Kirino and beams.]

That wasn't so bad.
doingthemistything: (7)

[personal profile] doingthemistything 2012-04-02 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
Not at all. As soon as we put this one in the pen, there's three more, right?
isolates: (you can depend on me)

[personal profile] isolates 2012-04-02 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
Yep, since we need five. Let's put it away first before we get the rest.

[As he says this, he's already heading back in the direction of pens.]
doingthemistything: (8)

[personal profile] doingthemistything 2012-04-02 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Kirino follows, the struggling Qi Lin in his arms.]

So what's this place even like?
isolates: (gonna think about it)

[personal profile] isolates 2012-04-02 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
Hm. [As he walks, he puts his hands behind his head.] It's kinda like a video game, if you have those where you're from. The RPG kinds.
doingthemistything: (7)

[personal profile] doingthemistything 2012-04-02 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, I see. I didn't really play many games back home. When I did, they were mainly party games. [He chuckled slightly.] I don't... err, didn't really have the time for video games between school and soccer practice.
isolates: (this is amazing)

[personal profile] isolates 2012-04-02 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, that certainly catches his attention.]

You play soccer?

[Have a little boy grinning widely at you, Kirino.]
doingthemistything: (‡ Nebel)

[personal profile] doingthemistything 2012-04-02 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Yup! My team's close to being one of the best in the country. [There's a tiny air of pride as he says that last part, but it seems to dissipate as he reaches the pen. Well, time to put the Qi Lin in the pen!]
isolates: (seriously?)

[personal profile] isolates 2012-04-02 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
That's really cool! So you guys play in tournaments and stuff?

[Yuuta watches Kirino put the Qi Lin into the pen as he ponders about how strong his team must be.]
doingthemistything: (‡ Nebel)

[personal profile] doingthemistything 2012-04-03 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
Yup! We're in a tournament called Holy Road at the moment. [After making sure the pen's gate is secure, Kirino smiles and turns back around, dusting his hands off.] Onto the next one!
