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.)

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.]

[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!
isolates: (just a simple boy)

[personal profile] isolates 2012-04-03 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
[He's never heard of a tournament with that name before but it sounds like Serious Business.]

Okay!

[And off he goes. But after a couple steps he speaks again.]

You know, I was thinking of joining the soccer team too, when I get into middle school.
doingthemistything: (7)

[personal profile] doingthemistything 2012-04-03 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
[No recognition at the "Holy Road"? Huh.]

Yeah? It's a lot of fun. ["At least, when Fifth Sector isn't involved," is what Kirino wants to add, but doesn't.

He glances around, noting a High Wolf off in the distance.]
Ah!
isolates: (huh)

[personal profile] isolates 2012-04-03 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Yuuta stops walking when he hears Kirino saying something in surprise. He looks around.]

Did you see something?
doingthemistything: (6)

[personal profile] doingthemistything 2012-04-03 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, over there. [He points in the High Wolf's direction, already starting to quickly and quietly make his way over.]
isolates: (if you say so)

[personal profile] isolates 2012-04-03 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[He spots the High Wolf in the direction Kirino pointed to and wastes no time following after.]
doingthemistything: (5)

[personal profile] doingthemistything 2012-04-03 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Once Kirino gets close enough, he lunges for the High Wolf...!

... And misses. Well, grass isn't the most pleasant thing to taste. The High Wolf stares at Kirino for a moment, looking somewhat confused.]

... ow.
isolates: (you--!)

[personal profile] isolates 2012-04-03 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Yuuta winces in second hand pain when he sees Kirino go into the ground instead but immediately, he takes the chance to rush at the High Wolf while it's still confused. He hopes that Kirino understands his lack of concern for the time being.]
doingthemistything: (6)

[personal profile] doingthemistything 2012-04-03 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Kirino pushed himself up, looking over at the High Wolf, then to Yuuta.

The High Wolf itself doesn't seem to register Yuuta running at him until it's too late.]
isolates: (in shock)

[personal profile] isolates 2012-04-03 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
[And just like that, Yuuta has his arms full with their third Lucky Animal.]

Yes!

[Now that that was out of the way, the boy looks over at Kirino.

Are you okay?
doingthemistything: (7)

[personal profile] doingthemistything 2012-04-03 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
Yup! I've experienced worse. [Kirino chuckles, then dusts himself off.]
isolates: (but if it was like this...)

[personal profile] isolates 2012-04-03 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
[He walks over, still holding onto the High Wolf tightly.]

Worse? Well, it's good that you're okay then.
doingthemistything: (7)

[personal profile] doingthemistything 2012-04-03 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
Trust me, when you play a sport, worse things can and will happen. [He smiles sheepishly.] Let's put that one into the pen.
isolates: (what the hell)

[personal profile] isolates 2012-04-03 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
[He makes a face at that. Well, he's kinda glad fifth grade soccer hasn't gotten to that point then.]

Alright. This one has more fight in it than the others too.

[Don't mind him as he leads the way way to the pens then while trying to keep control of the struggling High Wolf.]
doingthemistything: (6)

[personal profile] doingthemistything 2012-04-03 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Kirino runs along ahead, ready to open the pen when Yuuta makes his way over.]
isolates: (this is the worst)

[personal profile] isolates 2012-04-03 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Only the struggling High Wolf gets the better of him just as he approaches the pen and it's wriggling finally succeeds in making him drop it.]

Agh!
doingthemistything: (2)

[personal profile] doingthemistything 2012-04-03 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Kirino lunges for the High Wolf again, hopefully this time not missing--]
