TEST DRIVE MEME 2.0

[caelestis]

Vroom, vroom!

Back due to popular demand, for players new and old, here is the percaligovideo Test Drive Meme version 2.0! It'll work exactly as it did last time - feel free to start a thread for a character you're planning on apping into the game, and other potential appers and current players alike will tag you and help you get that coveted first person sample!


TO START US OFF....

A. The mundane!

1) > You have discovered a portal to the meat dimension. Congratulations, you're at Chinese Diner Aiya! The rainy day challenge sure is difficult... But maybe this time you can make it.

2) > Every day's great at your Junes! You've run into each other at Junes! Maybe you're buying a Jack Frost Doll, or a magic set. Or maybe you're just getting groceries.

3) > Off to school you go. Class, quizzes, creepy teachers, clubs, and Social Linking ahoy!

4) > So you need some money to buy that Rise doll you saw at Junes, why not get a job? Frustrating co-workers, meeting people you may or may not recognize as customers. Get ready for the usual "I didn't know you worked here!" talk, because it's coming your way.

B. The extraordinary!

1) > You wake up on a mysterious train, and so has the person right next to you. You have no idea what train this is, where it's headed, or how you came to be there, and it seems like neither does your new friend. Why not chat about it?

2) > Your first venture inside the TV World. How does it go? How do you get there? And most importantly, who are you going with?

3) > There are three enemies! But holy shit this is your first fight, how are you going to handle this? Good thing you've got party members to help you out!

THERE ARE UNLIMITED SCENARIO POSSIBILITIES... If you have any other in mind that you want to play out, please go ahead and do so.

Please keep in mind that since this meme is set in the world of Caligo, you may use your threads here as the Caligo-specific samples needed in the app. And most importantly, have fun!!

[sandanzuki]

Heisuke! [He's calling out from the women's clothing department, not that he's got much reason to be there. He was passing through, but stopped when he saw a rack of these hanging.]

[...]

[...]

[What does it do? Well, he's carrying one in Heisuke's direction.] See if this fits.

[hokushin]

[Heisuke, on the other hand, was once again trying to figure out the mystery that is men's dress shirts. More specifically, why they come in multiple colors and sleeve lengths. Which one is he supposed to wear? Why can't he wear comfortable clothing?]

[He comes running when Okita calls, much to the alarm of a middle aged woman shopping at the next rack over.]

[And just. Stares.]

What is it?

[He takes it from Okita and holds it out in front of his face, poking at the inside of one of the cups. The middle aged woman looks utterly horrified.]

[sandanzuki]

[He tilts his head to the side slightly, bringing a hand to his chin to think about this. His eyes dart to the side and it doesn't take much for Okita to put two and two together. Women's department, lady with a horrified expression (and it's not because he's wearing a Shinsengumi haori, which is the only time he remembers seeing that look). Shape and size...]

[Clearly, they are related to breasts. But telling Heisuke that would be no fun, so instead.]

Something to protect your ears from the cold, maybe?

[hokushin]

[Yeah, this isn't going to end with them getting kicked out of the store at all. Heisuke doesn't even notice the disgusted onlooker.]

Seems really complicated for that...

[Not that that'll stop him from trying it on. He tries putting the cups on top of his head first, makes a disgruntled noise when they don't reach his ears, then tries it under his chin. They reach his ears this time, but the straps don't connect over his head in any obvious way.]

Hey, help me fasten this thing, would you?

[sandanzuki]

What else would it be, then?

[He says it as a challenge; he really doesn't expect Heisuke to figure out what it is. Okita only barely gets it -- he's not really sure how it works, only that boobs clearly could fit in them. It looks uncomfortable, if that's what it is.]

Right, right. [He stands behind Heisuke, looking at the clasp on the bra. NOPE.JPG. Buttons were annoying. Zippers very quickly were uncomfortable. Shoelaces were a pain in the ass. But this? Teeny tiny clasps? His callused hands can't grip that, so instead, he ties the open back of the bra in a knot, snug against his head.]

icon more relevant to the story in the action tags

[hokushin]

[Heisuke shrugs.]

Hell if I know, are you sure it's even clothing?

[Heisuke would agree with you on the zippers thing, Okita. He's not sure what sadist decided they should be placed right over a man's most sensitive bits, but it had only taken one incident with that problem before he went back to sensible, non-manhood-assaulting fasteners.]

Why are there strings hanging down from the sides?

[He's peering up through his bangs at the straps of the bra, which are hanging down in front of his face just a bit.]

i still can't breathe

[sandanzuki]

[The unfortunate truth is that all of these modern pants are entirely too tight. So constricting. There's a difference between support and being strangled by fabric. It seems like letting them hang free was destroyed alongside the pride of a warrior.]

[Well, they do go hand in hand.]

It's not very practical, it is. Though it's probably easier to pull them off your ears that way. [He tilts his head slightly, moving to stand in front of Heisuke again. The woman is now huffing, storming away and muttering something about respect.]

[If Hijikata was here, they'd probably both be getting dragged away and forced to commit seppuku right now.] Ah, well. It was worth a try, wasn't it?

[hokushin]

[Men's pants are weapons used only against their wearers and women are just naked. What has the world become.]

But why do they have to be little dishes? It's like having a cup over my ears! Wait. Maybe I have it on inside out?

[He attempts to switch the direction of the cups, which of course, catches the little hooks in his hair. Heisuke yelps.]

Shit!

[Well, if anyone wasn't staring already, they are now, because Heisuke is dramatically trying to untangle his hair from the bra that he has tied around his head.]

[sandanzuki]

[This is the sick, sad, and shameful result of the Imperial Army winning. And some other wars and shit, but none of that is really important in Okita's eyes.]

[Though really, that's not as important as dealing with the kid who has a bra stuck in his hair.]

Stay still. [He gives his head a shake, moving to untie the knot. It doesn't really help the clasps being stuck, tangling in the strands of hair. Well, there's one was to fix this problem.]

[Which is Okita just pulling the bra away from Heisuke's head by one of the straps. Problem solved!]

[hokushin]

[Heisuke howls in protest, because ow, Okita, that's his hair you're pulling!]

Don't rip my hair out!!

[He rubs the top of his head with the grimace.]

Why the hell does it have evil little hooks on it?!

[He grabs the bra back from Okita, back to holding it up to his face and shaking it slightly. You have made yourself a powerful enemy today, holder of breasts!]

[sandanzuki]

To keep it closed, obviously. [Duh, Heisuke. Even Okita knows that much.]

But really, if you're going to complain about that, I have to wonder how you managed to deal with stab wounds. A few strands of hair can't hurt more than that.

[hokushin]

[Heisuke is quite obviously confused by this.]

What? Then why did you tie it?

[His cheeks go a little bit red, because yeah, whining at hair pulling really isn't terribly manly but still. That hurt, dammit.]

Shut up! Why don't you try it on, then?!

[sandanzuki]

My hair keeps my ears warm enough! It'd be a waste. [He shrugs, flippantly.] Hooks are even more difficult than buttons. Chizuru-chan is probably the only one of us with hands small enough to be that precise.

[hokushin]

[Heisuke still is not realizing that the reason Okita is doing this is purely trolling. He just thinks he's trying to protect his hair from the same fate.]

Then... Is this a ear warmer for women?

[He makes a face at it.]

[sandanzuki]

Hmmm~ Maybe the shopkeep can help you answer that.

[hokushin]

[GOD NO DON'T MAKE HIM ASK THE SHOPKEEPER THIS IS RIDICULOUS ENOUGH--]

I guess we could ask...

[sandanzuki]

It'd be better than not knowing, wouldn't it?

[hokushin]

[Heisuke hesitates, then glances around.]

Let's find someone, then!

[sandanzuki]

After you. You're the one who wants to know, right?

[hokushin]

[Heisuke pauses at this point, actually realizing that... something is up.]

Wait. You're the one who wanted me to try the stupid thing on...

[sandanzuki]

So?

[How is this relevant?]

[hokushin]

[Heisuke eyes his friend suspiciously.]

Where did you find this?

[sandanzuki]

On that rack. [He points to the section that has all the bras just a feet feet away.]

1/3

[hokushin]

[Heisuke examines the women's lingerie section for a long moment, and then notices one of the tags for a different brand of bra. Oh, there's a picture of a lady on it, it must be for women after all--]

2/3

[hokushin]

[OH GOD IT'S FOR HER BOOBS!!]
