TEST DRIVE MEME

This game is revving to go, so we're going to start things off with a pre-opening TEST DRIVE MEME. This meme will be open up until the game opens properly, so please keep checking back with it and tag anyone who posts a little later. :)

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!!

[ He was going to an Elvis impersonators meeting, or something.

But right now he is going to sigh and shake his head. ]

This isn't Professor Layton or Ace Attorney, Kumagawa-san. We can skim over a few details here and there.

[ It's also not a Medaka Kurokami original brand puzzle, but that hasn't put an end to this bullshit yet. ]

First thing's first - we're probably in the countryside since I don't have any cellphone reception.

[ Looking out the window might also have confirmed this suspicion. Who knows? ~~Hint: everyone.~~ But he's just playing along with this fake solving of a fake mystery which is actual a real one. ]

[Lonely Meeting.

Kumagawa only skips the details when it's inconvenient for him, alright. It's like he's a perfectionist, except it's completely unnecessary and he does it to frustrate himself into giving up. To that end, he huffs and sits back to slump low in his seat and look bored of this already.]

「You're incredible, Kouki-chan.」

[Was that a Minus eye roll? It was! He's ready for you to ignore his blatant sarcasm because you're Special and know it bothers him. Go on.

Do it.]

[ He gives you his best I know :Vc smile. ]

Well there'll be plenty of time for flattery later, Kumagawa-san.

[ And he might even know that it bothers you when he isn't bothered by the awful things you say.

~~True love.~~ ]

Say, did Medaka-san give us a note to explain the situation, or even give us a hint about our destination?

[ Kouki. Why must you ask questions to which you already know the answer? ]

[Cookie, honestly, you have this problem sometimes where you don't give his Minus the full reception it deserves. But maybe he appreciates that??? On some secret level he pretends not to have deep down. ~~The dere level.~~

But watch as he actually reaches into his pockets, as if there is really a list of instructions from Medaka-chan that she would actually intentionally trust solely Kumagawa with. He finds something crumpled in there and flicks it towards your dumb hair spike, pleasantly.]

「Try this.」

[It's a receipt for shitty manga.]

[ ~~Is the shitty manga Enigma, or is it ST&RS? :Va~~

Oh hey it's a piece of paper! Sweet. He picks it up off the floor, because of course you missed his hair spike, and reads it...

....and is neither surprised at Kumagawa for attempting such an obvious bluff or surprised that it isn't a note from Medaka-san. ]

How do you even find the space for all this manga?

[ That was more of a rhetorical question than anything. Your room is like a bombsite, probably.

He hands that crumpled receipt back to you, only now it's smoothed out. Because Special. ]

That receipt is a week old.

[~~Enigma is pretty damn Minus...~~

Kumagawa blinks, as if he does not understand why Kouki-chan doesn't appreciate his help??

Also, his room is very clean, okay, because he has a separate room for manga. It's right next to the room reserved for sadness.]

「Eeh? Oh.」

[He goes digging in his pockets again, and produces

one cellphone
some rubber bands
a snack pastry full of bean paste
and a sticker

before he comes up with another piece of paper that could, feasibly, be a note from Medaka.

That is, if it were not a slightly more recent receipt, probably for something like gum or otherwise irrelevant to everything else he just pulled out of the void that is his pocket.]

「My bad! Here you go.」

[ Why. Why is this happening. ]

That's another receipt, although I'm sure you're getting closer to today.

[ Your not. Akune gives you another Special smile. He has those to spare. ]

Perhaps I should look around the train. Maybe that'll give you enough time to find those instructions.

[ Your fatal flaw was in not just saying there was no note. ]

[Minus-kun to Cookie-chan: beautiful train ride edition.

Kumagawa acts as though he is not annoyed, even though he obviously is. Why is he even annoyed, he started this-- Akune, can't you just play along better?

He's going to eat this little snack he has instead of, say, giving a shit. He'll be crinkling the wrapper obnoxiously, now.]

「Maybe you should have done that sooner.」

[ Man. You are such a Minus. ]

I was too caught up in your rhythm.

[ By which he means he was enjoying(???) playing along with your shitty fake mystery game. ]

Besides - that's an odd thing for you to say, since you were already awake.

[ Remember that time Kouki was rude to you? That's this time. ]

[True.

Kumagawa takes a moment to Minusly enjoy his snack.]

「I don't really care, Kouki-chan. About the train, I mean.」

[He finishes off his dumb snack, wipes his hands all over himself, and makes one last passive-aggressive forage into his pockets. From which he produces some insulting nonsense and casually hands it over.

t/n: fussy
(i apologize to the japanese language)

Why did he have this prepared beforehand is something we should just not ask.]

[ Oh my god. This art is worse than early Reborn. Jesus, Kumagawa. Did you even try?

Akune slips the drawing into his pocket. Just because. ]

Don't get worked up. [ Oops too late. ] You should get worked up about us being in a strange place with no knowledge of where we're going.

[Because it's a token of Kumagawa's terrible Minus affections, is why. You can keep it, he ~~has more~~ doesn't mind.]

「That makes it sound scary.」

「I'd rather just wait and see.」

[ Akune doesn't want to wait and see. He wants to know why you guys are even on this train, and where it is going.

But, when you think about it, there's isn't really much chance of getting off a speeding train without a scratch when you're not Minus or Abnormal. So... ]

It's not scary. The train will stop eventually, and then we can go back to Hakoniwa Academy.

[ A muggle might have thought it weird that he didn't say "Then we can go back home."

It's a StuCo thing. ]

[What is "home"? Is that the Special word for "big empty house full of nothing"?]

「So you're saying we should wait and see.」

[ It's Akune's word for something Nisio Isin hasn't given him yet. ]

W-well...

[ Yes. That is the upshot of what he is saying. ]

We're going to see, whether we wait or not. That much is true.

[I thought that was "any backstory besides 38."

Did... Did Kumagawa just get a point? Minus-kun takes home the gold.]

「It's okay, Kouki-chan. I won't tell anyone about your inexperience.」

[With... train logic? Talking about things that aren't really things, again.]

[ It is a word with 12858051967633865 synonyms.

Also good God the things you are saying are so not things which are things. ]

I don't want to be called inexperienced by you, Kumagawa-san. Besides, at least I don't think we should just sit around waiting.

[

]

[Bloo bloo are you upset Cookie-chan don't make that face.

Kumagawa gives him that look, the one from middle school he used whenever Destroyer-kun said something kind of dumb but in an endearing way, like, "if the Student Council President says so, it must be true."]

「Kouki-chan.」

「We're on a train. Sitting and waiting is the point.」

[God don't make him get up uuugh.]

[ Oh is that an actual Middle School reference? Good show. ]

That's the point when you're on a train by choice, certainly.

[ Sign... ]

Let's hope the rest of the journey doesn't take too long.

[ Is what he says as he decides to not wander around. Who knows what kind of trouble you'll get into if you don't have Special supervision. ]

[Yeah, I thought it was appropriate.]

「If you're too restless, we could play a game.」

[Because Kumagawa is never the restless one, ever. He has never been restless in his entire life. Guess what shitty pocket games (with pieces missing, Minus life) he has ...in his pockets.]

[ As long as one of those games doesn't happen to be Bloody Seven then it can't be that bad, can it? ]

What kind of game?

[ Not that he's too restless. That's childish and something that you do.

He's the fussy one, remember? ]

[He is a bit fussy.

Anyway, Kumagawa likes to spend most of his money on mangas and porn (both, sometimes), so his remaining funds are always Just Not Enough for something actually useful to own.

But he has to buy something anyway, because he's incapable of savings. What I'm saying is he holds up a finger to make restless-kun wait, then produces some shitty fishing game, still in the box.

He must have hit up the cheap bullshit store before blacking out to get on this train, okay? He probably has the receipt, if Akune wants it.]

「This kind.」

[ Remember when he spent all his money on porn but cries when girls touch him?

Anyway, Akune was honestly expecting something a bit more Mind Game like. Excuse his mild surprise, but he'll take some shitty fishing game over that.

Also no he doesn't want the receipt. Keep it in case a conductor comes to check tickets. ]

Why do you have that game with you?

[Wow, don't make fun of him? Rude.

And come on, what kind of mind games he is supposed to fit in his pockets? Those are more expensive. He is on a budget here.

Akune, you can't just ask people why they carry weird games around!!]

「...」

「I thought it would make you happy?」 [This might actually have some sincerity, except it's not an overly complex card game designed by some dude in a funny robe, so then again, maybe not. Do with it what you will, you're playing fishing with him.]

「Which color fishing rod do you want?」

Oh...

[ That's almost kind of sweet actually. If there's any truth in it, that is. ]

The colour of the fishing rod doesn't reely matter. [ He smiles. ] I'll take the green one.

[ As if that was really a question that wasn't already answered. ]

Here is that sweet goodnight note I promised you, baka. I hope your class wasn't terrible!

vycey you are so kawaii :V

And then you ran off to bed as soon as I got online...

Thread Menace.

akune's chestless shirt brand

Jesus. I laughed.

8^y

Akune actually chooses to dress like that to be like the girl he loves. What is his life.

i guess that's why we had to be reminded, twice, that he is actually a man

And yet no one has reminded the readers of Kumagawa's age.

you mean 12?

No - I mean the appropriate senpai age for the rest of Class -13. Also good naito.

you mean 12.

Minus 12 maybe.

what if that were a real class

What if there was more than 5 Minus?
