TEST DRIVE MEME

[caelestis]

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!!

Even without the fire, it won't be complete without marshmallows.

[bystander]

Then maybe we'll need something like a campfire after all. I'd like to make s'mores. Bottles of water too, since those would make us thirsty.

[reveiller]

[ he thinks on this. ]

That's an awful lot of preparation. Do you think you'll have enough stories to make up for it?

[bystander]

If I start to think, I think a lot. [There's a small smile.] Stopping that process is kind of hard.

[reveiller]

[ ... kind of hard, huh. ]

It's not the same, but... [ headtilt. ] when that happens to me, I watch the stars.

[bystander]

As a distraction of some sort? [Ryouku looks over at Fuji with a bit more of an interest than before.]

[reveiller]

Something like that. The stars tell their own stories.

Thinking about it that way, it makes my own seem a little less significant, doesn't it?

[bystander]

Only you can measure their significance and value. It doesn't really have to do anything with other people because it's not, right?

[reveiller]

I guess not. [ he laces his fingers, and places them on his lap. ] But in the face of a universe as bright and as vivid as that... even my run-on thoughts stop. I forget why I was worried in the first place.

[ rueful. ] It's a bit silly, isn't it?

[bystander]

No, sometimes that's a good thing. [He sighs as if he's relating to that all in his head.] It's a very good thing. You can even see it as a coping mechanism.

[reveiller]

It's something that we all need in some shape or form, I think.

[bystander]

That's right. It's how we get brought back to our sane lives so that we can talk like this.

[reveiller]

[ he studies his fellow hitchhiker. ]

So that we can talk about s'mores, campfires and stars.

That's true enough.

[bystander]

Hmm. I think it's better than sitting here by myself and sleeping. Wouldn't you say that this is a bit more entertaining?

[reveiller]

And it's better than having my face drawn on. [ wryly. he smiles. ] I'm having fun.

[bystander]

Ah, that? [He laughs a bit.] Don't worry. It wasn't going to be anything too bad.

[reveiller]

Now I'm kind of morbidly curious. Should I feign sleep just to see what you'll do?

[bystander]

You can, but that wouldn't be as fun, would it? There's more to drawing on somebody's face than just having things on their face. it's more of a sense of accomplishment that you were able to do it without being noticed.

[reveiller]

[ thinks on this for a moment. then-- ] Well, it's true that different people get different things from the same activity.

Could I draw on yours?

[bystander]

No.

[he says that with a smile.] I don't think I will let you either.

[reveiller]

I could be insulted. I'm very good at calligraphy, you know.

[bystander]

But are you?

[reveiller]

[ hopefully-- ] If you hand over that sharpie, I can show you if I am.

[bystander]

I'd rather not find out that way to know if you were insulted.

[So no sharpie for you, bro.]

[reveiller]

[ so unreasonable, ryouku-bro :c ]

But what better way to find out?
