TEST DRIVE MEME

You want to join the game with a (new) character? Maybe you’re simply curious about the premise? Or maybe you just need a sample. Well that’s the meme for you to try and test your character as if they were already in the tower! The meme is open to anyone!

• Reply to this entry with a character you consider apping! Put your character’s name and fandom- Your usual meme thing.
• Comment around with your pups. You can also post and tag with characters already in-game of course!
• Most importantly, have fun!!
• Then feel free to go and reserve and app your character when those open.

Have a number of prompts to get you started:

[Floor 29]: This floor has seemed pretty peaceful so far, the maze isn't all that hard and the garden that lies beyond it is rather lovely. Still it seems best to head back now that the sun is about to set and nighttime is approaching fast. ...Is that just the leaves rustling in the wind behind you, or is it something more?

[Floor 56]: Oh this looks definitely like an useful floor - the room stretches into a hospital ward, dusty and old, a surgical suite surrounded by a maze of empty beds. The closer you look, the more you'll find that the first impression is quite deceiving - no medical supplies of any sort, unstable lights and what was that noise just now?! Clearly you are the only one on this floor. Or are you?

[Floor 25]: After all you have seen so far, this just might be the first truly innocent floor you see. But is it truly as trustworthy as it seems...? Many other people seem to think so at least! Come and see what they are up to?

[Elevators]: It's quite a long ride between the Dormitories and the Cafeteria - it probably doesn't help that the minutes and seconds seem to stretch out more and more towards eternity, what a hassle. Are well, maybe there is someone stuck with you and up to provide conversation... or entertainment~

[Anywhere]: Do you still have track of just where you are after spending your day exploring the Tower of Animus? If not, you might want to ask someone... or just start climbing the stairs regardless of where you are! Nighttime is approaching fast...

[Event]: Just earlier this day you have been called for (and/or brought in to) an unscheduled collar check-up, in which the color of your collar was changed. It takes a few hours, but soon you feel the effects of it, feel lightheaded and dizzy, feel all your power slip out of your control. Or maybe you heavy to the point of breaking down on the spot, while just none of your powers seem to work. Either way... hopefully you are at a safe place or in friendly company... That is, if either of these things exist in this tower.

No. As far as I can tell, YHWH's still dead. Because, our worlds really have been destroyed.

[mamahero]

I know He's dead, we killed Him. But I would be surprised if He had more tricks up His- [Wait.]

... What?

[alephbet]

All the people here, their worlds have been destroyed and they are the sole survivor. Even you and I come from different versions of the same world - I've been here for a year now.

[mamahero]

A... year? But that's- [But Aleph wouldn't say something like this unless he was serious. So Hiroko reaches up to rub her forehead.]

... What happened back in your... 'world', then?

[alephbet]

We don't know for sure, but there's supposedly some kind of virus that destroys worlds. People from the tower sometimes go back and report that everything is gone on their worlds, and it's true.

I... I worried that I'd never see you again.

[He needs a hug but he's trying not to show it.]

[mamahero]

... How awful... [Hiroko can tell though, so he's getting a hug.]

I'm a stubborn girl, Aleph. You would have seen me sooner or later, and someone needs to keep an eye on you.

[alephbet]

[He hugs her back now that he's been seen through.]

Thank you...

[mamahero]

[Backpat, backpat.]

... How have things been for you here?

[alephbet]

Could be worse. I, um, I have... a girlfriend.

[mamahero]

[Wait a sec-

Hiroko pulls away from the hug a bit to blink at him.] Really? When did that happen? Who is she?

[Mama wants to know, Aleph.]

[alephbet]

Well, her name's April. We've been dating for some months now, and she's the most wonderful girl - you'll love her.

[mamahero]

[Hiroko grins happily. Aaaaah, her son is growing up~]

I'm sure I will, so you have to introduce me to her as soon as you can. Sooo, what is she like?

[Sorry Aleph, she's just gonna bug you for details.]

[alephbet]

She's a leader on her own world, and she's really upbeat and kind to people, and she's strong and kicks as much butt as I do.

[mamahero]

She does certainly sound like an amazing person! And who asked who out?

[alephbet]

I asked her out.

[mamahero]

Where did you ask her? How did it go?

[That moment when your mom wants to know all your dating details.]

[alephbet]

...This is a little embarrassing...

[mamahero]

Come on, Aleph, you can tell me!

[So she can tease you about it.]

[alephbet]

Why are you so insistent about it?

[mamahero]

My friend and son is dating, and I wasn't here for the start of it! Of course I want to know about it.

[alephbet]

Are all mothers like that...?

[mamahero]

Pretty much. We want to know all the details so that we can give you advice about it.

[alephbet]

I can't say I don't need advice.
