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.

[wrigurun]

For the monsters and stuff?

[Wriggle really hopes there isn't another reason]

[axeforasong]

[...Mayu just shrugs]

Is good idea to carry axe? Could lose it otherwise...

[wrigurun]

So you carry it everywhere?

That's kinda creepy...

[axeforasong]

Not everywhere, everywhere would be silly, yes?

[it's not she sleeps with it or anything...]

Is just useful!

[wrigurun]

[Well it's not like Wriggle goes anywhere without her spellcards if she can help it]

I guess... Especially here.

Are you new or do I just not remember your face?

[axeforasong]

Ah, new! Mayu! [she holds her free hand out; shake?]

How do you float?

[wrigurun]

[Wriggle eyes her hand for a moment before stretching out her arm to shake. She keeps as far away as possible though and immediately retreats once they're done]

My name's Wriggle Nightbug and I'm a firefly. It's in my nature.

[axeforasong]

[Mayu makes no aggressive moves! (twirling her axe seems to be more of a subconscious tick than anything else)

Though a firefly? That earns an awed gasp!]

Firefly?! Thought firefly were tiny insects that caught fire!

[wrigurun]

They don't catch fire!

But they are insects. I guess since I'm a firefly youkai I'm a little different.

[axeforasong]

Ahaha! A firefly and a Youkai! I don't think I've met either! [THIS IS GREAT]

[wrigurun]

[Despite her initial hesitation she can't help but feel a small burst of pride]

Ah... W-well now you have! Of course it's only natural for humans to be impressed.

[axeforasong]

It is? Great!

[but how will react when she finds this is how Mayu has been reacting to everything...]

[wrigurun]

Y-Yeah! So you better think twice if you were going to attack me!

[axeforasong]

...Why would I attack you though?

[wrigurun]

You were swinging that axe around I thought you were looking for a fight!

[axeforasong]

[oh now she just folds her arms (still holding the axe)]

Looking for fight is silly!

[wrigurun]

Oh yeah? Tell that to guys in charge here.

Actually those guys are cowards, they always hide behind screens and drug you so you can't fight back. I bet they wouldn't last five minutes in a real fight.

[axeforasong]

Is probably why they don't fight real fights then, yes?

[wrigurun]

Yeah but then they act all big and tough and I don't like it!

[axeforasong]

Hmm... not quite same thing, but I know how that feels, yes?

[wrigurun]

Haha! I'm glad someone does.

You're not half bad though, so what's your deal are you human or what?

[axeforasong]

Human. [mildly amused] Think might have been something else?
