TEST DRIVE MEME

> The Park. Man, what a nice day out. Why not enjoy it? I'm sure -- shit, yep, there's some echo monsters.
> The Mall. Exactly what it says on the tin! Dodge the hordes of teenage mallrats or take part, whichever suits your tastes.
> Rainy Day. Agh, it's fucking awful out. And is it raining those vermilion things?? Now you've got an Echo to contend with on top of everything else. Find some shelter, quick!
> PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, HOW FUN
> The most horribly kitschy Arts and Crafts Fair you can imagine.
> Wild Card! Make up your own.

There you are!

[Was it really necessary to be that loud, Akito? Apparently, because he is now making a show of putting his hand on her shoulder and steering her towards the food court.]

I told you to wait for me, didn't I? Geeze, I wasn't even in there for very long.

[A sigh.]

--Anyway, c'mon, let's grab some food before it's time to go.

[Is he totally bullshitting all of this? Yes, he is totally bullshitting all of this. But at least they're making progress through the crowd this way?]

[stop_hamerutime]

[Man it's a good thing we decided they're related or Homura would probably be hyperventilating on top of everything else.]

Uh...right! Sorry.

[She glues her eyes to the floor in embarrassment and lets herself be dragged along, playing the dumb younger cousin extremely accurately.]

[dyingtohealyou]

[He waits until he's successfully hauled her to the food court before he lets go, even though it's it's... still pretty darn crowded, really. But hey, at least everyone's occupied with their own discussions here.]

So what was that all about? You okay?

[Maybe he's being paranoid. But she's a part of the club too, and it's hard for him not to worry about his younger cousin getting caught up in all of this.]

[stop_hamerutime]

[She pauses, still looking down. At least if she was quiet people in a crowd like this wouldn't all stare at her.]

...I think I remembered something? Or maybe I just spaced out. Everyone just looked frozen for a second...

[dyingtohealyou]

Frozen... Like how?

[stop_hamerutime]

Well...everyone stopped. Just stuck where they were, like I was looking at a picture.

That's weird, right?

[dyingtohealyou]

Definitely pretty weird, yeah.

[But then again, you've got a cousin who can heal people by staring at them, so weirdness is kind of relative here.]

...Can you make it happen again?
