saveyourbrain | TEST DRIVE MEME: Good weather?

IT'S SPRING
I almost literally can't believe it isn't snowing right now just to piss me off.

How it Works
Due to the nature of Save the Earth, it's a more complicated process to play in than most other games. With this in mind, it can't hurt to experiment a little.

Post your character and in the comment share a few details regarding their reincarnation. Repeat if you have multiple ideas you want to try out, as many as you like. It's also suggested that you set a scene and there's a few prompts below to help there, but think outside the box if you like. Then tag around to other threads and help your fellow prospective players to test out their characters and the variations on them. Don't be afraid to presume a little CR to make a scene flow more freely, or to assume an Echo or two. If you have an app, complete or in progress, you might want to link it.

Current players may also use these meme to test out specific future Echoes, or as a general meme. Certain scenarios may even be transferred to game canon if both parties agree and it does not conflict with in game events.

Prompt 1: Location

The Park
The sun has got his hat on, hip hip hip whatever go to the park.
Ice Cream Parlour
Don't lie, this is the first place you want to go the moment the sun even half appears.
The Pool
That, or here.
At Home
Because naturally when it's a nice day you want to cower inside.
Barbecue Party
Abandoning all paranoia, everyone has turned up at a barbecue. It's the wildest party imaginable.
Beach
Apparently Locke City has one. I bet it's nice.
Country Hike
All that nature out there can be visited too.
The Street
Oh man, this is the worst location prompt ever. I apologise.

Prompt 2: Event
Suddenly, Rain
And here's you in just a white shirt and short shorts.
A Public Echo
One of those places up there triggers an inexplicable Echo. Are you going to have to grab a hat to hide those new horns? Maybe it's even your first.
A Date
I hear nice weather gets people in the mood for romance. I'm against it, personally.
Here on Business
Mysterious goings on have been detected in the area and it's your job to check them out. Some suggested shenanigans could include plants that try to eat people, a red herring new statue or maybe this thing popping out from behind a bush to play a saxophone in an irritating manner. Go nuts.
Getting Used to a New Echo
Maybe this one is a pain in the butt, either if because it's noticeable or hard to control. Or maybe you just like to practice.
Everything is Normal
Things aren't bizarre 24/7, you know.
Alien Invasion
The Martians* are attacking! They want our brains/world/women/hot dogs. Take these freaks out... or cower in terror.

*Martians are not actual Save the Earth villains.

[Shawn Minamoto, eighteen-year-old eccentric and jerk, is going to ALL THE LOCATIONS. He attends every one of his classes and wanders the Locke High halls with a deeply self-pleased grin on his face. He passes through the Dead District, takes a quick stop by a junkyard and leaves with a few metal struts poking of his backpack. He drops by the ice cream shop for a snack and makes his way around the park - and he pops into his dad's ramen shop somewhere in his stroll, but tries to keep out of sight.

More than anything, greatly amused, he's putting his new catlike yellow eyes on parade - and trying to put off going home for the day and facing his dad suggesting that there's probably something that should be done about them as long as possible.]

[what the -- those aren't contacts]

Hey, dumbass, you might wanna hide those.

Heh. Come again?

[Neither surprised nor fazed. In any apparent way, at least.]

The eyes.

[She lowers her own aviator shades. Check THOSE red peepers out. they GLOW]

Anybody notices those are real, might start asking awkward questions. You DO know they murdered a kid 'cause of this stuff, right?

... even if okay they're rad as hell, but the point is...

[He sure is checking out said glowing red peepers.]

No shit, they are, and yours ain't too lame, themselves! 'S exactly why I ain't hiding them!

That's a negative - no one told me 'bout any murders. What, are badass eyes the ticket into the Super Secret Club or some garbage now?

[Shiro is pretty damn happy he can get good ramen here. The ramen house owned by that Minamoto guy sold top-notch stuff, almost as good as the stuff he'd had when they went to visit his grandparents in Japan. And yeah, he was a chef-in-training, but who doesn't like someone else to cook for them every once in a while?

So the young albino man with blue-red eyes behind glasses sits at the counter, his wide-brimmed hat on the chair next to him, and a huge bowl of tonkotsu ramen in front of him, covered in shallots and veggies and egg and fish cake. He basically just got everything in the kitchen dumped into the bowl. Maybe some comfort food would help to abate the hunger that just wouldn't seem to go away!]

Ha! itadakimasu, man. [he snaps his chopsticks and GOES TO TOWN YEAH]

[Shawn has developed a special sense for knowing for certain when Pop doesn't quite have any attention to fall on him. He's probably in the kitchen now, right in the middle of another preparation and in the usual kitchen sort of noise. On that judgment, he takes off the figurative safety and edges out of the corner.]

Man, would you look at THAT heap?

[By now he really would have seen evidence of the appetites of some of the people who swing by here, but there is a special tickling incongruity on seeing this pale dude with his wide had and glasses going oh so wildly at an enormous bowl of tonkotsu ramen garnished with the contents of the entirety of an Asian grocery.]

Hey, you!

What percentage of your weight in food do you gotta eat in a day?

Edited (Was picky there.) 2013-05-04 06:34 (UTC)

[Indeed, the chef is in the back, and Shiro is slurping his everything-but-the-kitchen-sink ramen with gusto. If you don't get noodle broth all over your face, you're not doing it right. It's why they make napkins.

Then someone addresses him and he looks up over his glasses, blinking those naturally weird eyes of his and taking in... well, a guy with equally weird eyes. Were those contacts? Surely they must be! He slurps up the noodles that were caught on his chopsticks halfway between his belly and the bowl, then sets them across the bowl]

Ha! You know, lots. Especially lately. I can't seem to ever satisfy myself for long. [he laughs] But I'm not gainin' any weight either, so it doesn't matter, right?

TEST DRIVE MEME: Good weather?

omg

Is this an acceptable thing to do?

i love sho ;_; used to play him; then i dropped my math minor and braining him became much harder :\

I went through something similar with him, but good god is he fun to play whenever it works!

OMG SHO.

SCREAMS PI ...And 'lo to you, too, Shirosaki!
