TEST DRIVE MEME: Good weather?

[theearth]

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.

[Joshua glances over at her, his mouth stuffed full of Laffy Taffy.]

Muh?

[Wait, hold on. Probably easier to hold a conversation if he finishes chewing and swallows.]

Sorry. Like what?

[soul_sister]

[The way her back stiffens suddenly might be a pretty good call to the fact she- ridiculously, perhaps -didn't expect to have that particular bluff called. The poolside was almost empty save for the last few hopeful stragglers like themselves.]

Like... well...

[soul_sister]

[She recovers quickly, rallying.] We're going to be wet anyway, right? We'll push forward with defiance against the rain. AND we'll have the pool to ours-

[soul_sister]

[A thunderclap cracks above them, rolling heavily through several heavy echoes.] Oh! Get real! Seriously?!

[sinningsaint]

[He bursts out laughing.] Maybe that's God's way of saying "GO HOME!" Even though I really don't want to give up on it yet...

[soul_sister]

Maybe it's a test of faith... or something. [Or she's just as stubborn. She waves a hand in the air.] Oh well, here's fine anyway. If I'm going to get wet, it's not going to be walking home.

[sinningsaint]

[with a shake of his head] You're not just going to sit here, are you? You're just going to get bored and restless.

[soul_sister]

[She had picked up the taffy wrapper and folding the crinkly paper between her fingers as she scowls up at the grey skies, that is, before she turns a comically ruffled look back to JC.] What? Hey! You don't have to say that like it's the only possible conclusion!

[sinningsaint]

Unless the rain suddenly clears up, that's how it's going to be! I know you!

You'll sit here patiently for 5 or 10 minutes, then suddenly jump up from the table and scream...

[sinningsaint]

[In a high-pitched, screechy voice] "I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!"

[sinningsaint]

Then you'll run and jump into the pool, but it'll thunder again, so you'll scramble back out with a hilariously girly scream. And I'll laugh my ass off and you'll punch me.

[soul_sister]

[Her face turns three shades of red in impressively quick order.] That's not... I wouldn't...!

[soul_sister]

[No. She gathers herself and focuses on what's truly important here. She grabs a firm hold of his ear and pulls down!]

I do not sound like that! Take it back!
