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.

Genevieve was a bit surprised by the woman's sudden appearance and she pushed back her hair to get a better look. Her actual appearance was a bit odd, to say the least, but not necessarily too odd. Although her accent made her smile a little. It reminded her of her mom, really (where else did her Genevieve's own fiery locks come from?).

"I probably look as miserable as I feel," She laughed softly, walking over to the other woman. "Can you show me? I can't seem to see it."

"Rain on such a lovely day! There's worse things t'be sure, but it's one of life's little miseries." Smugly semi-dry under her hat, Elaine beamed. "'Course you haven't, I saw it on the way in. Come now."

"Elaine Kendall."
rhapsoidein: (I want to)

"I feel like I'm one of life's little miseries these days," She muttered, following along now. She blinked at the name before realizing the woman was introducing herself. "O-Oh! I'm Genevieve Rapson."
satisfactionbroughtback: (All those stories)

[personal profile] satisfactionbroughtback 2013-05-24 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
"What a pretty name!" Despite the roundness of her face, it seemed Elaine wasn't particularly young. "And what makes a personage such's yourself so unhappy of late, besides the weather?" She led the way with confidence.
rhapsoidein: (And if it happens again)

Genevieve stayed silent for a little bit, trying to figure out how to say what she felt. Elaine was a stranger though, why should she burden her with something as insignificant as her worries? She sighed with a shrug. "I don't know. Just a feeling of inadequacy, I guess? It's... weird, even I'm not entirely sure what's going on. Started after a really strange dream that I'm trying to recall but it's hard."

Like a faint memory that she was struggling to grab but failing miserably. Then again, all she had was an emotion to go on, rather than any specific memory.

Elaine accepted that without turning around. "Not too uncommon a plaint, these days. Strange things happening in this part of the world! Ah, here we are."

It wasn't much, a canvas roof stretched above a couple spider-covered picnic tables, but it was drier. Elaine went and stood on one of the benches to get a bit more height, removed her hat and shades, and pulled a shell-patterned towel out of her tote. "Here lass, you need it more'n me."
rhapsoidein: (To the arms and the lips and the face)

"So I've heard," She replied, looking around at this new place. It wasn't much, no, but it certainly dry. "Oh, thank you. I really appreciate it."

Taking the towel, she went for her hair first. She wrung it out and then pressed the towel to it. "I've only recently heard about these... strange happenings. And the odd network. What's going on, do you know?"
