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.

[In her past life, Winter was a middle school student that moonlighted as a magical girl protecting her city. In Locke City, she's not anything special (yet), but she's got a heart of gold, brains to spare, and... no social skills except whatever she can learn from books.]

[1]

[Normally, someone in the ice cream parlor would be... well, eating ice cream. Instead, there's a dark-haired girl here with her nose in a book and a steaming cup of tea on the table next to her. The book, oddly enough, appears to be a collection of famous Japanese love poems, but she's totally engrossed in it. And as she reads, for some inexplicable reason, she starts to cry; she only vaguely realizes it herself, apparently, as there's a long delay between when it starts and when she starts to wipe her eyes.]

[2]
I can't believe I forgot it...!

[Running through the rain is something Winter is... not unknown for. But normally, she'd at least have her umbrella, or her jacket. But she managed to leave both of them behind today by accident, so she's trying to hurry to wherever she's going in the middle of a downpour, long hair streaming out behind her. After some distance, she takes cover under a store awning, a hand on her chest as she tries to catch her breath. The storm doesn't seem to be letting up anytime soon... Winter looks up to the sky, sighing.]
