November Test Drive!
Thinking of apping a character but not sure they'll fit in the city walls?
Have no fear, a meme for you is here.
Directions:
Locations:
1. Train Station: New arrival, or waiting to welcome people? Either way, the train comes in, but you still can't ride it out.
2. Cathedral: Looking for redemption? Just doing a little sight-seeing? Or just getting a little shelter?
3. The Beach: You can almost forget you're trapped, in a place like this...
4. The Black Stallion Saloon: You were told the burgers were great here-- but maybe you just came for the beer.
5. The Library: You came to do a little research, but it looks like all of the information's just out of your reach. Though, you can always find a way to pass the time here.
6. The Coffee Joint: A lovely place to have a chat and a bite to eat.
7. The Forest: Not a great place to be caught alone, but are you alone?
8. Wildcard: Pick anything from our list!
Scenarios
1. Just walked in: You intended to get here, and you made your way in; but now someone's caught your eye and you'd like to have a chat.
2. Been here all day: You've been sitting around minding the time. Maybe you didn't notice them at first or maybe you were just working up the courage to talk-- either way, they know you're here and you know it too.
3. Bad weather: You're here because you've gotten rained in. This wasn't your choice, but at least it's dry-- right?
4. Wild card: Got something better in mind? Well screw these prompts, try it out yourself!
Have fun, guys!
no subject
I am sorry.
[That is unfortunate. Needless killing was unfortunate and-- why had she assumed Mukuro had been killed?
It doesn't matter, in the end, as it is still unfortunate.]
That is... difficult to accept. Nevertheless, I suppose it cannot be denied.
[She is, after all, breathing.]
But not all those who come here are dead, are they?
no subject
No, there's... lots of live people, too. It's... the closest thing is 'magic.' Strange things happen, people appear and disappear, there are monsters or something... it's complicated. I still don't know all of it myself.
[Mukuro hesitates only a moment. She knows she has to talk about this, she knows, but she's not sure how to go about it. In the end, straightfoward is really the only choice.]
...Listen, you should... you should know that Kuzuryuu is here, too. And, um, Nanami, if you know her.
no subject
You know him, as well?
[Of course, if he'd known Peko, he must have known Kuzuryuu, but it till seems surprising that she would mention him.]
Where-- where are they?
no subject
I live with them. I can take you to their house.
no subject
Please... I would be in your debt.
[Though she tries not to show it, it's obvious; she is going to get there, to find him, whether Mukuro comes along or not.]
no subject
No, you don't owe me anything. This is the least I can do.
[After everything she'd done, or stood by and allowed her sister to do, there was no way she would ever consider Peko in her debt. She taps at her watch as she walked, trying to contact Kuzuryuu ahead of time-- she really doesn't think this is something to surprise him with, even though it's a good one.]
...He'll be glad to see you.
no subject
Still... it is much appreciated. I found myself without a weapon this far out.
[It was foolish, but she had been able to improvise. She should have been more careful, but coming back from the dead isn't easy, especially when you wake up somewhere so very different.]
...And I will be glad to see him as well.
[Glad, apologetic, probably going to cry, already swallowing the lump in her throat-- you know. Glad.]
no subject
I don't have a sword, but you can borrow this.
[She has others, several, she never feels safe without them. The little claw-blade in her pocket, the slim dagger in her boot, switchblades and throwing knives and all her silver fangs. She could spare this one for her.
She doesn't comment on Peko's emotional state; she doesn't know what to say. She's not even sure how she feels. Mukuro thinks she's glad, to find her of all people, to deliver her safely home to Kuzuryuu. But there's guilt and something melancholy too, and all of they're all muted and muffled like most of her feelings are.]
no subject
If Mukuro did not want to risk Peko being able to take her down, she would not arm her. This gesture speaks volumes.]
Thank you.
[She takes it by the handle, holds it at the ready.
Nods. She'll follow you, Mukuro. There is language spoken only between their glances, the language of soldiers and warriors.]
no subject
Peko's reaction is... almost soothing, somehow. She understands. She still understands. Even without her memories, even younger and disoriented and so different from the Peko she remembers, they still understand each other. She's surprised to realize she feels relieved. So she's willing to show her back, too, to move ahead of her without fear. She isn't careless-- Mukuro is never careless-- but she accepts that this Peko won't harm her.
(and even if she does, if she somehow realizes who she is-- she can accept that.)]
no subject
...These 'monsters', did you encounter any on the way here?
[Peko must have been too quiet, too careful, because she'd had little trouble getting here.]
no subject
I haven't seen any myself, yet. But everyone seems to agree they exist.
[She can believe it, honestly. This place is strange enough.]
no subject
[This can't all be another Monokuma trick, right? Not even Monokuma could bring people back from the dead. That wouldn't make any sense.]
If it's true...
[Then she'll have to keep an eye out.]
no subject
It's not Monokuma.
[She'll have to explain how she knows. But that's all right. Kuzuryuu is already aware she'd been involved in the 'School Life of Mutual Killing' scenario. She doesn't mind letting Peko know, too.]
I've heard about things like... living shadows, or giant animals. Storybook monsters.
no subject
Storybook monsters...?
[The dead coming back to life, mythical monsters--]
...That can't be possible.
no subject
I know. A lot of impossible things exist here.
[Like her own life, and younger, kinder versions of the vicious comrades she once had, and magic and monsters and superpowers and she ends up just blurting out:]
Kuzuryuu has a pet dragon.
[A pause.]
A small one, I mean.
no subject
I'm sorry...
He has... a small dragon?
[Is she just hearing shit or is Ikusaba really claiming there's some sort of Mushu following Fuyuhiko around?]
no subject
...Yes.
...About this big.
[Mukuro takes her hands from her pockets to demonstrate, holding them apart to show about how long the little beast is. She's not sure why. This isn't helping.]
His name is Shinoda.
[That isn't either. She is so terrible at interacting. This is why they didn't speak much, before, she's sure. But it had startled her when she'd first seen it, it just seems reasonable to tell Peko now, right?]
...It's still hard for me to believe too.
no subject
[Maybe she's just very awkwardly referring to a komodo dragon, which would be very dangerous to keep as a pet and she's going to have to have a talk with Fuyuhiko about it--]
Not... the kind that breathes fire.
no subject
[She doesn't elaborate. It's pointless. 'I haven't seen it breathe fire, but it can fly and teleport'... it's too much. They have to trust each other out here in the wilderness; Mukuro doesn't want Peko to think she's any crazier than she surely already does. She'll just have to see it herself.
She really shouldn't be surprised that Peko doesn't believe her. This whole place is ridiculous. She'd have been more disbelieving herself if she hadn't been so panicked when she'd first arrived.
That reminds her.]
By the way... even if you died before, you're alive here. Like nothing happened. Instead of... being a ghost, or anything, I mean. You still need to take care of yourself.
[Something she had to learn herself.]
no subject
[She says it, but then shakes her head.]
You don't have to answer.
[It may sound cold, but it's more that she gets it; there is no way Mukuro can know how it's possible beyond what she's already said. It's maddening, thinking it only 'magic', but what else could it be but magic or miracle?]
This is simply... jarring.
