Testrun meme

Presenting the test run meme for characters that want to get into SRWU. How does it actually work?

-Following is a list of prompts that your character can respond to. The prompts are described to some extent but there is intentional vagueness so you can fill in the details yourself. Make sure to describe those details in your response. Make sure to also include the number of the prompt you're responding to!

-After you post your response (a top-level entry), other players can respond to it with their own characters. This creates a thread where the two of you continue to interact with each other.

-There can be more than one response per a top-level entry, thus creating several independent threads that originate from one tag. Please don't interject into other peoples' threads that are already running without making sure they're fine with it first!

-There is no need to register or join any communities in order to respond to this meme. Just pick a character you want to use and post away.

-Participation is not obligatory for characters that want to get into SRWU. Participating can be helpful though because threads your character participates in can count for the app's "sample post" requirement.

List of prompts:

[1]
You just joined Unity Group and received accomodation at one of its bases. The question is, what will you do next? Look around for your room? Go to the hangar to make sure your mecha is alright? Say hello to other pilots who are already around? Greet everyone more officially through a disciplined military-like broadcast? Or perhaps something else altogether?

[2]
Using the Time-Space Extension Nexus... or teleporters, as many people unofficially but not inaccurately call it. You enter the Nexus room, there is a slight tingling sensation and just a second later, you leave at a different location - in another of Unity Group's base! Was it the first time for you to use this unusual, marvelous technology? Or are you already used to it?

[3]
Victory! Something good just happened, for you or for the group as a whole. A difficult mission was successful, a troublesome enemy defeated, perhaps the victory was political in nature, or maybe you received an upgrade for your machine. Either way, it's something to feel good about - so describe what it was and how you celebrate.

[4]
Bad times are upon us. A new powerful enemy emerged from somewhere, we faced a huge defeat, an ally has perished, or maybe it is something more personal in nature. Whatever it is (describe it as above), it can't be good... how do you cope with it?

[5]
It's time to fight! A battle is raging around you, and it is time to focus if you wish to win, no - if you want to live! But who are the enemies, what unit are you using, what is the current situation, and most importantly: what are you doing at this very moment?!

A knock at the door!

"Heyo, Mizuki! You in there?"
empress_without_a_throne: (All in good humor)

[The door opens up, and the mechanic gets a warm smile from the room's occupant.]

Dido! Glad to see you made the trip here too!
actuallyselfish: (Whelp...)

"Heh. No way would I miss out on this place!" Dido replies with a wave of her hand (the other hand mysteriously concealed behind her back).

"I mean, have you seen the gantry equipment they've got in this place? State of the art gear!"

Dido sighs. "I've never gotten to use state of the art gear before..."

And that's the beauty of us being here. Solaris learned to make due with very little, but now you and the other tech people won't have to go dumpster diving for tools and materials any more.

[That other hand's got Mizuki suspicious though.]

... And now what're you hiding?
actuallyselfish: (No Skin Off My Back)

Not sure how varied Mizuki's diet actually is...

Dido grins slyly. "Well, the kitchen staff back at Solaris HQ fixed something up for you!"

She removes her hand from behind her back, revealing a packet of vacuum-sealed confections, along with a bottle of clear oil.

"Wa-Bam! A do it yourself Giant Tube Worm stir-fry kit, with Kaiju-base cooking oil! The chefs thought you'd like something more varied for your stay here than Jellyfish a la Blender!"

Fairly diverse thanks to extradimensional stuff we'll be getting (1/2)

[Her jaw just drops open as she reaches up to take it from Dido.]

Dido, I...
empress_without_a_throne: (Snark)

... They better not make a habit out of this...

That's a good way to make me expect it. That and blow Solaris's budget.
actuallyselfish: (Bwha?)

But does Mizuki have a talent for cooking?

[personal profile] actuallyselfish 2014-03-19 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
"Point," Dido allows. "Ah! That reminds me: the head chef asked me to make sure you–"

She whips out a que card, and squinting, reads it's instruction.

"–never increase the stove-top temperature over 380 degrees Farenheit while cooking, lest a–what's that word, -catastrophic bacterial sulfuric rupture occur."

She lowers the card. "Huh."

empress_without_a_throne: (Aside)

Decent, but no more than an ordinary person would have with dishes they're familiar with

[personal profile] empress_without_a_throne 2014-03-19 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
... Sounds about right for what we're dealing with.

At any rate, I'll see about cooking this up when there's a really special occasion.

[Still...]

... I hope they don't get too worried about me. My parents especially.

Dido snorts.

"Dude, you can summon a giant robot out of thin air, and blow things up with your left hand."

She stretches her back, working out a kink in it. 'What have you got to worry about?"
empress_without_a_throne: (Snark)

[personal profile] empress_without_a_throne 2014-03-19 02:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Because they're my parents. That's what parents do when someone moves out and works to make it on their own. I mean, how did your parents react when you started working...

[... Except Mizuki doesn't actually know what Dido did when she finally obtained independence.]

... Well, wherever and whatever you did?
actuallyselfish: (Whelp...)

Dido frowns, searching for the right word.

"Lukewarmly." She says at last. "I think they wanted me to follow my dreams, and become an artist or dancer or prize winning novelist or something?"

She shrugs. "Buuuuuttt I just wanted to make lots of money."
