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?!

Not satisfied with the prompt selection? Why not write your own test run post over at [community profile] testrun_box!

Oh? I'm sorry to hear that.

Would you like some tea? I find it quite relaxing.

[She looks up at her. Then away, and thinks about it. And sighs.]

Do you mind black tea? I prefer it and may as well make a pot.
way_of_vengeance: (Oho?)

[personal profile] way_of_vengeance 2014-04-08 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
Oh? It's not usually my personal choice, but it will do just fine.

So? What happened?
hurt_comforting: (...as you say Lin.)

[personal profile] hurt_comforting 2014-04-08 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
...my unit's empathy was used as a weapon against us.

We fell for a trap baited with innocents in danger, and it cost us dearly.
way_of_vengeance: (...eh?)

[personal profile] way_of_vengeance 2014-04-08 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
...Really?

Well, were they people you knew?
hurt_comforting: (:wtfmate:)

[personal profile] hurt_comforting 2014-04-08 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
People JOSHUA knew, certainly. Friends of Anna, our old commander in San Francisco, as well.

I - the trap should have been obvious. We couldn't not help them, but we could have kept up our guard.
way_of_vengeance: (definitely smile)

[personal profile] way_of_vengeance 2014-04-08 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, don't feel so bad then! That sort of diversion has been used time and time again. There's no shame in falling for that.

Why, I'm inclined to respect those enemies a bit more for their initiative. Of course, something more imaginative would be nicer, but the classics have a charm of their own, you know?
hurt_comforting: (...as you say Lin.)

just to clarify here: ilu, Merry not so much.

[You get this face. This face forever.]

You're serious.

Kanae is the best role model, clearly

[personal profile] way_of_vengeance 2014-04-08 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
...Yes?

Is there some reason I wouldn't be?

[She sips some tea.]

It's just, it wouldn't occur to me to give the villains remedial lessons.

[Done steeping. She pours you one, then herself - and puts sugar in hers. Lots of it.]
way_of_vengeance: ((*v_v*))

[personal profile] way_of_vengeance 2014-04-08 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, it's nothing like that. They killed a friend of yours, yes? Then for that they deserve to die painful, horrendous deaths, their very life fading underneath your fingertips as you tighten your grip around their neck...ah, it gives me chills just thinking about it...

[She gives a contented sigh, and that blush fades back to her normal smile.]

...Still, clever foes deserve some respect, don't you think? Before you kill them, of course.
hurt_comforting: (:stepford:)

[She drops her teacup somewhere in the middle of that. And catches it by the handle, barely.]

Ah. Old hat, then.
