Test Drive Meme #1
Prompts Waking up: You wake up in a bed that is not your own, in a room that is not your own. But the more you think about it, you can't remember what your room looked like. In fact, you can't remember anything at all! But hey, at least you're not the only person around. Reach out, find someone, and get some answers. The Dream: Haibane enter this world without most memories, but they do remember one thing: their cocoon dream. But it's not so easy to understand, is it? Maybe talking through it with someone else will help you figure out just what your dream means. Wings aren't easy to use: So, you're a Haibane. Awesome. But you know what's not awesome? Getting used to these darn wings, that's what. Suddenly having two extra limbs that you're not sure how to control isn't easy, and they're liable to bump into things and just plain get in the way. Actually, you might want to apologize for unintentionally hitting that person in the face, or help clean up that lamp you knocked over. On the town: Glie is a beautiful city, and there are a lot of places to explore! So why not check some of them out? Everyone seems friendly enough, and the townspeople are more than willing to help anyone who gets lost. Check out the setting page, pick a spot, and go check it out! Wintertime: It's wintertime in Glie, which means snow, snow, snow! And even though it's cold, the sun is shining, so the cold is bearable today. What are you going to do? Go sledding? Have a snowball fight? Make snow angels? Well, that last one should be a lot easier to do now. Player choice: Don't like these prompts? Come up with your own! The city of Glie is quite large, and there is a lot to do.

[ a. central plaza | He had never been so fussed over in his life. Or at least, if he had memories of it, it certainly wouldn't have been as bad as this.

It was as if every wingless adult in the entire nation had come to flock over him, as if to remind him how small he was. How vulnerable. They each patted his head to assure him that everything was okay. They'd find an older Haibane soon! Don't cry anymore little boy!

He actually just wanted to gag.

Eventually, some Haibane he'd previously seen in passing was pulled towards the group. As annoying as this all was, (Conan) was ready to figuratively jump into their arms. Anything to get away from the baby-talk posse. Though he wanted to ask around for info, it'd have to do for next time. When people actually take him seriously. ]

[So, who knows why the villagers thought Sunako would be the best choice of Haibane to herd over but here she is in all her slightly older glory. Thirteen is definitely old enough to foist a child onto. Definitely.

She's not completely sure what the fuss is about, Conan doesn't look like he is in any trouble, but she doesn't want to let the concerned citizens worry so...]

Are you okay?

[At least she is asking his opinion and not jumping to conclusions.]

[ Oh thank god. Someone who can finally be reasoned with. He gets on his tiptoes and whispers as close to her ear as he can. ]

These guys are entirely convinced I'm some lost kid. Play along for a bit?

[ He winks at her and flattens his feet to the ground once more, attempting to look as small as possible while tugging on Sunako's clothes. ]

Yay! Big sis is here! [ Conan's big sis whom he definitely knows and didn't make her his imaginary thirteen year old babysitter on the spot! His voice is almost sickeningly sweet and childish compared to when he was talking to Sunako. ] Hehe... well... we're gonna go now so - bye bye!

[Okay, well that is unexpected but for some reason she is actually fine with this? The entire prospect of playing out a little act seems fun even if she has no idea why he wants to. It doesn't even matter if there's a point.

She nods once, just slight enough for him to catch it, and then her expression sifts to a worried pout.]

Jeez! You know you're not supposed to wander away like that, you'll worry me half to death! [She stomps one foot and then turns to the villagers to bow.] Thank you for looking after him.

[A pat on the head for Conan and then she grabs his hand. Just a nice older sibling trying her darnedest to not lose the kid once again. Nothing unusual here.] Come on now.

...I'm sorry. [ Adding in his own pout for effort: ] I'll be good, big sis.

[ He then cheerfully waves with his free hand at the city humans til they're out of sight, and that's when the smile drops off Conan's face. He assumes his natural form - one where he shoves his hands in his pants pockets and slouches slightly forward, an appearance unfitting for an assumed five year old. ]

Yeesh, I'm never doing that again. [ That atrocious baby act. He only mimicked what he'd seen the local human kids do but maybe he overdid it somewhat. ] You really helped me out there. For crying out loud, they wouldn't let me go by myself.

[It's pretty fascinating to watch the shift. And familiar in a way. The second they are far enough away and he stops the act she pulls her hand away since she assumes he wouldn't want to continue. Instead she taps her chin as she not so subtly tries to figure him out.]

It's no problem, but you're rather precocious. I can see why they wouldn't believe you were there by yourself.

[Kettle, pot. etc. etc.]

[Did you really mean to single this one out, brat?

Did you really

Perhaps he was harder to recognize in a drab, hand-me-down, brown winter coat and not one of his black, classier trench coat. Far from gentle, the man immediately responded to the reaching child with a rough shake of his leg to jostle him loose, all but kicking him to the ground. It would appear to be an accident to onlookers.]
