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.

[The day that Rakka was called fashionable was the day her hair stopped sticking up. Then again, she always did like the clothes they got from the thrift store, those and her wing-covers.

As the boy decides to investigate the contents of a box, Rakka was busy trying to pick herself up... with as much success as you'd think. She slips, at least twice.]

...O-oh, uh, yes. Thank you.

[She reaches up to accept that hand.

...Hmm. That jacket... she notices it shift irregularly. Wings? Oh, maybe he didn't have anything to keep then warm.]

[Rakka's dress was light and airy and the sailor-style collar was cute. Everyone at the factory looked like dreary delinquents by comparison, but maybe nice clothes like that would get ruined very quickly in a place like that.

It's fine. Be more careful, okay? Ice is slippery. That's basic.

[Kind of a condescending little brat, isn't he? As soon as she's back on her feet, he tucks his hands back intonhis pockets, leaning back. He glances back at the box.]
I thought haibane were only allowed hand-me-downs.

["Haibane," as if he has nothing to do with them. Still, he's very curious about them...]

[Not the dress today! Today was the red dress and jacket combo, with those boots that should have helped her on the winter terrain, but clearly everything slips up at one point or another. Like Rakka.]

Umm, yeah, I'll keep that in mind.

[He is a bit of a brat, but Rakka was amicable towards even jerks at times. She could roll with it.

Now that she was up, Rakka could get to gathering up all of the boxes again.]

They are! These are all from a thrift store we usually go to! The Haibane always need new clothes when winter comes around.

[This much, he understood! He should help her pick them up, right?

Mm, but he'd have to bend down, and he didn't care much for getting closer to the ground, maybe if he kneeled, but kept his head up and back strai— oh, she's got all the boxes before he could do anything.

He'll just. Stay down there, for a bit. Act like he didn't just crouch down for nothing. Suddenly develop a very deep interest in the ice and frost.

A terribly awkward brat, at that.]

... really? I didn't know.

Are you in charge of handing them out, then? [He really doesn't know how things are done around here, not in-depth, at least.]

And, um... are there still more in the store? You know, if someone were to go look for them, would they find any?

[Rakka's used to... people. All sorts of them. There was a fair chunk of Glie that knew the Haibane by now, and she was always happy to get to know them. Of course, some people came, and others went... what could she do about it?

Ahem.

She's gathering some of the boxes as she speaks, stacking them together. Thanks for your help, kid.]

Uh... [Hrm. Maybe he was new?] That's right. But, normally it's supposed to be a team effort, where a bunch of the older Haibane help. But I thought I could do it on my own.

[Apparently not. So much for being a cool older Haibane?]

.... I don't know for sure. It's possible, but this is just what I got.
