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.

[Wow, what a wrinkly guy! That guy has wrinkles on his wrinkles! Rin's never seen someone so old! Hell yeah he's going to talk to this person. Rin hadn't been doing anything except watching the other Haibane go about their business, but seeing someone who looked that unique piqued his interest enough to get him to carefully approach the older man.

As he walked closer, he noticed that not only was this guy old as - anything - he was also really tall. Old people needed help carrying things, right? On one hand, it would give Rin something to do. On the other hand, it gave him a reason to talk to this person. On the third hand - okay there wasn't a third hand - but if there was, it would be another good reason to talk to someone.

Or anyone, really.]

Hey. You need help with those bags?

[Rin plz, Shiro is only a couple centimeters taller.

But Shiro stops when he sees Rin, since the boy is addressing him and all. Then he looks down at the bags in his hands, and for a moment he considers saying no, he's got it.

But hey, if Rin wants to do all the hard work.]

That's very kind of you. I'm heading towards Old Home, are you headed that way?

[He will totally hand off the bags, though. They're not heavy, just awkward to carry, since paper bags with no handles.]

It's nothin'.

[Those centimeters are important! Rin still has to look up. Sort of.

Not that Rin lives for hard work, but he likes being useful. And who better to help than a person with wrinkles! It was like a done deal.]

...You live in Old Home? That makes sense. [. . . He didn't know Old Home was for Old Haibane. No wonder it's so rare to see wrinkly faces. They were just in Old Home!] Since you're old looking.

[I-It's an honest observation.]

[RINPLZ]

Oi, It's not called Old Home because old people live there! It's called Old Home because it is literally a home that is old!

[The struggle is real, he can't hit kids. He feels that urge, but he knows it's wrong.]

...And I'm not even that old! I might look older than most, but I feel perfectly fine.

[OLD PEOPLE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE NICE. Wrinkles meant soft, which means nice, which means not getting mad!

Well, okay, maybe Old Man isn't mad, but still.]

I don't live there, so how am I supposed to know that? [ . . . wait] Why wouldn't you feel fine?

Oh, so you're one of the Factory brats, huh?

[He'll take his groceries back then >T]

Haven't you seen the old people in this town? Most of them look fine, but then one day they start getting fragile.

[WHAT? WHATWHATWHAAAAAAAAT???

TAKE THE STUPID GROCERIES, RIN DOESN'T WANNA HELP ANYWAY.]

I'm not a brat, old man! The hell do you think I do around town, stalk people?!

[Oh lord that face is kind of hilarious.]

You have eyes, right? Anybody can see the difference between how young and old people act. Just look around, there's plenty of people here.

[Some of them are going 'wtf' at the yelling people in the middle of the street though.]

[DON'T MOCK HIM]

I don't got time to watch 'em like the docks! That's stupid!! I can tell the difference without all that, dammit!

[Those poor people... Rin's showing a great display of self-control! He's only balled his hands up into fists and has attempted to yell even louder. He deserves a medal.]

Like the docks?

[Your metaphors, Rin. They are lacking.]

How would you tell the difference, then?

[DID HE STUTTER???]

The docks!! The things old people look at! Like you!! Like - like how young people don't - don't have -- [ . . . CRAP, HE'S LOSING STEAM HERE. QUICK, RIN, THINK OF ALL THE WAYS YOUNG PEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT THAN THE OLD ONES.

GASP!!! HE'S GOT ONE. READY FOR THIS?!!] -- don't have wrinkles!

[Groundbreaking observations are being made right here. TAKE THAT.]
