test drive meme iv.

[revolutionized]

Let's see if this is a better time for it!

test drive meme!

Here's how it works!

➊ wanna play a character but don't have the time? or maybe you just want to test them out?
➋ well go for it! post them here like they're already in the game (text, voice, video or action), and have them talk to characters already in the big gay Garden! Be sure to put their name and fandom in the subject line, for those of us who don't know it.
➌ then app them because you know you want to. 8|

Please spread the word about this meme, and happy Tuesday!

[what] I really hope you aren't addressing me.



Oh, um, she's Bulbasaur.

[aseparateworld.livejournal.com]

[N's eyes widen a little.] Oh, hello. No, I meant this plant. I've never seen anything like it before. [N's speech is both rapid and a little stilted. She indicates a coil of the Vine, then her gaze moves to Bulbasaur.]

Of course she is. [N's silent for a moment, listening, then smiles, her gaze suddenly locking with Jessica's. It's a rather intense gaze.] It's so nice to meet you, Jessica. [Bulbasaur has made an introduction, it seems.] Bulbasaur's very fond of you.

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

It's, um, just called the Vine. It's... pretty crazy.

Um. Yeah. I, uh, noticed, what with the whole, um, claiming me. So, what's your name? You kind of have me at a disadvantage.

[BEST. HUMAN. EVER. (Well, OK, maybe on a par with Jessica.)]

[aseparateworld.livejournal.com]

The Vine. It's naturally like this? I thought it might be part of a Pokémon at first, but now I can see it isn't.

I was sure you knew, since you're such wonderful friends. [N continues to smile.] It's simply that it makes me happy to see such a close bond between a Pokémon and a person. That's how things should always be.

[N laughs fondly at Bulbasaur's words. She's so kind.] My name? [For some reason, she hesitates.] It's N.

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

Oh, no, it's native here. Are you from the, um, place with all the pokemons?

Yeah, I'm, uh, I guess I'm pretty big on animals. Not like my mom, but... y'know, they're cool. (Except centipedes. They can go to hell.)

Ann?

[aseparateworld.livejournal.com]

[N is piecing together things that the Pokémon, and now Jessica, have said.] Yes, this is another world, isn't it? I see that now. How strange. My world is indeed one where people and Pokémon live together. Like an equation, the two sides have the same value, though there may yet be unknown quantities.

I'm glad to hear that. I love all creatures.

It's N. It's a single letter.

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I guess you got the general spiel already?

Hah, I'm not sure I follow your metaphor there.

Oh, sorry. N. Is that a nickname, or... [were you particularly unfortunate?]

[aseparateworld.livejournal.com]

I think I understand, though I'm not sure why I was brought here. [N does not actually understand all that well.]

I mean that Pokémon and people are equal, like the two sides of an equation, but the ways they relate and their essential qualities have not all been defined. Did you know that the souls of humans can become Pokémon after death? They understand us, sometimes better than we understand ourselves. They seek us out, as opponents or partners. Clearly, we're linked. Pokémon should be honored, admired. But so many of them back home are used, abused, treated cruelly in various ways. Trapped in balls, their voices silenced.

My name is N Harmonia. I have no other name. [She just had a really, really shitty Dad.]

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

Well, the general idea seems to be hooking up. Though obviously Her Highness didn't really bother to select for people who'd actually want to do that.

Wait, souls... become pokemons? [Staaaaring at Bulbasaur. Who stares back, completely unconcerned.]

Oh, yeah, I had a problem with the ball thing, too, but then Touko assured me they were comfortable with it. Granted, I probably wouldn't do that anyway, but... I guess it's like putting your dog in a crate. It's like a den for them.

Hah. I'm sorry to hear that. You must get a lot of jokes and stuff.

[aseparateworld.livejournal.com]

[N has no interest in and little comprehension of the subject of hooking up. She would say more about Poké Balls, because in spite of the fact that she's changed her opinions about some things, she still has her misgivings about them, and she could point out some very obvious misuses of them, since Jessica clearly has an incomplete understanding of the issue. Also, no one ever joked about N's name, mainly because she didn't talk to people much.

However, none of that matters anymore to N, who completely forgets everything else she was talking about, her face lighting up like that of a child's on Christmas, not that she knows what Christmas is..]

Touko? Is she here?

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

Oh, um... not anymore, no. [Now she feels bad! It's like kicking a puppy!]

She made a ferris wheel, though?

[aseparateworld.livejournal.com]

[As one might have expected, N's face falls, her disappointment plain. It takes her a moment to recover, but then she nods, as if it all makes sense to her.]

I see. It's not yet time for us to meet again. I'm not ready. I've only just begun my long journey.

Touko is a great hero. [She smiles.] She made one? Like the one we rode in together... That seems so long ago now. I wonder if she was thinking of me. I love ferris wheels. I hope you'll ride it with me, since one can't go up alone.
