Test Drive VII

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Time for another one of these, right in time for ATP tomorrow!

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|

Happy hunting on the ATP!

Now you're definitely making fun of my memory. As if I would make such an obvious mistake.

[shanghaiworld]

I guess I should have said Marisa, but it's too late now.

... Enjoying the scenery?

stupid history section. /flips app

[ Yuuka takes a deep breath with her eyes closed. When she opens them and exhales, she actually takes half a step back so she can properly leer size Alice up. ] You could say that...

[shanghaiworld]

... Huh? [It was rare for Alice to be this confused. She really had no idea what that had meant.]

[nephentes_rajah]

You've grown into a fine young woman. Perhaps my pruning did some good after all. [ All smiles. Aren't compliments the best? ]

[shanghaiworld]

... [The reaction is silence, she's not entirely sure how to respond to that one.]

[nephentes_rajah]

[ While Alice's brain plays catch-up, Yuuka crouches and picks up the headband. She even goes to far as to pick off a couple of stray bits of grass before she reaches forward (if Alice is willing) and carefully slips it back into place on the girl's head. ]

[shanghaiworld]

[And... that wasn't what she expected to happen.] Ah... thanks. [Nor was that ever something she thought she would ever say to Yuuka.]

[nephentes_rajah]

Ahh, and here I thought I was going to have to hunt the cat that stole your tongue. [ Or go in after it. One of those. ] You seem so modest, now. It hardly suits you.

[shanghaiworld]

You... do know that's just a saying, right? [She managed to take what was said literally AND miss any meaning behind it.]

[nephentes_rajah]

Hmm, that's true. All that cats steal these days are corpses. Would you rather have that? [ If you can't tell that as a threat or not, that's the joke. ]

[shanghaiworld]

You met that cat, too? Didn't think many others would know of the underground youkai... [What about missing the joke?]

[nephentes_rajah]

Word surrounding incidents spreads fast. You know how everyone loves their gossip. [ A twirl of her umbrella. ] I've helped solve one or two in my day. All the latest ones have been so dull, though...

Which is why I'm looking forward to this change in scenery.

[shanghaiworld]

I don't know, the incident itself wasn't much, but the raven that shot suns was a bit different.

[nephentes_rajah]

A troublesome ability. There is such a thing as "too much sun". [ ...damn it all, now she was going along with Alice's tangenting. ]

—speaking of that, I have heard there are hot springs here, as well.

[shanghaiworld]

Oh, yes. I believe it's a two-in-one with a Japanese styled inn. [Please don't make me go.]

[nephentes_rajah]

[ Oh they'll be going, eventually. ] How quaint~.

You'll join me there sometime, won't you? I'd be lonely there otherwise.

[shanghaiworld]

Ah... I'm sure there are better guests for that than I am. [You know... like someone else with a Japanese name.]

[nephentes_rajah]

Nonsense, little one! The queen wants us to bond, and it would be a shame to squander the chance. [ Though the sentiment is nice, there is a certain venom in that manner of address. Just who does the queen think she is, anyway? ]

[shanghaiworld]

Well if she really wanted to make a chance she'd have people chained together... again. [Actual chains would be new though, but Alice has been through enough of the queens plans to just be flat out annoyed at the mention of something like that.]

[nephentes_rajah]

I can arrange that. [ Giving Yuuka ideas = BAD. ]

[shanghaiworld]

... Eh? [She knows not what she has wrought.]

[nephentes_rajah]

[ Lips pursed, she presses a finger to her chin and looks around. ] We would need some sturdy vines, at least...

[shanghaiworld]

... You know, I think I have something to do somewhere else, if you'll excuse me... [Backing uuuup.]

[nephentes_rajah]

[ Yuuka waves a hand dismissively. ] Don't let me keep you, child. I will see you again very soon. [ Is that a mischievous little smile? Nonsense. Yuuka has only the best intentions at heart~. ]
