testdrive | welcome to the new age.







testdrive meme.

1. First Day At Falner
You have just arrived at Falner Estate, a sprawling, beautiful, 400-hectare co-located space between Britain, Germany, and the Philippines, and the main base of Netsach. The flora and fauna in the area gives both a sense of familiarity as it looks at first glance like things you’ll find on Earth, and a weird sense of otherworldliness. Given the size of the place, the Estate is less of a compound and more like a town unto itself. The older buildings within the estate are gothic in their construction, and clear throwbacks to 19th Century Europe. The newer facilities, however, sport cutting edge contemporary designs that were clearly inspired by Fourth World architecture and technology.

If you want a better idea on what can be found on the estate, you can refer to this link.


2. A Day On The Job
You are pushing papers at Methuselah, doing research at the Arcanum, or going out on patrol -- whatever it is that you're doing, it's just another day for you as a Hunter of the Vigil.


3. Let's Head Down to Haven
Find yourself itching for a night out on the town? Why not head over to Haven, the classy nightclub that looks like a large, monolithic black building with no visible windows from the outside and the name of the club emblazoned in bold, white letters on one side.

Haven is located in Makati City, and is open to the public (especially the local supernatural community), but you might want to prepare yourself to wait in line for a very, very long time – unless you’re a Hunter, of course.

Falner’s Maenad Division holds office on top of Haven, as does Ordo Daywalker. Some of Haven’s staff also live above the night club.


4. The Awakening
Want to tag out your character's origin story? Set the stage and let's see where things go.


5. Choose Your Own Adventure
If none of the suggested premises hit the mark, feel free to set things up and let's do a tag round.



Instructions for the Testdrive:
1. Specify your chosen scenario number on the subject line.
2. Should you wish to tag with a specific character already established within Waking the Dead, indicate who. The current list of available NPCs can be found over here.

[ Nodding now as she glances back to you and sends a smile your way. It comes out tentative, but she's getting good at smiling these days.

A frown though. ]
So you are visiting Falner?

[ Because you're new. And your 'home' is in a place that is far from here. ]

Oh, no. [ Shaking his head. ] This is home for me now. I just got transferred here.

[ And it looks like he was going to be around for a while, since the big pressing assignment they had for him was finding a new blade.

Not easy, that. ]

[ A-ah...! c: ]

I welcome you to Falner then, Luke.

[ Because Gisi is in Falner and so on and so forth etcetcetc.

Looking back at that mask in her hand now and smiling quietly before she gives it back. ]


It is a beautiful mask. [ Perhaps one day she will have one of her own. ]

[personal profile] huamo 2014-09-25 12:45 pm (UTC)(link)
It is, isn't it? Someone very dear to me made it a long time ago.

[ Keep on smiling, Lucas Pierce.

He's gone, and he isn't going to come back, and that is that.

(At least you're getting so much better at looking and sounding like you're fine, you're even starting to fool yourself.) ]

[ She smiles back at him and starts looking a little shy.

One day, she hopes to be part of Zangyaku. Maybe someday, someone will make her a mask as beautiful as yours, too. ]
huamo: (//002)

[personal profile] huamo 2014-09-25 01:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[ And even though he's oblivious to what you're thinking: ]

I guess I'll see you with one of your own someday, huh?

[ It's logical, isn't it? You're the Blade King's charge. ]

[ ...!!!

A slow nod. ]


I hope to learn and work hard to be part of Zangyaku.

[ Because she has a long way to go, but she is at Balamb now and she has decided for herself that she will do well. ]
huamo: (//005)

[personal profile] huamo 2014-09-26 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds like a plan. Are you training with us already?

[ It would make sense if you were. ]
lyall: (ᴄᴏᴍᴇ ᴀᴡᴀʏ ʟɪᴛᴛʟᴇ ᴏɴᴇ)

[personal profile] lyall 2014-09-26 03:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Have a quiet shake of the head and her reaching out to stroke Mitsuru's fur all over again. ]

I am attending Balamb first.

[ That's coming out quiet and almost shy. ]

I do not have the skills for Zangyaku yet.

[ She has fought and she has killed, but it is different from the discipline of the junior oni-tsukai. ]
huamo: (//007)

[personal profile] huamo 2014-09-27 12:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm pretty sure you will once you're done at Balamb. It's a good school.

[ Or so he has heard. Furthermore, well... you look like the kid that could go places.

At least he wants you to. It's the thought that counts, right? ]
lyall: (ғʀᴏᴍ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪғᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ᴀʟᴡᴀʏs ᴋɴᴇᴡ)

[personal profile] lyall 2014-09-27 01:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[ And this is why she will never understand why people find Zangyaku operatives frightening. Everyone she has met so far has been so kind. ]

It is.

[ Looking down to her hands now with a smile. ]
huamo: (//009)

[personal profile] huamo 2014-09-27 01:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Man, you are really, really cute. His dads would be all over you in two shakes.

He's holding Mitsuru out to you now. ]


Here you go. Wouldn't want to keep you guys too long from your walk.
lyall: (ᴡᴇ ᴀʀᴇ ᴄᴏᴍɪɴɢ ғᴏʀ ʏᴏᴜ)

[personal profile] lyall 2014-09-27 02:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She'll take Mitsuru and hug the cat to her chest with the kind of care that borders a little on too cautious, like she's afraid she might hurt him if she latches on too tightly.

When she lifts her eyes to you again, she'll attempt an awkward bow -- the kind she has seen some of the younger oni-tsukai do when they take their leave. ]


It was... nice talking to you, Luke.

[ If that comes out a little soft, it's only because she's really shy. You have been so nice to her. ]
huamo: (//001)

[personal profile] huamo 2014-09-27 02:05 pm (UTC)(link)
It was nice talking to you too. You can come to me anytime whenever you see me around, okay?

[ He means that. He loves kids, and well. You're kind of really important to the Blade King. He doesn't need to know the particulars just yet. ]
