Testrun meme (November & December)

TESTRUN MEME

1) Harvest time! The Agricultural Tower needs a hand harvesting the crops. How is that working out for you and your Pokemon?

2) It's starting to get a bit chilly out! Snow is now blanketing the ground and as an unfortunate side effect Ice Types are now on a rampage through Union. They seem to be having a lot of fun, but it's inconveniencing everyone else, what do you do?

3) Soulfasting is upon us, and festivals abound. Residents have taken to one of the larger parks in Union to celebrate. There are delicious sweets, performances on stage and other spectacles. Some people from the audience are even being pulled up on stage! How are you celebrating?

4) With Autumn coming to a close, many trees within the Verdant Forest have shed their leaves into enormous piles. Unfortunately, this extends beyond the forest and into Union itself, and there is now a big leaf problem. You get to clean it up, have fun!

5) Wildcard! Come up with a prompt!

Hajime Hinata | Super Dangan Ronpa 2

[recuttal]

[4]

[Great. How bad was his luck that he ended up on cleaning duty?

Oh well. Hajime tried not to complain about it too much-- he was kind of boggling at just how many leaves had ended up here, but other than that didn't do muh more than grumble a little and accept his fate. Besides, being outside wasn't too bad until it got really cold out-- he pretty much lived outside anyway. With less people around, it was pretty refreshing.

So.... well he wasn't exactly working dilligently, but he had a pretty sizable pile of leaves, all raked and assembled together, the ground around mostly clear.]

--Huh? Ch... Chibimi...?

[Wait a minute. Where was Chibimi?

He stops and casts his glance around for a moment-- but the little Cleffa wasn't gone for long, before she appeared suddenly from the top of a roof and made a divebomb straight down for the pile of leaves-- but she definitely wasn't a flying type and oh my gd why was she jumping from so high up--]

Hey--!

[He dropped the rake and jumped for the falling, giggling little pink ball-- catching her in his arms just in time for him to fall right into his own pile of leaves.

...Yeah he's just gonna lay there for awhile. Half covered in leaves and bushy brown tail drooping over the rest of the pile underneath his own defeat, and the little Cleffa making her own little happy noises.]

[Festivals... weren't really his thing either. The crowds were really too large for him to totally enjoy himself, but he didn't want to just stay home and miss everything.

So it's pretty easy to find Hajime-- sitting off to the side on the edge of the major crowds, stuffing sweets into his mouth.

Or, alternatively, even finding a scrawny, messy little Eevee, hiding under a booth or a table or even perched on top of a low rooftop, and... well, still stuffing sweets into his mouth. But it's sort of a nibble right now.]

[creamsouda]

Slackin' on the job. That's not like you, Hajime.

[A shadow looms over Hajime. Not to worry; that shadow is simply the weeniest of mawiles, leaning against his own rake and smirking down at Hajime.]

[recuttal]

[Aaaauuuuugggghhhhh--

He sits up almost immediately when he realizes there's someone talking to him, coming to attention and knocking Chibimi down from his chest and into his lap--]

Oh.. it's just you, Kazuichi.

[Phew. Crisis averted, his shoulders relax as Chibimi turns to look at Kazuichi with a curious little smile. Don't scare him like that man.]

I wasn't slacking...! I just sort of... fell.

[Yeah, that's it.]

[creamsouda]

[Grinning as Belaire hurries over to snuffle and lick at Chibimi, Kazuichi chuckles.]

Fell, huh? You know I saw that, right?

[Belaire's whole butt wiggles as she wags her stubby tail. She saw him first! Hello Hajime! Hi!]

[recuttal]

Then don't act like you didn't see anything in the first place...!

[Completely exasperated-- but it's Kazuichi, so it's mostly in jest. Probably.

Still, he'd rather turn his attention to Belaire instead, because her greeting is considerably more cordial than Kazuichi's right now, and he reaches out to pat her head and scratch behind her ears to hide his embarrassment.

Chibimi on the other hand is about just as enthusiastic as Belaire, crying happily at the lick and-- apparently not one to be left out of the attention, quickly pads across Hajimes lap to wave her little hands towards Belaire's nose. No, she would like the attention now thank you.]

I don't even know how she got up there...

[creamsouda]

[Belaire nuzzles her snout under Chibimi until she can pop her up onto her head, allowing her to slide down her neck, so that the little puffball can sit on the ridge of her back.

Kazuichi squats, chuckling and holding out a hand for his friend.]

She's a kid. I bet you were up getting into bullshit all the time when you were little.

[Kazuichi knows HE was...

And it's a lot easier to laugh about this problem when it's Hajime's and not his own.]

[underwearfortomorrow]

[You might hear some snickering across the street. Over yonder would be the entrance to Hikawa Shrine and at it, a draconic looking Enlightened in shrine robes and a broom is watching you guys. Perched on a railing is a Fletchinder and playing in one of his once neat piles is a Magby.]

You might not be getting any raking done like that.

[recuttal]

[For a minute he doesn't hear the snickering-- but immediately bolts upright when he does actually realize it, straightening out his shoulders and looking forward a bit stiffly. Which was a little ridiculous, seeing as there were now a few leaves in his hair and a giggling little pink ball of mischief in his lap.]

Uh...

[Yeah he can't really come up with an excuse or an explanation fast enough.]

...It's not like I meant to, or anything!

[Huffs. Goddamnit. He's gonna have to start almost all over now.]

[underwearfortomorrow]

[He waves his hand]

No, I think your friend had everything to do with that. That was a pretty impressive catch, though.

[recuttal]

[Oh. So he wasn't like, in trouble or anything that was cool. He does seem to let out a breath of relief, and Chibimi is already scrambling out of his lap, tumbling down the pile of leaves with exuberance and hurriedly padding over to the stranger.]

Yeah... it's not the first time she's done something like this. I think she runs around more than I do...

[underwearfortomorrow]

She's still young, isn't she? Children are like that.

[PSHAW. It's not like he owned the Shrine- and even then, he wouldn't be mad about something like that. That's silly. He glances down as Chibimi scampers over to him.]

Hello, there. Do you want to play?

[He motions over to where Chryse, his Magby, is rolling around in a pile of leaves.]

[homingpendulum]

Mind if I join you?

[Lyserg's a sight to see, a hoard of snacks in his arms, a Murkrow perched on his head, and a Flabébé on one shoulder. He offers a polite, if somewhat sheepish, smile. He'd really rather not join the crowds, but lingering on the edge is just fine.]

[recuttal]

Oh--

[He's kind of lounging there like a slob, but he sits up a bit straighter and collects his gangly limbs back closer to his body, returning the sheepish expression with one of his own. Apparently he wasn't expecting anyone to notice him.]

Yeah, sure. Not much happening in my corner of the world, though.

[He's smiling! Even if it looks kind of awkward.]

[homingpendulum]

If I wanted a lot happening, I would've joined the crowd. [He chuckles softly, taking a seat and setting down the snacks he brought with him. His Murkrow flutters down from his head and onto his lap.]

Are you enjoying the festival?

[recuttal]

I guess I can't argue with that...

[He lets out a breath, though it's one of amusement, and he crosses his legs as Lyserg settles himself down, casting a glance to the Murkrow for a minute before he takes another bite out of his Kusamochi.

He should...probably figure out where Chibimi was currently skittering around. But she was probably fine. Probably.]

I've never been to one of these big events before... not for very long, at least. It's kind of cool, but I have no idea what to do with myself.

[Besides eat.]

[homingpendulum]

I don't normally attend, either. Normally I'm down in Old City, but my grandfather insisted that I see at least a little sun today. [He shakes his head, a fond smile on his face.] At least the food's good, right?

[3]

[pocketmobster]

[It's when Hinata's in his fluffier form that the chubby little Eevee crawls into his hiding place, following the scent of (one of) her (many) favorite treats. Kusamochi. Yessss. Her nose twitches when she sees him, and then, bright-eyed, fearless as only one who has known no trouble in her young life can be, wriggles right on up to him to say hello.]

[recuttal]

[Kusamochi is pretty much his favorite treat. It's one of the many reasons that he actually came out here, but it's a big reason, and he's pretty busy gleefully nibbling away as his tailed wagged back and forth.

It's only when the chubby little Eevee is right nearby and twitching in the air that he actually notices her, and his fur stands on ends for a moment when he looks up.

But... it's also really obvious after a moment that she's just edging for the treat, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, and he moves his head away from being practically buried inside the kusamochi.]

Oh... did you want some...?

[pocketmobster]

Yes!

[She wags her tail earnestly, then puts her head down on her paws, still smiling up at him. She knows what her noisy gangster papa never learned: Good things come to those who wait. To those who wait adorably enough, anyway.]

I like that. It's good. Is it yours?

[recuttal]

Yeah.. it's my favorite.

[But he isn't disinclined to share, and he places the edge of the paw on one half of the treat as he sinks his teeth in to the other side, pulling his head until it's been messily ripped into two pieces. He releases his hold on both halves, gently nosing the half that wasn't in his mouth toward her.]

I got it at one of the vendors. But you can have some.

[pocketmobster]

Hehehe, yay!

[She wiggles her whole body happily before digging into her half of the treat, sharp little teeth making short work of the gooey mochi.]

Mmmhmhm. Yes! [She licks her lips.] It was delicious.

[What she hasn't learned in Fuyuhiko's care, apparently, is manners. No please or thank you from her. But she brightens with an idea and inches closer again.]

Hey, you should come with me. Since you shared with me, I can share more with you!

[toxictails]

[There's a clatter and scrabbling of claws before a stripey pink and blond face appears-- a shiny stunky, gripping a little bundle in her teeth. With a triumphant chirp, she wriggles her way up onto the rooftop with the eevee, dragging her ill-gotten gains along. Trotting up beside him, she drops the bundle and grins, sitting and curling her own floofy tail around herself.]

You get a good haul too?

[She might've been eye-catching but she was small and fast and there was so much else going on that it wasn't too difficult to swipe a bunch of treats. Glancing back to her little cloth bundle, Junko paws through it and stuffs one of several daifuku into her mouth.]

[recuttal]

[He withdraws his attention from the food when he realizes Junko's hear, taking a few steps to the side so that his own gains are before both of them instead of just himself.]

Yeah. There's so much here I don't think anyone really notices anything is missing...

[He says, though he didn't even steal most of it. Mostly just scavenged it, some of it he even paid for.]

[toxictails]

[She chitters in an approximation of a laugh, nodding quickly as she . One paw slides her own bundle over, too-- what's hers is his, mostly. She even digs up some kusamochi for him and drops it on 'his' pile... but takes a piece of yōkan in exchange, nibbling away happily.]

I haven't had this stuff in ages!

[She sounds fairly delighted, glad just to try all these desserts again.]

[recuttal]

[It's a fair give and take-- and he can't say he doesn't appreciate it, because as soon as she's gobbling up his yokan, he's pawing at the kusamochi as he rips off a small bite. Sharing food like this, it's something he's used to; though the setting hasn't been as cheerful in a long time.]

Yeah, I almost forgot how lively this place could be some times... it seems like we came at the perfect time.

[Yep. Just in time for desserts.]
