TEST DRIVE MEME (4)
Your character wakes up in a neat bedroom in their team carriage, in nondescript underwear. They might be missing their memories, or their special abilities, or they may just feel a little queasy. Next to them is what seems to be a smartphone, which they know how to use even if they never had before, even if they don't know if they have before. On the screen is a simple message:
Welcome aboard the Aurora!★ One
You have been selected by the Star Prince as a potential hero, tasked with saving the universe from Malice. As a passenger I, your Construct and Conductor, will attempt to provide you with quality lodgings and safety. In return, we ask that you join your fellows in making bonds and doing your utmost to bring joy back to the Stars.
Due to the process of restoring your body, you may find some things are missing. We apologise for the inconvenience and hope to return them to you as soon as possible. Thank you for your cooperation.
Upon investigation, you'll find some basic clothes matching your team's theme in the storage provided in your room. Or, perhaps, you're wandering out of the room still undressed. Either way, downstairs you'll find someone has left a tray of cups of hot tea on the living room table. Drinking it may be simply pleasant, or it may cause you to feel a sudden need to warm up to the others in your carriage -- emotionally or physically. Welcome to the team, newbie!
☆ Two
Shortly after your arrival, you find yourself wrapped up in some monster NPC's Game. You're inside what appears to be a stone temple, with a massive golden scale on one wall. Suddenly, on one side, a heavy metal weight is dropped. As the scales tip out of balance, the floor begins to slowly disappear, brick by brick, ready to drop you -- and whoever is with you -- into an abyss. Your only hope comes in the form of an inscription on the altar:
How much do your secrets weigh?Every secret you tell causes a weight to fall onto the other side of the scale. The bigger the secret, the bigger the weight. If you can collectively tip the scales, the floor will quit dropping bricks and a door will appear to allow you back to the train. If you can't, you'll fall, seemingly forever, til you pass out. When you wake up you'll find yourself unable to lie.
★ Three
You've been in aurora for awhile -- long enough to have recovered a memory/power or two, if you lost any. And it's lucky for you: today, the area around the train has been surrounded in a strange mist that makes you feel dizzy and overly warm. Left alone, your condition will slowly degrade, with increasing lethargy and shortness of breath until you lose consciousness. The cure is easy enough, though -- touch another person and they'll see one of your memories, experiencing it as if it's their own. The effect is mutual -- you now have a piece of eachother, and you're safe from the illness... at least until you take another big breath. Good thing there's no mist inside the train!
☆ Four

Just........... stares at the guy for a moment.
Takes a sip of tea.
And then:]
Hi Here, I'm Kiryuu.
no subject
that's a dad joke.
SO NATURALLY HE L O V E S I T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ]
Young Kiryuu! I had been worried that humour may have been lost on the newer generations!
Would you like to hear a joke about paper?
[ PRODUCING: PAPER. And then without waiting for an answer: ]
You do not, as it's tearable!
[ Without missing a beat he is giving him a mighty laugh... at his own joke... ]
no subject
[Oh no. He has opened the floodgate. Kiryuu isn't sure if he's delighted or disgusted so he makes both faces at once. He probably looks like he's in pain.]
Ah.... Oooohh... Oh no...
...You okay, buddy?
i have to go
[ :D? ]
no you have to stay
Kiryuu has no idea what is going on. Which is... frankly, normal for him at this point.]
"All... Might?" Wait, is that your name? Wh... I mean I'm not judging I just think that doesn't really sound like a name. For a human???
[HE SAYS, WITH HORNS AND A TAIL HIMSELF.]
SCREAM
[ He has a real human name too, but he's not really able to give that away so freely—All Might's secret identity issue is a little different than the past ones. ]
You don't know of it?
[ ...he has the grace to not look perturbed by it. He doesn't have too much of an ego. ]
>:3c
[Sorry, Kiryuu got NO idea.]
I have never heard of it.
no subject
Is that right.... [ For a second there he doesn't sound like an oaf. ] An alias, yes! All licensed heroes choose a 'Hero Name' for themselves while in school. All Might is mine!
