Save the Earth Testrun

[A]

[You're minding your own business, probably in a park, when a cat comes bounding by intent on some prey. A stray, maybe? But she's an awfully pretty one...

Well, it probably doesn't matter, right?]

Stop wiggling!

[--Wait. Did that cat just talk?]

[B]



[There's a young girl staring at the street with interest as the various cars pass by. But despite being at a crosswalk, she hasn't actually hit the button.

Instead, she darts out into the traffic, causing an uproar of horns and squealing tires. If your character is fast enough, they might be able to catch her before she gets hurt...!]

[C]



[You were probably in the middle of explaining something on the network when this girl chimes in, looking puzzled.]

What's a _____?

[It doesn't even have to be a particularly difficult or complicated word. Rather, it seems this girl isn't all that familiar with certain basic human concepts...]

Comments

[trainwrecking]

Maybe not yet... Could I at least get you some gloves or something?

[allformii_ko]

But I don't need them!

[trainwrecking]

You won't even humor me? Our skin is sensitive, unless you have intense callouses..!

[What is with this girl? It's almost like she just fell out of the sky with no idea how to function.]

Mnn... can I see your hands?

[allformii_ko]

[She tilts her head, looking both confused and somewhat put-upon. But she will obligingly hold out her hands.

Petite and perfect. These definitely don't look like the hands of someone who catches snakes without even gloves to protect them.]

Like that?

[trainwrecking]

[For a moment, he looks genuinely surprised. He had been expecting cuts, maybe some scars, bite marks, callousing... not tiny princess hands.

And then he exhales deeply, slowly, and his hand quickly greets his face.]

Of course... I should've known you were trying to mess with me. Well, congrats, you got your reaction.

[allformii_ko]

[Now she's just outright pouting.]

What are you even talking about?

[trainwrecking]

Ehh--why the reaction?

[Isn't it obvious?]

Your hands are in perfect condition! You couldn't possibly be hunting with those...

[allformii_ko]

[She opens her mouth as if about to make an obvious retort before seeming to think better of it. Instead, she goes with:]

--What's wrong with them?

[trainwrecking]

Nothing. They're perfect.

[That's just it...]

[allformii_ko]

Then what's the problem?!

[She's failing to see what's wrong here.]

[trainwrecking]

That's the point, it's--! I'm going to have to explain it, aren't I.

[YEEEEEP.]

How can you possibly hunt with your hands if they're so petite and perfect-looking?

[allformii_ko]

[It's another one of those odd moments. She looks like she's on the verge of replying when she abruptly stops to think about her answer.]

I just do! Just because I hunt doesn't mean my hands have to get dirty!

[trainwrecking]

You've really never gotten hurt or bit or scraped?

[What even is this girl? It's like talking to a child...]

You know miss, uh... [Did she give a name? He isn't sure what to call her.]

[allformii_ko]

Mimi.

[Is her name. Apparently.]

And no, I haven't!

[trainwrecking]

Okay, then let's see it, Mimi.

[You know. Put your money where your mouth is.]

[allformii_ko]

See what?

[No she does not know, apparently.]

[trainwrecking]

[This is all just one big exercise in patience, isn't it?]

See... that you can hunt and still look perfect. Prove it.

[allformii_ko]

...

......

Wh-why should I show you?!

[Perfect save.]

[trainwrecking]

I... guess you don't have to, but I'm having a really hard time believing you otherwise. And I showed you how to do something earlier.

[It's only fair.]

[allformii_ko]

I don't feel like it!

[What is fairness when you're a cat.]

[trainwrecking]

Then I can't believe you. Sorry.

[That's all there is to it.]

Uh, catching "things" aside... are there other things you're good at?

[allformii_ko]

[...Well, she's good at cuddling, but-]

I'm not going to cuddle with you!

[trainwrecking]

[UM.]

W-what?! Where did that come from?!

[He's not exactly sure why he's getting such angry reactions...]

[allformii_ko]

I'm good at cuddling. But I'm not going to cuddle with you.

[Obviously!]

[trainwrecking]

Everyone is good at cuddling...

[Maybe. Maybe he isn't?]

A-anyway, I wasn't expecting you to! We just met.
