Test drive vroom vroom

You know how it goes. Pick a scenario, reply to the post with the number in the subject line. Ping me at haeralis/dolphinsdontmoo or haeralis#8694 on discord if you have any questions or suggestions.

One. There you are, minding your own business, taking a nice stroll through town, when something catches your eye. At first, nothing seems unusual about him; he's just sitting on a park bench reading a book. The goth look is a little distinct, but other than that there's--oh it's the giant griffin sitting on his shoulder, that's the bit that probably has people staring at him. Well, he doesn't look too bothered about it, at least?

Two. A dark alley, a wrong turn. You can retrace the steps all you want but regardless, you've ended up cornered by a pack of nasty-looking demons, all weird fuzzy pincers and sticky tentacles. There's no way out. Just as you're contemplating your options, a figure appears in the distance. Are they friend or foe?

Three. Distantly, you hear the sound of someone wheezing and gasping for air. Leaning up against the side of a nearby building by the dumpsters is a pale-looking man collapsed on the ground, one hand clutching his cane and the other his chest. He, uh. He doesn't look too good...

Four. You know that scene in Ouran where Haruhi takes Kyouya to get a cheeseburger and he doesn't know what to do with it, this is basically the dirty hobo version of that

Five. Catch-all! YOU WRITE ME A PROMPT FOR A CHANGE.

I must seem terribly weak to you, in this state. Not that I can prove you wrong.

V. You look like a breeze could snap you in half and you're literally starving.

[selfpreservationist]

Do not misunderstand. I appreciate what you're doing for me.

... but even at my full strength, I'm no match for him. You, though...

[gigadevilbreaker]

"Him"??

[v leans back in his chair]

In a few days, a demon of immeasurable power is going to rise up somewhere on this island. Untamed, it would overtake the entire place within a week. A run-of-the-mill demon hunter would be no match; a demon hunter equipped with the Yamato, however... just might be able to take him.

[There's growing alarm as he listens to V's words, but suddenly, it's replaced by wariness instead. His fists clench, on guard.]

How do you know I have the Yamato?

[selfpreservationist]

I can sense it. There's no mistaking that aura of power.

You'll need it--and whatever else you have, whatever you can get--in order to defeat this demon.

[gigadevilbreaker]

[This is still not reassuring to him! About your mysterious-ass identity!!]

'Sense it'... how, exactly? My Devil Bringer would've reacted if you were a demon.

And the fact that you know about some demon that's gonna pop up-- don't tell me. You're responsible for bringing it here.

[v stares at his hands]

... more or less, at this point.
