Testrun Prompts
I.
For those looking for an evening of marvel or romance, many are drawn to the Descanso Gardens and their Enchanted: Forest of Lights exhibit. The gardens are lit up in beautiful colors with lit paths to accentuate the beautiful scenery.
What brings you here tonight? Are you on a date? Did you get suckered into watching someone’s kids (or have kids of your own) and are trying to get them through something nice without them killing each other or themselves? Or perhaps you are stalking a potential target and trying to hear some of their conversations. The darkened gardens have plenty of places to slip away and converse - or listen - undetected after all.
II.
With Lunar New Year just around the corner, the Asian American Expo is once again returning to LA. This massive event takes place over a huge expanse of 8 exhibition halls, with a wealth of vendors, three entirely different food courts representing a number of Asian cultures within LA, exhibits celebrating anime and manga, there’s something for just about everyone here.
Are you yourself Asian American, or even an immigrant wanting to celebrate your culture? Are you an American Otaku wanting to geek out about the latest anime and manga? Do you really, really like Dim Sum? This Expo is the perfect place for you!

While the temperatures hovered around a brisk, but not too chilly 70s, there are still places in balmy Los Angeles to get a taste of a winter wonderland, artificial as it. In the financial district of the city is the Pershing ice skating rink, where not only one can do a triple axle or circle the ice to the one’s frosty heart’s content, it often host DJ events, disco nights, and even curling - if you want to know what the fuss is all about. Now the question is, how good are you at skating, and how much do you care if others see your skill (or lack therefore of?)
IV.
Filming on location is standby for feature films, but nothing beats the gritty mystique (and the cost savings!) of filming in Los Angeles, and one Dustin Buboire, teenage song sensation has decided to have his film debut on your street, a dream for fans of the would-be actor, but a nightmare for anyone looking for a bit of peace and quiet, what camp do you fall under?

Los Angeles is not a city known to major temperature variances. With summers reaching upwards to 100 degrees and winters hovering around 60 to 70 degrees, it is generally warm, arid and hot. However, it is a desert, and when rains come to the desert, they often come quite hard. So it is that today it is raining, pouring, really, with a flash flood advisory expected to extend for the next few days at least, highly unusual for the area.
And with this torrential rain, that means Mementos is awash in powerful shadows. With the streets awash in water, traffic is more nightmarish than usual, accidents are far more likely and tempers are flaring. In Mementos itself, this translates to an increase in the incessant, distant honking noise that pervades it, and with more shadows, some of whom will begin the battle in a frenzied rage. Unfortunately, a Phantom Thief’s work is never done. Are you in Mementos to train? Change some hearts? Either way, it’s going to be rough going.

[ No parents. Unwanted. Shifted from home to home. ]
"Naomi Sato." It's the only thing I can identify about myself. A connection to something... It's important, isn't it?
no subject
[ His tone sounds a bit less harsh than the actual words he's saying, implying the obvious. He does not want to. ]
Who cares about the past or connecting to others? It's pointless.
no subject
[ Of course she'll cling to it. When you only have crumbs, you hoard them. Because you never know if you'll get anything else. ]
no subject
[ ... His grip tightens a bit on his hip. ]
You either get lucky or you don't. But other people will define that luck, not you. It doesn't matter what you do. All you can really do is try to forget. ... People are... a pain.
no subject
[ Which might be weird but. Well. That's how she feels. ]
no subject
You don't need to make your own luck if you're at least competent at what you do.
[ This might be his way of saying, "you're probably good at something, luck doesn't matter." ]
no subject
[ Naomi you are amazing at physical things, shut up. ]
...I'm not really all that talented, I don't think. And I don't even have a good school, anyway, so it's not like I'm going to ever escape being the bottom of the barrel.
no subject
[ He says that, being basically the heir to an important family and their business. ]
If you lack confidence, it'll show in your ability. Either put your all into something, or don't bother. Even if you don't want to do it, at least you're going to be competent at it.
