TEST DRIVE MEME: The First (Fixed Setting)

TEST DRIVE MEME
HOW TO: Post with your character in what will be a fixed setting for the first round! Do a top level, respond to others! If your thread is substantial, it can be used as a first-person on your application! Remember that this is not game canon, and everyone is welcome!

You were just ushered into a large park by a murder of loud and insistent crows who somehow manage to get the gate shut behind you before they fly off. The park is awfully green for such a dead-looking town. It's dusk, and things are starting to get a little noisy at the edge of the tall iron fence that surrounds the area. There are gazebos, cobblestone pathways, gentle slopes, and of course, the lake and the island with the large, dead tree. It's full of crows, and if you stare at them, they'll all stare back. Feel free to take a load off on one of the many iron and wood benches, but the gates to the city are closed!

This does not, however, mean you are barred from ghost-watching as night progresses. Remember, they won't see you!

[There are birds staring.]

[He sort of got over the whole sudden transportation problem fairly quickly. Since there were more important things than that at work right now. Like why these stupid birds keep staring at him. Because when you turn into a car as nice as his, bird swarms are lethal to your paint job.]

[He makes shooing motions. Which is totally going to help matters.]

[Pay no attention to the giant silver robot flicking his hands at the birds, with no regard for the sudden change in scenery.]

[totallystoppable]

[Nah, Grif's going to pay all the attention to giant silver robot. Not because giant robots are interesting, because they're not, but because he's really got nothing better to do]

Yeah man, you shoo those birds. Show them who's boss.

[stabbywheelfeet]

[He all but whirls, staring accusingly at the speaker. His head draws back.]

Who are you?

[totallystoppable]

[flinches back a bit, but hey, no guns are being pointed at him, and that's all that matters]

Who do I look like, I'm your fairy godmother. I'm here to grant you three wishes and send you off to the ball to marry the prince. I hope you like petticoats, because with your figure, you're gonna need 'em.

[stabbywheelfeet]

[His head tilts one way, then the other, regarding the human.]

[What was he even talking about.]

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

[totallystoppable]

[Honestly? He's mostly just running his mouth]

Well, that's too bad because you've only got until midnight to kiss the prince and seal the deal, and it's gonna take a lot of time to get you into that ballgown. [he narrows his eyes, stroking his chin thoughtfully] I'd say you're about a size ten... Which is a shame because the only dresses I have on hand are a size 5 and a size 8, so you're going to have to suck in that gut.

[stabbywheelfeet]

If you're just babbling, then there's no reason for me to keep talking to you.

I have a war to get back to.

[totallystoppable]

[snort] Yeah, well so do I, but I don't see that happening any time soon. For one, this does NOT look like the middle of a jungle, which was where I happened to be before those weirdass crows showed up. So if you've got a way out of here, I sure would like to know it.

[stabbywheelfeet]

I don't have one yet. Because I've just started working.

So run along. Let me think.

[journeybroken]

... Are you afraid of birds?

[ He seems... confused about the 8' robot, but he's met stranger folks, so he's not gonna judge. ]

[stabbywheelfeet]

Of course not! I just don't want them anywhere near my paint!

[He hasn't even noticed the size difference. He's too indignant.]

[journeybroken]

Your paint? What are they gonna do to your paint, spill it? [ This is Roxas, looking around for cans of paint. ]

[stabbywheelfeet]

No, they're going to leak all over it and ruin it. That's what.

[journeybroken]

... What are you talking about?

[stabbywheelfeet]

Birds.

They leak.

And it ruins paint.

How hard is that to understand?

[journeybroken]

But there's no paint! [ He's gesturing to the ground around them. ]

[stabbywheelfeet]

It's on me.

Are you blind?

[journeybroken]

... Oh, that's what you meant. [ And now he's just. Staring at you. ]

[stabbywheelfeet]

Yes. That is exactly what I meant. How good of you to notice.

[journeybroken]

[ It's been a while since someone hit him with this much sass. ]

I don't think they'd leak on you if they weren't flying over you. So you probably shouldn't make them fly.

[stabbywheelfeet]

[He's made of sass, Roxas, seriously.]

Or, they could fly off away from me. I'd win, then.

[journeybroken]

Yeah, but what if they don't? I mean, they pushed you in here, why wouldn't they do it on purpose?

[stabbywheelfeet]

Oh, they better not. I'll cut them to ribbons if they try.

[journeybroken]

How? They'll be flying.

[stabbywheelfeet]

I'll figure something out.
