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!

[mastery]

[ he's no stranger to ending up on other worlds, some less pleasant than others. he's a master now, isn't he? he's supposed to help save the worlds, even obviously desolate ones like this. but he has a feeling this is something else entirely.

several moments spent testing the iron fence prove to be unhelpful; it doesn't budge and he can't find a lock either. not that it'd make a difference, since it seems like he can't summon way to dawn anymore. he's weaponless and magic-less, stuck in an unfamiliar place. he scans the surroundings outside the fence, watching people walk by who either seem to not care about their predicament or have something more important to attend to. or both. ]

Excuse me. [ he calls out to one of them as they walk past to no avail. he frowns and tries again, reaching his arm out to tap their shoulder, their hand, something. ]

Hey--...

[ his hand passes through them. he draws back quickly, as if burned, glancing at his hand. ]

[journeybroken]

Ghosts. It'd be nice if they could hear you, right, Riku?

[ Roxas stands several feet behind him, hands in his pockets, watching him trying his hardest. ]

I tried that, too. [ He knows that seeing him is going to surprise the taller boy, but at this point, Roxas isn't sure that's not what he wants to happen. ]

i'm sorry he's just lurking here orz

[ If Axel were to make a list of people he'd rather not see right now, Riku's name would be somewhere near the top. Not because he doesn't want to encounter the Keyblade wielder, but because he doesn't want to encounter him without a weapon. As it stands, he's still had no luck in summoning his chakrams, or even in creating fire.

[ So, when he notices Riku trying to gain the attention of the ... things on the other side of the fence, he's far from pleased. The redhead sticks to the shadows, eyes narrowed, and watches Riku's struggle. The more he watches, the more wary he becomes.

[ The Keyblade wielder looks ... very different from the last time Axel saw him. Granted, that was only a glimpse, and Riku was wearing one of the Organization's coats at the time. But it hasn't been so long since he saw Riku in Castle Oblivion, has it? So, why does he look so much older...?

[ For the moment, Axel stays out of sight, simply observing. He's not about to go pick a fight without knowing his chances. ]

[lastcharge]

[Oh.

He hadn't cared that the people outside didn't notice, but watching someone try to get their attention and have it literally go through, now Vanitas is interested. Lurking a few strides away, but allowing his footsteps to make noise when he walks up to that fence as well, Vanitas just tips his helmet a bit, before turning it to look over.

You look kind of... earthy. Gross.]

Did you miss? [He knows he didn't miss. Do it again so that uncomfortable look comes back.]
