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!

[ Staring is exactly what Legato Bluesummers is doing.

[ He's not moving to help. Nor does he appear to be shocked into stillness. He's simply watching the man bleed. Watching, as the man's eyes struggle to open.

[ And why wouldn't he watch? There are very few things more satisfying than watching the life fade from a human's eyes. ]

[Then he'll also get to watch as, after the struggle continues, those green eyes flicker open, a little steadier.]

[His hand clenches in the grass, gasping raggedly as he tries hauling himself onto his elbows.]

[It would be nice if he could heal himself. Really nice.]

[ Even as the man struggles to rise, Legato doesn't move to assist. He just keeps on watching, noting that this is indeed a very determined human. The effort, however, will likely be entirely fruitless. ]

Are you going to die?

[ The monotone voice is oddly soothing, but its complete lack of concern is undeniable. ]

[He's... distantly surprised by the voice. It's nothing he remembers. Nothing familiar -- nothing that should be there.]

[His head sort of flops back to the ground with a grunt of pain. And his voice is strained, though he still makes an effort to be polite.]

I... certainly hope not.

[ The man can speak. Perhaps he's not quite as close to death as first suspected. ]

Why not? [ Humanity's obsession with clinging to life always disgusted him. ] Are you afraid to die?
