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!

[don't repeat it in polite society kid, or Grif's gonna get an earful]

Yeah, pretty much. [he heaves a great, heavy sigh] I mean, what else am I going to? They've got my armor, which is pretty impressive for a bunch of birds, and I'm not entirely sure how that happened.

[journeybroken]

You had armor? They got my keyblade, too, but that doesn't even make sense. I'm supposed to be able to get it back no matter what.

[totallystoppable]

Yeah, really awesome, orange armor. [pauses] Actually, it was pretty shitty, nothing really seemed to work in it anymore, but I've been pretty much living in it for the past few years, so you know how it is.

[journeybroken]

... Not really. [ How am I supposed to know how that is. ]

Isn't it harder to move in armor?

[totallystoppable]

[You're supposed to read his mind, obviously]

Uh, no, that would defeat the purpose of wearing armor, duh. Like, what good is wearing armor if you can't even move in it? That would basically be like making yourself a huge target, which is stupid. Jeeze kid, haven't you been to one of them medieval fairs before?

[journeybroken]

A what?

[ Nope. ]

[totallystoppable]

[There's a moment where Grif's just like "what" right back at him, and then feels kind of bad about it.]

Oh, I guess colony kids don't have those kind of things.

[journeybroken]

Colony kids? [ He's looking at you like you're crazy now. ]

[totallystoppable]

Uh, yeah? Kids not from Earth. From like, Chorus and Harvest and like.... I dunno, those really dinky places that I never paid attention to in class.

[journeybroken]

I'm not from that world. You travel to different ones?

[totallystoppable]

Well, not really, but I could if I really felt like it, I guess. I've been to different worlds, but it was mostly because these Freelancer assholes were kinda forcing us too. And there was that one time I got promoted, and that was cool.

[journeybroken]

... Congratulations?

[totallystoppable]

I guess. [shrugs one shoulder] Sarge kind of ruined it by showing up, but whatever.

So where are you from?

[journeybroken]

... I travel a lot. [ He shrugs. You can't exactly just say "I'm from someone else's heart". ]
