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!

ALWAYS WITH THAT ICON

[journeybroken]

[ There's visible disappointment on his face for a moment, but he shakes it off, a half-relieved smile taking its place on his youthful face. He wants the best for Lea, but Axel is the same person in his eyes. Heart or not, Roxas feels more comfortable knowing he's here. ]

I didn't think anybody else was even here. Do you have any idea where we are?

CRIES

[poisonousflame]

[ The disappointment isn't missed. Nor is it understood. What could have caused it...? ]

Not a clue.

[ He keeps his voice light and even. A practiced tone, masking what lies beneath.

[ "You both ... think you can do whatever you want." He'd raised his head, looked her in the eyes. "Well, I'm sick of it. Go on, you just keep running. But I'll always be there to bring you back!"

[ It was a promise. A promise that he knew he would never, ever break.

[ It doesn't matter where they are. He has to do the same thing he did with Xion.

[ By whatever means necessary, he has to get Roxas back. ]

Think we took a wrong turn?

[ Oh, the meaning behind those words.... ]

[journeybroken]

... Kind of hard to, when you're stuck inside somebody else's heart.

[ He decides to test the waters, see where Axel is in his understanding of what Roxas has been doing recently. ]

[poisonousflame]

[ A blank stare greets that statement, quickly followed by a puzzled frown. It's clear that Axel has no idea what Roxas is talking about. Seconds tick by in silence, as Axel tries to figure the statement out. But still, he comes up empty. ]

What's that supposed to mean?

[ Seriously, Roxas. What a bizarre thing to say. ]
