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!

[He looked over at him, reading his expression as the man mentions the time as affecting them differently. Sure, could get behind that. Though the mention of virtual creations, well, he had no idea what something virtual was. Though he did recognize the man had no idea what the fountain of Youth was.]

I will admit, I do not quite follow.

[Waving a hand dismissively, Fox shrugged at the words.]

"It's a little hard to explain in laymen's terms. In a way, it's like your 'wizards'. Illusions programmed to follow a pattern or instructions.

Fake princes. Things like that."

[It's funny, sometimes, how easy it is to roll with it. But honestly? He's seen stranger things in the Worldnet.]

"... Given you were here first, I don't suppose you've gathered any relevant details about this place? Other than the 'gods' taking your... connection, of course."

[johannesthetraitor]

I have heard illusionists talk of the ability to construct such things, if they had some sort of web to work together on. I suppose your wizards are much better connected then. I assure you am not fake, only disgraced.

Information? I have only filled in the gaps from what I can assume. Something god like gave us the rings and took the powers of those here. In my world, the... Fountain of Youth as it was called, was a source of ultimate power. For most, it was just a way to gain immortality. But... it and its dungeon was more than that. I bonded with it though. I'm not sure if it was to protect itself or I had taken control of it...

To rip that out of me and bring me back from death, that's why I'm certain the creatures who brought us here are certainly powerful.

[There's something funny in the way Johannes says it; a web they're connected to... haah. The sensation of his network ID - just a phantom feeling, honestly - draws a quirk to his lips. The story the ex-prince gives him, too, is a bit bewildering. It's practically straight out of a game, in his opinion.

The fountain of youth, a dungeon...]

"Everything certainly seems on the side of impossible, here. Powerful seems about right, but if they've brought us here... I wonder what they intend for us to do."

[Gaze returning again to the crows, he shakes his head. Surely, just living here can't be the answer. He... has far too much to do for that to be the case. Not to mention this place is eerie at best.]
