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!

[Yep, no smuppets. If Bro had his modus, it'd be packed with them, of course, and something as minor as the complete destruction of the Earth and his own three-year stint of death wouldn't put a crimp in his plush ambush routine. But his modus is who the fuck knows where, which is another strike against this crapsack place they're at.

He knows Dave is just casually bullshitting, but the reference to Old Yeller strikes a little uncomfortably close to home. That one asshole who can't keep up. Bro's been dead for three years, and his being near-totally informed of everything that happened in the interim no longer feels like the comfortably comprehensive grasp on things he thought he had. Not faced with Dave. Right now, he feels a lot closer to that asshole who can't keep up than the self-assured badass he used to be, or at least did a damn good job impersonating.

He figured that having watched Dave since he'd died meant he had the advantage, given that Dave hasn't seen him at all, but...well, Dave's the one who's changed. Whereas Bro hasn't really changed at all. At the very least, Bro's realizing they're a lot closer to equally off-balance than he'd thought; Dave might even be the one with the edge. At least Bro's pretty much exactly the same person as in his memories.]

Why're you askin' me? You're the one I thought was simpatico with these birdbrains. I know other you was styling the impaled look, but turns out it's not getting stabbed in the chest that imparts the avian Rosetta Stone.

[That should at least answer Dave's inner question as to whether Bro remembers.]
