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!

[Getting chased by crows. That's a new (and slightly emasculating) one. Hitchcock would be proud he survived that encounter.

But hey, civilization.

He's used to abandoned places. Abandoned towns. But the birds? As Miles makes his way to the lake, he can see them in the tree. All black, their shadows shifting, silhouetted dramatically against the lowering sun. It'd make a nice shot - so he pulls out his camcorder, zooming in on the tree. Not even caring that the damn things seem to be glaring daggers at him.]

Stare all you want, I got you on camera.

[Yeah. He's crouching down to get a better shot and muttering to himself. In public. Not that he's aware anyone's around, yet.]

... What is that?

[ Hey, when did this kid get here? He's pointing to the camcorder, though. ]

[Watching the birds before the person appearing near the lake, having been having a staring contest, half of them have shifted to this guy and for a long minute, he's quiet. Out of sight off to the far right, and quiet. Then he's approaching silently from behind, eyeing that equipment in Miles' hand and this helmet just tips.]

Why take pictures?
