Test Drive Meme

[darstone]

Comment here with your characters that you're thinking of bringing into LR, and tag around with other people to see how suitable they'd be for the game! As a note, these threads may be used for application samples, which are opening August 11th. So get your samples ready ahead of time with this meme! However, even if all participants are accepted with those characters, these threads will not be game canon. This meme is taking place in the setting of Darstone, so while you may leave your comment blank, I'd like to recommend you set up a scene or two in your initial comment. Some suggested settings are provided below, but make up whatever you'd like based off the setting pages! ⑴ Marketplace. There's a lot to do in the market-- not just buying goods and window shopping, but sitting down for a cup of coffee at an outdoor table, or getting a drink at a bar. ⑵ Housing. You've just gotten here and finally made it to your assigned apartment, but it turns out you have roommates, and they're one of them. ⑶ Adventuring. Whether out into the surrounding caves or taking a boat onto the lake, you're adventuring, maybe on a quest. Whoever's with you might be a member of your party-- or they might be trying to beat you to the reward. ⑷ Snow. What's snow doing in a cave? Isn't this weird? Well, Darstone is situated under a frosty mountain peak, and from time to time the local mages like to simulate the weather that's going on up above. That means there's some very light, fluffy snow falling from the cave ceiling right now.

[He gives a little snort, discomfited by this idea] That's the most likely explanation.

...Though I'll say, despite being a sea dweller, you are more pleasant in this incarnation, so far.

[anaglyphiic]

What do you mean "despite"? ... Is this old landdweller/seadweller rivalry stuff? No one even talks about in that anymore, get off your high horse.

[highb100d_seeker]

[He stiffens] Perhaps that's true where you come from, but I... I'm not on any high horse!

[anaglyphiic]

You're acting like it.

[highb100d_seeker]

[Oh. Equius stiffens a bit. Oh is this what's going on here?] Well, if I am, then what shall you do about it, highblood?

[anaglyphiic]

[...Pause.]

I don't know. Tell you to cut the shit. You're no better than anyone else.

[highb100d_seeker]

[He smiles a little, though there's challenge there] Well?

I almost don't want to continue this so we can play it out in game.

[anaglyphiic]

... Well what. Cut the shit. I'm telling you now.

LOL, I'm having this problem all over sob

[highb100d_seeker]

[Oh... Equius rubs the back of his neck, then skims his palms down his shorts]

Is that a command?

o well...

[anaglyphiic]

... Yes. It is.

Hehehe

[highb100d_seeker]

Ah... well. [His face is turning blue and he twists a lock of hair around a finger] What is my punishment, then? Because I don't believe I am capable of getting off my high hoofbeast.

[anaglyphiic]

[He's smirking. He's laughing at him. He thinks Sollux can't do shit to him. Sollux frowns, glaring.]

You think I can't fight you, that's it, right? Or that I won't.

[He activates his strife specibus, and suddenly his trident is in hand.]

Still think I won't?

[highb100d_seeker]

[The eyes widen behind the glasses, and he's torn for a moment, eager and a little fearful at the same time]

No, I do believe it, highblood. [And he bares his throat a little, baring a line of scarring around his throat] Would it please you if I knelt?

WHY DID I NOT GET THIS NOTIF

[anaglyphiic]

... Uh.

I... Guess?

[This is getting a little weird now.]

OH NOES

[highb100d_seeker]

[Weird is possibly Equius Zahhak's middle name. He drops to his knees, his breathing coming a little rapidly and his broken teeth bared]

[anaglyphiic]

... Does this mean you'll stop acting superior to lowbloods?

[highb100d_seeker]

Uh... That's truly what you wish?

[anaglyphiic]

Yes. I'd like equality for all trolls. Except yellowbloods, because they're assholes.

[highb100d_seeker]

[He looks up, brows furrowed] Why do you want that?

[anaglyphiic]

Because we're no better than them, and they no better than us. Why should we treat members of our own society and species differently? There's nothing wrong with them.

[highb100d_seeker]

Uh... [He's really confused] If you say so...

[anaglyphiic]

I do say so. And you'll uphold my ruling, because I'm the Heir Apparent.

[highb100d_seeker]

You...what?

[anaglyphiic]

What?

[highb100d_seeker]

You are the Heir? A tyrian blood?
