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.

I invented an awesome new skill out of it, so I can't complain.

[There's a beat, and then she says insistently,] We're not going to sit around here all day, are we? I said I'd show you around. Let's go!

[Derek nods and smiles a little. Well for being in such a shitty place, at least there were some up beat people around like Toph here. He stands, dusting himself off before resting his hands in his leather jacket pockets..]

Lead the way.

[fieldtrip]

[Toph gleefully hops to her feet and her makes her way unerringly toward the door, leaving it open behind her for him.]

Anything you really want to see? Otherwise we should start at the market.

[puppysitting]

[And he follows her right out the door, tugging the door shut behind him.]

The market sounds like a good place to start.

[fieldtrip]

Market it is. First we have to go through the snooty district. It's a real snooze fest, so I try to get through it as quick as possible.

[Heading for the stairs...]

[puppysitting]

[He flinches at that and speaks up]

Do you... need some help?

[It felt awkward asking but. It's a blind little girl. There's no way she can walk down stairs on her own! She had no cane, no nothing to help her know what's coming up in front of her.

Then again, she navigated the room pretty well. Could have been from memorization too.]

[fieldtrip]

[In a sweetly innocent, yet clearly sarcastic voice,] Oh, would you please? I'm so helpless and weak on my own, I could never manage.

[Toph stomps over to the stairs and starts down them at a good clip, completely ignoring him in sudden irritation.]

I'm fine. I never need help.

[puppysitting]

[Color him impressed! He raises both eyebrows, watching her walk down the stairs with ease. Derek snaps out of it and walks down the stairs behind her a few steps.]

Sorry, I just thought I would ask.

[fieldtrip]

Yeah, yeah. You and everyone else.

I know I look like I need babysitting, but I don't, okay? [She sounds very much like any other defensive twelve year old in that instant, much as she's trying to protest otherwise.]

[puppysitting]

[Derek lifts his hands defensively and shrugs his shoulders]

Alright, I get your point. You can handle yourself, that's a good trait to have. [He will admit it, she did like her determination. It was rare to see in some people.]
