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's puzzled by many things here! like this troll from outer space that loves kittens...]

I'm a country.

[whomheloved]

A country? What's a country? [Whoops, sorry, England. Alternia's just one whole Empire that isn't split up into countries because that would defeat the purpose. Di has no idea what he means.]

[blitzkriegd]

[weeeeeell that's a bit better than having to explain exactly how he is essentially a landmass. he sighs and thinks about what to tell her]

I suppose you could say that I provide many people with a home. I am nothing without the people. I feed on their love for me, and I gain strength from them. I only hurt when they do.

[whomheloved]

[His explanation is greeted with quiet contemplation from her, and when he's done she nods her head slowly a couple of times.] You sound like a better leader than any I've ever heard of. And the only one who cares about their people more than anything else.

[blitzkriegd]

[ah. that makes him feel really warm and fuzzy. it's nice to hear when you're in the middle of a war and feel like you haven't done enough to protect anyone]

I love my people. I don't know what I'd do without them. [HOMESICK NOW]

[whomheloved]

You must miss your world a lot, don't you? [It's easy enough to see, and although she doesn't feel the same about her own world she can understand the feeling.]

[blitzkriegd]

A-ah... Yes. [must get a hold of yourself, England, old boy. you're helping a nice lady troll thing with kittensitting. no need to be sad!] This place isn't so bad, but I do wonder how my people are doing without me...

[a pause and a change of subject] Uh, forgive me for asking, but where are we taking the little beasts? [England holds up the basket. gosh they are cute, all mewling and squirming]

[whomheloved]

Oh, nowhere! We're just looking after them until their new owners turn up. I think most of them have been promised to people already. [She'll be sad to see them go, though! She's already rather attached to them all.]

[blitzkriegd]

I see! [a soft smile] Do you think you'll take one home, too?

[whomheloved]

I wish I could...but no, I probably won't. I don't intend to stay here, and leaving it behind wouldn't be fair on it at all.

[blitzkriegd]

...Yes, that's probably a wise idea. Wouldn't want to... get too comfortable...
