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.

[Wanna bet? He has the Jigsaw puppet in his sylladex at all times. You are never safe, Rose.]

[He sighs, sounding mildly frustrated.]

Yes. Again. I would appreciate the help but you don't have to if you don't want to.

[thornythaumaturge]

Well I wouldn't offer if it would be a bother! [[Once she's mildly wringed out she offers him her arm.]] Maybe you should consider getting her a harness? I always saw lots of moms walking with their toddlers on these little harness backpack things back home...

[grislytragedian]

I am heavily considering it at this point.

[He stares at her offered arm, than up to her face, then back down to her arm. He looks mildly confused. What is he supposed to do is this even allowed aaaaaa.]

[thornythaumaturge]

[[And she stares at him for a moment, then laughs and takes his arm, linking hers with it. You're so socially awkward John.]] I can knit you one!

[grislytragedian]

[He's not that socially awkward, god. He's just still getting used to seeing one of his best friends in person, okay? He doesn't want to chance doing something wrong and making a fool of himself.]

Alright, but nothing too cutesy, okay? Cheryl may be adorable, but I'm the one who has to hold the other end of the harness.

[thornythaumaturge]

[[Another laugh as she starts off down the cave, John in tow.]] Oh please. What do you think I am, some kind of girly girl? [[Sticking her tongue out at him over her shoulder.]] I promise you it will be the most badass harness ever.

[grislytragedian]

Well you wear lots of purple and you knit stuffed animals.

[So that's a resounding "yes, he does."]

[thornythaumaturge]

[[Stopping to give you a face.]]

Does that mean you are the pinnacle of manliness because you wear a suit and like gore and horror?

[grislytragedian]

No. But since when is being girly a bad thing? I mean, I don't think you are the prissy princess type or weak or anything! You're just...girly. As in you like girl colors and cute things and wearing headbands.

[Possibly digging himself in deeper here...]

[thornythaumaturge]

[[Rolling her eyes, she removes her headband for now. Just to try and prove some kind of point.]] Well that doesn't mean everything I make is going to be cutesy you know. And purple isn't exactly a 'girl' color. Purple is in the middle! It's made of pink and blue so...

[grislytragedian]

I just thought that you might be more inclined to do something more along those lines because it's for a baby salamander.

[One day, he will learn to keep his mouth shut.]

I know not everything you make is cutesy. If I thought everything was, do you think I would wear the scarf you made for me?

[thornythaumaturge]

[[Maybe, but that was a pretty good save. Putting her headband back on, she snorts with a grin.]]

That's not a very good example. You're not all that manly to begin with, remember?

[grislytragedian]

Fuck you, Rose, I am plenty manly!

[thornythaumaturge]

[[Snicker snicker snicker. Taking his hand and giving it a squeeze to get his attention back.]] Well I am glad my scarf is not too cutesy for you. What a relief! Now come on. Telling me to fuck myself is not going to get us any closer to finding your darling daughter.
