lostplayers | Test Drive Meme

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 similarly has affection for olive-bloods. His best bud is one, and for all his whiny faults, he's still a good friend to have. He drops down in a crouch besides her, peering at the little creatures.]

Fuck. Kinda all blows a brother's pan that they can get that fuckin' small.

Oh, smaller than this sometimes! These must be a couple of weeks old at least. Though I think they're never quite this tiny on Alternia either.

[She holds out a black and white spotted kitten to him to be petted, grinning and giggling as the others continue climbing all over her.]

[He touches the kitten with curious fingers, his eyes growing wide. The fur is far, far softer than that of his lusus. The ol' Goat has some soft patches of fur too, especially right up on the belly, but most of it is simply coarse and thick. Certainly nice and warm! But not as softer as this kitten.]

Goddamn. What a soft lil' motherfucker.

Isn't he? Here, why don't you hold him, then you can hug him as well. Be gentle, but don't worry too much, they're a lot stronger than they look.

[And Gamzee is going to find his arms full of purrbeast in three, two...]

[haha, wow. That sure suddenly is an armful of wriggly purrbeast. Gamzee tries to find the best way to hold the squirmy kitten to his chest, his face utterly thrilled. He isn't even trying to hide his enjoyment as some of their species might. It's all there for everyone to see.]

Aww, hey lil' man. Or sis. How do you even all know what they be?

Little man, I think. Usually all kinds of furbeasts are different from trolls because the males have their bulges on the outside, although when they're this young sometimes it's hard to see or tell.

[She beams down affectionately at a small tabby attempting to chew on a piece of her tunic.]

I wonder if they're hungry...

[What, having your bulge on the outside? Always? Wow, that sounds really weird and kind of like a recipe for disaster.

He finally manages to get a good enough hold on the kitten that it won't go squirming off, rubbing happily under its chin to hear its purr.]

Should we get them some shit to grub on?

[It does indeed, but Di has spent enough time hunting and observing animals that she's simply used to it as another of the facts of life now.]

That wouldn't be a bad idea, I think...oh, that one really likes you! I couldn't get him to purr at all, but listen to him now.

Hehe. The lil' man all likes to being rubbed in the same fuckin' spot as what does my goat do.

[Right under the chin. It is Gamzee's super secret weapon for getting out of punishments.]

Oh, your lusus was a goat? Mine was purrbeast too! I guess it's why I like them so much, although I didn't really know her for very long...

[She smiles sadly for a moment; she'd gotten over the loss sweeps ago but she did still feel as though something important was missing sometimes.]

[Gamzee gives her a faintly pitying look. Losing your lusus must be tough. Which is why he is happy his is very much alive and intending to stay that way for roughly forever.

Or until whoops, sgrub. Either or.]

Yeah. Mountain goat. He can get his fuckin' gruff on with the best of them, but he be a good lusus.

[Di likes the sound of that and settles down with the kittens on her lap, looking curious.]

Will you tell me more about him?

[He copies her actions, sitting across of her, still stroking the kitten's fur.]

Sure. Anything you all got your interest at for knowing?

Anything, really! What kind of things did he teach you, and where did you both live - in the mountains? What's it like there?

Yeah. Way up. He taught me all I gotta have my understand on at for surviving there. Taught me the best ways to get my climb on, where to put my hooves and shit so I ain't go and crack my nug against some fuckin' rock.

It sounds like you have a wonderful lusus. [She smiles, soft and approving, and a bit nostalgic as well for her own dear lusus, the comfort of her warm soft fur when Di was barely past pupation.]

Yeah.

[The old goat is pretty wonderful. Gamzee has good memories hiding in his huge goat-beard, letting the white fur hang about him like a curtain.]

How about yours?

Mine...she taught me to hunt, to stalk and stay in the shadows, to defend myself so I wouldn't become something else's prey. We'd hide in the caves during the day and keep each other safe and warm, and she'd wake me up in the evening with food. [She smiles softly as some of the memories fade in a little more, being burrowed deep in soft white fur, her face being roughly licked as she's groomed.]
