Test Drive Meme v.2

[annihilistic]

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! 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 Job Hunting. If you don't want to stay in the assigned housing, then you're going to need cash, and if you want cash, you're going to need a job- lucky for you there seem to be plenty of those on the job board. ⑵ Arriving/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.

[ Karkat recognizes that expression, the kind of fumbling uncertainty and quiet frustration with the world that he's learned to recognize in his line of work. It instantly presses that little button in his blood pusher that gets him dragging himself up every night, going out to help the world one sad little circumstance at a time. He sets his book aside, rising immediately - reaches for his sickle to buckle around his waist on reflex, then catches himself and puts it back down. It's not easy to ignore that constant alarm drilled into his head every minute of his training. The world is dangerous, the world is trying to kill you and you'd better hope you can distract it long enough to make it stop trying...

He clutches at the ring he wears on a chain under his shirt, just to make sure it's still there, and once assured of that goes over to the door with an encouraging smile. ]

Sure, Red. We all go a little pan-rotted sometimes. Can't live with family, can't live without 'em, right?

[ He slips out of the door, closing it quietly behind him, and shoves his hands into his pockets. ]

So, where are headed for this fun little jaunt? Please say there are no giant crabs involved, because I'm having a nice day for once and I'd hate to break that little winning streak. I've had enough of giant crabs to last me several lifetimes.

[Willow wouldn't have thought anything of him bringing his sickle with him-- in her mind, it was crazy to go anywhere unarmed if you had a weapon you knew how to use. Never sure what was going to happen. But she doesn't say anything, just feels a shiver of nostalgia at that Red. When was the last time she saw Spike? The scary part is, she doesn't know.]

There are no crabs, I promise, [she says promptly, backing up to give him space before turning for the stairs.] I thought we could head to the library? I need to return some books, and I wanted to get the next in my series of exceedingly long-winded treatises on magical theory.

Also it helps prevent the, um, aforementioned pan-rotting. Not that I don't like everyone, [she goes on quickly, her nervousness making her sentences get longer and longer,] I'm just... getting used to everything.
