Test Drive Meme v.2

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.

...this place kind of sucks.

[It's not really a complaint though, just an observation, and Asagi paces the central area that connects the three bedrooms before moving to try the doorknobs and see which is open.

If she's lucky, she'll escape having to deal with 'roommates' for a while yet.]

[In which Vivi practices a character that doesn't have icons yet... BEAR WITH ME.

Anyway, A'aladash -- or Aala for short -- is a tall, imposing, red-shaded Kra'shak. She also happens to be the chief of police, but she doesn't look particularly official right now. She's in her civvies, which amounts to a loose tunic and pants with enough room for her tail to lash behind her, nothing identifiable on her marking her as a cop.

She points a claw at a passerby -- you.] Hey. One of those newbies, right? I'm going to ask you some questions. Come sit with me.

[Apparently you don't get a choice.]

[For all that she's content to let the mirror get a good glimpse of her, Sis doesn't actually bother speaking. Instead she adjusts her glasses impassively, and then switches to text.]

While I cannot say I do not appreciate the effort put into bringing me here, or the renewed chance at life, I fear I cannot face this without a healthy dose of skepticism. Things like this do not usually come without a price, though I doubt it's honestly one so simple as 'helping out' should we so choose to do so.

However, I will do my best to keep my cynicism to myself until such a time as a hearty and thorough 'I told you so' is warranted.

In the meantime, does anyone know a place that may need a writer or an editor? I'm afraid I'm a little too used to my usual accommodations to tolerate the free rooming we've so generously been given for any longer than absolutely necessary.

[She could not believe the dumpy place they had dared to assign her upon her arrival here. What did they take her for some sort of fucking peasant? She scoffed at the collective hive they had expected her to live in. Still she walk in through the narrow hallway that led to her new respite block and swung the door open.

It would do until she managed to find something better. She's dealt with worse luck than this and who knows? Perhaps she could turn her luck around.]

[ OOC: Please forgive the lack of icons! I am still putting things together for this boy. ]

[Getting a job? Bah. No way. He might be moving in somewhere, or exploring. Feel free to choose]

[Heavy sigh. Well, another day, another surprise trip to an alternate universe. At least, that's what he chalks it up to. The only item he's got on him besides his clothes is his cross saber, pocket watch, and cell phone. Obviously, his phone has no reception here.]

I suppose this is "Home sweet home."

[hm... HMMMM?

she's staring at the quest board, hands folded behind her back, an expression between a pout and a scowl sitting on her face. these jobs look really hard! and they don't pay a lot. isn't there anything that has to do with cooking? or what about a kiss and hug booth? she could do that really well!

Italy sighs and closes her eyes. maybe she'll just pick something randomly]

[Riku's slowly getting used to the strange ecosystem around here, but there's still a few things that take a lot of getting used to- the food, for example. Or, to be more accurate, finding familiar food.

Really, he shouldn't be so surprised that great big lobster-things don't give you any milk. At least they had flour, so far.

A low whine and a despondent flutter of wings remind him exactly why he's in this predicament.]

I know, I know. We'll figure something out. [He reaches down to reassure both Dream Eaters that they'll get food--- eventually.]

Sora, any luck?

Regardless of where he is or what laws have been broken to get him there, Nicholas is still first and foremost a cop. A cop with plenty of time on his hands, as he is not a member of the police service here -which frustrates him to no end, because really, if he is going to be abducted to assist anywhere they could at least let him do the work he knows best- and nothing in particular to investigate. So he's acquired a copy of the city's legal code and is occupying a seat outside a café with a glass of cranberry juice to study the laws.

Of course, if he sees anyone obviously breaking any sort of laws, he will flag them down. Although Nicholas is just suspicious enough of everyone and everything that even a person who simply looks out of place is going to be regarded with suspicion, if not outright stopped.

He'll likely end up making quite the scene of he keeps this up and stops the wrong person without having the authority of Darstone's police service to back him up.

((ooc: Feel free to either try to stop him, be someone he accosts, or come up with some other reason to approach))
