BUCKLE UP: A TEST DRIVE MEME

Been feeling as if you'd sort of, kind of, maybe like to consider a new character at Poly? Haven't had the chance to figure out whether they work for you in the setting or in general?

Just start a thread for them here with:

character name | series

- in the title, and tag around! Alternatively, just comment to someone else's thread, either doing your own thing, assuming characters just met in the City, or maybe working off one of the following premises:

i. ...it's raining people! The character whom you're tagging missed the memo about perfect Fountain landings and ended up falling on your character instead.

OR

ii. ...ah, a lovely evening at a City shop or bar, when you've just realized you don't have the currency to pay your tab and you have to beg or steal it off someone else!

OR

iii. ...your characters are running up an endlessly high hill from a herd of rabid pandas.

Naturally, the meme is more than open to people who aren't currently at Poly, so pimp this to poor souls you're hoping to enable, it's the perfect time to lure'im in ♥

I can only play three people at once!

[manlypuce]

You too. [Miiildly suspicious.] Yeah? Is he a drunk English guy? 'Cause if me being here is his fault, I'm gonna kick his ass. [This is not said very convincingly.]

[dreamchild]

[Hmph!]

Those are made special for me.

d'oh...ok *sadface*

[charring]

Well, I know a drunk english guy, too. Obnoxious as hell and kind of gross. [A pause, a small smirk.] Do you know an Ed?

[notfuckingcasper]

[He just inexplicably appears. Uh oh.]

[notfuckingcasper]

A father? Specialized cookies? I don't think I've ever met anyone so small and miserable.

[alicedowntheroad]

May I help you with something?

[punchedhitler]

You thinking of changing?

[He looks a little sheepish]

Yeah, I am.

[dreamchild]

Oh~? You think so?

[notfuckingcasper]

No, ma'am.

[Here. He'll give her a smile because he's being spoken to directly.]

I don't think there is any way of helping.

[Pause.]

All of those runaway animals have me turned around.

I could drop someone...

[manlypuce]

Yeah, that sounds like Peter. He's an okay guy. [Cue expression change to 'oh fuck.'] Shit, you know Evil?

[threadsdetonators]

Not me. But this war ain't gonna last forever, and when it does I'll be out of a job. And some of us ain't looking for a husband with a pension.

Figures. You look look like you could topple over three huns soon as look at them.

[notfuckingcasper]

On second thought I think you might be a tie with the other person I'm thinking of.

...Why aren't you afraid? I bet he doesn't know that you're here.

nnnn no don't

[charring]

[She raises her eyebrow, studying the expression on his face.] Oh, yes.

[dreamchild]

You don't seem that scary.

PREPARE TO BE....SNARKED AT. BECAUSE YOU BROKE HIS HEART. ...only not.

[socoolbrewster]

No, of course not. You never fight. Mostly because that would involve actually talking to me. Kind of goes against that whole "tool" look you're going for.

[You will notice he's not trying to attack you! ...Yet. Hey, he's grown. Ish. ...He's also eaten recently, which helps.]

[knighttimeremix]

[Weird-ass alien chick just chilling and drawing on the sidewalk in chalk? He's all over this. He meanders on over to her, squatting down next to her, staring at her work, almost admiringly. Possibly, it's hard to tell with the pokerface and the shades, and the flat tone in his voice.]

Nice. Pretty neat what a couple extra limbs can lend to artwork.

[punchedhitler]

I hope this war doesn't last forever.

[He thinks about it, quietly. What would Peggy do? She'd probably stay in the service.]

Take your skills to someone who won't care. You got plenty, doing that work, right?

[notfuckingcasper]

Is that because you're a girl that's not afraid of anything? I've met one of those girls before and that was a lie.

[knighttimeremix]

[Oh look, someone who has a pokerface to rival his own.] Sup. How's it hanging?

[dreamchild]

[She laughs and swings her legs a bit while she leans back in her chair.]

I don't have to be afraid of you~

[manlypuce]

That's just-- [incoherent noise of the 'that sucks' variety] Look, you know he's a vampire, right? I already saw him and that's guy's pissed.

[charring]

Of course he's pissed and yeah, I know. He tried to eat me a few times when he first got here. [And now they're dating. Figure that one out, son.]

[waitforthewheel]

[Being clearly upset and quite possibly injured--if the gauze is anything to go by--the woman immediately catches Zhaan's attention, and she approaches from the side.

She's tall, bald, and very, very blue.]

Are you all right, child?

Sorry about the messy breakup, dude.

[manlypuce]

Look, I'm sorry about that, okay? I was a douchebag. I was the fucking king of the douchebags.

[As he sets his backpack down, there's... rattling? It almost sounds like Charley's packing stakes.]

[manlypuce]

Wait. He tried to eat you are you're cool with that?
