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 ♥

Jane Foster ☇ Thor (Marvel)

[astrophysicists]

[asofwar]

[Go ahead and fall in her lap, Jane. Much better treatment in here.]

[astrophysicists]

[ Well, since it's right there. Falling into it and jumping up immediately. ] Oh God, I'm so sorry!

[asofwar]

That's...fine. Unexpected, but at least a better option to the Fountain.

[astrophysicists]

[ Stare. Blink. What is— where is this? ] The Fountain?

[asofwar]

Yes. [She points to the Fountain behind Jane.] That one. People tend to fall in.

[astrophysicists]

[ Turning to look at it, then back at Sif. ] Of course. [ p a u s e ] Where is this place?

[asofwar]

You are in the City. A world between worlds, of sorts.

[astrophysicists]

A world between worlds. [ That— is incredibly interesting. How does it work? ] How did I get here?

[asofwar]

You were pulled here. I am uncertain of how it works, still, but the Deities are told to control it.

[astrophysicists]

The Deities. Where can I find them? [ She has to go talk to them. About science. ]

i laughed so hard ♥ jaaaane

[asofwar]

In their gilded tower. [Even if. You know. It's not gilded.

She looks at this (breakable looking) human woman before her and thinks that perhaps facing the Deities would not be the best idea to do. Unaccompanied.] I will take you.

eeeee good!

[astrophysicists]

All right. [ Ready to go? Jane is in a hurry now. ]

[asofwar]

[THEN LET US MARCH!!!]

May I have your name?

[astrophysicists]

[ Jane has to almost run to keep pace, but that's just fine by her. ]

Yeah, of course. Sorry. I'm Jane. Jane Foster.

[asofwar]

[HOLD UP, GIRLFRIEND.]

Thor's Jane Foster?

[astrophysicists]

[ STOP ALL THINGS. ]

Thor is here?

[asofwar]

Yes, and missing you something terrible. If I take you to the Deities first, I might not live his pouts.

[astrophysicists]

[ Thor is here! ] No, that's— take me to Thor first, then. Those Deities [ and the science! ] will still be here later, right?

[asofwar]

They always are, even if we would rather they weren't.

[astrophysicists]

All right. So, where's Thor then? [ p a u s e ] This isn't Asgard, is it?

[asofwar]

[lol] No, it pales in comparison.

He should be around. We will find him.

[astrophysicists]

I thought so. This looks— pretty normal, actually. For me.

Yeah? Let's go.

[asofwar]

I imagine so, it is familiar to Midgard. In all ways but the curses.

[MOVING.]

[astrophysicists]

Hold on, curses? What curses? [ That doesn't sound so good. Still curious, though. ]
