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'm at Vic Mu Bomb Factory. For now, anyway.

[Betty blows a plume of smoke for her head.]

Don't tell me. Soldier boy, aren't you?

You thinking of changing?

[He looks a little sheepish]

Yeah, I am.

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.

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?

Of course I don't either, who do you take me for?

[She gives him a look.]

You're cute, Steve. A bit wet behind the ears, maybe.
