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 ♥

Uh... yeah. Long story, but my neighbor was a vampire. The seriously evil kind, you know, that don't have feelings or sparkle or whatever.

The vampires in my world have feelings. [ pause. ] What happened with your neighbor?

Really? How's that work? I mean, do they still eat people?

Well... [He continues to fidget.] I had to kill him to save my girlfriend. And maybe the world.

There is an Accord that they should not do it to those unwilling, but not all stick to it, certainly. Their feelings are— different, but they certainly have feelings.

[ Oh. ] That could not have been easy. I am sorry.

So they basically sign a contract promising not to eat anyone? [shrugs] Whatever works... or mostly works.

It sucked, but that's not your problem.

In essence, yes. The Shadowhunters enforce it.

No, it is not. Still, I am sorry.

Shadowhunters, huh? That's a friendly name. [It's not.]

It's all good, seriously. [It's not.]

Some of them are very nice people, truly.
