TEST-DRIVE MEME

Maybe you've considered appping a new character but you're not sure how well they would adjust to the in-game scenario? Well, here's a chance to give it a try!

• Post with a character journal you'd like to voicetest or you've considered apping to Ruby City. Feel free to play them as newcomers or as if they've been here for a while - the setting is your own choice.

•Respond to other threads with new characters or with characters who are already in the game.

• Explore different interactions, find castmates, develop possible CR - anything you want, as long as you have fun!

[Kirei doesn't move as Kiritsugu steps back.]

Interesting. This place brings people from different times. I know you, in your future. When you're an adult.

[Not that he's going to explain exactly how or why he knows him. Behind his more or less blank expression, he's studying Kiritsugu, fascinated. So this boy becomes that man? That man who's so empty inside, who could be someone like himself... But this boy doesn't remind him at all of himself as a child.]

[Kerry's not too sure how to answer that. But eventually, his brain catches up and he finds the words to ask some questions, even if they aren't the most articulate.]

What's the future like? ...What am I like?

[seeyousuffer]

That's a difficult question to answer. In some ways, the future is not too different from your present, but time has passed, and things have changed. You'd have to be more specific.

I wouldn't say I know you very well. It might be more accurate to say that I know of you. Perhaps I shouldn't tell you too much about your future.

[That's right. It's for Kiritsugu's own good, not because he wants to hide anything from him.]

[cappingjustice]

[He paused, one question on the tip of his tongue. But eventually he got the courage to ask it.]

Is the world a better place...in the future I mean?

[Kirei isn't the kind of adult to soften truths for a child. He doesn't know what exactly Kiritsugu is thinking of, what kind of present he's comparing the future to, but he's confident enough in his answer.]

No. The world isn't any better.

[Kerry looks down. So it seemed no matter his choices, he fails again. He's not sure what to think now or what to do. What's the point in trying something if you know you're going to fail?]
