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!

I wouldn't be standing here if I didn't believe it.

[sleeplessteen]

Okay then, I'll humour you. Who are you meant to be? I don't remember seeing you in the pilot and I'd remember the name at least.

I show up later. [he hesitates, but if the guy knows this much then August might as well be honest about the rest] I was Pinocchio in the Enchanted Forest. Emma and I arrived in the World Without Magic together. That's why I'm grown up.

[wow it's kind of therapeutic to tell the truth]

[sleeplessteen]

Pinocchio. Right.

[He clears his throat, his curiosity getting the better of him.]

Okay so say I believe, which I don't, but for the sake of argument. How did you come with Emma? The tree thing could only carry one.

[unvarnished]

That was a lie. My father told the Blue Fairy to say that. It had enough magic for two, but he sent me first. He wanted to protect me from the curse...

[sleeplessteen]

I suppose better they lie than you right? Or who knows what you'd look like with a nose that big.

[Thomas laughed.] Okay. I've indulged you. Are you gonna tell the truth now, Pinocchio?

[unvarnished]

Yes, I am. But I prefer going by August, if you don't mind. I stopped being Pinocchio a long time ago.

[Thomas rolled his eyes. This guy was not going to give up!]

I'm sorry, I can't believe you are...who you say you are. Fictional people are just that. Fictional. They don't exist.

[unvarnished]

... Well. You wouldn't be the first to not believe me when I'm telling the truth. I won't take any offense.

[sleeplessteen]

[There was a pause as Thomas tried to figure this all out. eventually he spoke again.]

I believe in science over magic. Have you got any proof?

[unvarnished]

No, I don't. Sorry.

[sleeplessteen]

Didn't think so.

[unvarnished]

If you'll excuse me, I have to see if Emma is here. You take care. [a pause] It was nice talking to you.
