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!

[Stepping off the train, scanning the area, the blue haired woman looks like any normal person but for her hair color and the bright red eyes. There's also the oddly revealing clothes she's wearing but she's completely unconcerned.

She picks up the watch and, without any sign of emotion, flicks on the video function.]

I am KOS-MOS. The Anti-Gnosis Annihilation Weapon built by Vector Industries. I require an immediate method to return to Fifth Jerusalem.

[ Bolin can only stare in awe as he slowly exits the train and spots the city in the looming horizon. It's certainly not republic city, but it's also something he's really not used to. ]

Wooah!

[ He looks to his left shoulder, where Pabu currently resides, and raises his arm as the fire ferret makes a jump for his hand. ]

Are you seeing what I'm seeing, Pabu?

[ The ferret nods back at him as Bolin looks at the city. ]

C'mon pal, we've got a city to explore and our friends to find!

[While Bolin is looking at the city, he may notice something flying around the buildings, suddenly banking to the right and heading towards the train station - close enough to tell it's green and wearing armor]

Hello! Is anyone from Camelhot here?

[ And of course, such an obvious sight is hard to escape even the densest of minds whilst staring right at it. Bolin raises his hand over his yes, and squints while leaning forward to make sure he's not seeing things.

Is that...? Okay, he has no idea what he's looking at here, but that makes it all the more fun! ]

Heey!

[ He waves his right arm at the figure, but ponders if it's enough, so he raises his tone of voice a notch. ]

Heeeeeeeeeeeey!!

Ah! Someone is here!

[With a flick, Flicker veers - righted himself to a standing position and lands when he heard the call, approaching Bolin]

Oh. Hello! You must've gotten off the long carriage too. I'm Flicker, Squire of the Knights of the Square Table.

[The park's been a hive of activity thanks solely to one industrious dragon, who had been gathering various pieces of junk and forcibly screwing, bolting, and soldering them together into what looks to be a rather wobbly tower with a giant bowl on top]

There! My latest invention is finally complete! Perhaps now we can pick out distant sounds and use it to triangulate any oddities that would give us a clue on how to escape!

I'd like to take the time to thank whatever kind citizen went out of their way to provide these little guides for the newcomers. I'm sure it knocks out most of the general questions from the more observant arrivals, anyway.

Interesting that this place can bring in all sorts, hmm? I'm actually fairly sure some of these languages don't exist, where I'm from.

So, I'm sold on the interdimensional, alternate-reality what-have-you. Not so certain how this came to be, but after the sort of day I've had, I can't exactly claim to be confused by anything anymore. [She chuckles, shifting her gaze off-screen before continuing.]

Pardon me for this message running long, but I suppose I should actually introduce myself before I end it. [Another laugh, and she returns her focus to the camera.]

My name is Roxy Lalonde; Ms. Lalonde will do. Please feel free to send me anything you may think is relevant to my interests-- for the record, anything you have to tell me about this place is relevant to my interests-- or just introduce yourself, if you'd like.

I think it'd be nice to get to know some of my new neighbors.

[Oh, lookie here..]

... I reckon I might be relevant to your interests.

[Pause.]

Ma'am.

[She didn't expect such an abrupt reply... guess this place is busier than she thought.

Flipping open her watch, she finds herself face to face with a damn near exact replica of--]

Dirk...?

[No, that can't be. He's too young.]

H-haha... I-- I take that back. I'm confused. One hundred percent unbelievably confused.

I am Dirk.

[He slips his shades down a fraction. Those same bright orange eyes.]

I just ain't that one.

[FUCKIN' NOPE.

HOW HAPPEN?

WHY HAPPEN?

WHY THIS?]

[A little smile tugs at her lips. Oh no, Dirk. You've made a huge mistake.]

You're still absolutely precious. Congratulations.

[She can't say she's entirely disappointed with that. While she missed her Dirk... it really had been a while since they spoke.]

How long have you been here?

[Wait what. He nudges his shades back up and squints at her from behind them. Precious? That's a new one.]

It's been almost a year.

[He's not her Dirk, and she's not his Roxy, but still..]

You're okay, aren't you?

I'm... [She has to consider that she definitely wasn't, what only felt like minutes ago.] ...In one piece.

Ah... a year? They weren't kidding about the "indefinite" time frame thing, huh. Goodness.

I'm glad to see you doing well, in any case. [She needs to stop looking at him like that, seriously. He's just so cute though and he looks just like her Dirk did when he was that age and oh noooo.]

[Calm down, Lalonde. You've handled this before without having a minor panic attack (just barely) you can do it again. Ignore the conflicting feelings about meeting your genetic mother from another universe again, ignore the anxiety over speaking to her for more than five minutes before she's gone again, ignore how much her saying her own name makes you miss your own daughter.

You're Rose Lalonde and you can handle this.]

[Mom, say hello to your grown daughter who is older than you.]

Hello, Mo-

[Nope, she can't say it. She just can't.]

Hi.

[Christ, you people are really trying to give her a heart attack, aren't you?

The confusion is evident in her entire expression, from knit brows to puzzled fuchsia eyes, right down to trembling lips, unsure of how to even respond to her.

She looked just like Rose. Her Rose. Her daughter. But... she's so much... older. This has to be the same phenomenon as young Dirk, didn't it? Only in reverse. So that meant...]

Rose--? [Oh fuck, oh fuck no. No, no no. She knows how this is supposed to work, now.

This woman is supposed to be her mother, isn't she? But... she's her daughter. She's so clearly her Rose, just... an adult. But with all that insane ectobiology nonsense that made this woman her daughter and mother, and--]

I-- I need a drink. That's it. I just. I need a drink.

[She exhales a shuddering sigh, lifting a hand to her face and rubbing at her temples.]

I don't-- I don't think I was ever prepared to handle this meeting, please forgive me.

Well, dick me twice, look who it is. [Bro no...] What's up, girl? How long's it been? A decade at least!

[Automatic response to everything: Sass. Bro has that smug grin on his face - just a slight upturn at the corner of his mouth and showing some teeth. It's nice to see a familiar face. Even if it's hers.]

[And if it isn't just Strider after Lalonde pouring in here... Two a piece were enough for the world to handle. This? This is getting outrageous.

Though she's absolutely, 100% certain she recognizes this one, because no one but Dirk Strider (Senior; she'd make a note of that later) talks to her like he does.

Despite the relief in her eyes, she maintains that familiar icy Lalonde demeanor if only long enough for a proper greeting for her ~favorite~ Strider.]

Of all places to see your face again... Can't say an alternate universe would be one of them.

Crazy how that shit works out, ain't it.

[He props his chin on his hands and maintains that shit-eating smug little grin.]
[No lie though, even for all the sass and passive-aggression, he is pretty glad to see her.]

You missed me, admit it.

[She'd be lying if she said she wasn't happy to see him as well. It really has been too long.]

Must I? That would insinuate that I have feelings and we simply cannot have that, can we?

[Of course she's teasing. Not that it's beyond her to play up exactly what he thought of her most of the time.]

If I must, than I would say yes. And I know you've missed me, Strider. You don't even have to say it. I see it in your ridiculous glasses.

Seems like you don't let go of those things in any universe.

[For a second the feed is a bit shaky, then it steadies and Bro eyes it for a second.]

This watch is hells of weird...
Anyway! I just tumbled off the train from Mordor and I have no idea what happened, buuut... I'm apparently stuck here. Which is cool I guess, I mean the alternative was gonna be death. Ehh, so, anybody want to fill me in on anything I should know that isn't covered by the FAQ section at the station? 'Cause...

[He turns his head, glances away thoughtfully, then pulls his cap down a little bit.]

Yeah.
Oh! Uh, before I forget, just? Call me Bro. Right? Cool. Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom.

Why you gotta bring the shades into this? They're boss as fuck and you know it.

[He actually sounds slightly offended.]

And I'm not admittin' to anything that can and will be used against me in a court of Sassmasters: The Sassening.

[Uh huh yeah sure ok whatever.]

I'm wounded. [Look at this pout.] You didn't miss li'l old me?

Huh.

[Siiiigh. Really, he should have figured this would happen. Temporal mechanics be damned, and from the looks of things he's going to have to deal with the asshole from square one all over again.

How inconvenient.]

Don't forget, you're here forever.

[Yeah, Simpsons references right off the bat. Someone give this kid some juice.]
