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!

...Pardon?

[...Welp that's certainly a thing. She's not exactly sure how to take that information, honestly. Guess she'll see in person.]

I appreciate the warning? I can't say I... am picturing this correctly, so I'll just wait to see for myself.
I look forward to it, though. It has been a while, after all.

[After a brief hesitation, he clicks over to video. She's gonna find out, anyway, and he doesn't really want her picturing some kind of stumpy-ended monstrosity. No, he's a very specific kind of monstrosity.

He shrugs like all the orange feathers are no big deal.]

Sorry, Rose does the word pictures. I just rap.

[She really... doesn't know what to do with this information either. It hadn't really occurred to her that something like this could happen in the game...

Then again she can't say she really remembered all the fine print, either. She's had a bit to drink between here and there. It's amazing how stressful videogames can be.

But you understand that well, don't you.

She has to force the shock from her expression before she turns on the video; it's never polite to stare, and it's actually probably pretty rude to ask what happened no matter how concerned (or curious) she may be. He doesn't even really know her yet and that would just be insensitive coming from a stranger.

When she appears on his screen, there's a warmth to her smile that she hopes is enough to balance out the mild worry she couldn't quite reign in in such a hurry.

"What happened to our kids?"]

Hello, Dave. It's good to see you. [What a fine young bird you've grown into. Makin' mama proud.]

Same here.

[Davesprite's never been the best at reading people, even after all the time he spent with Rose, and all he gathers from Dr. Lalonde's smile is the extremely astute 'yeah, she seems like a pretty nice lady.' He remembers telling Rose as much, together in her house with a few empty bottles and some impaired judgment between them.]

I've heard some stuff about you. You seem like a pretty cool mom.

[Hell, he'd said it even before that shit timeline. Among other things. About her knickers. Which he wouldn't have said if he'd known she was his mom!

Oh, shit, does she know about that?

While his facial expression doesn't change, he flicks his wings, ruffles them out a little, and then folds them behind him, leaning forward a little.]

So, uh, what do I call you?
