[MEME] Let's Talk RC (CR Testdrive)

[missleadingquestions]

I don't really have a fitting picture for this.

G'day, Ruby City! It's time for a meme for both testdrivers and denizens.

Been itching to test out some CR but haven't had the posts to do it? Thinking of apping a character but not sure they'll fit in the city walls?

Have no fear, a meme for you is here.

Directions:

• Post with your character with their name and canon on top!


• Choose a location and prompt or wait for someone else to tag.


• If you'd like, leave contact info for people to get in contact for plotting and other such shenans.


• Tag around! Make friends. Don't be afraid to chat OOC while tagging.

Locations:

1. Train Station: New arrival, or waiting to welcome people? Either way, the train comes in, but you still can't ride it out.


2. Cathedral: Looking for redemption? Just doing a little sight-seeing? Or just getting a little shelter?


3. The Clocktower: You can see the whole city from here!


4. The Black Stallion Saloon: You were told the burgers were great here-- but maybe you just came for the beer.


5. The Library: You came to do a little research, but it looks like all of the information's just out of your reach. Though, you can always find a way to pass the time here.


6. The Coffee Joint: Run by James Potter and Lukas, a lovely place to have a chat and a bite to eat.


7. Le Cafe Anglais: A Parisian-British fusion that's as charming as it sounds and serves the best tea around.

Scenarios

1. Just walked in: You intended to get here, and you made your way in; but now someone's caught your eye and you'd like to have a chat.


2. Been here all day: You've been sitting around minding the time. Maybe you didn't notice them at first or maybe you were just working up the courage to talk-- either way, they know you're here and you know it too.


3. Inclimate weather: You're here because you've gotten rained in. This wasn't your choice, but at least it's dry-- right?


4. Wild card: Got something better in mind? Well screw these prompts, try it out yourself!

Have fun, guys!

[penisenvy]

Yes, I am Saber.

[She glares at him.]

Saber of Red. And what of your class?

[oathshackledbird]

Of Red? I am not familiar with that title. It seems that even though you seem much like someone I know, you are not her. It is probably for...the best. My apologies Saber for thinking you were another.

[He bows to her politely.]

I am Lancer. I don't have any color designation to add to my title. Perhaps that is something specific to your war?

[penisenvy]

[She scoffs.]

A woman could wear my face? How absurd.

[The only one who shared her face was Father, and he was clearly a man.]

Yes. That would be correct, Lancer.

[oathshackledbird]

It seems as if the war you come from is much different from my own. Would you mind telling me a little about it?

[Diarmuid could speak more about the woman he knows who has the same face as Saber does, but from her reaction he does not think she would react well to that. It is better to allow the matter to drop before an argument starts.]

Please don't feel like you have to. I don't mean to pry, but I know so little about this place that is seems wise to learn as much about my fellows as possible so that we can aid each other.

[penisenvy]

You would be better able to persuade me of that if you weren't trying to seduce me.

[From the start of the conversation, when they saw each other's faces, she has been aware of the charm radiating from it. Her magic resistance can block its effects, but her irritation still builds up as she thinks of how he has the gall to try to affect her with his face.]

[oathshackledbird]

You can resist it like she did...

[There is excitement in his eyes for a moment before he pushes it away and bows his head to her slightly. As he lifts his head again, he unconsciously reaches up to brush the mole under his right eye.]

I apologize. Unfortunately, my charm is not something I can control. It is always active. Believe me when I say, I have no intent to seduce you. You are obviously a skilled warrior. I would rather be fighting with you on the battlefield than fighting a different kind of battle in bed.

[penisenvy]

[She stares at him for a little longer, and decides to tentatively believe his words for now.]

Oh? And you believe yourself a worthy challenge for me?

[oathshackledbird]

[A smile curls the corners of his mouth.]

They once called me the best of the best in my homeland. I think perhaps a better question would be are you a good enough challenge for me?

[penisenvy]

The best in your homeland? Interesting. I believe that we shall be challenge enough for each other.

[oathshackledbird]

I would be honored to have a chance to spar with you sometime.

[He gestures to the area around them.]

If that is something that can happen in a place like this. I have only just arrived so I don't know what kind of rules or limitations there are about fighting.

[penisenvy]

I would prefer a place with few interlopers. However, given that our Masters are not here, I see no reason to abide by any rules but our own.

[oathshackledbird]

I am quite glad to hear that. I have had my fill of honorable battles that were interrupted by those who had no right to do so. I would really rather avoid that happening again.

[penisenvy]

[She frowns.]

"Honorable" battle?

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid nods.]

We called it a duel, but the purpose was the same. We knew one of us would kill the other at some point. All we wanted was the chance to fight the battle on our own terms until that point. Our masters...

[His eyes narrow and he frowns.]

...refused to allow that. They stepped in where they had no right to and in the end it was not us who decided the battle, but them.

[penisenvy]

[She shrugs.]

That sounds irritating, but I would rather take a Master who can make a decision than sit on his ass.

[oathshackledbird]

He hides in the shadows and mocks those who fight in the open. I hardly think that counts as being better than anything, Saber.

[penisenvy]

[She scowls.]

...That definitely sucks. That's the worst type of Master.

So how did he end your battle? Mock the other Master to death?

[oathshackledbird]

There were several servants and masters around during our last battle. He forced me via command spell to attack someone dishonorably. The other servants said they would work together to kill me if he did not pull me back and withdrawal since they would have rather seen me dead than further dishonored. Rider was one of those who were there. I think you can understand why he would react in such a way.

So to answer your question. How do our battles end? We run.

[Diarmuid shakes his head and returns her scowl with one of his own.]

I hate running.

[penisenvy]

Coward.

[She falls silent for a moment. The word isn't enough to describe the utter disdain she's feeling for that Master.]

Asshole.

[Now that feels right.]

What right does he had to contend for the glory of the Grail?

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid can't help but smile slightly. He agrees with her opinions, but his honor and loyalty keep him from saying that out loud. He has tread the line of disloyalty too closely already today.]

As I said before, I do not believe he has the right to, but I am starting to suspect this war of theirs is less about who has the right and more about who has the power.

[penisenvy]

He has no right. Nor does he have power. If he did he would display it.

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid shrugs.]

He believes himself powerful and words and belief are a power of their own. Different from physical strength, but still a power.

[penisenvy]

[She snorts.]

More like the power of self-delusion.

[oathshackledbird]

[A slight smirk curls the corner of Diarmuid's mouth.]

Well, I was never specific about what kind of power those words and beliefs gave...

[penisenvy]

...A good thing he is not here alongside you. Or is he?
