[MEME] Let's Talk RC (CR Testdrive)
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:
- Train Station: New arrival, or waiting to welcome people? Either way, the train comes in, but you still can't ride it out.
- Cathedral: Looking for redemption? Just doing a little sight-seeing? Or just getting a little shelter?
- The Clocktower: You can see the whole city from here!
- The Black Stallion Saloon: You were told the burgers were great here-- but maybe you just came for the beer.
- 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.
- The Coffee Joint: Run by James Potter and Lukas, a lovely place to have a chat and a bite to eat.
- Le Cafe Anglais: A Parisian-British fusion that's as charming as it sounds and serves the best tea around.
Scenarios
- 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.
- 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.
- Inclimate weather: You're here because you've gotten rained in. This wasn't your choice, but at least it's dry-- right?
- Wild card: Got something better in mind? Well screw these prompts, try it out yourself!
Have fun, guys!

[He pauses, frowning slightly.]
I don't know if I like owning so much to something that powerful. Not when I know so little about it.
no subject
The rulers are powerful indeed, which is why they must be taught what a mistake it was to leave the Heroic Spirits with their powers intact and prana to last them perpetually.
no subject
Unfortunately, he can't agree with her.]
It might be tempting to many to do that, but we have to be responsible. We have no idea if our actions would hurt others. Might the administrators take the fight to those who cannot protect themselves like we can? We have no reason to believe they would only attack us especially if we are a threat to them.
Also, what if there are people who want to stay here? Who have nothing waiting for them if they go back? Do we have the right to take that from them?
no subject
no subject
[He doesn't seem to realize that his voice is raising as he talks.]
Or perhaps they just want a chance to avoid being erased from existence? Are those good enough reasons?
no subject
So you wish to stay here to stave off death.
[Her face curves into a cruel smirk.]
And you call yourself the best warrior in your land.
no subject
You were not there! You have no idea what happened. Assume you have the right to judge me again, and I will show you just how mistaken you are!
no subject
[She makes a dismissive motion with her hand.]
Can you? You, a man who fears death so much he would take a coward's way out?
no subject
[His voice is a snarl.]
I was fighting King Arthur! It was a battle I had ever intention and every chance of winning. If nothing else we would have fallen together and I would have died bringing my master that much closer to what he wished! Instead, my master chose to run yet again and forced me to kill myself right in the middle of that battle!
I am no coward. It is he who was the coward. I only wish the chance to serve a worthwhile master! If death is the result that is fine, but I do not wish to go out like that! There must be more!
no subject
[Her Father...is that how he had known her face? She is distracted as she hears the rest of his rant. It incites her to rage and pity and frustration.]
Fool.
[That is all she can say, given her jumble of feelings.]
You would throw yourself into that mess all over again? Die fighting for another person's desires?
no subject
[Diarmuid gives he a steady and confident look.]
That is why I want to stay here. It has nothing to do with cowardice and everything to do with making sure I do everything possible and use every skill I have before I leave the world again! I do the world a dishonor if I do not!
no subject
[She has to swallow down her embarrassment.]
I was wrong in my original assessment. You're a dumbass, but that spirit of yours is certainly praiseworthy.
no subject
I will accept that. You are not the first to see my loyal nature and hear my beliefs who has called me an idiot or dumb for having them. If words like that bothered me, then I really would be the coward you just tried to name me.
no subject
no subject
In short, Saber, I am not a quitter. It might take a long time and it might be painful, but someday I will reach my goals and find my wish. I just need not to give up before I get there.
no subject
[Jealousy.]
[She is jealous of his spirit. Jealous of how he had, as part of his very being, things that she could play at being. Jealous of how he chosen a path different from her. She was jealous of this real, perfect, knight.]
...Man, what an idiot. Do as you like. I won't be the one picking up the pieces of your corpse when you're done.
no subject
That is fine. I ask no one to pick up after me. If I fail, I fail. I can only hope that I will do better the next time a chance presents itself.
no subject
You'll do better? With that attitude, no wonder everyone walks all over you.
no subject
I have learned I cannot control what others do, Saber. I can only control myself and, therefore, my best chance to make things work is through improving myself. Spending time trying to make others do better when they have no interest in changing only wastes time I could be using to improve those things I can control.
no subject
Start with growing a backbone.
no subject
no subject
[Anger flashes in her eyes.]
You would take all the responsibility and all the pain upon yourself! And no matter how many times people betray you, you refuse to change!
[There's something other than anger in her voice. Desperation? Concern?]
no subject
Not all prefer to lead, Saber. And without those like me who you call so weak, the leaders would have no one to lead and therefore, could not be leaders.
[He suddenly smiles something that looks suspiciously like a smirk.]
And just so you know, there was a time when I led. Just because I choose to follow now does not make me any less of a man than I was back then when I took up the mantle of leadership.
no subject
[She has to bite back the embarrassing words and mentally chide herself for even letting the thought pass her mind. For a second, she had wanted to say something like "A man who understands chivalry so well should be a leader."]
[She doesn't feel anything positive for him! It's impossible!]
I suppose you are right. Some are born to lead, some are born to follow.
[Her lips curl into a smirk to match his.]
Perhaps after I attain the Grail, I will allow you to follow me. So I can wring the foolishness out of you.
no subject
You make two false assumptions there, Saber. One is that YOU will win the Grail instead of me and the second is that I will still feel like following once all is said and done.
Who knows. Perhaps once I win I will allow you to follow me so that you learn the value of being a follower.
