[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!

[Diarmuid raises a confused eyebrow at the other servant.]

And how exactly am I going to end up with fish in my shirt if I am sleeping?

[puppy_lancer]

[Lancer only turns his face and whistles innocently.]

[oathshackledbird]

Oh...is that how it is?

[A small smile crosses Diarmuid's face.]

Do you know another way fish can get into someone's shirt?

[puppy_lancer]

Mm? What?

[oathshackledbird]

Like this...

[Diarmuid suddenly jumps to his feet with a smirk and tries to knock Cu Chulainn into the lake.]

[puppy_lancer]

[Cu Chulainn yelps and tries to jump back, but trips and ends up falling head-first into the lake.]

Hey!

[He crawls out half way and reaches to grab Diarmuid's ankle.]

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid manages to move back out of the range of the grab for the moment and laughs.]

You did ask!

[Said as if it justifies his actions...]

[puppy_lancer]

[He pouts, then goes back to smiling.]

Alright, so you got me there. Gotta say--you're pretty fast. Now, get me out? I promise I won't drag you in.

[oathshackledbird]

I wouldn't be a very good Lancer if I was slow, now would I?

[Diarmuid steps forward and holds a hand out to help pull the other servant out of the water. Despite Cu Chulainn's promise not to pull him into the water in retaliation, he half expects it to happen.

It's not like he doesn't deserve it, anyway.]

[puppy_lancer]

[And of course, he doesn't pull Diarmuid in. Instead, with one hand grabbing onto Diarmuid's hand, he splashes water at the other Lancer.]

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid laughs, ducking back to avoid some--but not all--of the water. He then gives Cu Chulainn a pull up out of the lake.]

Here I thought you were a Lancer, when in reality you were a fish...

[puppy_lancer]

[He steps out of the lake and starts wringing his hair dry.]

Don't blame me for being the better swimmer, now.

[oathshackledbird]

Hey, one of us looks like a drowned rat and the other doesn't. Which is the better swimmer again?

[puppy_lancer]

[He gives a barking laugh.]

I'd like to see you look any better if you jumped in the water.

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid smirks at him.]

Worried I just might look better?

[puppy_lancer]

...As if!

[He stares at Diarmuid.]

...So how about I dare you to do it?

[oathshackledbird]

Dare me to do what? Jump in the water?

[He laughs.]

That's hardly a big enough thing to call a dare...

[puppy_lancer]

Yeah, jump in the water. We'll see how good you can look when soaking wet.

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid gives the other Lancer a mocking, put-out look before turning and diving--rather majestically and dolphin-like--into the water. He remains out of view for several moments before reappearing and pulling himself back out onto dry land.

It's probably cheating that he dematerialized the top of his armor when he dove into the lake so now drops of water glisten off his chest as well as his hair and face in the moon light. The angry red scar over his heart and the fainter jagged scars over his abdomen may just cancel out that advantage, though.]

[puppy_lancer]

[At first, he crosses his arms and blushes when he seems how much less disheveled the other Lancer looks. However, he's quickly distracted by the other Lancer's scars.]

Those are...

[oathshackledbird]

Hmm...?

[Diarmuid is confused at first by Cu Chulainn's reaction, but that confusion changes to dark amusement when he looks down and sees the scars on his chest.]

How nice... Apparently, someone saw fit to make sure it was completely impossible for me to forget my failures. As if there was any chance of that...

[puppy_lancer]

Your failures? What did you do that would make scars like that?

[He can hazard a guess, but surely, the place wouldn't be so cruel as to force the other Lancer to bear scars of his death.]

[oathshackledbird]

Well...this one would be my first death because I was foolish enough to believe when my master told me he forgave me.

[His fingers lightly trace the jagged lines across his stomach. Diarmuid rolls his eyes up from where he has been looking at the scar, so that he is looking at the other servant again.]

I was not so successful in slaying the monstrous boar as you were when you slayed the monstrous dog that gave you your name.

And this one should have a match on my back...

[Diarmuid looks back over his shoulder and seems to find exactly what he is looking for because a bitter look crosses his face.]

Yes...you tend to have matching wounds when you are forced to drive your own spear through your chest...

[puppy_lancer]

So you kept those scars...

[He extends a hand toward Diarmuid.]

Do you want me to help? I don't know how much my runes can do for you, but I can try to fix up those scars. Make them less visible, at least.

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid looks at Cu Chulainn's hand for a moment before shaking his head. His fingers ghost over the ugly scar over his heart before his hand drops to the side.]

Thank you, but I will pass. Even if you could erase them completely, I would still know they are there. It would seem too much like I am trying to hide from the past, even when I know I am not.
