rubycity_ooc | [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!

[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.]

[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...

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...

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.]

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...

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.

[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.

[He nods.]

Alright, I understand.

But you shouldn't take these scars to be proof of your failures.

[Diarmuid gives the other Lancer a confused look.]

Why shouldn't I? What else would they be?

[He takes a while to think up what might be a good answer.]

Proof of...your loyalty?

My loyalty? Sure...why not? Except my loyalty apparently is worth nothing...

[Diarmuid's voice drops to a whisper.]

...at least, nothing to them.

Because they were fools. Let's hope you'll find someone who'll truly treasure your loyalty here.

Perhaps....

[Diarmuid doesn't sound very confident, but he smiles slightly as if he is trying not to be so negative.]

I would not argue against that anyway.

Hey, I'm already impressed with you. So why wouldn't a prospective Master be even more impressed?

[Diarmuid laughs sadly, shaking his head and motioning toward his scars.]

My luck with masters is not so good if you hadn't noticed. But thank you, it is a great honor to hear one such as yourself say you are impressed with me.

What, the guy who looks like a drowned rat?

[Though the fact that he's chuckling makes it clear that he's not bitter at all about being sopping wet.]

Hey, I'm all wet too if you hadn't noticed. That kind of makes us even...

[Diarmuid laughs.]

But yes, even if you are soaking wet, I am still honored to have you say it.

[He pulls off his shirt, and then his pants, leaving him only in his boxers.]

Then, are you honored enough to dive in again? We're both wet so we might as well as catch some fish with our hands.

Why not?

[Diarmuid laughs.]

I cannot think of a better way to spend my first night here.

Then come on!

[He dives into the water.]

[Diarmuid laughs and follows him into the water. Look out fish, here they come!]
