RC Test Drive!

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 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.

Inclement 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!

[Isaac has been hovering around the station since the firs familiar face arrived. Even if he did keep as much distance as he possibly could between him and that train because, holy crap what if a giant ugly space monster hopped off it? Okay, reading too many comics and watching too much Syfy aside... When Boyd steps off the train, Isaac stands up from the bench he was perched on.]

Boyd?

[Is that really him? He's okay? Alive and well??? Like Erica!]

[ And here comes, maybe, the one person Boyd might be the slightest bit happy to see. He meets Isaac with a firm nod, the faintest bits of a smile playing on his features. Happiness hasn't really been the same for awhile - it been an unreachable, unfathomable dream - but there's definitely reassurance in seeing his pack mate if nothing else. ]

Isaac. Yeah, it's me.

[The teenager steps even closer now that his suspicions are confirmed. A smile finds its way onto his lips, as blue eyes scan him for injuries. He doesn't smell like blood, so he must be from a different point than Erica was. Isaac blinks slowly and tilts his head to the side in a curious gesture. All he can think of is how scared Erica was for Boyd when she first got to the city.]

Erica's gonna be glad to see you.

-- Erica.

[ The name's a hiss on his lips. It's a name he's been missing, living without, obsessing over. A name that - hurts, no doubt, and Boyd's eyebrows knit together once he says it. Yeah, he'd be pretty damn pleased to see Erica, too. And also unicorns and dragons and leprechauns.

But it's not going to happen. Boyd shakes his head, looking to something off on the side to distract from the expanding hole in his chest. ]

Man, what are you doing to me? Don't say that.

[~~Ruin his life, do it, because Isaac/Misery is everyone's otp.~~

He quirks an arched brow, because what are you talking about Boyd? Why can't he say that? It's the truth? Idly he shoves his hands in his pockets, he's excited to see Boyd, that's no lie, but he doesn't exactly know how to read the guy yet.]

What? What do you mean?

[He smiles, trying to find some form of humour in what the other is saying. Is he joking with him? Boyd water u doin'?]

Don't bullshit me. You know what happened.

[ By now he's reached the pissed off point - where he can't believe Isaac would be saying something like this with a damn smile on his lips. He knew what her death did to Boyd - what it did to both of them and their pack - and they had made the silent decision to not talk about it, because it was too hard, too painful. And yet, here he is, bringing it up like it's the most nonchalant thing ever.

He just shakes his head. Man, the only reason Boyd isn't beating him up right now is because he likes Isaac. ]

Isaac, that's so messed up.

[Isaac doesn't know what happened, well other than her getting to the city injured, but how can he know about that? The smile falls from his face immediately at Boyd's words and baby blues scan his face as if there's some unwritten How To Boyd Manual written on it.]

It wasn't that big of a deal.

[Probably not the right thing to say, but really, getting shot in the leg with an arrow wasn't that bad, and she's okay and happy now. Actually she woke him up this morning by poking his face and making fun of.... guy problems that made him want to die on the inside. The hour long shower of avoidance was necessary. So what if Scott and Lydia needed showers, they could wait.]

I mean, we were all a little freaked out at first.

It wasn't a big deal?

[ Well, if he wasn't mad then he definitely is now. He doesn't know what to say - or what to do, really - because this isn't like Isaac and something is horribly wrong, but he's also biting back the inner wolf from coming out. You don't say shit about Erica to Boyd and expect to come out unscathed. ]

What the hell's the matter with you?

[ His fists are all clenched up - head tilted up to the sky to seek some sort of soothing - some sort of godly presence to not put this guy in his place. He's just breathing for a moment, shaking his head, eyes closed with impossible patience. ]

What about it isn't a fucking big deal? I can't believe I'm hearing this bullshit from you, Isaac.

[Eyebrows knit together in utter confusion because, dude, chill out, she was a little roughed up but she's healed perfectly now. Him and Derek made sure she was fine. He takes a subconscious step back, because yeah, Boyd is a lot bigger than him and right now he looks like he could punch Isaac to the sun. Not that Isaac is quite sure why he's going to get punched into the solar system...]

It wasn't, did you even see her? I think she was lucky. What's your problem? Seriously, calm down.

[She made it away from the Argents alive! Take a chill pill Boyd because Isaac has the self preservation skills of a dead slug. The dead part explains it all. Isaac "roll up my sleeves to beat up a Twinsformer Alpha" Lahey...

He narrows his blue eyes and his lips press into a thin line, she'd said he was there with her, but he's not hurt now. So it's not a big deal anymore?]

There's nothing either of us can do about it now so why does it matter?

Yeah, I saw her corpse Isaac. That's my damn problem, okay? She's dead, and you're being the biggest asshole in the world right now.

[ Boyd huffs, breathing like he can't find any air. He didn't want to say it, the words solidified her death, but Isaac pushed him to that point. They were - basically family, all of them, and he feels a deep sense of betrayal through Isaac's words. He didn't care about Erica, and probably not him either. Funny how death brings out the reality in people, huh? Even though - it's been months since her death, and Isaac was empathetic before.

Now he's officially lost the only two friends he's ever had. One to death, the other to dickery. ]

Just - leave me alone, all right? You don't know shit.

[ Shrugging right past the other, looking to get anywhere that isn't here right now. He's not okay, he's never going to be okay again, and he can't really help the flash of gold across his eyes. He won't kill Isaac, probably won't lay a finger on him, but he's too mad right now to fully get a grip. ]

[Saw her... corpse? No. What kind of sick joke is he playing at?! A growl escapes past Isaac's lips, but his stupid reactions don't stop there, no, that would be far too easy.]

What the hell, dude?!

[A pale hand springs out to latch onto Boyd's arm, jerking at it with surprise strength, of course, Boyd could definitely still punch him to the sun. This is however, Isaac "Roll Up My Sleeves To Beat Up An Alpha" Lahey, so self preservation isn't something he's very good at...]

What are you talking about, corpse? She's alive!

[It makes him mad, really mad that Boyd gets here and then just starts spewing shit like that. Isaac had been so afraid for them both, searching and searching for them. His eyes are still blue but his grip on Boyd's arm is rough. Each word is said around bared white teeth - human teeth.]

What do you even know?! You haven't been here!

[ There's a hand on his arm and Boyd promptly stops - turning to glare at Isaac with an expression that's half pissed and half pained. Don't do this to him. Don't make him feel like he's crazy - he's been trying to deny her death for the longest time, but she's not coming back, she's gone, he watched her die. He knows she's dead and - Isaac acting like she isn't is just salt in the wound.

A second after he grabs onto him, Boyd's opposing arm swings around, moving to roughly shove the smaller werewolf back. He doesn't want to hurt him, even right now. He doesn't want to be the guy that reminds Isaac of his father, doesn't want to hurt anyone, he just wants all the lies and the bullshit to stop. After shoving him back, Boyd just stares at his hands, eyebrows knitted in despair. ]

Isaac, stop. [ He shakes his head - he's not going to fucking cry, not in front of Isaac, not in front of anyone. ] I watched her die, man. In the bank, she --

[ He stops, getting chocked up at his own words. The memory is still so vivid - he can see her there, reaching out to him, crying his name. He turns to face away from Isaac, hands moving up to rub at his face. ]

-- I couldn't do anything.
