NOV. TEST DRIVE

[missleadingquestions]

Sorry to be late this time!



G'day, Ruby City!

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: 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. Bad 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!

Comments

[chimerization]

Yes, it hurts.

[The agony is constant and intense, but Isemi says this simply, giving no idea of how severe his suffering is. He has more of a reaction to the suggestion that follows, his eyes widening at the thought.]

No, I wouldn't do that. I have a friend.

[He knows he's going to die. He'd thought he was near death before coming here, but every moment he spends with Perseus is a moment worth living. Why would he want to miss one of them?]

[teasing]

Is your friend here right now?

[ it's probably a moot question, given the boy's current state. surely a friend wouldn't leave him here to fend for himself?

well. perhaps some friends would. ]

Are they important to you?

[chimerization]

No, I don't know where he is now.

[Isemi trusts Perseus completely. Perseus wouldn't leave him of his own accord. If he's not here now, there's a good reason for it. If Isemi was taken away by magic, maybe Perseus doesn't know where he is and can't find him. But he misses him...]

He's the most important person to me.

[teasing]

Hmm. Are you going to lie here and wait for him? What if he never comes? What will you do then?

[ he's not trying to depress him, not really... but these are important questions. ]

What if you get hungry? Or what if it rains?

[chimerization]

I don't know. I just arrived here. I was lying here because I don't have any choice. I was waiting for someone to come.

[He knows he's completely dependent on other people for help. There's nothing he can do about that, so he accepts it.]

I'll need someone to take me to where it's dry and give me something to eat.

[Or he'll die. It's as simple as that.]

[teasing]

And your friend normally does this, no?

[ he straightens up, adjusting his clothing though there really isn't any need to. for a moment he debates the merits of simply "deleting" this boy right here, right now, to put him out of his misery.

but it is only for a moment. ]

What is your friend's name?

[chimerization]

No, the researchers do that usually. But my friend stays with me, and we talk.

[He's sure Perseus would do those things for him, if he had to, but he isn't allowed or able to leave the hospital. They keep him alive there.]

His name is Perseus.

[teasing]

And what does he look like?

[ he's doubtful that the man is here; if he was, why would he leave the boy here, alone, helpless as he is? no, it's still curiosity that compels him to continue his questioning, and he's happy to let it go on if only for the pleasure it brings him. ]

[chimerization]

He's tall, with dark red hair, and green eyes. He's very kindly, and he's always smiling.

[Isemi is all too happy to describe Perseus, especially if it will help him be found.]

[teasing]

Perseus, right?

Ah... while you wait for him, perhaps you would like to be moved somewhere out of the way?

[ he's not entirely sure where out of the way would be, but he figures if the boy is out of high traffic, then that's good enough, right? ]
