A new Month, a new Test drive! Happy Early April.
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:
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!

"Nah, the ghosts in this city... they don't say anything that makes any sense," she explains. "I don't really know what's wrong with them. Back home I couldn't see them, but the spiritual energy here is a lot stronger."
It feels like static electricity on her skin, but after nine months in the city, she barely notices it.
"None of the ghosts are ever of people who come here, anyway."
no subject
"Mmmmmaybe it's the atmosphere. So. Tell me 'bout this joint. If it screws with the spirits, it screw with people too?" Huh. "Ever get ghosts you know?" He turns his head at an odd upward angle with that question.
no subject
"Once," she mumbles, "but it wasn't really a ghost. It was a ghost or something pretending to be someone else. Someone who isn't dead in my world."
She crosses her arms, wanting to very quickly get off the topic-- especially since the ghost illusion had been Morgan Fey.
"But other things happen, too. There were monsters-- and something called 'heartless', which I guess is a kind of monster too? It sounds like something from a really old video game. But I've heard there are dragons, too, and there's someone here who's a pony who talks. A unicorn? Something like that."
..Which, well, in 2019, Kingdom Hearts kind of will be old.
no subject
titslips." Smoooooth.Heartless? Before he can care to stop himself, he cuts her off at 'pony'. "Hah! That shit IS from some oldass video game. Some shit with Disney actually growin' a pair and makin' something kinda bad-ass. This fag from some backwater island gets warped into Disney movies and like, has to stop some asshole from doing something and anyway it all plays out like a Goth Metal song if you like replace all the death with 'losing your heart'."
"What kinda dragons...?"
no subject
But before Veser can push the thought about dragons, Maya blurts what she's been thinking for a while.
"You talk like you're trying too hard," she mentions, completely unashamed. "Are you mad about something? Or are you just having a bad day? Or do kids just talk like that where you come from?"
Still no shame. She's not sorry.
no subject
"Uhhhh, how about all of the above!? You wanna ask what my cup size is while we're getting all personal here?"
He releases a puff of air from his nose and narrows his eyes at her.
no subject
...Partially because she tends to forget she no longer has a vampire girl at her beck and call to protect her.
"I'm just saying, you don't have to talk like that," she comments, putting on a smirk and even stepping closer. She's pretty sure that even with those teeth, Veser's all bark and no bite. "Pretty girls don't really like it when boys are all rude, you know? Maybe you should try being a little nicer. I mean, I bet you can talk like a gentleman."
no subject
A gentleman? Anyone can talk flowery and call themselves a fucking gentleman! But who wants to?
He wasn't about to go into why he spoke like that, about it being his awful defense mechanism or the crushing loneliness he sometimes felt from his continued use of it. She was still a stranger after all.
...but she's got him on that one.
"Maybe I'll talk how I fuckin' want. If you're lookin' for a gentleman, you've got the wrong guy, babe," he says, craning his head down menacingly. That's how you woo a lady!
no subject
And if she has to get evidence, she's... sure she can find some, some way.
"I mean, you like video games, too! And only cool kids like stuff like that." Because that logic totally makes sense.
no subject
Games. Yea.
"I am pretty cool, I know. Wouldn't be so... anyway yea. Games." Shoving his hands in his pockets, he looks anywhere but her.
no subject
Instead of talking, though, she just leans to the side he's looking toward, as though trying to intercept his line of vision.
Sorry, Veser, you really shouldn't hit on girls who are absolute little shits.
"Come on, I didn't say anything that bad."
no subject
There's no way he can turn his head any farther not for lack of trying. So there's nothing left to do but look right back at his offending associate.
"Nah, it's not you. Fuckin'. Anyway, don't we have someshit more important to talk about?" Like yanno... all those other subjects two people talk about.
no subject
After a moment spent thinking to herself, Maya clasps her hands together again.
"I've got it! I know what'll cheer you up." Before waiting for a yes or no, Maya grabs Veser's arm by the sleeve. "Come on, the City's burger joint's awesome. And the food here's free, too."
no subject
The clapping startles him, and his hands almost make it as far as his shoulders before he realizes it was just a clap. When Veser's arm is grabbed, he's almost pulled over but catches his balance and steadies into a trot.
"Jesus hell! Some freakin' warning next time!?" It's been a while since I ate, huh? Shit I didn't even realize I was fuckin' starving." Guess we're friends now?? "So uh, you abscond with every guy you meet?"
no subject
"Your hoodie's really cool, by the way," she adds, looking at the hoodie as opposed to where she's going. It's cool. She's totally memorised most of the way.
no subject
"It's a sweet hoodie. Yanno there's probly room for two in it."
no subject
"I dunno, that might look pretty silly," she tells him, pulling at the purple jacket of her kimono. "Besides, mine's a uniform. 30% cooler, at least. And you'll figure out where everything is in no time!"
People usually have to stick around quite a while, after all.
no subject
"So's the food here good? 'Cause I never had weird spirit dream food or whatever shit they got here.."
And he may just be here for quite a while as far as he could tell.
no subject
And just like that, a new opportunity to troll the hell out of him arises.
"Yeah... but you know, if you eat it, you can never go back," she says, looking back toward the road and trying to put on a spooky voice. "You'll become... part of this world."
no subject
"Hm?" Part of this stupid hallucination? Great. Hanna what the hell. "Are you shitting me. Like anyone needs ta get the Persephone treatment. Great! Guess it's fuckin' starvation boulevard for me!" He throws his hand up and lets out an exasperated sigh. That's SUCH B.S.
no subject
"I'm just kidding," she urges, pulling the door to the Black Stallion Saloon over. "It's kinda the best restaurant here, so you don't wanna miss out. I mean, the only one that isn't a café-- but that's not the point."
no subject
"Wait," he halts even as she pulls him, "I was totally here earlier! They wouldn't gimee a damn drink." He had seen quite a few café's on his way down, but honestly 'café' and 'serving alcohol' never really went hand in hand. Except for in college towns. "You old enough ta drink? I mean you don't really look it."
