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:

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!

He leans in, getting uncomfortably close to the fellow Captain's face, giving him a most serious look.

"Pirate crews's gotta' have musicians! That's what pirates do best, right? Sing and dance, live the life of freedom! Sailing all day and going out on grand adventures, seeing the world and everything there is to offer, all the while singing great songs and eating great food!"

He slams his fist atop the bartop once more, grabbing at the drink in front of him and downing it in one gulp. Letting out a sigh of relief, he turns back to the Captain and raises his empty glass before him.

"Guys like us have to enjoy every moment we've got! A pirate's life is dangerous. You never know what moment might be your last. Me? I aim to be smiling when they take my head. Smiling up until the very last moment. A life with no regrets, as long as I follow my dreams!

What about you, Uncle Hook?"

As the boy leans in uncomfortably close, Hook sort of leans back out to keep at least some distance between. All the while one slender brow is arched at the boy and watching him warily with that entirely too serious expression he has. Luckily for him it was just that the young pirate had thought musicians were a big deal. He found himself laughing once more at the way the other spoke of a pirate's life and what should or should not be.

"Ah, but a true Pirate's crew won't follow the standard to the letter. The only thing constant is the code, even that is fairly flexible." He smiles none-the-less.

"Though I agree, a pirates life should be full of whimsy and great adventure, good food and company as well. Why, the whole point of it is to see the world and all it has to offer while enjoying freedom at it's finest."

It was strange to be called Uncle by the boy, yet somehow fitting, so he continued to let it go. At the question however he paused to mull over his response. It was a heavy question that, how he'd go out, but he thought up his answer.

"Aye, a pirates life is hard and dangerous at times, we have to live like it's our last, but fight like we want to live forever." He nods.

"I have no intention of being caught or dying by anyone's hands. When I go, it'll be after I've lived a full and satisfying life. And people will be singing songs about me perhaps, or at least my name and story will carry on through the ages."
