THE TEST-DRIVE MEME!

1. Using a journal of a character you've considered apping in Ruby City, post a comment as if they're already in the game! It can be audio/video, accidental/on purpose, intro/been there for ages.

2. Tag around with others--potential characters or characters who are already in the game--to see how well they fit.

3. Get a better idea of how well they'd work out in Ruby City, and app or not app accordingly!

Especially custom-made ones~! If you like I can make you one the way you like all I have to do is take your sizes~! [It would be a coffin still. He has made himself a few since his stay and... decorated his apartment with them.

And considering what kind of... occupation he has, it's more than likely.] Oh, people always think the worst first~! In my job you wouldn't have any problems like that, since it's your job to tend your guests before the family grants them the last honor.

Yes! [Screw detached poise, he has an offer for a custom-made coffin! Aristeo's eyes gleam with something that might just be interpreted as happiness, though he would scoff at such a claim. He coughs awkwardly.] Yes, I would like a coffin of my own. I will find a way to pay you back though I doubt my currency has any value to you.

I might consider posing as an undertaker if the hardships become too debilitating, but I have found my own ways. [The lift side of his mouth curls upwards in a wry half-grin.] It is useful at times to be considered eccentric, insane even.

[makemelaugh]

[A coffin should make everyone as happy as him! No need to be ashamed!] I am not interested in money. Especially not the Queen's money. However... A first-rate laugh should be enough of a payment.

Is that so? [He's thinking if he should make an exception, it's so rare to met someone with the same interests as yourself... a human on top.]

I agree, it's very useful at times~!

[betteroffdead]

[He gives a tiny nod, though his eyebrows knit together in confusion.] What an odd request for payment... I don't laugh often but if you make me a coffin it warrants trying my best.

[Another little nod.] It is indeed useful to pretend that you are insane, at least as long as you are wealthy enough to be considered eccentric instead of mad. You are given certain liberties. [He quirks his lips into a little sneer.] Wear a fancy dress and some make-up and the peasants will be too outraged by your manner of dress to discuss that you spend hours on the local graveyard.

[makemelaugh]

[At least he wouldn't have to worry about being unable to pay him. For the moment at least.]

I admit, I actually enjoy it a lot to see people freaking out~! You should see their faces when I tell them about my hobbies, it's priceless~!

[betteroffdead]

[His lips twitch and well, he doesn't try fighting it anymore, he grins. This genuine petty excitement at another's expense is quite heart-warming.]

That proves that the general populace has abominable taste. There is nothing wrong with enjoying the company of the dead. It is a perfectly reasonable hobby!

[makemelaugh]

[People could call him morbid but it was a little pleasure of his.]

That it is~!

[betteroffdead]

[He inclines his head.]

I look forward to letting you take the measurements.

[To his surprise, Aristeo finds he actually does. It would be a pleasant change to have some like-minded company.]
