Test Drive meme
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!

Am I? [She means this as a serious question, as if he'll know the answer better than she herself does.]
no subject
He stares at her, mouth wide open.] Aren't you? You look lost to me!
no subject
I guess.
no subject
You don't talk a lot, do you? But that's alright, I can talk enough for both of us!
no subject
Does that mean you'll be able to say what I'm thinking? Are you a mind-reader?
no subject
I... Ve... I can't say what you're thinking.
[He gazes hopefully at her.] But you could tell me what you're thinking!
no subject
I don't think the words will come out right. I'm... is there a word for being bad at remembering the right word when you need it? [All of her speech is very slow, as if she's working carefully to say exactly the right things. And unlike a normal person, she doesn't make any sound while gathering her thoughts; she just pauses randomly, and stares at nothing.]
no subject
I don't know if there is a special word for it. Maybe there is, but I'm not good with words, either. I always say the wrong things or say I too much or say it at the wrong time.
no subject
Mm, me too. I wonder if there's a word for it that neither of us know. [Her eyes slowly slide to the side, a movement that's only noticeable if he's really paying close attention. And once again... silence.]
Are you an artist? [The seemingly random question definitely demands an answer; even though her eyes have dropped half-shut, she's watching him rather carefully. More that looking inside him, actually.]
no subject
Ve? [Oh, nowhe had been so busy staring that he had forgotten to respond.] Oh, I'm sure there is a word for it! Germany would know, he's smart. Mister Austria would know it, too. I will ask him the next time I see him! He is a musician and he is very smart, too.
I'm a painter. [He giggles, enjoying his little insider joke.] A Renaissance painter!
no subject
[She gains a lazy but genuine smile at this.] I'm a painter, too. Maybe it's just something that happens to artists after a while. [She tilts her head to the side.] What makes someone an artist, anyway?
no subject
[While they are on the topic of questions, he just can't help himself anymore.] Why are you hiding your arms?
no subject
[The question gains him a non-commital shrug, but no response. Maybe she's spacing out again. As is her voice sounds more like she's talking to herself than to him.]
no subject
Maybe they are! Or maybe artists are people who see the world with different eyes. They see things that other people don't notice because they are too busy rushing through their lives. They wouldn't notice the kitten or the clover at all. [A heartbeat of pause.] And you didn't tell me yet why your arms are weird.
Woah, it told me I lost my post but I hadn't. o_O
DW is trolling you again.
You have no arms! [Whoops. So maybe such a loud, triumphant exclamation wasn't completely appropriate. Feliciano's cheeks turn pink.] How do you paint without hands?
Goddamnit.
I use my feet. [She says this as if it's completely obvious.] If you give me something to draw with, I can show you.
no subject
Feliciano rummages around in the pocket of his coat, unburying after some searching a sketchpad and a pencil. He offers the pencil to her, then just holds out his hand awkwardly when he realizes she has no hand to take it with.]
Here... you...? Ve!
no subject
no subject
Feli goes back to unabashed staring once that is done.] I have never seen anyone draw with their feet!
no subject
no subject
He speaks up only when she is done.] Ve... it's me! It looks just like me... [He smiles at her.] You're a good artist! I've never seen anyone do what you do!
