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!

[A... Well... A blue skinned young woman in a very decayed wedding gown steps on the train and picks up the watch curiously. As the video activates, one of her eyes fall out and rolls along on the ground and a maggot sticks itself out to talk.]

This doesn't look like the church.

It's not, maggot. Where is Victor? And where did this watch come from?

[Stooping down now to pick up her eye and pop is back into the socket. The maggot just pops out of her ear then.]

He probably got cold feet. He is about to kill himself for you, after all.

[Legolas can be found sitting in the station, dressed formally and a crown on his head. At his side, on the bench, are a pair of swords. Where they came from, he isn't sure, they'd been with him when he had awoken but he was thankful for them. Being in a strange place without weapons was unnerving.

There may be no orcs or other creatures here to attack or kill him, but he preferred being armed if he could be. He'd have to craft himself a bow quickly, and arrows. Swords were only so good in certain situations, after all.]

[A quite curvy babe can be found emerging from the train. She is graced with womanly curves, hips and wearing a fine red dress with matching heels. In a word-she is heavenly and a glow seems to radiate from her very form.

Suddenly the image is ruined as she stretches her arms wide and gives a load obnoxious yawn. A burp soon follows and a long finger comes and wiggles around in her ear, searching for gold one would say. It is after these moments that she looks around and catches a glimpse of her surroundings.]


Well this isn't Daten City. This is just unfortunate.

[She appears mildly distrassed. A groan sounds and she looks down at the ground, where she sees the watch. Picking it up she flipped it around on its sides, inspecting it.]

What is this? Some kinda flashy bling for a lovely angel! Well this place isn't turning out so bad!

[She clicks a button.]

Hey any good studs out there? Can some kind big boy give me a notice or some form of information about this place. Please I'm all lost and misplaced.

[She bats her eyelids, lets out a worried moan and pushes her breasts together for the show before she shuts the feed off.]

[Well this was odd. Guy didn't remember getting on any manner of fontech transportation, much less this vehicle. So when he shows up in the station, he's rather confused.]

Uh, hey. Is anyone here?

[He calls it out, not realizing that there's a watch hanging from his belt until he turns and the thing smacks against his leg none-too-gently. He picks it up, staring into the currently open face, then grows excited as he realizes it's some kind of technology.]

Oh! Is this some sorta fontech? It's so cool, I'd really like to take it apart! Augh, if only I had some tools...!!

[And if only he noticed it's currently broadcasting.]

[A beat-up looking man in rumpled clothes gets off the train, talking rapidly to no one in particular, his watch-thing broadcasting almost without a thought]

So I finally get off this train in the middle of some burg that makes even my hometown look good in comparison-- yeah, I know, it's hard, but this place really does do it-- and all of a sudden I can't remember how I got on the train. I figure I'm working a case, because I have to take this detective thing seriously, but it all seems like there's something rotten in Denver.

[Yeah, I know, it's Denmark, there too]

I get off the train, and everything's gone all Twilight Zone on me, except I don't even have the option of that guy narrating-- which is fine, there's only supposed to be one narrator, and that's me, so screw off-- but it really means I don't know what's going on. So...yeah. Anyway, Hi. I'm Harry. Welcome to...

[He freezes and suddenly frowns]

Crap, I don't know where the hell this is.

[Harry notices the text barrage and through some combination of pokes and prods manages to answer it, though the video is in way too close a close up and his voice is kind of quiet]

Hey! '90s font fairy! Wanna turn down the glitter a little? Some of us are still a little hung over.

[He holds the comm at various lengths to try and get a decent angle]

[A traveller steps out onto the platform with a sad smile on his face. He is wearing a dirty hooded poncho made of a rough fabric, with a pair of obviously well used cargo pants and some sandals that were falling apart. His skin was so many different colours you weren’t sure what it originally was and you certainly couldn’t tell where he was from. His sunglasses seemed to be the only things not partially broken and they kept his eyes hidden, just like the hood kept most of the face hidden.

Looking up, he glanced at the posters around the station and shrugged, shouldering the bag which he with him and trudged through the entrance, looking around at the buildings. He shrugged again.]
Home sweet home.

[Out of nowhere, a skinny young man dressed all in black with short black hair drops down from the roof of the train platform]

I hear you're looking for information? I suppose we could work out a deal for something, though it doesn't look like you have much on you to trade...

[Looks a little disinterested, does a few quick calculations in his head then bounces back almost immediately]

Oh, well, I'm sure you'll be able to pay me back later. But where are my manners? I'm Izaya Orihara, professional info broker. What would you like to know?

[He bows theatrically and grins.]

[personal profile] seeyousuffer 2012-08-22 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[A tall, solitary figure stands at the station.

Kirei turns the pocket watch over in his hands, studying it with a blankness that has nothing to do with being dazed by his arrival here. His eyes are simply empty. He opens and shuts the watch. He hears a voice--voices--coming from it, but he doesn't try to use the device yet.

He holds the communicator in one hand, and with the other, he reaches up to touch the cross at his chest. Then he glances down at the hand itself. The back of it is marked with jagged, curling, red symbols. He concentrates on them for a moment, then hesitates, as if expecting something to happen. Nothing does.

Without a noise, he turns and walks into the city. From here, he can see the tower of the cathedral rising up into the sky, and he makes his way toward it. Where else would he go first, in this strange place? As he walks, he remains tense, alert to all his surroundings. This isn't where he's supposed to be, and he's experienced enough unusual phenomena to know he doesn't trust it.

[Looks exasperated]

Dammit, I thought I left these kinda people in LA.

[Harry continues, snark dripping off of every word]

Right. Attention-getting. Yeah, um, I know when I want to get attention from someone I usually do it with MASSIVE FUCKING EYE DAMAGE. Yeah. That seems pretty normal. I mean, all my friends are currently blind, but it's cool. I don't have to worry about what to wear when I go out.

...so, why are you trying to get so much attention?

((OOC: Sorry for the weirdness...I'm, like, ridiculously brand new to this, still figuring things out))

[The angel lifts her head in the direction of the voice and gleams at the man. What a stud! She gives a wink and a subtle wave with her fingers.]

Oooooo! A deal you say? Well that is just something I can work with, especially for a guy like yourself. Are there other hotties like you in this setting or do you just come packaged as you are, alone and single?

[The man seems completely unfazed at this, though he does grin a little wider, and has to squint at the massive glowing lightness]

Oh, there are lots of people here. I just sort of picked up the job of unofficial greeter, and since I'm an info broker, I thought I could help you out, since you seem a little lost. As for people like me...

[He laughs out loud]

I'm not sure there's anyone like me around here.

Oh, you live here?

[Hey there, Ian. How's a dead woman as a welcoming party? Is that great or is that great? Look, her left arm is even a little "bony". Haha, get it?

After a moment... A maggot pops out of her ear and laughs.]


Of course not. This place is the die for.

[She has to take a laugh at that and makes her way closer to the other man.]

Heh. Well that would make two of us, though it is no secret that I am an angel. A Grade A one at that! But I will gladly accept your help, boy. What information can you give me?

[Ian tilted his head every so slightly before reaching into his pocket for a disposable camera and taking a picture of her.]

I do now. For a while at least.

[He doesn't seem phased by the maggot speaking.]

[personal profile] graceful_dead 2012-08-22 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
What was that?

I don't know, maggot.

[And to Ian:] What was that thing?

[Emily is still getting used to the watches making moving pictures, this is all amazing to her.]
crankshawphotos: (by the sea)

[personal profile] crankshawphotos 2012-08-23 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
It was a camera. [His voice is low and quite, as if it isn't used much and his hood still obscures his face.] It takes pictures so you can remember events more easily.

[personal profile] graceful_dead 2012-08-23 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, too bad Victor isn't here. I'm sure he'd love a "picture".

[Oh, this is his favorite kind of person. He grins wider and moves up close. Meeting an angel seems to have briefly shocked him, but he covered it all right.]

Well, that all depends on what you need. You can't leave. I'll tell you that for free. But it isn't all bad. This is a wonderful place, full of interesting people. You should probably look for someplace to live. And something to do while you explore the place. It's worth looking into.

An angel, you say? Well, that's very interesting to know. I had my own theories, but it seems like most of those rules don't apply here. I'm not really one for mythology. I prefer social sciences.

[In his head, he's already putting her on the gameboard, figuring out what piece she should be, but he's perfectly charming towards her]
