Test Drive Meme: The Overflow
PLEASE CONTINUE YOUR THREADS OVER AT THE LATEST OVERFLOW POST, THANK YOU.
Please note that all CR in this meme can be carried over when the game starts between characters that are accepted into the game.
Threads can also count towards third and first person samples on the application, just provide links.
Take a look at our OOC Meet and Greet post! Meet. Greet. Make friends. Have fun!
 THE OVERFLOW Since the last post is fast approaching 3k comments and getting laggy for some of our players, we have decided to go ahead and stick up the overflow post. Please continue your threads or start new ones here if you'd like. To make this easier on those continuing threads from the last meme, here's a handy form: Please remember to let your thread partners know you've bumped your threads over here as well! We started the meme early to give you plenty of room to do just that. With the City of Ariel grand opening only a month away, we are holding our first ever test drive meme. Tag in and see how your character would settle in the game. You're a fresh face in the city, newly processed, and arriving at a bustling time. The city is expanding and you are greeted first in the re-education center by your helpful counselors and then directed out of the building to a large festival. Be puzzled, make friends, have sex, or whatever you want! There are no restrictions on thread types played out here. Your first awareness that something has gone wrong comes during a groggy moment of semi-lucidity when you look around yourself and find that -- instead of wherever you remember being last -- you're in a chair, in a room with a man you don't recognize. He's sitting behind a desk whistling to himself and sorting paperwork. The whole atmosphere might remind you of a high school guidance counselor's office, only with far more comfortable chairs. You were brought to Ariel during a very special time! There's a large festival going on celebrating the new expansions to the city and everything is decked out for it. Everything is bustling and vibrant in the city today because of the celebrations. There are decorations up, food vendors set up all along the streets, kissing booths, games, and just about anything else you can imagine an event like this would have! The people of Ariel are out and about as well, some are in vibrant costumes and others are just checking out the sights. Some of the more exhibitionist types are even having a little more fun out in public than you may be used to seeing back home. As soon as the grogginess from your arrival passes, you are allowed to leave the re-education center and see it all for yourself. Upon exiting, you are even handed beads of various colors, several of each so you don't worry about running out. Each color has a special meaning listed below: pink - toys These are to aid you in making a connection with others. Show your interest in others and tell them exactly what you would like to do with them by sharing the beads. If you would rather take a different approach, feel free to walk around the festival and see what (or who) catches your eye. The point is to relax and get settled in your new home. | |

Take a look at our OOC Meet and Greet post! Meet. Greet. Make friends. Have fun!
no subject
Still, he's polite enough - or amused enough - to offer her a bow in return, even if he doesn't have a hat to sweep off so dramatically.]
Quite a name you've got there. What do your friends call you?
no subject
Just Mindfang, most frequently, though any one of the three words will do for casual conversation.
no subject
[And really, he does approve. She's his kind of woman. Boundless, impulsive, with a streak of violence and all wrapped up in a beautiful, if bizarre package. Definitely something he can roll with. At least he knows that as long as she's around, he isn't going to be bored.]
So what do you do when you're not dancing on tables or getting into impromptu swordfights?
no subject
[She tosses her hair, hand moving to her hip. It should look like silly posing, and it sort of does, but it looks natural, too, like she couldn't not be dramatic even if she tried.]
I'm the cobalt corsair, the blue buccaneer, the pirate queen of the Alternian oceans! Or I was, until a dragon annihilated my fleet. Such are the tides of fortune. I am adrift! And this bizarre place will serve well enough as a new adventure.
[She doesn't sound bitter about it; a little wistful, perhaps, but for the most part she accepts the upheaval of her circumstances with grace. She hardly even thinks of it as a downfall; it's just another chance to begin again, with nothing but her wits and her newly-minted arm against ever the more spectacular odds. And it makes a great story.]
no subject
Shit, really?
[Eventually he settles on a chuckle. It's not mocking, exactly, as much as it is disbelief and then the admission of belief beneath it.]
I don't know which part of that is better, "pirate queen" or "dragon". You are one hell of a woman, Mindfang.
[Hell, he's not even sure he has any stories that can top that one.]
no subject
[She wants it for herself. A sky pirate, wreathed in light and flame, how fantastic would that be? Her ambitions are limitless, even though she knows she probably won't be the one to tame it.]
no subject
[Because they certainly have that in common. Ambition. Possessiveness. A pirate queen, obsessed with gathering adventures and experiences as much as treasure... yeah, that sounds like the kind of person Greed could get along with real well.]
You sound like you've got stories for days.
no subject
[She lost her first bottle somewhere in the dancing, but no matter. She swipes another from a passing tray and knocks back a swig.]
no subject
[Casual theft is certainly nothing for him to be bothered by. If anything he just reaches out a hand to get some himself.]
Wanna share your ill-gotten loot?
no subject
[By which she means, she hasn't taken chunks out of anyone's limbs yet. But her offense is tongue-in-cheek, and she readily shares the bottle.]
no subject
[Consider him dazzled by the scenery. A nice strong drink sounds right up his alley, though, and he's more than happy to take the bottle from her and take a deep swig.]
Not bad. Maybe I can get used to this place.
[Better than being dead.]
no subject
[Yeah, sorry. You humans all look the same to her.]
no subject
[He pauses, looking Mindfang over again, and lets out a laugh.]
Well, maybe not quite as much.
no subject
It is reassuring, not to be the only traveler, however much I may be the greater oddity. Was it unlike this, the place you come from?
no subject
[He casts another look around, admiring the scenery. Some things are definitely different, though. Very, vibrantly different.]
People where I came from were a little less eager to, y'know, cut loose, though. And I'm guessing this is nothing like home sweet home for you, eh?
no subject
no subject
Guess you're right about that one. [His smile widens.] And I'm sure they've got plenty of nice stuff for an entrepreneur to get their hands on.
no subject
no subject
[His sunglasses slide down and his eyes are wicked.] Though I guess it depends on what you consider treasure.
no subject
Although, as a priority, I'm definitely going to need a few of these dresses. I'm not used to not being the most flamboyant person on deck.
no subject
We'll just have to make sure you stay the cock of the walk, then, gorgeous. Look at the crowd. [He sweeps out a hand.] I'm sure some of these party animals have a wardrobe to be proud of.
no subject
Something sleeveless, I think. Show off all my ragged edges.
no subject
Definitely. Why wouldn't you want to flaunt an arm like that?
no subject
It's even new.
[She tosses a leg over his, straddling his thighs, and runs both of her hands through his hair. The claws on her right hand drag slightly over his scalp, the metal fingertips on her left sliding more gingerly. She looks sad for a moment, wistful and wanting. She wonders what shape his horns would be, if he had them.]
no subject
You should probably break it in, then. Make sure it's up to par.
