Tag into this post with characters you're thinking of apping to the game (characters who are not currently in-game or currently reserved by someone else). It can be just a tag, a brief EP, whatever you want. You can be new to the game, or simply want to test out a fresh pup. Tag each other with these characters or those already in game, and have fun.

Also, please include the name of their canon somewhere in or on the comment or on their profile page.

Yes.

Rather surprisingly so, given the way so many meant for my life to turn out.

[crown_prince]

[beams at him]

Well, then. That is all that matters. [holds his arms out wide] Come now, give us a hug.

[cast_iron_bitch]

I am not given to embracing, brother.

[crown_prince]

It was not that long ago, to me, that you would ride me as if I were a horse.

[takes a step towards him, arms still out and still smiling]

You make a fool of me.

[cast_iron_bitch]

[sidestepping to stare out at an engaging and scenic vista]

Do not make me feel sorry for you.

[crown_prince]

[sidesteps with him and widens his eyes]

Dearest brother.

[cast_iron_bitch]

For pity's sake, Auguste.

[stands very still]

Go on, then.

[crown_prince]

[drags him in for a very tight embrace and refuses to let go]

You have to return the embrace or we will both look foolish. So very foolish.

[cast_iron_bitch]

[trembling]

I believe that is sufficient.

[crown_prince]

Is it? It seems as if you are long overdue.

[lowers his voice, tone losing a bit of its teasing edge]

If you truly wish for me to let go, I will.

[cast_iron_bitch]

That would be for the best, Auguste.

[crown_prince]

As you wish, brother.

[cups the back of his head for a moment before letting go and stepping back]

Thank you for indulging me. Was it so terrible?

[cast_iron_bitch]

You ask me to speak of the amalgam of every dream I've endured for eight years as if it were nothing.

[crown_prince]

For what it's worth, knowing that you've suffered has caused me far more pain than any sword ever could. I never wanted to leave.

[cast_iron_bitch]

[quiet]

I would not have you suffer anything more, brother.

[crown_prince]

Nor would I have you suffer if I could prevent it, Laurent.

If I had a choice, I would come to this strange place and get to know you once more. You would be annoyed by my constant presence, I assure you.

[cast_iron_bitch]

Then you understand why I cannot properly embrace you. If this is to be a glimpse into my future, I would not have it snatched away.

[crown_prince]

I understand, brother. The last thing I wish is to make things more difficult for you.

If I do leave this place again, it will be at peace knowing that you are happy.
