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.

Go?! Why the fuck would I want you to go anywhere?

I only just got you back.

[more_magic]

I shouldn't have acted the way I did back there. And don't say it's fine, it's...I should have been more careful. I've seen enough of what Manuscript can do, I should have expected--

All that time making sure nothing happened to you, and I was the one who walked right into...whatever that was. Those assholes.

[takecourage]

Are you seriously still talking about HALLOWEEN?

[more_magic]

Yes, I'm still talking about Halloween. Also known as...yesterday, I guess, given that it's morning now. Wherever we are.

...where are we?

[takecourage]

Oh, this is so much more complicated than I was expecting. And that was a high fucking bar.

Okay, so what's the last thing that you remember?

[more_magic]

Because that's a reassuring thing to say, Stern.

I...you drove us--me--back to Black Elm. I went to bed, or tried. Must have, eventually, and when I woke up, it was...here.

I'm not going to like the answer if I ask you what the last thing is you remember, am I?

[takecourage]

...Probably not.

So, the best that I can figure out, this is like a...pocket universe? And we don't get to choose when we leave.

[more_magic]

Pocket universe? That's not...Manuscript can't do that. Not even Scroll and Key--they couldn't send someone to Hungary, let alone...

So we're stuck. Both of us.

[takecourage]

I know it's hard to believe, but not everything is to do with Yale, Darlington.

And, yes. But at least we're here together...

[more_magic]

Okay, I deserved that.

And, we are. We'll figure it out, get back home. This is going to be one hell of a report to write, Stern.

[takecourage]

I don't think there's much to figure out. People come here, they get stuck. Not everyone's lucky enough to know someone from home.

[more_magic]

If that's the only lucky thing about this, about being stuck in this city...that's not nothing. Not at all.

What else have you found out? How long have you been here, anyway?

[takecourage]

You're right. It's not, is it? God, I'm so glad to see you.

[more_magic]

I'm glad to see you too, Alex. Even after...I'm still sorry. About Halloween, no matter how long ago it was for you.

And that's still very weird to say, I want you to know. I don't approve in the least.

[takecourage]

It really wasn't as bad as you think it was, you know.

No part of me is surprised by your disapproving, Darlington.

[more_magic]

Then we'll call it another thing enhanced by whatever that mist was. Please tell me Manuscript ate some huge fine for it, at least. I can hope for that much.

And I'm equally unsurprised by...you know, that's just going to lead us in a recursive loop that won't help anything. You know what I mean.

[takecourage]

I could tell you that.

[more_magic]

Could but won't, is that it? You make a very aggravating Dante sometimes.

[takecourage]

Don't want me to start lying to you now, do you, Virgil?

[more_magic]

No, not when your particular brand of honesty is so refreshing.

[takecourage]

You miss me when I'm not around. And you know it.

[more_magic]

I do.

On both counts.
