Apparently, it's December!

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.

That there was a fire explains the coughing and the singed clothing. It also makes Julia at once newly grateful for the circumstances of her own arrival. As awful as it was to be ripped away from her life right on the cusp of what could have been great, at least she wasn't in the midst of something traumatic. There have been far worse moments in her life that she could have been taken from and tried to absorb all of this in the wake of. It just makes her that much more intent on treading cautiously, not wanting any of this to be harder than it has to. She has no real answers, and as far as she knows, no one does, but she can still offer as much as possible.

"I don't really know how, either, except that you did," she says, her expression still a little apologetic. "The same thing happened to me. You're safe now, I can promise you that much."

"Safe?" he echoes, bewildered. That doesn't seem possible. It shouldn't be possible. That he finished writing out that last movement in time was a miracle; he doesn't get another. He meant for that to be the end, a final punishment for his crimes. It was enough to think he could have helped to bring that music into the world, a way to memorialize those he ripped from it, an apology.

A bit of ego, too, perhaps, to immortalize himself in song, too, and extinguish himself in the same breath.

But she doesn't know. She seems kind, and though that very kindness makes him uneasy with the certainty it's unwarranted, he doesn't want her to know. "You called it Darrow. Is that... America?" She sounds American, at least judging by what little he knows from music and movies, but to find himself suddenly halfway across the world seems almost as strange as his survival. The confusion is a relief, though, something to give his brain a brief pause from everything else hurtling through it.
