[meme] Test Drive

[citycouncil]

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, a blurb about the character, a line of dialogue, or 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.

And then there's a child. "A crow might snatch eyes if you leave them so wide," he cautions. He rubs his head and tries to discern where he is. "This place stirs no memory."

Saoirse giggles. He talks funny! She tucks a lock of hair behind her ear and steps a bit closer. He's big; his arms are huge and dirty, and he looks like he's been in a fight. She reaches over and drags one pale, tiny finger down his arm.

"I do stand in need of a bath," he says as the child notes the state of his skin.

She nods, but has the presence of mind to look contrite. She hopes she didn't offend him. She smiles and looks around to see if anyone else has noticed him. Then she pulls a tag out of her pocket. It has her name written on it, as well as a few other things.

"I have not the tongue to say this, I fear," he says, giving her a rueful look as he offers the card back. "Nor sense to read it."

Saoirse tilts her head a bit. He can't read? But he's a grown-up! She bites her lip briefly and reconsiders. She taps her own throat. She can't speak, and he can't read. How are they going to talk?

He laughs, because what else can one do? "You cannot break words?" he asks.

[selkiesaoirse]

Saoirse's never heard of 'breaking' words, before. But she thinks it must mean 'talk' because that's what she'd tried to tell him. She shakes her head, and looks a little nervous. This is usually when other people start to tease her, or give her looks that mean they're sad for her. She doesn't like those times.

Gannicus's look softens. "You make your purpose clear, better than many that can speak," he tells her.
