[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.

"Your name is Patroclus?"

The Patroclus?
R bends to help, regardless: sometimes people can look worse off than they are when they arrive, and sometimes they're just badly off.

"Are you badly hurt?"

"I am..."

I stare at my stomach, where Hector's spear was but a moment ago. There is blood there, my tunic is rent as though a blade did pierce the fabric. But as I pass my bloodied hands over the skin, I can find no wound. Perhaps my hands shake too much to notice any cuts.

"I am not? But I was-- I was going to die."

Grantaire's relieved by that, at least, and he offers a hand. "As was I, when I arrived here, but here I am. Where were you, last?"

I cannot make sense of it. But there is no sand beneath me, no Hector above me, no Apollo plucking at the thread of my life like a lyre. Dumbly, I take his hand to climb to my feet.

"Troy," I murmur. "Which.. this is not."
