[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.

You are, yes. Very much so.

I'm not sure how much you know, so I may be telling you things you don't need to hear, but the short of it is there was an altercation. Eric murdered Sebastian Shaw, but took up his calling, wanting to kill all humans who threaten mutants. There was a division, Raven sided with him. I was critically injured during the fight, having my spinal cord irreversibly damaged at the T11 vertebrae.

We started the school, you and I, despite losing Raven and Eric. But the war in Vietnam got worse and the US instated a draft lottery in 1970. We lost many of our teachers and several of our students to the draft, and there wasn't enough left to carry on. You had developed a serum for yourself, to control your mutation, and you modified it to temporarily restore the neural pathways in my spine so I can walk.

It was a year ago for me. But I know about the Mountain.

Time works differently here.

[believe_everything]

I just take it. A friend taught me while I was-- uhm. While I was very drunk. I couldn't remember how to do it for the longest time. But then I did.

Shadow smiles at the memory. Mad Sweeney had been a messed up guy, but Shadow misses him sometimes. The coin would be warm in Jack's hands, like a little circle of sunshine.

Would you believe me if I told you he was a leprechaun? The biggest one I ever saw - taller than me.

[beaburningstar]

You have awesome ideas, Jack. I like the way you think.

Party pauses to hold the door open for Jack, then follows him in. He can smell the waffle cones and suddenly that seems like a super great idea.

How about this - if they're not okay, I'll keep you safe. I won't let anything bad happen to you, and you let me know if you see something I miss.

I've been working on that whole save the world thing. It's a way bigger job than I thought it'd be.

[bryanzilla]

You could be known as the one who isn't David... but if you feel the need to throw a tantrum, don't let me stop you.

[godcode]

Working on it.

Unfortunately, I'm having trouble locating Harold, and The Machine's not speaking to me... so it's not going to be easy.

Re: Torchwood

[cpt_harkness]

Isn't it? And it Just. Keeps. Happening.

[evilme]

It's interesting to meet you, too, Jack. Is that the word of the day? And where the heck are your parents?

[proudgoldstar]

I hope not.

Um, no offense.

I'm sorry, it's just— this is really weird.

[best_thief]

[Lila doesn't know what TV is, but his innocence is kind of cute. His parents are doing him a disservice, though, lying to him like that.]

Very real. I'm a sort of pirate myself, aboard a ship called the Night Spire. If I could find it I'd take you for a ride. Have you seen any docks around here?

[geniusmccoy]

Wh-

A serum that contains my mutation and restores neural pathways? What were the side effects? What are the side effects? How did - my mutation is controlled.

But Raven is here. I'm sorry, professor, this is a bit much to take in in one go. We could go find her, see what she knows. There is clearly, this is clearly some place outside time, I think. It's too soon to be sure, but that's why I brought material for research. Your T11 vertebrae?

Who would attack you from behind?

Re: Torchwood

[beaburningstar]

We don't have a lot of resources, the city does. And all the inhabitants are drugged so getting anyone to see the real problems is kind of hard.

Obviously you're good at what you do, sir.

[pix1exia]

Of course you are. What else would you possibly be called? What game you from?

Re: A Gathering of Shadows

[best_thief]

Sort of. The full skirt was useful to hide my knives, my mask, and some smoke tapers. They were concealed as the boning.

[Lila pushes her mask up on her brow.]

They don't, and it's their mistake. [She smiles, eyes twinkling with mischief.] What's your name? I'm Lila.

[godcode]

I think I'm okay with this.

[drainbamaged]

If I had feelings they'd be hurtin' right about now, Poole Boy.

[thebloodtraitor]

Oh, I haven't forgotten a thing. I just see it all now in a much stronger light. And what are these feelings, Moony? You found it easy enough to lie to me for years; how difficult is it to forget our friendship?

Regulus wasn't, actually. Harry's told me that as well. Not all Blacks are scum, Remus Lupin. Only most of us.

Re: A Gathering of Shadows

[codenameintelligencer]

[So openly carrying weapons like that was somewhat gauche but not everyone had been trained like she has. Overall it was a very clever outfit, even if a bit funereal. But it seemed like the sort of thing a finishing school girl would think of. Sophronia wished it was proper to just ask such things.]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Lila. I'm Sophronia. Is this your first time to Darrow? I haven't been in some time but it doesn't seem to have changed much.

Re: Torchwood

[cpt_harkness]

Ew, sir. Call me Jack.

[beaburningstar]

I'm not from a game... though it probably looks like I do.

Re: Torchwood

[beaburningstar]

Got it, no authority kink. Jack it is. You can call me Party Poison. Or just pick one of those and I'll answer to it.

[d_r_n]

Are you alright, sir? Do you need help with anything?

Re: Torchwood

[cpt_harkness]

Party Poison? Not the strangest name I've heard. What if I just call you gorgeous?

[whats_a_raccoon]

Hey! You smell like flowers; you seen a giant walking tree? Goes by the name'a Groot.
