Entry tags:
[meme] Test Drive
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.

Yes, please. Leo says that two pairs of eyes are better than one. He says that a lot when I lose things in the house.
I point down the direction I was walking.
I was going this way because I already looked the other way down the street. Do you have somebody you're looking for? I can help you look for them, too.
no subject
No. I don't have anyone.
But, hey, all the more reason to stick together, right? This way it is.
no subject
I walk up to the lady and hold my hand out.
You have me now. I'm Jack. If we know each other's names, then we can be friends.
no subject
I'd like that, Jack. I'm Michelle. So I guess that means we're friends now.
no subject
Definitely friends. Is this your first time in the City?

This is my second time here. But I don't know how it happened either. I think it's some kind of magic. Last time, I was at school with Grandma and then I blinked and I was here. This time, I was at the supermarket. But I don't remember how I got back last time.

Sometimes I wish I could take all the people in the world that I love and put them all together. Not in a place like Room, but just close, so that everyone can visit each other.
What's your home like?
no subject
My home... This might sound a little crazy, but I'm still trying to figure out what it's like now. I was inside, for a really long time, and I didn't get to see much of what was happening. Then it was only a few minutes after I left that I wound up here.
no subject
I was inside for a really long time too, in Room. Ma had me in Room, and we didn't get out until after I turned Five, because I grew big enough to understand about what's real. Old Nick kept us in Room and wouldn't let us out.
I squeeze Michelle's hand.
Is it kind of like that?
no subject
It's just like that. A man named Howard brought me to a place he'd built and wouldn't let me out, either.
You and your Ma must have been very brave, to get out.
no subject
I think it must be hard for Michelle too, so I turn around and give her a tight hug. The kind of hug I would give Ma. I wish she was here.
Yeah. I was brave. But you were brave too. It's not just brave when you get out. It's brave when you're inside with the bad guy. I hope you don't go back there.
no subject
She leans over a little, enough that she can return Jack's hug without pulling away. God, it's been a long time since anyone hugged her. ]
Don't worry. I'm definitely not going back there, no matter what. The bad guy can't get to me anymore. And it sounds like — Old Nick? — can't get to you or your Ma again, either.
no subject
Sad is not always a bad thing, Grandma told me, but I hope Michelle feels more happy than sad.
Good. If we see Howard, we'll call the police and the police will put him in jail. That's what they did to Old Nick. Ma told me... there are really bad guys out there, like Old Nick and Howard, but most people aren't that bad. If we stick together, the really bad guys won't get to us.
I lean back a little so I can see Michelle's face.
And we're friends, so we have to stick together.
no subject
Of course. That's what friends do, right? We stick together. And we make sure no bad guys can get to either of us again.
no subject
Yeah. Sometimes I think I want to be a police officer when I grow up, because then I can stop bad guys everywhere. But I'm not big enough yet.
I look at Michelle, and I remember Ma when she sat in her room — the one in the house with the hammock — and talked about all the things she wanted to do before Old Nick stole her. Some of them, she can't do anymore. I hope Michelle still can.
What kind of job do you want to do?
no subject
[ It's a strange thing to consider now. She'd stopped thinking about the future the way she used to when living in that bunker, and that hadn't changed with what she saw when she finally climbed out. Now, though, maybe she'll have a chance to revisit all of that. ]
I've always wanted to design clothes.
no subject
I'll try. Or maybe I could be a teacher, that would be cool too. Because then you get to help people learn things.
I smile when Michelle tells me about her dream.
What kind of clothes do you want to design? I like pink clothes, because Dora wears pink. But when I wear pink, people think I'm a girl.
no subject
[ She smiles in turn. ]
I design all sorts of stuff. And I think if you want to wear pink, you should wear pink. It's a great color.
