TEST DRIVE MEME

Welcome to the outsiders test drive meme! You can use this post to tag with characters you're interested in bringing to the game or who you'd like to try out in the setting.


Please set all threads in one of three areas: the landing zone, where your character get off the shuttle upon arrival; the markets, where your character might run into any of the station's alien population; or in the residential district they'll be staying in.

φ Please give the name and canon of your character in the subject line! OCs (including Mass Effect OCs) and AUs are welcome.
φ You may use threads from this post as a log sample, so long as it has at least 5 of your comments in action tags or prose.
φ If you app in later, you can keep CR from this meme if both players agree to it OOCly, and so long as you keep interactions to these starting areas.
φ Apps and reserves and are always open! Our next processing round runs from 4/20 through 4/26.
φ You can find more information on our setting here, and our navigation is here!

[ Okay, York isn't expecting somebody to shove her, and she turns to smack the person's hand away, but then she sees that armor and her eyes go wide, because -- what? No way. ]

Whoa -- Jesus, Tex? Is that you?

who are you

[mineisbigger]

[ this chick knowing her isn't unexpected, especially if it's some kind of sim program. still, Tex tilts her head in a way that speaks of confusion. and confusion only pisses her off. ]

Yeah, who the hell else wears black armor? [ bow chicka bow. ] I have no idea who you are, for the record.

u know B)

[neverknocks]

[ ah fuck this again ]

Haha, uh, yeah, I guess you'd know me as a guy, wouldn't you? Look, I know you're probably not gonna believe me, but I'm York.

miss new booty?

[mineisbigger]

[ yeah it's this again SORRY YOU ARE +1 TOO MANY TITS YORK

Tex's head doesn't move, just stays tilted in that same position. ]

Right. You're Agent York, and I'm the leader of the Covenant. You really think I'd fall for something like that?

more like miss big booty HEYOOOOOO no idek

[neverknocks]

[ sorry Tex she's pretty used to this routine by now. She doesn't even look all that faze. ]

What, you wanna see my dogtags? Here.

[ She digs them out from underneath her shirt, pulling them up over her head and dangling them out in offering to Tex, one eye cocked. ]

I get it, it's weird, so I've just got two words for you: alternate timelines.

throw my hands up in the ayer sometimes

[mineisbigger]

[ tex actually takes hold of the dogtags, pulling them forward a little to examine them. she could have just lifted them off the real york -

ah, but changing that "m" to an "f" would have left some marks. she stares at them a little longer before letting go, folding her arms. ]

Alternate timelines? Sounds like a bunch of scientist crap.

[neverknocks]

You think I don't know it sounds dumb? But trust me, it's true. C'mon, seriously, ask me something.

had to check the date on yo log for this

[mineisbigger]

[ tex doesn't move for a moment and then speaks. ]

The fight with Agents Maine and Wyoming, how'd that end?

no worries :D

[neverknocks]

[ York gives her a rueful smile, but she winces all the same. Man, this is gonna sound like bullshit. ]

Like shit, that's how. C'mon, you remember -- I was just trynna give you a hand, but you weren't havin' any of it. And then that big brutish asshole chucked a grenade a little too close to my face.

[ She smooths her hand over her intact left eye, out of habit. ]

'Course, and here's where it gets unbelievable, but I got that thing fixed on the last wacky space station I was trapped on. But hey, keep the questions comin', Tex. I got your answers.

[mineisbigger]

[ okay, that's definitely something York was present for that Tex participated in recently. her arms are still folded though, her posture still clearly disbelieving. ]

No. Either you are York, for some reason sporting a set of breasts, which explains a lot, or you're a really ballsy imposter who's not going to get anything from me.

[ her way of saying she still doesn't entirely trust her. ]

So, spill, what the hell's going on?

[neverknocks]

[ oh my goddddd tex stahp why won't anyone believe york that she's YORK

whatever. onto more important issues. ]

Uh, the short version? For some big cosmic reason nobody goddamn understands, you got yanked here from your timeline, your universe, into this one, along with a bunch of other unlucky sons of bitches, yours truly included. Now we're all kinda stuck here, visitors in somebody else's universe, trynna get by.
