ΩUTSIDERS
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 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 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 open on 1/27; the game opens 2/2.
φ You can find more information on our setting here, and our navigation is here!

No. I am.. overwhelmed. But I also think that now is a good time to seek out information and learn about this place, rather than simply wondering how we got here.

[ she clears her throat awkwardly. solona can only hope that her cheeks aren't burning. ]

I'd rather not discuss it beyond that. [ he barely knows her. how can she broach the subject of her relationship with him-or another him? she can't. ] It doesn't matter in the context of our situation. Maybe someday I'll tell you all about it.

But now, provided you're willing to work with me, we should start finding some answers.

[He'll rub the back of his head. He doesn't completely get it. But okay.] That ... bad, huh? Well, good to know. Although if it was that bad, what makes you think now would be any better? Or do you think I'm really different from this "other" Alistair of yours? Not that I'm against speaking with you or anything, of course not. I'm just wondering since, you know. Not everyday you hear about another you.

But. Right, of course. I um... We should probably get moving. Standing here certainly solves nothing. So! Lead on.

[spellmight]

Yes. [ she pauses, and chooses to look up straight in to his eyes. ] I don't know that yet. But I'll never know unless I find out, will I? Your circumstances are different-I need to consider that. Beyond that, we are comrades in arms.

A- oh, no. Not this time. [ her mouth presses itself in to a line. ]

I'm tired of leading, I think. Three years is more than enough. It's your turn.

So! Lead on.

[meatshield_withcheese]

[A brief shrug.] Can't really argue that. But. Fair enough, then.

[Say whut. Nervous chuuuuuckling....] Haha.. aahh... Ah... Me? I...uh, really? I guess I can? But. Well. Don't blame me if we get lost. Which is more than likely. Very likely. Definitely, even. Honestly, I'm not even sure how I found the market to begin with. Are you... sure you want me to lead us anywhere?

[spellmight]

Yes, you. I realize that it's awkward to hear from some one you've never known. But I think you are more capable than you give yourself credit for.

[ and, well. she may as well explain. ]

The First Warden made me Commander after the Blight, and Arl of Amaranthine. Howe was dealt with-I hope in your ..version of things he will be, also. And things were a royal mess for a while. To put it lightly.

[ she gives him a brief, weary smile. ] I wouldn't mind following for a while. And I trust you with my life. You should work on trusting yourself. Once you're able to do that.. well.

[ she cuts herself off before she mentioned the king thing. that is dangerously close to their previous talk of conversation and. just no. he likes to feel needed and appreciated. and she thinks she's done as good as she can with that considering things for now.

and that she hadn't seen any of those blasted toys he likes for sale in the market. blight taken them. ]

[meatshield_withcheese]

Once I'm able to do that I can get us lost more efficiently, right? [A good laugh.] I'm joking, I'm joking. [Sort of. Trusting him so much when he barely knows her. And apparently they didn't even get along or fought anyway? Maybe this other him was actually really different because he can't imagine someone arguing with him so much to actually trust him. He should be honored or flattered or something, but that idea is only intensifying his worries. However simple a task it may seem to others. Hesitantly, he'll rub the back of his neck before letting out a long sigh.]

All right, all right. I'll lead, but if we get lost, you're in charge. Deal? [So uncomfortable with this...]

[spellmight]

You know, I felt the same after Ostagar. But some how we made it. Some times I still wonder how. [ a brief smile. ] I'll be right here if you need any thing.

Yes, that is fine by me. We're in this together, after all.

[ whether she likes it or no. to be truthful she is not sure what to make of this right now. SHE WILL DEAL WITH IT LATER. ]

[meatshield_withcheese]

Really? I guess that makes me feel a little better... [If only a little.]

Right then! So... where to start. Mmmn... Maker, how do you even decide a direction? [He'll grumble as he looks around for a moment.]

All right! Got it. How about... that way! [He won't necessarily wait long before just going off in his chosen direction. Oh, this is sure to go well.]
