TEST DRIVE MEME

ΩUTSIDERS
TEST DRIVE MEME
Welcome to the [community profile] 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!

[Malcolm isn't the only one out and about in the markets. His eldest child is there too, grown up, trying to haggle with someone into explaining just what in the Maker's name is the gel she's supposed to be using for 'medical purposes'. The alien in question, a rather lovely lady of the blue persuasion, is actually being rather helpful, and the tension in Marian's shoulders slowly bleeds out.]

Not quite a potion, but it'll do. [It gets a raised eyebrow from the woman and she smiles.] Ah, never mind. Thank you. Thank you so much.

[With a smile and a wave, the woman departs, and Marian turns and tucks the little thing into the pack at her side. It's then that she catches sight of her father walking, her eyes widening in alarm.

No. No. It's just a trick. She's clearly had some bad elfroot after that dealing with the Arishok. There's no possible way...]


...Father?

[Hearing a voice he would recognize anywhere, Malcolm turns his head to meet his daughter's gaze. He's surprised to see her here, though perhaps not as surprised as she is in return. Despite his misgivings, he offers her a bright smile as he rushes towards her, wrapping her up in a hug.]

[She'll probably complain about it, being hugged in public like this, but it's a scolding that he's willing to endure.]

Marian, what in Andraste's name are you doing here? Your mother is going to kill us both.

[Her mouth opens and closes again, not unlike a fish, and when he crushes her to him her knees threaten to buckle. Oh Maker, he's real. He's as real as she is. And this might be some horrible dream or nightmare but she doesn't care. For the first time since she discovered she had magic, she throws caution to the wind and wraps her arms around him in a tight embrace.]

Mother's--

[Mother's dead and so are you.]

I think how Mother feels about this is the least of our concerns right now.

[She pulls away to look up at him.]

I can't believe... How are you even here?

A question I should be asking you! [He pulls away from her, enough to look at her face, and suddenly he notices that something is off. She looks older than last time he saw her, which was a mere few hours ago in Lothering. There she was twenty-one years of age, and now there's a certain air about her, like she's had the world on her shoulders for a long time.]

Marian, I -- [She's still looking at him in shock, which makes him even more concerned.]

Why are you looking at me like that?
unyieldingly: <lj user=unyieldingly> (it's time to trust my instincts)

[personal profile] unyieldingly 2013-01-25 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Can she bear to tell him? Will it matter? It's been far too long since she's seen him, since she's seen his smile and has had his arms around her. For just that moment, she felt like all of her problems disappeared. It's just her and her father.

She swallows thickly.]


I haven't seen you in years, Father. You're... You're gone.
