monthly test drive!!

THE TEST DRIVE MEME

• Got a character you're thinking of reserving/apping this round? PUT THEM HERE! • Threads here can count as your third person sample! • Comment with your character's name and canon! • Make up your own scenario or have them walk into all the doors or leave it blank for others to do it for you! • OPTIONAL SCENARIO: After your character receives his or her bracelet and the run-down from the faceless maids in the castle, the first thing they realize upon stepping outside is that the city has been all but shut down for some sort of large festival. There are stalls set up along all of the main streets, selling everything from savory foods to desserts to clothes to trinkets, and the vendors cheerfully call at people as they pass, trying to entice them over. The stalls are all decked in incredibly colorful banners and flags, as if attempting to beat back the grayness still lurking in a lot of the city by sheer physical force. Small musical ensembles play on street corners, and one can't go far at all without nearly running into someone juggling or swallowing swords. Good luck finding your god's welcome house in this chaos - the streets are pretty packed with people just milling around! And have fun! ♥

Charlotte "Chuck" Charles | Pushing Daisies

[ruminating]

[ Exactly three hours, sixteen minutes, and forty-six seconds had passed since Charlotte Charles had found herself waking up, disoriented, in a place that most certainly was not and had never been her home. It had been two hours ago to the minute that she finally grew bored of arguing with the city guards, and half an hour since she had ultimately given up and begun exploring the city.

So far, she has been pleasantly surprised, drifting idly from stall to stall, trying to suss out the culture here. She is clearly both 1- lost and 2- new, but Lord help anyone if she sees his or her house bracelet -- she has a lot of questions, and is keeping an eye out for other travelers who might be able to answer them. ]

[His own drifting's just slightly more purposeful-- Ryan has a vague idea of where he'd been going, but it's ridiculously easy to get sidetracked by the bright colors, the displays, the... people he's very nearly on track to walk into.

At least he's paying enough attention to slow down in time, about to offer her an apologetic nod when he realizes that is a very unfamiliar and lost-looking face. He adjusts his glasses and gives her a smile instead.]

Hey, uh. You need directions or anything? This is all kind of in the way, isn't it.

Oh, good, finally. [ Chuck's entire face lights up then, in something like relief and joy, eyes ticking from his face to his bracelet and back. ] It's a little crowded, yes. Would you mind pointing me to Odin's welcome hall?

[ She pauses for a moment, contemplating. ]

And perhaps also walking with me and explaining what, exactly, is going on here.
