MARCH APP ROUND TEST DRIVE MEME

[nukeoleptic]

THE TEST DRIVE MEME

• Got a character you're thinking of reserving/apping next round? PUT THEM HERE! • Threads here can count as your third person sample! • Comment with your character's name and canon! • This is open to everyone! Also, test drivers can tag other test drivers. :) • Make up your own scenario or have them walk into all the doors or leave it blank for others to do it for you! Reserves are here, and open on February 23rd at 12:01AM CST. Application information (including the list of pending apps) is here, and they open on March 2nd at 12:01AM CST. OPTIONAL SCENARIO: After your character receives his or her bracelet and the run-down from the faceless maids in the castle, they walk out into the city to find aromatic flowers sprouting pretty much everywhere. Vines twist up the sides of buildings and creep across the streets, topped with enormous and colorful blossoms. Careful not to trip! Make sure to have fun, and as always, feel free to hit the mods or players up with any questions you might have! ♥

You can send him a message using your bracelet. Look, here -

[ Hermione steps forward, bringing up the contact list on her bracelet and picking out Draco's name. There is his inbox, ready and waiting. ]

He's safe and happy, I promise.

[How anyone could possibly consider being here to be 'safe and happy' is a mystery to Narcissa, but she does recall this girl's face (and the name will come to her, eventually - the surname is Granger, she things) as being a Gryffindor. Ridiculously foolhardy and optimistic bunch, and going by Draco's letters home, it's this factor that placed the girl there, and not in Ravenclaw as her marks might have suggested.

And there's her son's name, somehow held in the bracelet that all but matches the one she's also been given.

Narcissa clutches her wand to her chest, staring in a curious mix of hope and wonder, and fear of the new technology.]

...no one is safe and happy here, Miss Granger, or you wouldn't have the explanatory spiel memorised.

[Though some of the tension in her shoulders has eased. And there's still the matter of everyone else who's apparently here.

Perhaps this isn't a lucid dream.]

[brainiest]

Well, some of us are. A lot of my friends are here, people I had never thought I would ever see again, and I'm glad to have the chance to get to know them.

[ She relaxes, looking at her wrist and closing down the bracelet, fingers running over the golden gem there gently. ]

I can't really tell you anything about Draco's life, not really... It's not my place, Mrs Malfoy, it's not. But... It isn't any worse than being at home here, most of the time. I promise.

[silkandmirrors]

...do you know, that's precisely how I feel about finding my son, since I happened to be trying to find him in the midst of a war when this lovely place decided to snatch me away.

[Her own gem is red, though the significance means nothing to her, so far.]

Keep your secrets, if you feel you have to, but at least tell me where he is.

[brainiest]

They aren't secrets, Mrs Malfoy. I just don't think Draco would appreciate me telling you about his life. That's for him to do, don't you think?

[ She sighs, rubbing her forehead before she nods. ]

I think he lives in Loki District. I'm not sure what number house he is, but the rented houses there are very noticable.

[silkandmirrors]

...as you like.

[But she does lower her wand.]

I'll find it.

[brainiest]

[ She swallows back her sigh. ]

Good luck - and be safe, okay?

[silkandmirrors]

[Neither of those phrases are expected from the girl, and if Narcissa's mind were not still firmly in "find Draco and go home" mode, she'd examine that a little more closely. Instead, she files the information away for thinking on later, and shoots an irritated look at her own bracelet. The stone is dark red, slightly pinkish.]

If I'm not, I've no doubt you'll hear of it.

[But under that icy exterior is a hint of vulnerability, and it shows in her eyes as she turns away.]
