Character Meet and Greet~~ At Night

[smk_mods]

Rules | FAQ | Premise | Applications


I. Main Street Usa!

It's twilight, edging to evening, and yet the streets are still alive with citizens and Apprentices (that means you!) alike. Take the time to admire the lights, pop in and out of the cafes or just relax in the garden.

Weapon shops and magic shops are open late into the evening this time of year, so feel free to enjoy yourself before you equip yourself for the life head.


II. Apprentice Training 101- Evening Class

Same commons behind the fire house, same weapons and wands available for practicing your skills-- though this time under the cozy street lights and the bright blues and tired purples of a fading summer twilight. Strike at the training dummy or try to catch fireflies with whispers, its all up to you.


III. Things that Go Bump

Are bumping. And they mean business. A few level 1 corroded monsters are scurrying around Main Street causing havoc and it's up to you to stop them. The question is, is it early in the evening or do you dare to face the creatures at the night's darkest hour?


IV. It's time to Sparkle!

Everyone has a spark of imagination. That is, in fact, why you're here! It's time to shine with your own scenario! Just try to keep from causing too much trouble.

I hope you realize you're brilliant. I'm like all on my timeline~ Who's that girl? /squint

He thought so!

She was being her usual malicious self, but there was something off about it. Something he couldn't put his finger on. There wasn't manic energy. But neither was there blatant evil. As if she was treading some middle ground. It could be too she was just tired and hurt from whatever had tried to do her in, so wasn't up to giving it a hundred percent, but he kept that in the back of his mind.

"It's amazing how little we can actually solve by ourselves. Nine times out of ten, we have to have other people help us along the way and that tenth time is usually Madame de Pompadour." It was a joke that hurt even as he said it, but then he had been a ridiculous man then as he was a ridiculous man now.

But when she said she was injured before arriving... It wasn't any moment he could pin down. Or at least, not pin down and match with her energy right now. While giving credence to the idea it might be of some intermediary time he wasn't aware of-- he was pretty sure this meant that she was ahead of him on the timeline.

'Spoilers', River coo'd in his head and suddenly he missed her like a devastating blow to the liver, or as if it was no longer there. Just an emptiness. She'd gone back to that tenth face who couldn't know or appreciate her until it was too late.

"Well!" He smacked his lips. "That's depressing!" Which it was. "We can stop and get some bandages if you want. Or if you're not actively dying we can get some ice cream and sit on a fire escape somewhere and I can try to convince you not to drip ice cream on people's heads on purpose."

Awwww! You are, too! :*

She holds herself very carefully, looking a bit stiff as she waves a dismissive hand. "Well I'm not dying now. They used some of what they cutely refer to as 'magic' to fix that." Nope. Not dying today. She still has that to look forward to whenever she leaves this place but that's a worry for another time. Yup. Just locking that away in a mental vault and throwing it in a dark corner of her mind.

Instead she smiles, stepping closer and looping an arm around one of his. "I think that sounds lovely. And you're more than welcome to try. I may even let you think you'll succeed." She winks up at him. This feels achingly close to old times. A time before they became enemies. A time before the drums eroded her mind and drove her to madness. He'd managed to bring her further from the darkness than she'd been in a very long time. Maybe she can try again... Since he doesn't know about that.

<3!

"It is magic, as it happens. The law on which this universe functions. Magic and science and belief. Interesting mix." He lifts his own arm to hold hers against him just a little, almost on instinct.

"Ah, you're too kind." He doesn't trust it. He also doesn't want to know what is going to happen when Rose comes into the equation. "Rose is here by the way." Better to get that out of the way. "It's... complicated. Have you noticed that relationships always are? I always say, this time I will keep a proper distance and it never happens."

[not_so_different]

Him holding her arm drew a smile from her. She let herself lean against him, just a little.

"Interesting, especially coming from one once called Merlin." Her eyes twinkled. It was so long ago and so far away, but she felt closer to her memories these days. It was a small comfort.

"You're just trying to flatter me, dear. Actually, I don't know that you've ever called me too kind before." but that she was complaining. "Rose... That was the blonde one, right? So difficult to keep your little groupies straight. Though if she's the only one here that's easy enough to remember."

[guitar_hero]

"Don't get used to it." Being called too kind. "Though I wouldn't mind it. Except if it's in that sarcastic or ironic way. Like a monkey paw wish. Don't be a monkey paw. And don't get that idea in your head. In fact forget I said anything."

He was babbling. Not a good sign. She would pounce on that like a cat.

"And yeah well. It was a good name at the time. And I know you know which one she is. In fact I'm pretty sure you know all of them." Which is why he knows to never fully trust her. "Haven't you ever had one? A companion? I mean, aside from Lee and...the Rana." A smirk. They must have been at one another hammer and tongs trapped together as they were. He didn't know which one he felt sorrier for.
