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.

Rose was really not so oblivious to miss the one-eighty in disposition, but she was still quite daft enough to walk willingly into the lion's den, or spider's web.

"Okay, let me get you to the hotel or castle rooms then. Someplace to rest up and I'll get you some... tea?" a shrug. "Sorry, I'm British. It's our solution to everything."

[not_so_different]

She smiled sweetly. Oh Doctor you really could pick them, couldn't you. So innocent and caring. So reminiscent of Clara and Bill and all the others, none of whom she cared enough about to remember their names.

"Tea sounds lovely, dear." She laid her own English accent on thicker than usual. Tea actually did sound good. The tannins might help her heal. "Why don't you lead the way."

[bigbadrose]

Hey now, Rose would point out sharply that they are reminiscent of her, as she is the original-ish. Other than Susan, obviously. Not that she knows about Susan.

Rose sets her bike by a tree, because even in this place, you'd have to be extra daft to steal it, and luckily they aren't far enough to bother calling a taxi. Though ironically the horse drawn carriage is run by the Doctor who argues with his horses all day. "Are you new here? I know one other bloke spoke of some pretty heavy injuries just before he arrived, that got all healed, but his were lethal, so maybe that's why? I'm Rose, by the way, Rose Tyler."

[not_so_different]

Don't flatter yourself, Rose. There have been so many before you. You're just the first after the war. Now Tegan. There was a fun companion to terrorize.

She nods a little, "Yes, I've only just arrived." Sighing a little sadly, she played up how tragic her situation was. Lost in a new world. Recovering from grievous injuries. Oh woe is her! "I'm afraid mine were lethal, as well."

[bigbadrose]

Gee, call her crazy, but she doesn't much want to relish the idea of being fun torment. Rose is just quirky like that.

She winced in spite of herself, empathy kicking in even when it's purposely being toyed with. "Damn sorry," it's your own fault you're hugged now Missy. "It's not such a bad afterlife though, yeah?" she tries to cheer her up! "Hell is apparently really unsavory," who would have guessed, "And no one gets anywhere else these days. I mean, not that I believed in all that, but apparently it does exist in most universes for most people." And Rose offers her elbow for support. As you do.

[not_so_different]

... She brought this on herself. Oh well.

Her smile is only a little forced, "You have no idea." Said the woman who once ran 'heaven.' Oh what a kind girl. She took the offered arm, "Oh than you, dear. Have you been here long?"

[bigbadrose]

"Mmn!" A nod, "Couple months now! That's a really long time for me. I get fidgety and wanderlust."

[not_so_different]

That got an eye roll, "Of course you do." No, Missy, you're trying to be nice! "well perhaps you won't be here long and you can get back to your... Wandering."

[bigbadrose]

"Nah, I'm good. Journey's destination and all that. I was looking for allies in a fight, and I found them, so I'm happy to just fight alongside them, instead of being a ghost."

[not_so_different]

"How... Optimistic"

It was almost sickening.

"though I suppose you're right. Anything's better than being a ghost."

[bigbadrose]

"Is it optimistic?" a face scrunch. "Not sure about that, but yeah, beats Hell, like I said."

[not_so_different]

Ever curious, Missy looked at her, one eyebrow raised. "Are you speaking from experience?"

[bigbadrose]

"Yes," Rose answered simply. "I shot Satan into a black hole, so he got his revenge on me the only way he could."

She shrugged. "It doesn't matter though, I won, he lost. The Doctor lives, the darkness is continually being defeated, and multiple universes thrive on. Doesn't matter how long I'd have to be a ghost or any of the rest, I'd do it all again."

Another shrug, "I can't tell you what afterlife is like though. There's different systems in different universes. My friend, Michael, was an architect for one, they're these beings that design the neighborhoods souls live in, Aziraphale and Crowley have more traditional heaven and hell, and Lydia accidentally saw the book of the Netherworld, and she's friends with ghosts. My version of being a ghost was more trying to actually reach through dimensions and virtually doing it blind. Oh, and Ghostbusters is real too." A third shrug. "Sorry, I can't be more comforting than that. But for now, it's best to focus on how great it is you're still alive, yeah?"

[not_so_different]

Well now, this was news. Rose hadn't been to her version of the afterlife, though she'd heard the girl had gone traipsing around different universes.

"Interesting. There seems to be quite a few of us here with death or afterlife experience. I wonder if that's by design."

[bigbadrose]

Rose wanted to reject it out of reflex, but didn't find herself truly capable. "Perhaps," she admitted slowly. "The spark to fight corrosion requires imagination, it might be that encountering death and work on my around it or thwarting it heightens that spark, or at least... Makes it easier for the mirror to latch onto us," she nodded slowly.

[not_so_different]

"Clever girl." No wonder he liked her. It was a ridiculous idea, but it was certainly worth considering. "facing death does have a tendency to change one's view on life"
