image has nothing to do with anything
Random scenario test drive meme! For all you thinking about apping to our fair game. Because all our characters are the modern reincarnates of the people we canon reviewed for, you need a modern AU! Post your character with a couple details about who they are now. Use a prompt to set the scene! And tag around.

RAIN: The weather sucks and you gotta share a bus stop, overhang, or other cozy space with someone.

MONSTERS IN THE PARK: Doesn't really matter what they are, it's time to run and/or fight!

NEW ECHO: augh you were minding your own business in public and now you have feathers for hair, or you just had a vivid flashback to being a wizard, or suddenly you have your preincarnation's clothes on. Someone help! Or point and laugh, that works too.

NORMAL DAY AT THE MALL OR WHEREVER: Slice of life happens too!

WILD CARD: You can't be contained by these paltry prompts! Get out there and combine them or make your own!

Mai ... uh, last name to be decided // A:TLA

[maipokerface]

[ooc; Your character is likely to recognize Mai from the following:
- She works at a shop in the mall. For now we'll say hot topic, that amuses me.
- She attends Locke Highschool and will be a senior this year.
- She's apathetic, generally anti-social and a touch of a goth in terms of dress.]

------------------

RAIN;
Does it have to rain every day?

[That's probably an overstatement but frankly Mai feels like that's all it's been doing for days on end. She just managed to get under the overhang before a little coffee shop in time for a real torrent of water to be dumped from the sky. She stands, pulling those long sideburns from where they want to stick to her cheeks.

At least she hadn't worn a skirt today. She busies herself shaking the water from her umbrella with heavy annoyance.]

MONSTERS IN THE PARK;
[If there's one good thing about the echoes, they have a way of timing themselves just before you need them. Mai ducks into an alley, trying to avoid a few wandering dogs that look none too typical. She flicks a hand and the reassuring pressure of a knife rests against her palm in a way it wouldn't have a week ago.

She smirks a touch as dark-painted nails dig into the grip of the knife, her voice breathless and yet amused.]

This is kind of exciting actually.

NORMAL DAY AT THE MALL;
[What do you do when you're broke and the last thing you want to do is stay to listen to your mom and dad fight all day long? You go to the mall and enjoy things you can't afford to buy ever.

Currently Mai is enjoying a bookstore, flipping through some cheap book about some horrible bloody crime spree. Don'tcha love the crime section?]

OPEN;
[Make up something if you don't like these prompts, I'm game.]

[sugarslice]

No, I'm-- I'm fine.

[ NOT FINE. Certainly unharmed, but definitely nerve-rattled.

She's still staring at where the vermini had been squished into vapor and the rest had, apparently, climbed into the meat... case...

Contamination... ]

Should we... tell the manager...? [ Of course, right? She feels dumb for asking.

She hasn't the slightest idea that those were paranormal creatures to keep mum about. ]

[dominateartimus]

That's good to hear.

[There's a small nod from him, before he pauses at the mention of speaking to the manager.]

I think it would be for the best. We don't want anyone to get sick from a vermin infestation. You can go get the manager, I'll try to get rid of a few more.

[With that, he'll move to put back the things he grabbed and turn his attention to the other vermini.]

[sly_fox]

She laughed, prodding his shoulder lightly with her finger before returning his kiss. There would be plenty of time later to give him her full attention, though right now they had to think about getting Elise her nap. With a nod, she took a step towards the exit.

"Sounds like a plan! I'll make the call to the restaurant in the car, ok? What'd you feel like?"

She was indeed looking forward to a little time alone with Lucas too. It felt like it'd been a little too long since they'd last had a chance like this, and she welcomed it with open arms.

[toobig]

Well... I don't really have one I guess... I should just leave the city since I can't help anyone.

I would if I didn't have people I care about here, I guess.

[sly_god]

"It doesn't matter, just chose what is closest to home, so we won't have to wait as long." He said simply, shifting Elise in his arms as he could feel her nodding off against him already. Once her weight was adjusted, he began to walk toward the exit in step with Hannah.

He didn't really care what they chose to eat, since he didn't have any particular cravings himself. It was more a matter of he knew he should eat, otherwise he'd be starving later and end up gorging himself. Inevitably that would lead to him having a restless night, which frankly he wanted to avoid.

hair salon

[peacefulwinter]

[When she starts to trip over her own hair, Winter knows it's time to have it cut. It'll still come down to her calves or so, but as it stands it's to her ankles, which is a hazard for her. So she's sitting and waiting, Kindle in hand, checking the network every so often between chapters of the book she's been reading.

Until there's a series of sharp gasps, and Winter looks up to find a scene that worried her quite a bit: a lot of people staring at one person who, it seemed, had just found herself in a bit of a bind. A bind that she wouldn't readily be able to get out of. Punching in a quick set of text - 'Need a distraction, hair salon downtown. Possible numbered.' - she stows the Kindle, and makes a show of looking outside through the big windows at something that isn't there, popping her head through the door for a few seconds, before hustling over to Angeline.]

Hey, there's s-someone outside that's calling for you - it seems pretty urgent. C-come on, I'll take you...!

[She offers her hand to the girl in the chair, completely serious and slightly worried look on her face. She mouths, 'trust me', and hopes beyond hope the girl will believe her.]

[sly_fox]

Hannah grabbed her phone from her bag so she could look up the numbers of restaurants nearby that did take out. She was a little peckish herself, and she too figured it'd be a good idea to eat before heading out later that day. Otherwise she too would probably eat more than she wanted to actually consume.

With her phone in her hands, she looked at Lucas carrying Elise, smiling at them. He really was a doting dad, and she could see he was going to look out for the kid. He already spoiled her, but so did she. Honestly, she was proud to have him as a husband; he was everything she could have wanted. Marriage had never been the focus of her life, and she wouldn't have been devastated if she'd never gotten hitched, but... she was happy she found him. After quite a few shitty turns, life was good.

"Looks like its Chinese food. I think they were pretty good last time I got from there." She shrugged, turning her attention back to her phone, and the restaurant details on the screen.

Raven (Corbin Crowe) | Elsword

[rageprevention]

[A - Rain]
[It's pouring rain, and the last bus just left. That's what you get for running late, good job.

Except, uh, this other guy here... Actually, it looks more like he's too enthralled in whatever the hell is on his phone to notice he missed his bus. How long has he actually been here?? Who knows. Maybe you could ask if he wants to split a cab or something.]

[B - The Mall + Network]
[Today is, quite possibly, the most important day of Corbin's life. He's been waiting, planning, preparing, and finally everything is coming together exactly as he'd hoped. He is camped first in line for the release of World of Pocky Saints 2 with only an hour remaining before the mall opens.

Unfortunately, today is also the day his left arm decides to start turning into a freaky robot claw. Not exactly part of the original plan. Keeping his hand jammed in his pocket isn't going to work for long at this rate.

This is exactly the kind of emergency the network exists for.]

i think i might be growing claws. i need someone to hold my place in line at the mall.

[C - Monsters in the Park]
[So you're walking around in the park like any other day when SUDDENLY BEEEEEEEEEES

BEES EVERYWHERE

SWARMS AND SWARMS OF MONSTER BEES

and lo, Corbin is sitting on a bench somewhere, leaning intently over his phone, failing to notice the imminent bee attack. What an observant guy.]

b

[vilified]

What are you waiting for that's so important?

[Doug may not venture out to the mall all that often, but he's pretty sure that the last time he was there it wasn't selling anything that would be the first thing a person undergoing body horror would want taken care of]

leaves this here while I acquire more icons; B

[tatatarata]

[Takane just so happens to also be in line, though several people behind Corbin. She's drowsy when she checks the network boredly--not much else to do while she's waiting, after all, and...]

Wow. Sounds like someone has their priorities in order.

[rageprevention]

world of pocky saints 2

[He doesn't bother adding any more, because clearly that's all that needs to be said about how important this is.]

[vilified]

Did something hit your head at the same time you started growing those claws?

[rageprevention]

i've been waiting two years for this game, i had to camp here overnight just to be the first in line, there's no way i'm letting SOMEONE ELSE get a copy before me.

i just need five minutes. maybe ten.

A

[dancingonapin]

[And here comes Francis, running through the rain, feet splashing through the puddles as he chases after the bus that is already on the leave, umbrella threatening to fly away.]

WAIT!!

[He slows down as he watches the bus drive off down the road, groaning in frustration. His legs are soaked up to the shin.]

Damnit... Of all the bloody days for my car's battery to die!

[He tosses his leather bag onto the bench at the bus stop, before sitting down beside it, looking like someone had just insulted his grandmother. Francis doesn't notice Corbin at first, but when he does...

Well that's odd. Why did he miss the bus?]

... Sir, you realize that the last bus just left, don't you?

[rageprevention]

i am SHREDDING MY COAT POCKET are you going to help me or not

[rageprevention]

[He keeps texting for about a minute, totally oblivious to everything around him. What's so important that he can't even look up to see if he missed his bus, you ask? Someone is wrong on the Internet. He can't just stand by and let people promote inadequate stat builds. Every second he let's that guide stay up uncontested is a second someone could be investing in a shitty class build.

But eventually he realizes that someone is talking to him. He glances up a little nervously (stranger danger).] Sorry, what did you...

[... Oh. Right, the bus.]

Aw, shit. Not again.

[vilified]

Not if you're just concussed! You're not even making sense!

[rageprevention]

how can you not know what wops2 is, it's only the most anticipated mmo of 2013

[vilified]

Not as much as it ought to be, then; you're still not making any sense.

[he's thirty years old dude, give him a break]

[rageprevention]

it doesn't matter what the reason is, all you have to do is stand here in line for a few minutes while i figure out what to do about this thing with my hand. and don't let anyone butt in front of you.

[vilified]

Are you really going to fix growing claws in a few minutes?

[stagnantair]

So you don't...

[He's not above being a Lil Shit sometimes...]

Go on Mole Patrol?

[onlyleft]

I'm pretty sure asking me that could put you in jail.

[stagnantair]

[Ah, kids.]

I'm just using the terminology the doctor favors.
