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!

How about when I fail Geometry? How about when I never get to go to college, not that I was intending to anyways? Will she get fired then?!

[ on no karson is pacing now it will only get worse ]

[sermonize]

[ yup. there it goes. the pacing. next is going to come a long winded rant. Kavi just knows it. with a sigh, he rubs at his temples... ]

Karson... She is not the only person that can help -

[ wait hold the phone. ]

What do you mean you were not intending to go to college?

[enrages]

[ he stops.

he stares.

he takes a deep breath, preparing to go 15 shades off the deep end, and then... ]

I'm not intending to go to college.

[ the challenge has been issued ]

[sermonize]

[ oh no. oooohhhh no no no. the not going to college thing... that trumps everything Karson had ever ranted about ever.

it also goes against everything that Kavi is here at the school for. he's supposed to be helping people achieve their dreams. 8T ]

And why would that be?

[enrages]

Because I don't want to.

[sermonize]

That is hardly a reason, Karson.

[ he gonna call yo mama. ]

Is it grades? Finances?

[sermonize]

"Not much of what? Corn or snow?" he teased. "Here I was hoping to sort of avoid them both."

It wasn't as if the area was horrid. Hot, humid summers and harsh winters happened to be the norm for a good portion of the Midwest. What Kavi was thankful for, when moving to Indiana for the first time was less snow. Less wind too, for that matter. It was nice to be able to walk downtown and not have to entirely worry about if the windchill from the lake was going to drive temperatures down into warning levels.

Her eyes crinkled "Unfortunately you still won't be spared from the treachery is snow. Though I do imagine it's nowhere near as bad as it was out there. The city is pretty good about getting the streets cleaned quickly.

"So I figure it was that family you mentioned that brought you here? Or did the cold really chase you away?" She teased right back, feeling fairly comfortable doing so. He seemed like a pretty chill guy, as far as first impressions went. She hoped she wasn't wrong in that assumption, last thing she wanted to do was overstep her boundaries.

[enrages]

Because I don't want to.

[sermonize]

Surely you have something you want to do with your life...

[enrages]

I, legitly, do not want to do a single goddamn thing with my life.

[sermonize]

Kavi laughed, rubbing the back of his neck. "Most cities do. It's just every now and then the snow and ice will end up overwhelming the snow plows or take them unawares."

Ah, now the real question. What brought him from the land of corn and occasional ice storms to the City of Locke. Yes, there was family here. Though that was not his actual motivation for doing so. Granted, it would be nice to actually get to know Karson. He was family...

"I would love to say that it was purely to be close to my nephew, but I'm not that great of a person. There was a job opening and I decided to take it. The fact that my nephew lives here is a happy boon."

[sermonize]

Language, Karson.

[ they are in school, after all. don't make him write you up a detention. HE WILL, GODDAMN IT. ]

[enrages]

[ SIIIIGHH ]

I, legitly, do not want to do a single thing with my life. A single thing that may or may not be damned by god above.

[sermonize]

That's better. Thank you.

[ but it's still a sad story to hear. does Karkat have no aspirations whatsoever? :'( ]

Now take a seat. If you're going to interrupt my lunch you might as well not stand around while we discuss why you don't think you want anything in life.

Maggie could understand that. She loved her mother more than anything but it was nice when she started traveling--she didn't have to worry about being dragged off on some crazy escapade. Honestly that woman how more energy in her than Maggie herself. There were time she worried about what she might be getting up to bu at the very least Maria checked up with her once every two or so weeks.

She shifted back on the couch, settling more comfortably on it drawing some of her hair away from her face to tuck it behind her ear. A simple silver earring, shaped like the Leo symbol encrusted with a tiny peridot piece.

"What kind of job?" She hoped she wasn't being too nosy but. Maggie just always was genuinely curious to learn more about others. Seeing where they came from, where they went, nothing was more inspirational than the lives of others when it came to writing her stories.

[sermonize]

The shimmer of silver caught his eye. It was perhaps her zodiac. He didn't realize she even wore any type of jewelry. Then again, Maggie did have quite a bit of hair on her. Kavi was sort of reminded of a lion and his mane, with the way that hers seemed to consume the space around her. His eyes lingered on the earring, perhaps a little longer than he realized. Her question brought his attention from her ear to her face.

"Oh. Well I took up a position at the high school as a guidance councilor," Kavi smiled. "I'm sure Karson will be thrilled."

Sarcasm. Kavi never told his nephew that he would be taking up residence in the city. There was a part of him that believed that Karson would likely not care either way. No, the man would just simply surprise the boy on the first day of school. Oh the look on the kid's face...

[ glare, as he thinks it over.

then yeah okay, he can capitulate on this one issue. karson plops down on a seat. ]

Why do I have to want to do something with my life? Why do I have to go to college?

[sermonize]

[ that's more like it. now he can listen to Karson - a task that tries his patience despite how much he loves his nephew. more importantly, he can start working on his lunch. ]

Unfortunately, Karson, we can't just sit there and do nothing once high school is over. If you want to live with Jack for eternity, then that's your choice.

That's just it, though. You have choices and it doesn't hurt to look at them.

She laughed a little at his tone. "That is the nephew, I take it?" She was a tough wistful. She was an only child so that meant no nephews or nieces for her. There were plenty of cousins to be had, however, and some of them had children that she enjoyed doting on. She only ever saw them during family gathers since they were so spread out.

[enrages]

I don't want to look at them.

[ wow we are now entering sullen babby mode ]

[sermonize]

Karson.

[ be reasonable. don't make him pull it from your stubborn mouth. ]

[phoenix_temple]

I'm worried about anyone else who passes by. You're not paying a lot of attention.

[dragon_blossom]

I am perfectly in control!

[ Displayed with a big sweeping swing that could probably really hurt someone. ]

[phoenix_temple]

If that's what you'd like to call it. [She grimaces.]
