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!

[Jamie has been dragging out to the mall by his mother as well-- ugh socialization. Thankfully she always caves in and buys him some new manga he wants at the book store, thinking she's actually giving him valid reading materiel(HA.) Sitting on the floor of Macy's (what is he, seven years-old?) reading his new volume of magical girls before looking up to see another boy around his age.

...Between those freckles on his skin and that shitty mom-cut-my-hair haircut Jamie feels some terribly strong connection between him and this other unnamed boy. However, he is always painful crushingly shy of speaking to anyone out of the comfort zone, you could say he needs more confidence.] Umm... ahhhh I, um..

[Look at that great big horse-face of his, how could they not connect with one another just by those blatant features.]

[Excuse you his hair is amazing. Better than...whatever you have going for yourself, Jamie.

But whatever. He's just going to stare, eyebrows slowly making their way to his hairline. He can feel the awkwardness radiating off of the other boy, and it's almost enough to make him feel embarrassed for him. Almost, but he was raised to be mildly respectful, so even if he'd rather about face and leave him behind...He won't.

(Also, he feels like he has to talk to this kid, like...he's someone important to him or connected to him in some way. It's not a feeling he's particularly okay with, but he can't deny it.]

...Hi.

[What is he supposed to do. Or say.]

Do I...know you?

Umm... [Is this one of those echo things..?] M-My names... Jamie.. I got to ah- Locke Junior High.. [Eyes locking to the floor at some point in his conversation.

If he didn't know this kid though school than Jamie's pretty sure this is one of those echo things.. yeah. It has to be something like that, what's the name coming to mind? Maybe.. Coco or-- no, that's not a boys name.. (or at least, not a real boys name. Don't watch an anime called Boku.)]

[The Lord is testing him.]

Oh. Do we have any classes together?

[Why are you staring at the floor gdi you're just making this encounter more awkward than it needs to be.]

I'm Marzio, by the way. In case you didn't know.

[Is this how you make friends with people who aren't your neighbors. Will his mother be proud of him.]

I-I donno ah..

[Marzio..? No, he doesn't know that name.] We might.. hey, ah- do you know what the network is? [Jamie's talking about the super secret members only club, he can't help himself however this really does feel like one of those echo things.

-And yeah, congrats this conversation only gets more and more awkward. His sweaty palms are going to ruin his new manga.]

...Okay.

[Christ.] Do you mean the like...Bunch of numbers thing? [He's a wordsmith, truly, but he does know what Jamie means.

Sort of. Vaguely.

He has an idea, anyways.

It would probably be less awkward if it didn't feel like he knew this kid and like he was about to trip face first into an echo. It was kind of awful all around.]

Yeah! So you do know! That means..! That means I do know you!
[Finally facing the person he's making conversation with, a-m-a-z-i-n-g.] We must have known each other in our past lives.. when I, or my reincarnation-- whatever, was in the military!

[!!!]

The- the military? You mean, the 1-4th? [Those numbers have to have some significance, and it's not that string for the network or anything.] I don't think I, or he, or whatever, actually served. [He's pretty sure he didn't do anything amazing with his life. Oops.

But hey, at least Jamie is getting a smile now and not the "oh god what a weirdo get away from me" look.]

W-was it that number? I didn't know the military had numbers and stuff. [Talk about canon blind, the number did seem familiar though..] I think he served, I remember he joined for some reason but I don't know why. I think it was for free college or something.

I think it was? And of course the military has numbers, that's how they keep things organized. [Don't you know anything.] I...don't know if college was a big concern for...whoever I was? It just doesn't feel like it was a big deal, going to school.

Yeah, school blows... to think he must have been a huge nerd or something. [UNLIKE JAMIE, YOU KNOW] ...Hey ah-- actually.. I think I do know you, like, not from just the network. Doesn't your mom sell that Avon stuff?

[Do you know how hard it is to not go "Seems like nothing's changed"? Do you?

Oh no. Jamie, we don't talk about Avon.] She does, yeah. [And it's super embarrassing to watch her try to sell to people sometimes.] Oh, God. Doesn't your mom sell that shit too?

Yeah.. I think they sell it together.. [His mother would kick his ass if he said 'shit' in public. He would over text or something she couldn't see but that woman could be right around the corner. Fear has struck this ones heart...]

Is she a really loud Italian lady..?

[Oh, poor Jamie. He's almost sympathetic, but. Nah.]

Loud is subjective. [Which is about as good as a yes as you'll get.]

[Ugh, this is that kid his mother keeps telling him about, how 'he's a little boy about Jamie's age' and 'they should be friends.' Gross, Jamie doesn't need friends unless they understand and appreciate the value of anime.]

Oh.. [Awkward as ever, switching his manga between sweat palms knowing it had to be getting warped in someway by now.]

So, ah, I guess that's what we have in common or something..
