TEST DRIVE MEME
Scenarios:
> Hometown Hustle - Are you still recovering from Locke City's recent Alien Invasion? Are these murders in Vegas really getting you down? Or are you excited, for one reason or another?
> Help, help, I've been robbed! - your bag or wallet's just been snatched, or is in the process of being snatched. Catch the snatcher or rough them up - you may or may not be surprised, if you come to blows or a chase, to find on throwing a punch that they're much quicker and/or sturdier than you'd have expected. Maybe someone will dive in to back you up.
> Monster encounter! There's a Vermini infestation going around in Las Vegas that may present itself in either of two forms. One is swarms of little black... insects? Tiny little wingless people-shaped ugly fairy things? The second is animals with a nose for the Numbered and an aggressive streak with some distinct mutations - you might find a lizard with disturbingly human ears, a bird with teeth, etc.
> Transportation/travel. You're at an airport or train station, whether to escape or take a tour to a strange-events hotspot, or plain go on an innocent vacation. Mix up your bags or timetables, grab a pre-ride snack, chat up those with the same destination, get or give directions, find yourself receiving an ill-timed item Echo in front of security - whatever you can think up!
> Say - is that one of those superhumans you've spied on the street? Yes, I do believe it is - you've seen them on the news/read about them, that or their looks give them away! Go on and ask questions of them, be it for serious answers or an autograph, depending on who you are.
> ...And it looks like you're a superhuman yourself. Looks like that hollowed-out feeling you got was followed by a mutation, or some strange thing in your brain. How're you going to come to grips with it?
> Wildcard/Etc. Make up your own!
Prompts suggested by Alec and Zero.
no subject
Is there another kind of dragon that I'm not familiar with?
no subject
was that not obvious?
no subject
It was right in front of me this entire time. How could I be so blind? Hahaha.
You're a roleplayer, aren't you.
Tell me about your fursona!
no subject
too unreliable
i just spin stories on my own
although ive never heard of a fursona before
no subject
Anybody who calls roleplaying "collaborative stories" and describes writing as "spinning" absolutely has a fursona.
Is she a wolf? A mouse? A lion?
Let me know if I'm getting close. >;]
no subject
so why dont you pick what you feel works best?
you can use the me youre making up for one of your stories if you like
GO TO BED
Oh well. I still learned enough about you to know what kind of person you are.
And that's the important thing for me to take away from this!
(By the way? You're totally a lion. While we're speculating about things that absolutely aren't true.)
EXCUSE YOU she says about a notif she checked on her phone in bed
if youre like compiling creepy files on the people here or something
lions are pretty decent even if theyre not my favorite
theyre fun to follow around wildlife preserves
although it kind of sucks if they catch you
PEOPLE WHO ARE SURPRISED: NO ONE
I'm named after the messenger god, not the god of peeping toms and blackmail! (Zeus, probably.)
I'm just an exceptionally good judge of character, I guess!
Especially when people are threatening me. >;]
YOU DON'T KNOW MY LIFE
god of thieves
transporter of the dead to the underworld
its not as big of a stretch as youd think if someone really wanted to go that route
greek myths are stupidly flexible
anyway whose threatening you? everyone here seems kind of too low key for that
[people who are really naive in the ways of how come replies can be taken: Nyah]
no subject
I'll just let you go on thinking you're so much cleverer than you really are!
It's more fun for me that way.
And by the way, if you're looking for low key you're in the wrong pantheon! Hehehe.
no subject
greeks arent my gods of choice
besides being overplayed theyre just not as fun for me
i like africa and native american better
you can get better adventures out of them
no subject
Who knew you had a little Sekhmet in you?
Unless you mean the sub-Saharan countries. Which I'm afraid I don't know much about!
Maybe you could enlighten me. >:]
no subject
although we never dropped by egypt as much as id have liked
its a super neat place
but i wouldnt mind talking about the sub-saharan stuff if youre really interested
do you have anything specific you want?
no subject
I've got tons of time, and it's actually interesting!
Or maybe the subject is incredibly boring and it's just you that makes it interesting.
50/50 odds. Fire away either way! Hahaha.
no subject
a little while after creating people they began to fight among each other
because people suck no matter how long ago it is
and mawu asked the monkey awe to help her stop the conflict
but awe turned out to be a huge asshole and instead ran around telling people that he was just as powerful as mawu and could create life too
and because the people didnt know any better they believed him
so mawu called him up the the heavens to prove it to her
and he carved a person out of a tree and tried to breathe life into it
but it just sat there
he said hed go back to earth and tell everyone hed been lying, but mawu knew that was a huge lie too
so she made him some porridge to fortify him for the trip back and slipped the seed of death into it
awe didnt realize until hed eaten it all
and when he went back to earth he carried the message that only mawu could give and take life
no subject
But wouldn't it really be the one who created plants who controls life and death in that parable? >;]
Not to call Mawu into question, but I guess I just did! Hehehe.
Tell me more about Lisa and what made her different from Mawu before they became the same god.
Is there a specific story about them merging? Or is it more a case of people's memories getting muddled?
no subject
so
anyway lisa is actually a man
hes mawus twin brother and also her husband
she represents the moon and creativity and all those good feminine things
and hes the sun and bravery and a little hotheaded
they can be merged or not, it just depends on which story in the mythology as a whole youre looking at
there was no event that caused it, its just something they do
but they do say that when theres an eclipse, thats mawu and lisa making love
