Because all our characters are the modern reincarnates of the characters we know and love, you need a modern mundane AU! Post your character with a couple details about who they are now. Use a prompt to set the scene! And tag around.

->Stranding Shower Inclement weather has suddenly forced you to take shelter. There's someone else under this overhang or bus stop - this might take a while, so you might as well get to know them.

->Mafia Menace Armed thugs with catlike mutations are attacking someone to tell them to stay out of the metaplot! This will end well!

->Cliffside Calamity Vegas has turned into a city atop a mountain. Things are somehow intact, but now the front door to something you have to get in or out of overlooks a sheer drop.

->Superhuman Sighting You have an interest in seeing one of the numbered - is that one there?

->Superhuman Surprise You felt hollow for a moment, and now you're numbered! Suddenly you're that much closer to canon and manifesting a mutation, a power, or a strange memory! Probably in public!

->Wild Card Combine prompts or pick something less alliterative! Monsters! Cultists! Boring days at the mall!

... Lint.

[that seems reasonable. She sighs and walks closer]

You do know it's dangerous out here, don't you?

[akhorishaan]

Y-yeah, lint. My shower stopped working and the supervisor won't answer his phone, and it's been a few days...

[In Akhor's canon, dragons automatically change the dirt they sleep on into gold. So when Virgil goes to sleep when not completely clean...]

Um. Sorry? I don't think anything's happened in like a week, it looks fine.

[seed_of_memory]

Yes, well, a lot of this has been severely unexplored since the upheaval. Considering all the murders and everything else that's been appearing, it's wise to show caution.

[she came closer, the light of her flashlight causing the gold in his hands to glint]

... I thought you said that was lint.

[akhorishaan]

It's... it is lint. [There are traces of gold in around his toenails too, and in the empty holes where his earrings would go. Virgil's too confused to make a good excuse.] Or something in the water.

[seed_of_memory]

That is not lint.

[Fuyuka makes a face. She's starting to figure this out]

Sir, are you a numbered?

[akhorishaan]

It's totally lint! I... I wear gold lamay sometimes, okay?

[denialll! he's kinda dim but he doesn't wanna be numbered.]

[seed_of_memory]

[she adjusts her flashlight]

Then, pray tell, what is it doing in your ears?

[akhorishaan]

[He winces at the light.]

-It is? Uh. No, no, I've got earrings, they're cool.

[Fuyuka sighs]

Sir, please. You don't need to continue this charade. I won't compromise your privacy further, if you would prefer. I am not trying to make this difficult for you.
