TEST DRIVE MEME: Good weather?

[theearth]

IT'S SPRING
I almost literally can't believe it isn't snowing right now just to piss me off.

How it Works
Due to the nature of Save the Earth, it's a more complicated process to play in than most other games. With this in mind, it can't hurt to experiment a little.

Post your character and in the comment share a few details regarding their reincarnation. Repeat if you have multiple ideas you want to try out, as many as you like. It's also suggested that you set a scene and there's a few prompts below to help there, but think outside the box if you like. Then tag around to other threads and help your fellow prospective players to test out their characters and the variations on them. Don't be afraid to presume a little CR to make a scene flow more freely, or to assume an Echo or two. If you have an app, complete or in progress, you might want to link it.

Current players may also use these meme to test out specific future Echoes, or as a general meme. Certain scenarios may even be transferred to game canon if both parties agree and it does not conflict with in game events.

Prompt 1: Location

The Park
The sun has got his hat on, hip hip hip whatever go to the park.
Ice Cream Parlour
Don't lie, this is the first place you want to go the moment the sun even half appears.
The Pool
That, or here.
At Home
Because naturally when it's a nice day you want to cower inside.
Barbecue Party
Abandoning all paranoia, everyone has turned up at a barbecue. It's the wildest party imaginable.
Beach
Apparently Locke City has one. I bet it's nice.
Country Hike
All that nature out there can be visited too.
The Street
Oh man, this is the worst location prompt ever. I apologise.

Prompt 2: Event
Suddenly, Rain
And here's you in just a white shirt and short shorts.
A Public Echo
One of those places up there triggers an inexplicable Echo. Are you going to have to grab a hat to hide those new horns? Maybe it's even your first.
A Date
I hear nice weather gets people in the mood for romance. I'm against it, personally.
Here on Business
Mysterious goings on have been detected in the area and it's your job to check them out. Some suggested shenanigans could include plants that try to eat people, a red herring new statue or maybe this thing popping out from behind a bush to play a saxophone in an irritating manner. Go nuts.
Getting Used to a New Echo
Maybe this one is a pain in the butt, either if because it's noticeable or hard to control. Or maybe you just like to practice.
Everything is Normal
Things aren't bizarre 24/7, you know.
Alien Invasion
The Martians* are attacking! They want our brains/world/women/hot dogs. Take these freaks out... or cower in terror.

*Martians are not actual Save the Earth villains.

Comments

[regwaine]

[ Gwaine in his past life was a Knight of Camelot. Cheerful and flippant, problems with authority and a bit of a vendetta against nobles, not always the sharpest crayon in the box, and rather prone to drinking. And to taking a sword-first, ask-later approach to most big issues in life. But ultimately kind-hearted and friendly, and as reliable a friend as one could ever hope for.

Gavin Lloyd, current resident man of construction, is a bit less mature than Gwaine got 'round to being, and a lot more reckless with himself on the whole. Might rate it as a 'hot mess' tier of troublemaking. Still loves a pub and a friendly conversation, though. Left home about as early as he could feasibly manage it and hasn't looked back since- hasn't particularly wanted to, actually. Once he made it out of town, suddenly it was all he could do to keep moving for a while. Like looking for something before he could figure it for what it was. Made for a fun few years, anyway. He's come to something of a rolling stop here lately- come on, what's not to stick around for? Seems like something new and strange is happening every week, and that's beautiful. ((idk I am awful at this IF SOMETHING MAKES NOT ENOUGH SENSE YOU CAN KICK ME There is sort of an app in progress here but alsjdf it is basically full of ridiculous outlining dumb stuff. anyway: ))


PARK.

Dude, gotta love the park. Gavin surely does. Sometimes in more of a relax and people-watch capacity, but occasionally (like today) in more a manner that involves shouting "heads up!" and tossing a frisbee at the first person to establish visual contact with him.

Theoretically, it seems like a great way to meet someone new. In practice, it's at least a lot of fun to try.

OBLIGATORY BAR SCENARIO.

Drinking quietly! Or possibly betting on something! Possibly meeting at the urinal? Or could it be there's a huge scrap happening inside and some completely innocent upstanding fella has been thrown out onto the sidewalk? Really, anything goes. Come have nothin' but a good time.

SO A PLANT IS TRYING TO EAT US WHILE SOMETHING PLAYS UNFITTING SAXOPHONE MUSIC?

As listed in potential Here On Business promptings. Jesus, but he never took to gardening or band music. Is it kosher to be tearing leaves off of this thing, or is that some sort of groin-kicking equivalent he's never thought about-? Will that monstrosity ever silence itself?

Man, fuck it, if it's trying to swallow him, he's fighting dirty. If he could just get to his lighter-- ]

How we holding up?

PARK BROS also I copied your formatting because it was pretty deal w it

[bursting]

[ ...wow, THANKS DUDE, you totally just conked him in the head with that frisbee thing. Never mind why he was in the park to begin with, guess who's glaring daggers at you now because in practice you really fucking suck at aiming and he's got the bruise to prove it. ]

Watch where you're throwing things.

[ Asshole. ]

deals with it forever

[regwaine]

[ All innocent here, man, don't know what's got this guy in such a tizzy. Which is to say he is smiling like he hasn't a care in the world. He's aware that this is not the most polite thing done when you've just thrown a frisbee into somebody's head, but.

Eh.

You only live once. ]

Yeah, sorry about that. [ Nope. ] Gets so hard to control these things when they're out of your hand, you know?
