[meme] open voice-testing for prospective players

[wynn]

Compiled from various memes at bakerstreet . Deal with it.

How it works:
1. Post as your character with Name | Canon if applicable | Preferences (as in whether you'd prefer no smut, etc.) in the subject line. You can choose the scene and prompt yourself or leave it for others to decide.
2. Others respond to your prompt or after going to RNG and entering numbers 1- 15 for a prompt.
3. Respond and play it out!
4. Play nice though. If someone doesn't want to play something out, respect their wishes.

You may use threads from this meme for your application samples!

1. Morning After; The morning after. You guys may have been drunk or completely sober, or maybe the victim of some unfortunately laced magical brew. You may remember or have no clue who this is in your bed or why they're there. But they're there. And you guys did it. Is this a total disaster or a blissful recollection of a night of magic?

2. Popo Shut Us Down; Oh crap, get to the getaway car! You may be innocent or have actually broken the law, but either way, you've got to escape those sirens because the cops don't know or care that you've got a license to kill. Car, boat, chopper, whatever you want, just flee the scene together and fast!

3. Anger Management; Maybe they said something insulting to you, maybe you just don't like their face, but either way you're hit with the overwhelming urge to punch this person in the face. So you do. And everything rolls on from there. Do you get in an overly dramatic fight full of fiery explosions? Is a friendship shattered? Who knows!

4. Wasted Together; You're drunk. The pair of you. So drunk. Shenanigans ensue.

5. Did the Riddler Design This Lair? You were on a mission, but now you've ended up trapped in a locked room. This room could be a kitchen or it could be a secret laboratory or something in between. Either way, you and your companion are forced to solve inane puzzles to get free...though the next room might be more of the same. Seek a way out!

6. Haunting the Fuck Out of You; You're haunting the land of the living as a ghost, and the only person who can see you is...them. Why are you haunting the land of the living instead of wandering off to the afterlife? I have no clue. It could be unfinished business or revenge, or it could just be a big case of it sounded like a good idea at the time.

7. Groucho Glasses. You're now in a very silly disguise of some kind because maybe there were budget cuts for this mission (Don Paolo you are not) and you just bumped into the other person.

8. OH NO YOU DI'INT. You're hungry and snuck down to the castle kitchen for a midnight snack. The fridge is empty. Someone just made themselves a sandwich with the last of the food, leaving only saltine crackers and a mostly empty jar of mayonnaise behind. Get them.

9. It's a Trap!! You have just reached the end of some ancient, mystical ruins in search of the magical artifact hidden deep within. Weird shit happens as soon as you try to take it (collapsing ruins/boulders/Indiana Jones theme optional).

10. Curses! You have angered a wizard/witch/powerful faerie/omnipotent entity/incredibly stereotypical gypsy/all of the above, somehow, because you're probably a horrible person. The next day you discover you've been cursed. The nature of the curse and whether it affected one or both of you is up to you.

11. That Old Black Magic; You have acquired a magical spellbook and decide to test it on yourself or someone else. The results are probably not as desired.

12. Watch Out, They Bite; You were bitten by a werewolf/cat/bugbear/dog/t-rex/tiger/dragon/whatever the hell else you want to have encountered on a mission. There may or may not be some additional side effects.

13. Cue the Angry Mob; It wasn't magic this time, but rather a science experiment gone horribly, horribly wrong.

14. Texts From Last Night; Either go to tfln, and select one, or make up one of your own!

15. Tied Together; you're suddenly stuck together, probably with someone you hate. What are you tied together by? Could be a chinese finger trap, could be some invisible force, could be handcuffs. Dealwithit.gif.

It's not my fault! I had a mission. [The look on her face is... well, pretty much a pout.] That's a lot of running and if I didn't eat as much as I did I'd get really dizzy and lightheaded and might faint and stuff.

[thebetrayer]

I was being kind of liberal in my use of the word magic. Meaning I wasn't going to talk to any wizards and forget on my own. [he shakes his head.] But, hey, if you wanna seek someone out and share this story with them? More power to you, man.

[asap]

Don't you think I would have if I could? [She twists her wrist impatiently.] Fine, where do you keep the sharp things?

[cabot]

Pity. I always thought that held a certain charm of its own.

[He looks her over appraisingly] But on second thought, you hardly have any Italian features, and you look too young to be married into the family, so I suppose that means your threats are meant to pertain to something else entirely. Maybe you'd care to expand, so I don't have to stand here guessing all day. It might get frightfully repetitive, after all.

[asap]

Hey, who's incompetent? [She sticks the glasses back on and smirks at him.] I get the job done. With style. And maybe. If they're not dumb ones like... wait around forever.

[Patience? Not Andie's strong suit.]

[thebetrayer]

You could help. [That tone of voice says "create a new memorable event with me :3"]

[ofapalacecracked]

I was bluffing! [She glances behind her. Oh God, the cops are on their way and this guy is a lunatic.] Okay. Bluff. I don't know anyone and if I did, they'd probably want to see me stomped. Are you going to just stand there like a jerk or are you gonna help me, 'cause I swear what I did's not really that bad... In comparison to a lot of bad things a person could do, but last time I checked, dogfighting is a crime, not person-fighting.

D'you think you're bein' funny, boy? [S-so offended over here, but in his distraction, a zombie grabs hold of his shoulder and goes for a bite, so he whirls the axe around, and sure enough, takes it out at the knees. It flops down towards the ground, and Dovan swings the axe down in an executioner's stroke. A hideous squelch occurs as its head goes rolling across the floor.]

... Ok, so maybe you've got a point.

[shootfirst]

[Her response is to slug him again, extra hard, on the arm, and then say sweetly:] Hey, look! Found one.

[everyredcent]

[Dry as the desert:] Yes, what a shame that would have been.

[sirstickuphisass]

Our job is reconnaissance, which generally involves not sticking out like sore thumbs. Something you're currently miserably failing at.

[cabot]

Are those my only two options? Well. Let's see then. Considering you're the minor here, it's likely I'll be the one to suffer for your actions one way or another, so it may be in my best interests to make certain you avoid any messy legal entanglements. [A sigh] Alright then. We'll take my car. Do hurry.

[bancroft]

I'd really rather avoid conquest sharing hour, not that I'm sure the experience wasn't... [uh] something, but considering my position, well. This sort of thing is rather frowned upon, you know.

[asap]

[She rolls her eyes.] Look, if you had superspeed, you'd get it. Ooh, maybe I can go get some pizza! There has to be a place somewhere that's open, right?

[asap]

No one'll see me if I don't want them to. [She says it like it's the most obvious thing in the world. She zooms away, the top hat and glasses tumbling to the ground. She stops a little ways away in a hiding place that's hardly impressive, but if Eric comes closer, she can be somewhere else in the blink of an eye.]

[effulgent]

Thought I was being practical. [Is treating dwarves like they're short un-PC? Oops. Spike's too busy killing zombies to care much. He swings his mace around his head and brings it down hard on the head of one approaching Dovan from the back. It goes down.]

[everyredcent]

Perhaps in Istanbul. You should check there first.

[sirstickuphisass]

[He tenses as she blurs away again and when he spots her, rolls his eyes]

What if they freeze frames on the security cameras?

[ironsides]

[And Dovan takes down the last one, turning in a circle, axe hefted and ready for more battle, until he realizes there... isn't any more. For now. He looks back at Spike.]

Where'd they all come from?

[everyredcent]

just because one's phone has a case on it doesn't mean it will survive a 5 story drop out the window

[everyredcent]

you would think it would be obvious, but not with the way this girl is carrying on about it

[everyredcent]

she should be grateful it was just her phone

[thebetrayer]

[uhhhhhhh] As of now? Nothing happened. Now and forever.
