EVERYONE GET IN THE CAR, it's TEST DRIVE TIME!

TEST DRIVE MEME

WHAT THE FUCK TO DO:

► STEP 1; Post a comment with a character that's not in HH as if they're already in the setting or alternative version, post character who is in HH. Scenarios if you need them!
► STEP 2; Tag around and get a feel for your characters, whether or not you're voice testing or planning to actually app them in!
► STEP 3; Post this all over your plurk and get people to get their big asses in here and force them to app or face the consequences. Oh, and I guess have fun. I suppose that's important, too.

[Elijah would definitely agree this...band needed some work, because good lord it seemed as though they weren't even trying! But he won't readily admit it, unlike someone who seems to be voicing his opinion rather well. Elijah is only at the very edge of the small crowd (he was errand running before deciding to pop in) and he can't quite place who that voice belongs to...but it's familiar enough that he'll scoot his way through a few bodies to see-]

Oh! [Well THAT explains a lot. Jeez, Dylan is the loudest one here...and people are starting to give him looks. It'd be terrible to leave him here by himself to offend any really awful music lovers, so Elijah does what any good friend would do.

He clamps a hand over Dylan's yammering mouth and pulls him out of the crowd, just as the band begins another awful song. When they're both in the clear, Elijah releases him. There we go!]

You'll find yourself in such a world of trouble, one of these days! [Ok, so the pulling wasn't necessary at all but it was pretty darn funny.]

Eli -- ?! [It takes all of Dylan's attention not to choke on his cigarette as he's dragged out of the crowd, which is a good thing because he would have probably popped Elijah in the nose!! except not, because it's Elijah who incidentally gets a free Shutting Up Dylan pass... so instead, he's left glowering.]

Hey, I didn't say a single word everyone wasn't thinking already! You were listening to that crap, weren't you? [HE HAS OPINIONZ!!]

[Oh, the last thing he wants is a pop on the nose...pinching and twisting is painful enough, thank you very much! Ahaha, but he knows Dylan wouldn't do that (or hopes so).]

Well, [Apprehensively, and then a little shrug.] I sort of...was.

You can't really blame them for trying, can you?? [Well if that could even count as trying.]

[which is along the same line of thought Dylan has. His face flattens.]

If it's going to sound that awful, then yeah. Trying is what practice is for. You try when no one's around to see how bad you are, that's how you get better! [And with that particular piece of wisdom imparted onto the world, Dylan vengefully snuffs out his cigarette with the heel of his boot.]

Ah? You made practice sound very harsh just now, haha![ But he isn't denying it's effectiveness, not when he's keenly aware of Dylan's talents, as well as his own brief shortcomings.] Right, right.

[Don't mind if he fishes into his jacket for a cigarette of his own. Errands, remember??]

What were you planning on doing after this, then?

[can he bum one off elijah... He spares one last look at the tiny group still listening to the awful band of awfulness, before redirecting his attention to the question.]

Uh, right, I need to go shopping. [He would have given any evil eyes for any jokes about 'domesticity', except he's used to having to shop for himself and his hobo friends...] How about you?

[sure he can, if he doesn't mind Elijah's brand???] I just finished.

[He was gonna grab something frosted and sweet somewhere close by but only to sate his sweet tooth. That's a shame, Dylan...Elijah LIKES buying groceries, picking out meals, but the whole false suburban environment is always a inherently unnerving.] You ought to get started on that, yes?

[It looks like he's about to head off but he pulls an apple from his bag instead, tossing it Dylan's way without much warning.]

Come on!

[He manages to catch it with one hand, momentarily surprised.]

What, you're gonna come with? [Not that he's displeased with the idea. It's not like they have all the time back home to hang out, thanks to occupying two different ends of the spectrum, so having the opportunity now is nice. He shines the apple on his sleeve, coming up beside him.] Isn't Meredith waiting up for you?

[whatever resentment Dylan has for that arrangement has thoroughly lived its life back when he was a GIANT DUMB BULLY, but there may be a trace of old childhood envy left over. hmph meredith!!]

[Elijah significantly brightens at the mention of Meredith, completely and still oblivious to whatever reaction it may bring otherwise.]

Ah, that's right! Meredith is at the house, waiting for me...[He gives a little sigh and rests a hand over his chest. Wow if you squint hard enough you can almost see the SPARKLES...just barely..]

But I'm sure he has errands of his own. I can skip out for an hour or two. [Elijah smiles at him and it probably isn't as devious as he makes it seem but somehow, he still manages.] Is that alright with you??

[WOW gross sparkles!! He crunches into his apple with a little more force than necessary, chewing.] Yeah, sure. We can finish up soon so we don't leave him wondering.

[not like he cares!! Dylan brightens up though, brushing the subject of meredith aside.] Got any recommended places? There's too many stores around that I haven't checked them all yet.

Oh, is that right? [Now he looks all too prepared to spend a whole afternoon showing Dylan the best places to buy things- which may or may not consist of...EVERYTHING.]

You've been to Holly Mall, haven't you? I prefer the veggies from here, although H-Mart has your usual counter goods. Holly Mall, H-Mart...

...what uncreative names. [He stops, looks at Dylan-]

PFFFT, hahahaha! Isn't that the funniest thing?? [Elijah gives Dylan's back a SLAP, laughing and continuing along the way towards the Mall. He's just happy to hang around you okay...]

[Dylan ROLLS HIS EYES good-naturedly, keeping pace with him.]

Creativity ain't exactly the thing around here, is it? Look at the townspeople! Can't get much more boring than them. [the npcs don't even react when he tries to rile them up...]

[pffft, riling up the npcs is as useful as anything else in this city...which translates to IT ISN'T. They usually just stare eerily.]

Ah, the Landlord likes to keep things simple. You could probably tell, it applies to all of Holly Heights. [He pulls an apple of his own from the bag and bites into it.]

Ehs ah liddle creepy! [Chew chew chew.]

[table manners WHO NEEDS THOSE!! it is decidedly creepy, and it's a thought Dylan's had more than once. he huffs aloud]

Has anyone ever met the guy? [He glances over at Elijah as he asks. however elusive the landlord might be, he can't hide forever, and maybe he expects Elijah to be one of the few who's met him.]

[He's too busy enjoying this apple now to reply right away, but once the question does sink in, Elijah chews thoughtfully and with a distracted hum.] Hmmmm...

He makes uninvited house visits from time to time. Just to check up on things, mind you. But as soon as one sees his face, they can't describe it, nor remember it when he leaves...[Elijah's tone becomes more ominous as he speaks, until he's close to a dark whisper, sliding his gaze over to him with a shadowy, hooded look...............]

[JUST KIDDIN'!!] But of course that's what I've been told! He's never visit me before.

[A shrug!]
