WHAT I LEARNED IN BOATING SCHOOL IS -

[prosecutory]

TEST DRIVE MEME



HOW IT WORKS:

► STEP 1 | Post a comment with a character that's not in HH as if they're already in the setting; alternative version, post character who is in HH. Scenarios if you need 'em!
► STEP 2 | Tag around and get a feel for your characters, whether you're just voice testing or planning to actually app them in!
► STEP 3 | Post this all over your plurk and get people to join in on this jolly good fun. Don't forget: it's mandatory.

mmmm delicious copypasta

My castle. Not someone's house.

[she gets no more explanation than that. the second bit gets him to shift around a bit, a bit uncomfortable with the fact she's aggressively caring. this is so new...]

...Well, then. Thank you. But I'll be fine.

Castle? As in "A man's home is his castle"?

[He couldn't mean a literal castle, could he? His clothes did seem a bit old-fashioned even compared to her vintage wardrobe. And this place did seem to have it's share of strange people.]

So, why are you here instead of on your own roof?

[revulsionandderision]

...No. An actual castle.

[and what kind of phrase was that? he was going to have to use that now, maybe. it sounded like the sort of thing belle would say, but it didn't sound as nice coming from Tarnation Woman.

he grumbles a little, and frowns at her.]

There's no reason to be on my roof. [duh.] Your roof isn't the only one I've been on, but you're the only one who's... caught me. [yeah, be embarrassed, you grumbly nerd.] Anyway, I told you earlier, I'm watching... It's dangerous to be out at night.

You lived in a real castle?

[Okay, now she's a bit curious... Maybe he's from Europe? Or a fanciful rich guy who had a place built to look like a castle?]

Watching for what? Thieves? I reckon most folks would be more alarmed to find that a stranger was climbing up onto their roof. They might think you're a burglar and call the police on you.

[revulsionandderision]

...Yes. [he doesn't know what to follow up with-- "it used to be beautiful" or "i hated it" or "you didn't?", so he doesn't say anything more.

he hums again, and then sighs.]

I don't know what the police is. [so whatever it is, he doesn't care.] I'm watching for something. Stars. People. Animals. What does it matter?
