【the ❝TEST DRIVE❞ meme】
a roleplay meme to figure out who to app to eachdraidh (maybe).

♛ [so..how about for MARY, she's in the internet cafe at the station and she is currently mesmerized by the coffee machines. Don't think the presence of forks hasn't escaped her notice either, or the strange sight and smell of nearby french fries. What a crazy exotic modern place. Now she's just going to press a button and let out a small gasp as some coffee starts pouring out into the bottom drain thing of the coffee machines.] ♛ [as for TOBY he is at the welcome feast, looking for a drink, preferably a JD. Because he's rude and isn't really paying attention to where he's going, he bumps right into your character] meme code.

4 Mary

[twifork]

[Ludger smiles at Mary. What a nice young lady. It seems like she is being surprised by the coffee machine. They have lots of those in Trigleph, but a lot of Reize Maxians are kinda shocked by the technology, so he's used to this. He points to buttons, and asks,] Milk or cream?

[prioritise]

Oh, pardon me. [she looks at the machine as if it is magic, because clearly it is, and then remembering herself, smiles at Ludger] Milk, I suppose, thank you.

[twifork]

[He smiles back and nods. Then he pushes the button so that some milk comes out into her cup. Yay! Help for a nice lady.]

[prioritise]

But - that was - [some more astonished staring, before she smiles at him, because dude, that is awesome] That was remarkable. I have never seen anything of the sort. [she looks down at her drink, then at Ludger] And it's safe to drink?

[twifork]

[He smiles encouragingly and nods. To reassure her, he grabs a cup for himself so he too can have coffee and she can know it is okay. See? No problems!]

[prioritise]

[so...she follows his lead. she's sure somewhere Catherine would scold her for accepting a drink from a stranger, but whatever, this is cool so she will drink it up] I have never seen anything like this before. Are you an explorer? [dude knows his way around coffee, after all]

hey toby!

[depicted]

[What he gets is a boy, startled, jolting back and away from him. He immediately tries to make up for his mistake.] Oh! I'm so sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going. I hope I caused you no harm.

[His voice is sweet and innocent, as light and full of life as the notes of a flute. It is a very different voice from the one Toby knows.]

[monstrous]

[what the hell?] You what? [he looks Dorian up and down, then looks around them, before stepping closer to Dorian, his tone a whisper] And just whose benefit here is all this for? [because obviously Dorian is playing a long con]

[depicted]

[Um, Toby, that is Dorian's personal space. It's kinda flustering? Wow. Um. Can you not.] I'm not certain what you mean. [What do. What do.

Social protocol!]

My name is Dorian Gray. [He offers a hand.] It is a pleasure to meet you?

[monstrous]

[just going to look at Dorian like he's grown too heads, but he does slowly take Dorian's hand and shake it] Yeah, pleasure's all mine, I'm sure. Oscar Wilde, brilliant to meet you.

[depicted]

[Dorian looks a little bit startled.] Oh! Mr Wilde. I have heard of you. I didn't think I would ever meet you in person. It's a pleasure to see someone from home here. [He's so happy!]

Mary!

[aurvandil]

[He notices her amazed expression and assumes she's someone from another time or place that doesn't have any of these things. Even Aster is shocked by some of the developments in this place. But with a bright, wide smile he waves his arms grandly.]

Excuse me but I couldn't help but notice you're very lost. So try the donuts! They're delicious. Fried dough with icing of different flavours! I love chocolate ones the best.

[prioritise]

[While normally she would be gracious and on point, right now there is too much to take in to worry about any of that] Chocolate? Can I try one of those sort? [he seems pretty enthused by that one, so it seems a good start ]

[aurvandil]

[Aster is enthused by most things so that isn't the best standard. Still he rushes over to a nearby pastry stand, picks out a few doughnuts and comes back, a grin on his face as he holds them out to her with a flourish.]

Milady's doughnuts! There's white cake with chocolate icing and chocolate cake with chocolate icing. I grabbed extra ones with sprinkles, too.

[prioritise]

[It looks so strange and pretty and amazing.] This is too much! Thank you. [so many choices. decisions of state are one thing, but decisions of desserts are quite another...] I think, that one - [she points to the chocolate with sprinkles]

Toby!

[pettydabbling]

[The guy he bumps into is holding a wine bottle and looks like he has some jet lag going on. Or maybe he just always looks like that.

He blinks and reaches into his trench coat, pulling out a cross and waving it vaguely.]

Sorry, just in case you're another bloody vampire. Don't really have the time for this proper so, uh, Regna terrae, cantata Deo, psallite Cernunnos and all that.

[monstrous]

[what the hell? Toby does make a quick - but not vampire quick, because, well, this Constantine guy - grab for the wine bottles in his confusion though, because priorities] And all that. [amused, because serious, what the hell is this guy?] Have you met a lot of vampires?

[pettydabbling]

[He's currently feeling generous enough to let go of the bottle when he feels the tug, shoving the cross back into his coat.] Four of 'em since arriving. Started to think it was a bloody pattern.

[monstrous]

[laughs] Bloody, that's funny, because, vampires. But all that, that's not really real, is it, all grrr! [Toby makes large fake motions, mimicking how a child might pretend to be a vampire, then realizing he still has the bottle in his hand, moves to sheepishly give it back to Constantine] Think I may have grabbed this, sorry for that.

[pettydabbling]

[He makes such a face at the pun but then he winds up laughing too. It's so stupid and he's got enough of a buzz to say hell with it.] Nah, keep it. You sound like you could use it, too, mate. I'll get another. As for the vampires, well, you'd be surprised.

also for Toby

[depicted]

[Dorian smacks into Toby and since it's the welcome feast, it means Toby somehow landed in Seelie.

Dorian starts with a,] Do try to keep—oh. [Eyebrows up. Flat look. It's only his re-undead vampire bff.] Toby.

[A smile plays at the corner of his mouth.]

How did you end up over in this court? It can't be your appreciate for aesthetics, that's sorely lacking. Your devotion to courtly love, then?

[monstrous]

[so flat, flatter than a pancake] That must be it. [his tongue rolls around in his mouth to keep his own smile at bay] Can't say I'm surprised to see you here. This seems about your speed.

[depicted]

Does it? [The smile escapes, but Dorian turns it into arrogance.] Yes, it is a beautiful place, isn't it?

Why don't we grab drinks and take a seat? You can tell me how eager you are to serve your new king and queen.

[monstrous]

[Toby smiles too, but does his best to turn it into mocking] That's one word for it.

I have to say anything? I thought the eagerness was oozing out of my every pore.

[depicted]

Was that eagerness? [He leans over, stopping just short of Toby's personal space, to inspect his pores.] And here I thought it was sweat over being trapped in the court of light.
