【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 coffeemachines. 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]
[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?
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.
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?
[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!]
[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]
[He laughs a little and scratches the back of his head, tilting it from one side of the other. Is he an explorer? Well, he does travel a lot, and in a way he explores alternate dimensions. But also he destroys them. So that feels dubious. He isn't exactly sure if that counts.] Not really . . .
[Mary tenses and her eyes narrow slightly, looking at this dude in a new light] Like a mercenary? [Dude, if you're a pirate, be prepared. she has brought a knife to this party and she's not afraid to use it. also, there are forks around. forks are great for murder]
I would hope so. [still not entirely convinced, but whatever... She will just smooth down her dress, and then take her coffee again and enjoy it in all its deliciousness] Your request filling reputation must precede you if you've been brought to this place. Did you travel very far for those requests?
We are strangers in a very strange land. [she smiles, because, well, that knife can only get her so far] Fortunately for us that first part can be remedied quickly enough. I'm Mary, a pleasure to meet you.
[What a strange person... She will just...shake his hand sideways] The world of request granters seems filled with interesting customs. [Ludger. Is. A. Weirdo.]
H-huh!? No, this is— [adasgl HOW DOES HE DEAL WITH THIS AWKWARD SITUATION CAN BE BACKFLIP OUT OF IT? HE WANTS TO BACKFLIP AWAY.] A handshake is—[He gestures to try to show what it's supposed to be like???]
[Still strange for a stranger and a lady, but it would be rude to point out any further, so she will just play along] Ah, oh course. Then we shall try again. [Weird, weird, but whatever, she extends her hand out like a handshake]
[He accepts it and shakes her hand, this time properly. Then he smiles as he lets go of her hand. See? A proper handshake! Just like they do it on Elympios!]
