| How It Works |
| Sometimes, memes can be awkward. There's always that feeling that, if you don't know the person behind the curtain, you'll be intruding somehow. Don't worry. We've all been there. Still, it's nice to have that little reassurance that hey, it's cool. We're all in this together and we just want to play. That's where this meme comes in! The point here is to play with someone you've never played with before, OR play with a character/canon you're unfamiliar with. The prompts provided include mundane activities, chance meetings, platonic fluff, romance/smut, fighting, and crack. This is pretty much the granddaddy of meme variety, so there should be something for just about everyone. INSTRUCTIONS - Comment with you character(s). In the subject field, put all the info that's relevant + any preferences. - Reply to others. Remember, the goal is to play with new people! - The initial set of prompts is in this post. The subsequent sets are linked GoogleDocs. - Use the RNG to get your prompts. - Have fun! |

FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS IT:
Nickov // Original
not sure where #1 will come in, but sure
He looked under the counter for anything he could use. A moment later, he flung a paperweight out. A dull thunk and cry followed by swearing as one of the men collapsed unconscious, his buddies pausing in their gunfire.
Nickov got a stapler ready to toss if Miss Swords couldn't get to them.
ok!
"Are you insane?!" he yelled at the woman, leaping over the counter and quickly coming over to the one whose arm had been cut off first. Ripping off the man's shirt, he wrapped it around the bloody stump to try and stem the flow of red.
"Call an ambulance!" he snapped at her before moving onto the man with the severed leg who was going pale really quickly.
no subject
But even with all his training, he found himself immediately overwhelmed the moment he appeared on Valcovla.
On the first breath, his body reacted to the poisonous air, instinctively taking on full sage mode. He had a greater resistance that way, and the hard scaly skin would grant him some protection from the elements around him.
He knew he was here to help a woman, and that he was looking for a man of two worlds. But he wasn't sure where to find them. For a moment, all he could do was take a look around and get some kind of bearings.
no subject
There didn't seem to be anything living in the immediate area, not so much as a weed, even the rocks themselves seemed to have retreated from the sand. But it wasn't entirely desolate, about half a mile from where he'd been dropped was an oasis.
The air might have been foul, hot and stifling for Minoru, but for Nickov, this was winter and things couldn't be more pleasant. Fed and watered, he and his friend Odyn enjoyed a moment of peace in the purple and red flora and fauna of the oasis Minoru wasn't far from. Odyn's large ears perked and he raised his massive head from the sand, nostrils flaring as he smelled someone, or something.
Nickov stirred and pat his neck before sitting up. "What is it?" he asked through a yawn, grunting as the ten foot tall beast got to his feet, dislodging him from laying against his back. He got up and followed and looked out across the sand where his friend was looking.
"Looks like we have company." he sighed and waited for the stranger to arrive, narrowing his eyes and drawing his knife from the sheath of animal skin on his forearm as the creature that approached was like nothing he knew. "Who are you?" he asked in his native tongue first, his other hand clasping Odyn's short mane. No response, he asked again, but this time in human, though the other was no more human looking than himself.
no subject
This place certainly wasn't pleasant. And when the first living thing he saw pulled out a knife, things had the potential to be even less pleasant.
The humanoid one spoke, first in a language he didn't understand, and then in one he did. Minoru's eyes opened wide. The facial markings, the scar, it was just like what he saw in his dream.
"You're the one I'm looking for!" He exclaimed with a smile. His voice was a little hoarse from the air, a slight wheeze already discernible in his breath. He was clearly no native. "My name is Minoru. I'm a healer. You're in need of one, right?"
no subject
The great beast turned a white eye on Minoru then nudged Nickov's shoulder with his nose.
"My name is Nickov, this is Odyn" Nickov said, giving his steed's ears a scratching before blinking and peering around Minoru then to the serpent sage. "How did you even get here?...You...you are not from Valcovla, are you?"
no subject
There's a lot of room for interpretation regarding dreams, and some could argue it was his teachers' way of getting some peace and quiet for a change. But snakes are the ultimate symbol of life and death, and this was how Minoru lived his life. The amount of people he'd been able to help made it all worthwhile.
"This is my first time in your world." He added, as though the effect it was starting to have on him wasn't obvious. He wiped sweat from his brow, and noticed the scales on the back of his hand were starting to look a little discolored. "Taking me a bit longer to adjust... than I thought."
no subject
"I did not think anything not born here could survive more than a few moments." he said then turned and beckoned Minoru into the oasis. "Come, its more comfortable here and there is water." he said, tail giving a flick. Odyn followed by his side and the three came to a shallow pool of water, it was warm, but clean. The air felt and smelled far more fresh and cool in the grove
Odyn laid down, tucking his legs under him rather like a horse would, Nickov going over to one of the trees and plucking down a hairy cantaloupe-sized fruit. Odyn opened his mouth and Nickov stuck the big fruit in. The beast rolled it around until he got it between his big teeth. A crack and Nickov removed it from Odyn's mouth, the two halves split open. The stench of rotting meat filled the immediate area but Nickov seemed unperturbed as he handed one half of the very ugly fruit to Minoru. "It is rot-fruit, smells and looks awful but tastes akin to watermelon." he said.
no subject
The oasis was a refreshing change. Minoru stayed out if the water, but just sitting next to it seemed to take a weight off his chest. It was actually pretty pleasant... until that smell was thrust right under his nose.
Minoru almost gagged. Meat wasn't something he consumed anymore, let alone rotten meat. But this was fruit... And apparently it tasted like watermelon? No way he'd turn down the gift of food, especially it it was something sweet. He could get past the smell.
"Thank you." He nodded politely, before digging in heartily. Truth be told, it was actually pretty good!
"I'll do whatever I can to help your mother. Do you know what's wrong?"
