TEST DRIVE MEME
NETWORK

So you've just found your CALL device and you're not quite ready to see what hitting the [TRANSPORT] button does. Instead, you start looking around on the messaging apps to see who you can talk to: the HERO Network for heroes, the CAD network for villains, and the CALL network if curious to see who might answer. Need advice? Want to see what other people feel about an issue? Go for it...
CITY OF NIGHTMARE

So you actually hit that [TRANSPORT] button and while you can't say that the City of Tomorrow where you started at isn't neat and all but there's just so much to explore. But as you make your way across the bridge, a sudden rainstorm begins. Through the gloom and the lightning, you can make out a single building in the distance. It's not particularly welcoming, of course, but it does at least look dry and reasonably sturdy. What could go wrong here? Hopefully, someone in there has an idea of when the rain might stop. Or... someone will come soon?
CITY OF ROMANCE

It is a singularly beautiful night out in the City of Romance, even more singularly beautiful than most of the nights there, which are usually pretty nice. The sky is clear and dark, and it's just the right temperature out for a late picnic or a night of stargazing. It appears that some enterprising soul has put out a number of blankets in the park, though there are a limited number of them so you may have to share...
CITY OF ADVENTURE

You've been in the wilds of the City here for the last few hours. Hot, sweaty, and more than a little uncomfortable given the number of mosquito, you would almost think that someone heard your silent prayers as you come through the trees and spy the most amazing looking waterfall. Obviously, you've learned that many things are not as they seem in this City and that the beautiful can hide all manner of mysteries... but damn if that pool doesn't look like it'd feel amazing to dive into.
WILDCARD!

Go wherever your heart leads you!

[ n e t w o r k | [CALL] | un: raising_cain ]
City of Nightmare
Hello? Anyone in there? Axe murderers and the like ought to know that I'm armed.
[ She had two of them, as a matter of fact. ]
And plenty dangerous.
[ That much was true. ]
But mostly I'm getting annoyed because it's wet out of here and I'd like to come in, please. Sooner rather than later?
City of Nightmare
I saw a creepy house. So I was sure that I'd find someone I know close by.
no subject
What in the world are you doing here, exactly?
[ She couldn't helpo it. She was looking for his hands, looking for a phone case or some such to find his CALL device. Which, really, was a bit ridiculous since he was here. He couldn't be here without one, which was what the lady at the big tower in the City of Tomorrow'd said. But how hadn't she found him on the network already? Her username wasn't exactly subtle. Then again, she had specified she didn't want to hear from people she knew. He was probably just being polite.
All the same, she threw up a dome of her own. Why was it that she forgot about magic at the silliest of times, especially when she wasn't with Skulduggery?]
I mean--
Not that I mind you being here, that is, but I didn't expect to see anyone like you here. Though I suppose I should, considering this crazy place.
[ Wait, what'd he said? ]
...were you looking for anyone particular in the creepy house or did we just cross paths through chance?
no subject
He gives her a sly smile.]
What? Can't a man take a little break every now and then. I finally found someplace Tipstaff can't find me. Don't ruin it. Though I don't know what you mean by 'anyone like you'. It's the robes, isn't it. I have transformed into a stodgy elder in your eyes, unable to appreciate a little adventure.
[He laughs.] No, I was just exploring. But then I felt something creepy and whenever there's creepiness afoot there's sure to be someone who automatically goes towards it.
no subject
[ Was she smirking just a little? No, of course she wasn't. She definitely wasn't teasing him a little. How could she? He was the Grand Mage, after all. What kind of disrespectful young woman did he take her for? ]
But I won't say anything. It can just be our little secret.
[ Which turned her attention back to the house. ]
Though I wouldn't say I went right for it or anything. I just wanted to dry off, after all. Then it just seemed, I don't know... worth exploring?
[ A faint grin back at him. ]
Especially with such esteemed backup.
no subject
[He can't quite hold a look of stiff disapproval, though he makes an effort for a few seconds. Then he grins again; he looks much less haired than he has lately, more like the man she first met before the responsibility of leadership fell on his shoulders.]
Not consciously, but you have a knack for finding trouble. I hear that's what makes you good at your job. [He bows and then straightens, snapping up a small ball of fire.] Backup to you? The honor's all mine.
no subject
Skulduggery'd say that finding the trouble is what makes me such a good nuisance. The good job is sorting it out.
[ But, her tone added, he wasn't here. And there was a creepy house to investigate with her wielding the combined powers of the elements and a touch or two of necromancy with the Grand Mage of Ireland behind her. She'd been in much more daunting situations. ]
All right, on the count of three, I'm going to try and open the door.
no subject
If there's any trouble, I feel confident in your ability to sort it out. I'll just stand back and let you protect me.
no subject
[ A snap of her own fingers, though she's using it mostly for light. It's harder for someone to knock a fireball out of your hands than it is for them to kick your cellphone away, after all.
And she opens the door to--
Nothing, seems like. A living room. A little dusty, a little spooky with the lightning and all. But... nothing's jumping out right that moment. And she doesn't see anything moving other than the light. There aren't any on and there's clearly no electricity but... ]
Let's just pretend I didn't just think 'could be worse' and stroll on in, hmm?

It's actually a really good answer.
What kind of happy, though?

So.
Feelings are really not the best thing for me to follow. Because that's how the whole thing turned into a mess in the first place.

un: runninggirl
or you start dreaming about them or thinking about them all the time.
but that could be bogus, i wouldn't know.
no subject
And mostly, I get more nightmares than dreams.
What about like, not going by the movies? Any experience there?
no subject
uhhh not going by the movies i mean. being around them is supposed to make you feel happy and like things are good, and that if something bad happened they'd have your back however they could.
and sometimes their smile is just so goofy that you want to make them smile like that forever. and keep anything bad from happening to them.
stuff like that.
