THE ON-DUTY MEME



We're all used to playing our characters in special circumstances--sharing a bath, AUed into a robot, in the rain, lost in the ball pit (well that's one way to get your extra hour)...but how often do we get to actually play our characters doing their day jobs?

This meme is for just that.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Write a starter about your character going about their day at work, wherever that may be.

If your character is a doctor, write them checking in on a patient, or having a meal in the hospital cafeteria. If they're a lawyer, write them at court. If they're a professional ghost-hunter? Yeah, that'd be a pretty neat starter too!

Be sure to include some sort of hook that allows other characters to join in the action, even if your character works alone. Maybe they brought their pile of research out to a cafe? Maybe they need help with something?

2. Respond to other characters' starters. Please tag out if you put a starter up. I know I can't enforce this, but no meme goes anywhere if people don't engage.

3. Thread. Have a good day at work, or perhaps an awful day at work.

[If it weren't for his visor obstructing his eyes, Thiirien would be able to see David furrowing his brow in mild confusion.]

'Zat like elves? 'Cause I've seen a few where I live. Just, you guys ain't common. I'm guessin' most of 'em come from somewhere else.

Yes, elves, that's the word men tend to use. Translating into your terms--Altmer, high elves; Dunmer, dark elves; Bosmer...[here, she gestures at herself demonstratively]...wood elves.

[megazero_to_superhero]

[There's only a glimmer of understanding when she mentions "dark elves," as David's certainly met some that would fit the notion—but he's never met an elf who went by "high elf" or "wood elf." He figured most elves have a thing for forests, anyway.]

First time I've ever met a wood elf, den. But uh —s'kinda far from a forest, here, ain't it? Notta whole lotta trees.

[Of course, David's used to thinking of places like Perez Park, Salamanca, or Woodvale when he thinks "forest." Places where the trees are so thick you can quite literally walk around on the treetops without any trouble.]

[mammothcheese]

South of the city, the Pale is very woodsy. Though no, this isn't where Bosmer originate from. It's just where I've ended up.

[Thiirien grew up in the woods many miles away, in the southeast end of the province. But that's still not the same as the beauty of Valenwood.]

[megazero_to_superhero]

[David grins again, a bit lopsided—and exaggerated by that cigar that's never left his mouth from the moment the wood elf first sighted him.]

I bet da elves I've seen in Paragon City've got a similar story.

[And let's be honest—that's probably true of most of Paragon's non-human population. The majority of which, in turn, are either heroes or villains, owing to their superhuman natures.]
