Test Drive VII

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Time for another one of these, right in time for ATP tomorrow!

test drive meme!

Here's how it works!

➊ wanna play a character but don't have the time? or maybe you just want to test them out?
➋ well go for it! post them here like they're already in the game (text, voice, video or action), and have them talk to characters already in the big gay Garden! Be sure to put their name and fandom in the subject line, for those of us who don't know it.
➌ then app them because you know you want to. 8|

Happy hunting on the ATP!

How about this?

You just try to stay a few feet off the ground and I'll catch you if you fall.

[shy_flier]

E-even so... I really don't have any reason to learn, right? I heard these things go away pretty quickly...

[ Her ears lower against her head. ]

[hectorcantgofast]

What reason do you need other than 'it will be fun'?

[shy_flier]

Oh, um... hm. That... well it might be, but falling is never fun...

[hectorcantgofast]

As long as you don't get hurt, it'll just be cute.

[shy_flier]

It'll look cute to you, but it won't feel cute.

[hectorcantgofast]

I promise I'll catch you. Really.

[shy_flier]

Well... mmm.

[ She sighs, fluttering her wings slightly. ]

Alright.

[hectorcantgofast]

Let's see if you can get off the ground, first.

[shy_flier]

[ She just nods, flexing her wings a bit more. ]

Should I jump?

[hectorcantgofast]

[Lyn nods in return.]

I'm no expert but that'll probably be a good start.

[shy_flier]

Okay. Right.

[ Florina takes a breath, and readies herself, wings fluttering a bit. A little jump feels inadequate, but she hops up, wings flailing more than anything.

She ascends for a moment, before losing her momentum and tumbling back. ]

Aaaah!

[hectorcantgofast]

[As promised, Lyn is there to grab her so she doesn't fall over.]

See, you're already making progress.

[shy_flier]

[ Eyes shut for a moment, she leans against Lyn. ]

Thanks.

[hectorcantgofast]

No problem.

[Lyn takes a moment to pet her head.]

Want to give it another try?

[shy_flier]

Um... just give me a moment to think about how I did it wrong.

[hectorcantgofast]

Alright.

[She can have a moment right here in Lyn's arms.]

[shy_flier]

[ It just makes her want to lean against Lyn instead of trying to fly, though wings make it a bit awkward. ]

[hectorcantgofast]

[Fine with Lyn. Fine enough that she'll adjust herself a bit.]

How about, instead of flying, we do what you actually wanted to do before you came out here.

[shy_flier]

[ Florina's wings droop slightly to make room. ]

I already got that... that soil, and put it somewhere for later.

[hectorcantgofast]

What were you going to do with it?

[shy_flier]

Well I want to see what kinds of clothes I can make, and not having a weapon feels strange after all this time. Then I could think of any tools I need.

[hectorcantgofast]

That certainly sounds useful enough. I used some to make home again.

[shy_flier]

It's a little scary how amazing it is.

[hectorcantgofast]

It is but I'm not going to question it. If I can get shelter and safety with it, then I'll use it.
