Test Drive Meme

Been considering apping here but aren't sure if it's for you? Post a comment here with the character in question as if they were in the game. The usual rules of character dreams apply, which is to say that for the most part there aren't any. Current members of the community are of course welcome and encouraged to tag around themselves! Otherwise, use this opportunity as an open meme to have your characters interact in their dreams and see if you'd like to consider apping at Passing. :)

[A losing battle she fought in the real world more then once. It always brought about unpleasant feelings. Feelings not even dreams could make disappear. The only benefit is that this time it is happening in a dream so she might not remember it come morning.]

You had plenty of time to change how things could have been and I gave you an opportunity to as well. You choose not to take these chances.

I can't. I can't just abandon the rest of the world. My life... The way it is, now, I have at least a chance to make sure history doesn't repeat itself. To make up for just a fraction of what I've done.

[ The sound of regret is overwhelming in his reply. He wishes for some perfect argument to assuage her anger, but he knows, of course, that he wouldn't deserve that, either. She should be angry with him. She should hate him. That's the kind of existence he's earned. ]

And... In the end, even if I knew without a doubt that there was nothing more I could do to atone, I still wouldn't deserve that kindness.

You've had ages to work to keep the past from repeating itself! Why start using that as reasoning now?!

[And her shoulder begin to shake. She's enraged but only with his reasoning. She loves her brother but if only striking him countless times would fix anything. All she could do was try and get some sort of understanding, after the emotions wear down. ]

What do you think Lilith would tell you right now? Or Cain? Would they approve of your negligence and you're incessant need to torture yourself?

[badbulletshield.livejournal.com]

Because up until now I've done nothing. I've been selfish, and I've wasted so much time...

[ He'd like to reach out to her, to comfort her if he can do nothing else to stop this tirade, but this isn't the sort of dream where he gets what he wants; his arms remain immobile at his sides, his feet rooted to the spot, and he's just a passenger in his own body, again. Looking on helplessly.

But that's really pretty fitting, for him. ]

Do you think I don't have regrets? I don't want to hurt anyone, anymore, but nothing I do will ever be enough.

[alessergoddess.livejournal.com]

And don't you just end up adding to your regrets like that? Is it worth it?

[Because she could never understand why he would always choose these things. Another eight centuries could pass and she doubted she could see any reason to live such a life.]

After all we had to endure how can you honestly want to help those people?

[badbulletshield.livejournal.com]

Because it's what she wanted.

[ And that's all he has left of Lilith, now - some vague ideal to live up to, and the ancestors of the people she so loved. ]

For all of us to love the world in the way that she did. And to forgive.

[alessergoddess.livejournal.com]

[She presses her lips together into a thin line, disapproving still. As much as she could love her family that love didn't translate to forgiveness.]

As far as I've seen loving the world and it's people don't seem to bring about any good fortune.

[badbulletshield.livejournal.com]

Are you saying I should give up when things get tough?

[ It's difficult to make light of anything, in their situation, but now he tries his best. There's no chance of either of them winning this argument, and he might not get another opportunity to diffuse the situation and, simultaneously, his fit of unconscious stress. ]

[alessergoddess.livejournal.com]

Or maybe use your brain and open your eyes once and a while. That might be a bit helpful to the cause.

[Or at the very least make him easier to deal with. While she certainly knew the topic at hand would always be a heavy one it certainly would never stop her sarcasm.]

It's not like I have any idea about what I'm talking about.

[badbulletshield.livejournal.com]

I'm trying my best.

[ And he means it, honestly, whether or not the sentiment gets through to her, too. ]

It'll just have to be enough, for now.

[alessergoddess.livejournal.com]

[She does have room to doubt that he's doing his best but there's nothing to gain from arguing it further.]

If you make me wait another century before paying me a visit I'm breaking your leg on sight.

[badbulletshield.livejournal.com]

W-Well, I wouldn't want that...

[alessergoddess.livejournal.com]

Then you better remember, huh? Because I won't forget to do it.
