TEST DRIVE MEME #7

TEST DRIVE MEME
Considering apping to EACHDRAIDH? Why not give the setting a test run here! OPTIONAL SCENARIOS 01. ARRIVING IN THE DRABWURLD. The Seelie and Unseelie courts welcome you not with mirthful revelry, this time around dear friends. There is a seriousness in the air, though the food is still hearty and the imps still mischievous. After you have been briefed on your purpose here, you will find an endless feast and a night filled with entertainment to placate your concerns. Mingle with new arrivals, sneak down the castle halls and make sure your eyes are always on your glass; fairies and imps have no bias when it comes to tricks! 02. THE STATION. Looking for a little slice of home? The Station gives you all that and more. Take advantage of the wifi, have a cup of fairy-brewed coffee (the one they didn't spit in) or sit back and relax on the patio. You can even move your things into one of the available rooms! 03. WILDCARD. Your own scenario! Explore the Drabwurld or simply take advantage of your Locket! Be mindful, though -- the monarchs are watching and cross court communication should be done with the utmost secrecy. |
Aisling | The Secret of Kells | Court Undecided
[Aisling may have had no choice in coming here, but that doesn't mean she has to like it. She isn't used to being surrounded by this many people after so many years living in a forest with nothing but animals for company, so she conceals herself as best she can by hiding under the tables and darting between them.
The food is good, though, so sometimes she'll quickly swipe some food before disappearing under the table again. You might be able to spot her...especially if it's your food she's swiping without realizing it.]

Hello?
oh my goodness
Brendan...?
so happy you have no idea
[It's half a question, half a pleased exclamation. Likewise, his face can't seem to decide on whether it wants to be confused or happy right now. In the end he seems to settle (as always) for curious.]
Why are you under the table?
no subject
no subject
Yes. It isn't all bad though, even if there are a lot of people. I promise none of them will hurt you.

Maybe you could be careful somewhere else? Somewhere that isn't under a table?

[ A curious phenomenon, the way the good Captain's meal takes to vanishing straight from his plate before he's even had the chance to lift a—fork, is it? he's still terribly unused to the many innovations of the realm—bite to his lips.
Ah, well...! Truth be told, he isn't quite as hungry as he is interested in the slip of a girl, with gangly limbs and long white hair, as she orchestrates yet another expert maneuver: alleviating him of his dessert before darting back, beneath the table, quick as a flash of light.
By virtue of being who (and what) he is, the girl never really had a chance of escaping his eyes, though color him impressed—if he were anything less, then surely, he would have thought her to be a draft of wind: the summer's breeze echoing throughout the hall. ]
It's quite all right, you know, if you should care to join me. [ A beat; he closes his eyes as he speaks, sensing if she still lurks nearby. ] We match, after all, and so it's our duty to look out for one another, right?
[ And by match he means they both share long, white hair and dark brows in contrast. ]
no subject
...I suppose we do match. [That's kind of weird.] Who are you?
no subject
[ —he echoes playfully, tapping his chin as he makes a small (but certainly theatrical!) show of considering the question. ]
I am newly arrived here, and from the looks of things, I'd wager that you are as well. [ He offers her a smile, then, gesturing to the seat beside him, if she should so wish to take it! ] But you'd let me know if I were mistaken, wouldn't you, Miss...?
[ They can make a game of this, can't they? Fishing for one another's names! ]
no subject
no subject
What is it that she sees, he wonders, for to many he's perfectly unassuming. Harmless, even, in their eyes (and to Aisling, he is!). ]
Though I do think that, in the here and now, we are surrounded by good company and comrades. [ He offers her a small bow of his head, after a moment's pause, hand slipping over his heart. ] And I am Ukitake. Juushirou Ukitake, Captain to the Thirteenth Division of the Court Guard Companies of my homeland.
[ A playful wink! ]
I, of course, am ever at your service.
no subject
What would I need service for? I can look after myself. [It's also been a very long time since she's used a thing called "manners".]
no subject
[ ...his name can be something of a mouthful for others, or so he's come to understand. For some, it's an unfamiliar sound to the ear, and boasts quite a few syllables to boot! It is nice, though, to hear it spoken—or, at the very least, attempted. So often does he hear echoes of Captain! and Sir! that it's refreshing to speak to someone who cares nothing for his rank. ]
Call upon me whenever you like; if you've lost something, I'll assist in finding it. If you've broken something, I'll do all within my power to see it mended.
Or... if you should simply wish to pass the time by with a game, I've no qualms with devoting a day to a good bit of fun. [ His voice hushes, then, as he leans ever-so-slightly forward, as though he means to impart some great secret upon her: ] I'm the best there is at hide and seek, or so my nieces and nephews like to claim.
no subject
no subject
[ Hmmm. ]
For if it is, I'm certain that the many corridors of the castle will make for an excellent playing-ground.
no subject
no subject
[ For surely the many nooks and crannies of the castle are not unlike the alcoves of a forest—here the trees are only decorative constructs; the many rooms of the court akin to burrows and dens. ]
And if I should be lucky enough to find you, perhaps you'll tell me of the forests that you know? I'd quite like to hear about them.
