TEST DRIVE #6
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 with mirthful revelry and hearty food. 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! |
no subject
And what of you? I'm not so delicate that I must ride while you walk.
[But she will give the beast a pat on the nose.]
You don't have to travel alone now. Many of us have been brought here unexpectedly.
no subject
Nor am I implying so. But I have lived in the wilds and I am used to traveling on foot farther distances than these. And I have caused you harm. Let this be a small way for me to make it up to you.
[ Nasrin seems surprised at the sentiment, the idea of connecting with others. She frowns slightly, glancing away, and then she goes to grab her pack from where she has left it so she can sling it onto her shoulder. ]
There are things I have to do on my own.
no subject
[Respect and consideration, not condescension; Èlise can accept that. She nods and mounts the horse while the other woman sees to her things.]
From what they've said, in this place we're meant to work together, not on our own.
I'm Èlise.
no subject
[ She's embittered to the idea of being separated from her comrades when so many remain in the Unseelie court. ]
My burdens are my own, as well. I do not wish to run or refrain from helping the others here-- But there are things I have to do to help my own world beyond simply ensuring its destruction does not come to pass while I am here.
[ Nasrin does not expect her to understand. Or, perhaps, she is being vague enough that she hopes Èlise will not wish to understand. It will be kinder that way. ]
I am called Nasrin. And I...apologize, again, for earlier.
[ She leads the horse - and Èlise - back towards the path, winding carefully over the rocks and the large roots that stick out from the ground. The horse does not seem to have too much difficulty navigating the crags or the roots, and neither does she, moving as deftly as her mount. ]
What were you doing out here, anyway?
no subject
A foolish monarchy is nothing new, either.]
Your apology is accepted.
[It's over and done with. And she wouldn't ride on the horse of someone she still expected to set her ablaze.]
I was stumbling around like a fool. Did you think I was joking about being lost? [If only.] I haven't spent much time in the woods before.
no subject
[ They are, after all, far out enough that she could not simply have wandered into its depths on pure accident. But she gives Èlise a good-natured smile. ]
These woods or in general, if I may ask?
no subject
[Much to her chagrin. But while she has her pride, Èlise also has sense, and she's not about to dissemble when the truth of the matter is painfully apparent.]
I wanted some time to myself. And I wanted to learn what I could of the land. [An embarrassed pause.] Instead...well, you saw.
