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! |

[Yes, please trust her! She's a trustworthy sort. A trustworthy Templar sort.]
no subject
Unless this war is brief, or if there is a means of escape, I doubt it will be a short stay.
[He crosses his arms, not at all concerned about masking his distaste for the situation. If the Unseelie court is about freedom, not censorship, he doubts it matters what he says, either way.]
Where were you brought here from?
no subject
But life is rarely that simple.]
From Paris. I was born and raised in France; by the sound of your voice, I take it your homeland is somewhere else.
no subject
Yes. I am from what is now the United States.
no subject
Ah. I've never made that voyage, though I've always wondered what life was like there.
no subject
[Not that he has any idea what Europe is like, aside from secondhand accounts, though he hopes he can make it there eventually.]
no subject
no subject
[Lafayette had hinted that there was something very wrong with France, that he had wanted to return from America to make Paris's black heart shine, he had said. But Connor would never have imagined that would involve France dissolving into a revolution of its own.]

no subject
[Are the courts truly capable of bringing people from the future -- or from the past, as he must seem to her? It is almost too incredible to believe.]
no subject
no subject
[He doesn't, however, sound especially optimistic about this French Revolution. People suffered in the American war. There were a privileged few who benefitted, and many who did not, including his own people. Would a revolution in France be much different?]
no subject
[Including...she shakes her head.]
I wish I could tell you the end result. But I'm not even sure we've reached the worst of it.
no subject
[Or so he hopes, and that it isn't just empty encouragement.
Realising he'd asked where she'd come from without so much as asking her name, though, he decides to introduce himself.]
My name is Connor. I am sorry we could not meet under better circumstances...
no subject
Don't be. It isn't your doing. And I can imagine far worse ones.
no subject
Still, this is not a kind fate for you, to be transported from the midst of a revolution, only to have your homeland threatened by a danger much greater.
no subject
[Which is why her order seeks to make a better fate for everyone—not that this saved her father.]
