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!

enjoymyatelier: actually, it totally will. (aha! a plan that will not end in failure)

The rooms seem fairly sizable, although... they do tend to be based on your social status in your native world. I'm something of a big name back home, but while I've seen quarters of those of a higher status than me, I haven't really seen anything lower.

[He imagines it's not unpleasant, but possibly not as roomy...]

Ah, but it's really fascinating anywhere you go. It's a bit... pre-modern, I suppose?

[...she certainly does seem a bit modern in dress compared to what he'd expect from a centaur, so that's reference that may not go over her head...]

But it's easy enough to get by, given that magic is really an excellent substitute.
gallopingarcher: (Doesn't get it.)

Grandfather is always going on about how my cousin and I would have been princesses if we'd lived even a couple hundred years ago. I wonder...

[But she'll jump that obstacle when she comes to it. If the room is too small, maybe someone will listen to reason and help her get a bigger one. It's not like she's demanding to be treated like a princess; she just wants space to move comfortably.]

Like being in a period drama? Oh, that sounds so exciting!

[Then her ears droop.]
But I don't know any magic...
enjoymyatelier: no seriously what are you doing (uhhhhhhhh....)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2015-01-15 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
...hah, then maybe you will get impressive quarters. Really, though, I would hope they would account for sapient nonhumans in the ranks, given the mix we have already...

[...actually, he's kind of surprised there aren't more. that... is a bit surprising, though. He's not entirely sure how he feels about it --- on the one hand, non-magical sorts getting magic is offensive to his sensibilities, but on the other hand, she's a centaur, so...]

Ah, well, I think everyone here can learn a bit of magic regardless of their origins. It might have to do with Shards and whatnot, though I'm not entirely certain.
gallopingarcher: (Doesn't get it.)

That sounds wonderful. My little cousin would always ask about the magic in stories!

[And her eyes go misty for a moment. So homesick. But then her ears flick and she looks like she's trying to puzzle something out.]

That's one thing I don't understand at all. How could there be a Shard of some... gem, I think it was?, inside me? Nothing ever showed up during my checkups!
enjoymyatelier: maybe he should check the foundations, come to think of it. (red car. good point.)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2015-01-19 12:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I wouldn't go into it unprepared. It can be a bit more dangerous and unpredictable than in fairy tales if you're new to it, but it's unbelievably useful when you actually know what you're doing.

[No reason to sugarcoat it, after all.]

And that's something I've been puzzled about, myself. The best I can imagine is that it's something that only really manifests when we're brought here, even though I'm not sure if it was always there or if it's something that was placed there through our arrivals.
gallopingarcher: (All sweetness.)

[personal profile] gallopingarcher 2015-01-21 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods, sweetly intent on what she's being told.]

So I'll have to be careful and find a good teacher!

[The last bit takes a bit more puzzling though, and her ears flick back and forth as she thinks about it.]

But if a gem was put inside us, wouldn't there be some sign? I mean, it takes up space, doesn't it? Unless it's some kind of gh-ghost gem.

[She shivers a little at that. Ghost-stories are scary.]
