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. |
no subject
[Other than fighting. Her methods are focused on overwhelming firepower and destruction. Definitely not the kind of fighting style to accommodate noble knight duels 'n shit.
Thinks the guy with the anti-army sun sword.
Also he's pretty much the NO FUN ALLOWED guy, asking him to live a little is like asking Rider to go sober and manage her finances.]
no subject
EEEEH sobriety and accounting are overrated. If you gots it, spend it.]
I've got a few ideas! One, see who can drink the most. Two, who can win the most women - or men, or both, whatever - by the end of the night. Three, strip poker. Or four - I think the technical term's 'tonsil hockey'. Unless you've got some ideas, I'm all ears.
no subject
[...]
I shouldn't be surprised your suggestions are so inappropriate. I take the least offense with drinking, but I won't make any kind of contest out of it. Inebriated on my first day here...it would be shameful.
But I will share a drink with you, as a compromise of sorts.
[PARTY DON'T START TILL GAWAIN WALKS IN and kills the mood.]
no subject
[She steps closer and places a hand on the top of his head - even though she has to reach up quite a ways for that, whatever.]
But that doesn't mean you're totally off the hook either. It's the whole damn point of feasts to get drunk and make an ass of yourself. And don't try to tell me you never been to one.
no subject
[Yeah just gonna...move his hand to her wrist...and try to move her hand away, thanks.
Although he's not forceful about it at all. Just some attempted gentle guidance.]
-some of us attend feasts without overindulging. I try to carry myself properly no matter the situation.
no subject
Hmmm, I see.
[She pauses, looking thoughtful.]
So tell me, how far up your ass is your head, anyway? And what'll it take to pull it out of there?
no subject
[She did it, she got some sass out of him.]
no subject
That's the spirit, keep at it! But that's something I never quite understood, how can a word be 'filthy', it's just a word. I guess you didn't spend too much time around sailors, huh - well it's your lucky day! Better than sailors, even, you get to treat a great pirate to a drink!
[And with that she links arms with him. Lead her to the booze.]
no subject
[Not literally, just. Buncha pirate scum and cool honorable knights. They're so far apart in his mind that it's how he views it.
Also he doesn't actually stop her from linking arms with him, surprisingly enough. He leads on without objection.]
But Knights do not behave as improperly as pirates. We cannot afford to, lest we sully the very position we hold and tarnish it's good image.
[And where he leads her is...just the table for the feast. But there's plenty of wine to be had, so it's as good as any.
He does try to pull out her chair for her once they get there, like the nerd he is...she's still a lady!! Even if she's...well, rider.]
no subject
Still she likes the gesture. As much as she likes being rowdy and entirely unladylike, it suits her to be treated like a lady. Even if he's a spoilsport, she sure could grow to be attached to Saber because of that. She graciously takes the seat, wait, graciously? No, beaming with an arrogant pride.]
You know, technically I am a knight, so I'd beg to differ.
no subject
Even If King Arthur himself knighted you, I still couldn't accept such a thing.
[With that done, he takes his position on the opposite side of the table, still standing, so that he might pour both of them a drink. Only then does he sit.]
no subject
How about a descendant?
no subject
If you wish for me to accept your knighthood, then I would take you as an apprentice and make you into what a fine knight should be. Until that day, no monarch alive has enough authority to make me think otherwise.
[No matter how he fancies it up, this can only mean one thing.
Gawain is a petty bitch.]
no subject
no subject
Breath.]
You make it sound so simple. [It is.] I'm not trying to demean your achievements.
But a knight must be many things. You...you're crude, and uncouth and indulge yourself without a care in the world. It's...it's who you are, I suppose, so there's nothing wrong with Rider being Rider.
But it's simply not how knights should behave.
[Whole lotta talking with no actual solid reasoning, A+. He also based that entire description off of like, what, ten minutes of interaction.]
no subject
It's how they acted in my time. But if that's how it is, guess I don't care to be one! I don't see what's wrong with what I do, even for a stuffy knight like you, though.
Should we make that our bet? Who can last acting as the other does?
no subject
...you would have me...[NO HE'S NOT EVEN JUSTIFYING THIS.] No. No, I simply refuse your bet.
Even if I won, others would think me some...some crude drunkard, all for naught.
no subject
[She looks at him full of seriousness, offence. How could he disparage a lady so?]
Are you calling me a drunkard? What a thing to say about a lady, what kind of a knight are you?
no subject
You would truly deny it? I don't think I've ever seen you sober, woman...not once.
[Unless she is now.
Because he wouldn't be able to tell.]
no subject
For the record, I don't remember being drunk the first time.
[But it's pretty much a constant state of insobriety, ssssooo...]
Either way, that's pretty shameful, Gawain, speaking so poorly of a lady. Aren't you supposed to uphold chivalry and all that shit? Which seems to include kindness and politeness toward women?
no subject
You make it an exceptionally difficult virtue to uphold. I'm certain you see your attitude as amicable in some way, but from my perspective you're simply rude.
And considering prior circumstances, and now my being here, I'm a little low on patience as it is. You'll have to forgive me.
[CCC sucked.
Also he only kind of half means it. He wouldn't care if she didn't forgive him, she's rider.]
no subject
[She sits up straight, no longer slumping. It's almost like she's suddenly sobered up, even her expression shifts.]
I do intend to be amicable, by the way, you're right, so you've got to forgive me for coming off as rude. That's just who I am. Just like I know you being a limpdick is just how you are.
[Likewise she wouldn't care if he didn't forgive her either.]
But I mean it, whatever's eating you, letting yourself have a bit of fun is gonna help.
no subject
[He huffs, crossing his arms.]
The grail war is not what I am concerned about. What I am concerned about is the fate of the world, because a rogue A.I hijacked the operation on the moon and is trying to take the power of the moon cell for herself.
And before I arrived here, I failed to defeat her and my master likely perished because of it.
I'm worried for Kishinami and the others, and I'm disappointed in myself for failing my liege, just as I did in life. A little fun is not going to fix anything right now.
no subject
But the thing is, that whole system is doomed from the start. You know how old my Master was? Eight years old. Anyone who got involved in it should have been prepared for what would come. Anyone entering a war has to be prepared for it. Death comes to us all, and they shouldn't have trusted a computer system.
no subject
[And hey if they're talking, he may as well say it.]
...my Master would not have won the war had it gone as planned. Even if we made it to the final round, he didn't have what it took to emerge victorious. I was fully prepared to see him meet his end against a worthy foe.
But instead he had that robbed from him by that black clad harlot and her golden grail! It's outrageous!
