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 was about to scarf down that dessert, but she wasn't expecting anyone to address her. Cautiously, she peeks out at him from under the table, studying him for a moment before speaking.]

...I suppose we do match. [That's kind of weird.] Who are you?

Who am I?

[ —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! ]

Aisling. [She doesn't take his offer to sit down. Instead she comes out from under the table to stand in front of him, still sizing him up.] And of course I'm new here. I don't know anyone, so I have to be careful.

As you should be, Miss Aisling. [ Careful, that is, for they've been drawn to this realm between realms for but a single purpose, and it weighs on the good Captain's heart that Aisling, the child that she both is and is not, may very well be exposed to violence and all the ugliness of war. These thoughts, however, do not show their face in his expression—lofting an eyebrow high, he considers Aisling as she openly appraises him, laughing lightly as she does.

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.
thisismyforest: (you could visit me)

Ukita... [Aisling tries to repeat the name, but Japanese is a completely foreign language to her. She isn't entirely sure what to make of this man; it's been a very long time since she's openly spoken to an adult.]

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".]

U-ki-ta-ke.

[ ...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.
thisismyforest: (come and go)

[personal profile] thisismyforest 2015-05-09 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
Is that so? You're probably not as good at hiding as me. [Well, at least her interest has been piqued, and she looks less suspicious now.]

[personal profile] ex_maelstroms207 2015-05-09 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
H'oh? [ It is endearing to him, her confidence, and now he hasn't a doubt: as she professed, she can take care of herself, and if she truly might be able to contest his own hide and seek prowess, then...! ] Could that be a challenge, I hear?

[ Hmmm. ]

For if it is, I'm certain that the many corridors of the castle will make for an excellent playing-ground.
thisismyforest: (tireless peace)

[personal profile] thisismyforest 2015-05-09 03:56 pm (UTC)(link)
That doesn't sound as good as a forest...but I bet I can hide in there just as well.

[personal profile] ex_maelstroms207 2015-05-10 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
Let it be a true test of ability, then!

[ 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.
thisismyforest: (tireless peace)

[personal profile] thisismyforest 2015-05-12 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
I only know one. [Though as far as she's concerned, it's the only one worth knowing about.] And I'll tell you about it only if you're lucky.
