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.

[Hawke loses it at 'knight'.

When she's finished hooting, her arm slips off the table, rum forgotten. Her elbows brace on each knee.]

No, never a knight. My armor's not so shining, I really ought to clean out the more persistent bloodstains. [joking aside] Stole treasure from dead dwarves, stomped an invasion, saved a lot of rich people. They named me Champion for the deed.

[Accidentally helped her friend blow up a place of worship with people inside it. She doesn't say it, and the downward twist of a lip is gone in a single beat.]

[circumnavigates]

[Rider raises an eyebrow, watching that reaction with great interest. That far off the mark, huh? Well then, it's definitely got to be something very interesting.]

'Champion', 'knight', is there much of a difference? That's pretty much the same shit that got me the title.

[Another shrug. Not saying she takes it seriously at all or wants to throw the title around either, it's more funny than anything. She's proud of her accomplishments, not what she was given for them.]

Anyway, sounds pretty interesting.

[nughumps]

[Seeing Rider, all of Rider (scar, coat, the way she takes up space in the room), Hawke snags the glass for a swig; she's too intent on hearing the story that must brew beneath the surface of her bodaciously good company. Almost forgot the free rum.]

Not very. I'm a bore.

But you-- why'd they knight you?

[circumnavigates]

Hah! I doubt it!

[But, oh, the chance to brag? Well, okay. She does enjoy her own stories.]

I was the first to circumnavigate the globe. If somebody tells you it was Magellan, they don't know shit, that idiot died on the trip, that's a load of propaganda. Also sank and raided more than a few enemy ships on the way. They started calling me all kinds of things, like a bloodthirsty dragon without a trace of mercy. -Actually that was already my reputation on the sea, though.

[That's earned her ANOTHER DRINK]

[nughumps]

[A commiserating nod, yes, Hawke totally knows who in the Void that idiot Magellan is, of course he perished on the voyage.

She tilts forward even further off her chair, enchanted at 'bloodthirsty dragon'. The story induces nostalgia and she's been avoiding the bloody piss out of that, drowning it when an option, but what can be done but egg Rider on?]

You mean to tell me I walked into a tavern and a dragon bought me rum? And it isn't the setup to a hideous joke?

[circumnavigates]

That's right. This dragon doesn't sit on a pile of gold, she likes to spend it. What good does a pile of treasure you won't spend do, right?

[She grins, raises her glass again, and tips it back.]

Pirates might steal and all, but I like to think we're pretty generous. So I'll take being a dragon in name, and a pirate in deed.

Or something like that, forgot what I was getting at.
