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.

Well, silverite isn't exactly common here, so, I figured it'd be a good guess.

[Girl, no, it's totally cool, do you see what he's wearing? Spikey shoulders and gauntlets and boots with a stylish butt-skirt and heavy fur collar...this is totally casual attire for a trip to the coffee shop, yo!]

Cousland?

[...Wait, what? There's no way this is that Cousland...is there? The woman died killing the archdemon and saving Ferelden from the blight...could she be an impostor? It's not exactly a common name....]

Any relation to the Teyrn of Highever?

[escutcheon]

[ She's eyeing the remaining cream packet thoughtfully - clearly not sure what it does to the taste of the coffee, but wanting more things just for the sake of having more things. Typical materialist.

Ah, fuck it. Putting the cream in too. ]

Bryce Cousland, yes. He was my father.

[ So that Hero of Ferelden? The mysterious figure wielding a god-killing sword and dishing out justice across the land?
Yup, dis brat. Accept no replacements. ]

[hawkethat]

[Well...uh...that...sure is a thing. It'd probably be really insensitive to ask about dying while killing archdemon--]

So...rumor has it you killed an archdemon.

[Oh, yeah. So smooth and not at all rude. G/J Hawke]

[escutcheon]

[ RECORD SCRATCH.MP3 ]

For once, the rumor mill gets something right. I hope it was blown up to impressive proportions.

[ Yeah so. Dying wasn't cool, volunteering that opinion right now. ]

[hawkethat]

Oh, yes...everything from "and then she grew thirty feet tall and stepped on its neck, crushing its throat," to "and then it picked her up in its mighty jaws, but its jaws were not mighty enough to crush the enchanted silverite of her armor, and she pierced the roof of its mouth with her greatsword and the beast knew no more."

[He might be squinting ever so slightly at her now. Just. Ever so slightly.]

Rumor also has it you were killed...Not that I'm complaining about that one being wrong, of course.

[But still...it's suspicious...]

[escutcheon]

[ Shit that sounds badass. She nods once, clearly satisfied with the wide range of fanfiction recounted stories she's left behind, and takes a pointed sip of her coffee. ]

No, that one was spot on too. A miscalculation on my part.

[ HAUGHTY SNIFF. ]

Dying is very unpleasant. Very. Wouldn't recommend it.

[hawkethat]

[Squinting intensifies]

If you don't mind my saying so, you look very robust for a dead woman.

[Not sure if believes...although this country is pretty weird and magical...]

[escutcheon]

[ Wryly: ]

I'm not faking being a dead woman, if that's what you're getting at. I have the scars to prove it.

[ Frankly, she's not entirely sure what happened beyond the Archdemon getting sword in the forehead. ]

[hawkethat]

I don't mind taking your word for it, actually. This isn't even the first time I've heard of something like that.

[The first time he heard of the dead coming back to life it involved his little sister...]
