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.

Comments

[theincredibleherc]

[Herc laughs again, agreeing wholeheartedly with the statement about always wanting a punching guy. He was pretty happy to provide that, for anyone he liked really. It wasn't exactly like he ever minded sharing The Gift with anyone. It was more they minded him sharing it with them.

From Connecticut. Where they'd landed.]

...You know, I don't really think I've ever tried to think about it too hard. I punch hard enough. That's about as far as I've ever really let myself consider it. But I'm sure I'd break most scales used for it.

[That weren't, y'know, made of diamond.]

[chilledout]

So, what you're saying is that the demonstration I was cooking up in my head miiiight be a little dangerous ... [Bobby says, realizing that they can't really go around punching things and causing craters like he imagined in his head. Still, it's pretty cool to picture.]

But if there's fighting to be expected, I might see something soon, right? [There's a little bit of unease that creeps into his voice. He doesn't know if he's really looking forward to that, exactly. Or at all.

At all is about right.]

[theincredibleherc]

It might be. But if you find me a big rock, I'll break it just to make you feel better.

[A shrug at the comment, and Herc takes a swig of whatever he'd been drinking. Some sort of sweet juice, probably. It was cold, and that was what mattered.]

And you'd be surprised. I've had relatively little fighting since I arrived. A few villagers, an evil magical chicken, and Emperor Nero. But that at least was a spar.

[chilledout]

I don't know what sounds worse ... the violin playing emperor or the evil magical chicken. How did you come across an evil magical chicken? [After time traveling, Bobby has a few ideas about how Nero could have happened. So, he focuses on the chicken.]

[theincredibleherc]

Empress, actually. Apparently in that world Nero was a woman. [A lovely one.] And as for the most foul of fowl? He was marauding various farms, and I was asked by a friend to remove said chicken. So, I plucked him up, tied him to a reed raft, and set him adrift like Moses. Only feathered.

And evil.

[chilledout]

That's ... weird. [To both? Definitely to both. It's amazing how quickly he can label something weird, but lady emperor Nero is up there. They didn't go to the future and find that Scott Summers was a woman. They just found out that he was a weird revolutionary, but in the most boring way possible.

Which fits. Thanks for lying about that, Hank!]

Hey ... uh, if you need help with stuff like chickens again, call me. [It sounds like it involves a lot less death.]
