TEST DRIVE MEME

Considering apping to EACHDRAIDH? Why not give the setting a test run here! OPTIONAL SCENARIOS 01. ARRIVING IN THE DRABWURLD. The grand feast is held in the Eaglais clearing. The food is good, the music is sweet, and the evening is lit by gentle fairy lights. All Shardbearers of all courts are summoned here under a universal truce for the evening. Nature itself has shaped itself into tables, chairs, and long couches so that the new guests can rest. When they’re ready to call it a night, Shardbearers are brought to their court strongholds in a one-way trip by fairies and imps. 02. NETWORK Take advantage of your Locket! The network can be accessed by any Shardbearer with a locket or shardless characters with enchanted devices, and is a quick way to meet new people and discuss the state of the world. 03. WILDCARD. Your own scenario! Explore the Drabwurld! There are lots of places to go, and plenty of trouble to get into in them!

The latter, though not all can... adjust to returning from the dead as well as others. It does not suit everyone.

[Did it suit anyone, really?]

If you are the last shardbearer from your home, then that universe dies with you. Those without shards are traditionally cast out from their respective court. I understand that some of them are now more lenient.

[Or... they'd started lenient, and gotten worse over the years. Everything was still backwards to him. Time travel was hard.]

No, I suppose that it wouldn't.

[ She can't imagine what it must be like to die, only to come back to life. --But to have a second chance...that might be nice. This is sort of like a second chance for her, after what happened in her home universe, and so far, it's not too bad. ]

Cast out? Why? Are those without shards seen as useless, or something? The shards considered necessary for you to be of any worth?

[ That seems...unnecessarily cruel. But she doesn't fully understand the situation as it is. There's a lot to process, and this is why she wishes there was just a database she could download and read through instead of having to do the human thing and ask questions. ]

[Javik knew about second chances, and he hated them. If only because it involved, on more than one occasion, culture shock stemming from being thrown from one time period to another.]

The shards are not worthless, they are what make you worthwhile to the courts, and you are a powerful tool or weapon with which they can strike one another. If you do not have your shard, you are no different than the native population, and therefore nothing special.

[Even with a database, EDI had still peppered Shepard with questions of morality and ethics. Humans were nosy, though, so it stood to reason that their AIs would share that trait.]
