TEST DRIVE MEME


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 with mirthful revelry and hearty food. 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!

Midshipman Archie Kennedy | Hornblower

[A teenage boy in a somewhat scuffed wool uniform picks at his food at the feast table but does not eat. He looks pale, a bit gaunt, and utterly exhausted, and the nausea from his last seizure is helping him avoid eating the fairy food. He's not a child anymore, but he still remembers his nurse's stories about Childe Rowland and warnings about eating fairy food. Still, maybe it wouldn't be so terrible to be trapped here for ever, rather than going back to whatever awaits him back at sea. Death, capture, or return to the Indefatigable where the same routine would be taken up, the game where he pretends nothing is wrong no matter what happens at night amidships.

It's not long before he is dead asleep, cheek pressed to the table and fork lying in his lap.]
sublimity: (Answering his call.)

[Peter became aware of the peaky looking boy as he scanned the crowd for others he knew. It is only when said pasty boy flops over in a dead sleep he becomes alarmed and stops his search to rush over, concern creasing his brow as he eyes the prone body.]

Sir, are you all right?

[He gingerly shakes him while muttering to himself.]

By Aslan, tell me you didn't eat any of the fairy food.
unneeded: By gimcrack on IJ (Windblown.)

[He didn't. He's long in waking, though, and feebly swats away Peter's hand.]

Don' touch me.

[Geez. Dr Hepplewhite used to let him sleep for hours after a fit. What's this kid got a problem with?]
sublimity: (Courageously)

[Did you drink too much, Archie? :| Not that you smell like alcohol.

He sighs and ignores the swat. Normally he'd leave Archie where he is, given how familiar he is with feasts, but with the strange circumstances and the way the other boy looks...

He shakes him again, ready to dodge any flying limbs that may come his way.]

You ought to find a proper bed at least.

[Archie doesn't look poisoned, though who knows how fairy magic works.]
unneeded: By timescout (Jolly sou'wester boys; steady she goes)

Pff. [It's a weak laugh, actually. Proper bed. Sailors don't sleep in proper beds. There's not a proper bed anywhere on board...

Kennedy cracks open an eye. He's still sensitive to light. And the bit about being led to fairyland was not a dream. Stories said nothing about sleeping in fairy beds, as far as he remembers, and a proper bed is sounding really, really good.]

They have beds in Elfhame?
sublimity: (You mustn't press him.)

[personal profile] sublimity 2014-03-19 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
What else would they put in bed-chambers?

[He reaches over to gently prop Archie up, relieved by the interest in moving away from the table.]

Do you recall where your room is?
unneeded: (What am I to do?)

[personal profile] unneeded 2014-03-20 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Haven't been to it. [There are a few things Archie Kennedy always dislikes, and one is being alone in a room. Least of all when he has had a fit and is at his most vulnerable.]
sublimity: (What will I do with you?)

[personal profile] sublimity 2014-03-20 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Fortunately for you, I know where mine is.

[Teasing aside, Peter is careful to make sure Archie won't fall over, and keeps an eye on others in case any come too close and run into them.]

Are you in need of assistance there?

[Besides being shown to it, obviously. He's fine with being Archie's crutch, but he doesn't want to infringe on the other's personal space.]
