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!

[...s i g h]

Did you know that at least 50% of the population here doesn't even know what a credit card is?

[Somehow that seems like the safer topic than "what the actual fuck are you doing here?"]

Well then it's about time they learned.

[No she didn't know that. Surprise. The bigger question, though, is does she care? Honestly, how do people survive without credit cards?]

Where are you?

[Hi. She means hi.]

Um...[Well that's kind of a funny story hahaha oh god help.] I'm sort of in the middle of something? [Ryan that is literally not an answer at all.

Truth be told, he's actually pretty caught off-guard. One minute he'd been hanging out in Cothromach helping out and the next his sister's face is all over the network and seriously, why couldn't this have happened some other time?

But. He thinks he's happy...maybe? Nah, he's missed her terribly but he's not going to actually say that until he gauges her attitude. If she's still mad at him about Juilliard...oh man.]

Why, where're you?

Obviously whatever it is can wait. I'm clearly more important.

[DUH. Wow, she actually had to say that. Shame on you, Ryan.]

I'm in some dark creepy castle. There are tiny things here that have a ridiculous amount of teeth. Ew.

[That's true. Sharpay is really important, he'll give her that much. On the other hand he's not sure if he can just magically zip on over to her in--

--some dark creepy castle in Caer Scima surrounded by imps. Wait. Wait, that can't be right. If Sharpay's over in Caer Scima's castle with the imps then that would mean--

...aw shit.]

Wait, what are you doing over there? [There has to be a mistake. Right? They're twins. They have to be in the same court, there's no way. ]

[U G H.]

I don't know. I just ended up here. It's not like I picked it. Believe me. The dark wood in here does nothing for my skin tone.

[There's silence. There's a whoooole lot of silence while Ryan tries to figure out how, exactly, he's going to deal with this one. Shar's not going to be happy if she figures it out first and as much as he dislikes the Drabwurld sometimes, nobody needed to deal with her wrath this early on.]

Well at least you've got your priorities straight. [There's a huff.] Don't worry about it, I'm going to figure out how to get you back over here. Sounds like the fairies just led you to the wrong place.

[He hopes. As much as he wishes for that to be true, there's still that pretty loud voice in his head that says "hey, doofus, she's actually supposed to be over there duh." He liked ignoring that voice a lot though.] Okay so you're in the castle right? Head outside if you can.

Fairies?

[Excuse you? Also, there's a serious look of dislike on the whole 'going outside thing'.]

So - I go outside and then what?

[Because there are freaky things in the castle and she's too pretty to die.]

Yeah. You know. [And he actually flaps his hands a little like wings. That stops though because he's pulling out a map that he's learned how to read, and Sharpay can probably see that he's written notes all over it (misspelled words and all.)]

Anyway! Looks like there's a fairy-ring just outside of the castle. You can probably head out there and teleport here. [Of course he's underestimating how long it'll take her to get to the ring and he hasn't used the rings himself, but it sounds look a good idea. He's not even looking at Sharpay anymore. He's actually using a pen to mark some stuff on his map, writing new things and tracing a path he thinks she can take.

Look at that, your twin's actually figured some stuff out in his time here. And, scarily enough, he doesn't even seem to notice it might seem unusual.] You remember everything we learned from those equestrian lessons Dad let us take when we were ten, right? There should be a horse waiting for you in the stables.

Ryaaaaan...

[So much whining.]

I don't have my riding clothes. Or boots. Or the Dolce & Gabanna horse blanket Daddy got me. Also, horseback riding in a corset and leather pants?

[Um. No.]

Why is it so far away?

[She'll go, she just... Needs to work up the desire to actually go do it.]

[You're lucky he's used to your whining, Shar. Actually he's kind of grinning to himself. How sick is it that he almost missed that? It's almost like things are a little more normal now. He finally glances up from his map to look at the locket again.]

Either find new clothes, or stay there then. [A shrug.] I don't know, I didn't design the world. [He's not sure if this is going to work, but he pauses, just fixing her with a slightly sad look. He's not Sharpay by any longshot, but he's learned a trick or two.] You want to come find me, don't you?

The new clothes are so gross, though.

[Oh no. Not the puppy dog look. Crap.]

Fine. FINE.

[She snaps her fingers and mumbles something about a map and a pen before they appear beside her. She gives a dismissive wave before putting down the locket to draw her own lines on the map to mirror his own. Picking it back up she angles it so he can see the map.]

Does this look right?

Yeah, I know. We'll go on a shopping trip to the Station ASAP. [Actually he's learned to deal but let's not rattle her cage any more than he has to right now. There's a tiny smug grin though the moment he realizes he's won and he's just waiting, watching her order around some of the imps to get her a map. He's referring back to his own map before she holds up hers, squinting a little to see the lines she's drawn.]

I think so! Looks like mine, anyway. [Though that's assuming that his map is right.] I don't know what's outside of that castle though. It might not be a bad idea to...[You know. Ask for help. Find an escort/bodyguard. Something. He's actually wracking his brain for who he knows over in Caer Scima.] There's people coming in and out of the castles all the time. You might be able to hitch a ride with somebody else, too.

[Give him some credit, okay? He's working on the fly, he's never had to execute a rescue mission before.]

[Ugh. The one time she actually wants Fulton around and he's nowhere in sight. He could do all of this for her. With just a snap of her finger. Getting an bodyguard here would actually require talking to someone.

It was totally time to prove she could do something for herself. How else was she apparently gonna get anything done around here?]

I'll be fine.

[Maybe.]

I'm gonna pack up my things and I'll head over to the stables.

Edited 2014-11-11 05:29 (UTC)

I'm serious, Shar. If you can find somebody to go with you because I've heard the imps aren't actually that helpful. [That's putting it mildly. Let's not talk about all of the crazy bullshit that happens in a place like this.]

Or just stay on the phone until you get there. Locket. Whatever. [He already has a handful with making sure Kelsi doesn't get herself killed, now he has to watch his sister, too? It's...not entirely unexpected, but it's a little nerve-wracking.]

Hey. What's the last thing you remember from home?

[Ohmygod... She'd be more annoyed if she didn't think he was actually serious.]

I'll stay on the locket thing and if it looks dicey, I'll head back.

[Her tone is missing it's usual hoity-toityness as she starts to move through the hall. She keeps her head held high, ignoring all the weird crap she passes.]

Um, graduation. You?

Good call. [And he knows that she's actually listening to him this time which is a relief. The fact that she's not being arrogant right now definitely helps him breathe a little easier. He's already learned that lesson the hard way.

However, when she asks for information in return he just sort of a makes a 'ehhh' noise in return.]

...well when I got here the first time, it was still senior year. Kelsi and I had just finished putting together the prom number for the show. Then some weird stuff happened, I fell into some coma for a week or something and woke up at the bottom of a lake and I knew it was October back home. I mean it's not like I went anywhere or anything but it's kind of like that I guess because I gained about six months of new memories. [Ryan get to the point.]

I've been in New York for two months.
