TEST DRIVE MEME #5



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!

....I thought I hit post on this ages ago

[ She peeks out at Edgar from the safety of Maglor's shoulder shyly and waves ]

Well met, Edgar - Maglor, I am. I would bid you welcome but tis a poor one, I fear, drawn from our own worlds to peril and grief in this one. You must be new, I think - I do not think I have seen you before, and the Feasts are on again.
edgar_of_etheria: (Here We Go Again...)

Fairies, man. They mess with you.

[Edgar nods, his smile fading.]

I am. But I don't understand why I keep being pulled from my home like this. I only just got back again and now I'm here. Solais and Morla... It's just like Genesta and Lolotte all over again. I suppose this is what they mean by these things happening in threes. My mind and body don't seem to have been changed this time, but...

[A long sigh.]

...my parents will be so sad and worried about me...
bythewaves: (corner of my eye)

/shakes fist at fairies

Again? [ Maglor frowns in sympathy ] Ai, I am sorry to hear that, Master Edgar. I fear our... hosts do not care overmuch for our own cares and worries.

I am sorry. [ He drops his eyes ] It is hard, to be sundered from family. And to be sundered repeatedly...
edgar_of_etheria: (Not Sure What To Say To That)

Fairy babes just can't keep their hands off this boy.

[personal profile] edgar_of_etheria 2014-11-12 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Edgar shrugs.]

I barely know my parents. I was just a baby the first time it happened, and they didn't find me until I was grown. They were going to have a ball in honor of my homecoming, everyone there to welcome back their long-lost prince, but the night of the party, I went into the gardens, and... Well, the exact details are fuzzy, but my mother's sister took me and enslaved my mind so I would help her with her plot.
bythewaves: (i suppose)

[personal profile] bythewaves 2014-11-12 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Ai... [ Maglor shakes his head, frowning ]

That is a cruel tale indeed. Your kinfolk sound ... well. [ a huff ]

I would say you are safe here, but there is no safety in a war, particularly not one where the rulers are so intent on continuing but... [ Maglor reaches a tentative hand to brush across Edgar's briefly ]

At the least, you are free of your enthrallment now.
edgar_of_etheria: (Chagrined)

[personal profile] edgar_of_etheria 2014-11-12 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
It does make a nice change of pace.

[He looks a little confused by the touch. Strangers don't usually touch him. But he doesn't pull away.]

I've never been part of a war before. But, someone wanting to destroy things... that I've dealt with before. More than I wish I could say.
bythewaves: (turn aside)

[personal profile] bythewaves 2014-11-12 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
[ A wry, sad little smile ]

War is never a pleasant thing, even if sometimes it is necessary. The problem in this fight is knowing who tells the truth, for I suspect both courts lie. I hope you find a measure of peace here, Master Edgar - but they will seek to use you, on both sides. At the least, this time it will be your choice.
edgar_of_etheria: (Pensive)

[personal profile] edgar_of_etheria 2014-11-12 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
I'm used to it by now. And... you don't have to call me "Master." You aren't one of the goons. Technically, it's Prince Edgar of Etheria, but the title still feels strange. Just "Edgar" is all right.

I... don't know them well enough to say but... It's probably less a matter of knowing what is truth and what is not, and being able to see how the truth has been shaped. Sometimes, it is twisted and diminished... Sometimes, it is made too beautiful to be the way it should. [He's looking at his hands as he says this, almost examining them.]
bythewaves: (lonely)

[ A soft chuckle ] Ah, forgive me - tis a formality I am used to, Princeling. But Edgar then, if you prefer.

Feels foul and looks fair hm? [ Maglor tips his head, watching the young man thoughtfully ] You speak wisely, and, I think, that wisdom came hard won.

[ He looks up at the castle and sighs softly ]

But a truth wrapped in a lie is still a lie. [ he says softly, and there is something dark in his eyes ]
edgar_of_etheria: (Searching)

[personal profile] edgar_of_etheria 2014-11-20 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Edgar follow his gaze]

They won't see it that way, though.

[He doesn't comment on the hard-won wisdom.]
bythewaves: (weary)

[personal profile] bythewaves 2014-11-20 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps not. [ Maglor shrugs, tired and weary ]

Too many, it seems, prefer to accept the lie, if it keeps them happy and content.
