TEST DRIVE MEME



TEST DRIVE MEME
PREMISE PLOT ARRIVAL SETTING NAVIGATION

01. ARRIVING IN PELEA
A cold wind singing down from the white-capped mountains which hang blue-black in the distance stirs your cheek, the tall grass all around you. A bough creaks as the wind makes it tremble, and the dappled shadows drift over you, leaves rustling. As you blink awake, you hear the quiet hiss of water over stones. You are not where you once were!

You and a large group of strangers are blinking awake, pulling yourselves up off the dirt, grass, and rubble near a small wooded stream. There is no evidence of civilization in sight, and as you exchange stories you realize that you must decide what to do.

Will you head past the trees and towards the mountains? Deeper into the forest? Stay put and wait for help to arrive? You might even try to meet everyone else, and either convince them to band together... or head their separate ways.

02. CITY SLICKER
There are many cities throughout the world of Pelea, and in most player characters, the Flaws, are welcomed as curiosities. From the pastoral villages or bustling, grand cities of Shousal to the massive, sprawling bureaucratic centers of the Empire, your characters will find a wide variety of cultures and races to interact with and investigate. They could be seeking empoyment, answers to the mystery of their arrival, or a quiet place to drink away their worries.

03. WILDCARD!

Brought one of those along, did you?
pariya: annoyed, grumpy, tsun (059)

D-Don't be stupid!

In the town oven!
nockgun: (A warning take by me)

[personal profile] nockgun 2016-07-05 11:51 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. [Patrick grimaces. He's not sure what to say to this, but it's very evident he thinks she's in for a bad time.]
pariya: unsure (051)

[personal profile] pariya 2016-07-05 11:52 am (UTC)(link)
... What.

Spit it out.

[personal profile] nockgun 2016-07-05 11:54 am (UTC)(link)
Supposing this city has no such thing. A grand place as this, it would have to service a fair number of other people. Too many, I shouldn't wonder.
pariya: annoyed talking, eyebrow raise (032)

[personal profile] pariya 2016-07-05 11:55 am (UTC)(link)
Wouldn't they just make multiple ovens?

It's not like a town can survive without ovens!
nockgun: (Come all you pretty young local girls)

[personal profile] nockgun 2016-07-05 12:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Not likely they do, but if they're anything like London, then they have their own ovens in their own bakeries. Maybe you'll find work in one of those.
pariya: considering, unsure, neutral (040)

[personal profile] pariya 2016-07-05 12:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh? So how do women bake bread for their households?
nockgun: (God Save Ireland)

[personal profile] nockgun 2016-07-05 01:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Now there's a question I couldn't rightly answer. Haven't been invited into too many households of late.
pariya: considering, neutral (049)

[personal profile] pariya 2016-07-05 01:02 pm (UTC)(link)
... What about your own...?
nockgun: (pic#7859363)

[personal profile] nockgun 2016-07-06 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
[He laughs softly.]

Now what would a soldier do with that? A household's only a place to send all your wages to and the Lord only knows I get little enough of that as it is.
pariya: thinking, talking (016)

[personal profile] pariya 2016-07-09 11:47 am (UTC)(link)
Huh...? Why does being a soldier make a difference? Everyone deserves a place to return to! Otherwise what's the point in fighting, anyway? If it isn't to protect your friends and family...!
