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 of them player characters, the Flaws, are welcomed as curiosities. Whether they're among the passionate, oft thought as hot-headed, but hospitable folk of the Banner or the noble and haughty people of the Empire, your characters will find a wide variety of cultures, races and simply people to interact with and investigate. They could be seeking employment, answers to the mystery of their arrival or other folk like themselves, or a quiet place to drink away their worries.

03. WILDCARD!

[braavado]

[At this point, keeping a straight face is a lost cause.] See? I told you she was friendly.

[All teasing abruptly leaves her expression when she sees his little trick with the TTK. She watches him curiously.]

What was that just now?

[checkoutmyttk]

[He's almost so disgruntled he misses the question but thankfully tunes in on a few key words and expressions and immediately brightens up. He rises about a foot into the air and shoots her a broad grin, all the while brushing some imaginary dust (or slobber) from his shoulder.]

Oh that? That's just my tactile telekinesis. Pretty cool, huh? I can use telekinesis on anything I can touch. [One day Kon will stop explaining his powers to people he doesn't know, but today is not that day.]

[highflights]

Yeah.

[ She looks around. ]

You wanna fly ahead? Call if you run into trouble. I'll go talk to the others.

[braavado]

[Wow, he sure recovered from that really fast. His enthusiasm's infectious, though, and Korra finds herself smiling at him again.]

You lost me at "telekinesis". [She tilts her head.] Is flying part of the whole...telekinesis thing?

[braavado]

Some of us show up together. That's how I met some of the others.

[She pauses, shifting her gave pensively to the side.]

The others I met by accident--kind of like what happened with you. We're keeping an eye out for any newcomers. You know...help them out if we can.

[glitchinthesystem]

[ He narrows his eyes, if just a bit suspicious at this woman's apparent selflessness. That usually never comes freely so he tilts his head and folds his arms. If he could look anymore guarded he would develop armour plating. ]

Seems pretty generous of you guys. Whaddya get in return for helping newcomers like me?

[ because there's always some kind of catch.]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Whoa, hold on, you're confused! I'm not the Overlord of the entire cosmos. I'm the most badass freakin' Overlord IN the entire cosmos. That makes me king of the help, but there are other Overlords out there!

I DO have a pretty good record with bringing terror and misery to various worlds, though. [Zetta reflects on his sins and atrocities with a proud smile and an arrogance that a book shouldn't have.]?

[braavado]

[Korra raises her brows at him, clueless about his sudden wariness.]

Uh...nothing? I mean, it'd be great if you helped us keep an eye out for new people like us, too, but that's about it. [The smile she gives him is tired, but genuine.] We don't really know how we got here, or why. That sounds like a good enough reason for all of us to stick together, don't you think?

[glitchinthesystem]

[ He can't really argue with that logic. Considering how cut and dry the situation was at the moment.

If one thing was for certain he wouldn't be making here alive if he stayed by himself. Suppose he'd have to make a reluctant alliance with this girl and others down the line. ]

Yeah, yeah you have a point. Can't really get out of here if we don't know what the fuck is going on.

[ Not one he likes but it's a point. Still, he kind of looks at her appraisingly. Could he trust this girl for the time being? After all, she did kind of save his ass when she could've bolted.

Tentative trust. That's what he'll give for now. In which case he'll extend a hand for a handshake. ]

Glitch. [ This is his way of introducing himself. ]

[sigillum]

It's what they do to witches.

[The explanation is scribbled quickly on the paper, and Ollie doesn't look back at Korra as she slides it over. The words are the truth, but not all of it, and she doesn't want to think about the witches who are less lucky than her.

Losing her voice was better than losing her life.]
