TEST DRIVE MEME
| TEST DRIVE MEME |
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!
no subject
No, just delivering it.
[She'll figure out what the heck that pose with the hands was supposed to be after she catches her fugitive livestock.
The goat caroms off a pile of empty crates, toppling them and forcing Aila to hurdle the sudden obstacle--which she does, almost gracefully. At least, she doesn't turn an ankle landing.]
no subject
[Rather than bounding over it, she leaps on top of it, and uses the momentum to push her farther forward. She grabs a rock and tries to throw it at the screamer's hooves, attempting to knock it over so the other girl can catch the blasted thing.]
no subject
Don't hurt it!
[Aila yells over her shoulder in irritation, which distracts her enough that she goes plowing into a bystander foolish enough to think he could step into the street and not be run over by a Viking woman pursuing livestock.
Her "sorry!" is somewhat muffled by the shoulder roll she executes to maintain her momentum, but it's sincere, believe her. She's back on her feet smoothly--only to trip over the goat, which Mara has indeed knocked to the ground with a well-placed throw.
Aila's loudly-expressed opinion of this situation redacted as unsuitable for a family RP thread.]
no subject
Are you happy now?
no subject
[She hisses, attempting to pin a pissed-off goat.]
no subject
Then you probably don't need any more help. [Yep. She'll just watch.]
no subject
It's just a goat and she's the Dragonborn, so the uneven wrestling match quickly resolves in her favor, albeit not without loud protest from the loser, and she uses the lead rope to hogtie the stupid thing. You have lost walking privileges, goat.
Aila cools down quickly--figuratively; she hates hot weather--and by the time she's done with goat-roping, her normal easygoing temper has reasserted itself.]
Thanks.
[That's sincere, or she's the best liar in the city.]
no subject
[So she puts her hands on her hips and she thinks.]
You're welcome. Is that thing yours? [She points to the screamer.]
no subject
No, I'm just the middleman.
[The hugest sucker, it's her.]
I should have asked for a bigger fee. Forgot how terrible goats are.
no subject
[Simple enough to remember. This beast, native to the area, is a goat.]
And you wrangle these things?
[Mara, queen of constantly under- and overestimating everyone, assumes her companion won't mind the questions, being some sort of native simpleton goatwrangleress.]
