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 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!

[ Uhhh. That's not quite the kind of reaction he was expecting, and at this point he's really got to learn to just stop expecting things because even his fellow fish out of water are throwing him for loops ]

I am, but I can't say I've heard the word "Terran" before.

[ Flatly, ] Holy shit.

[ He laughs a little, and while he's not done being pissed at the universe for this latest curveball, he at least brightens just a hair. ]

Sorry, I just— I haven't been home in a while. Kinda surprised to meet anyone here who knows what The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is, I mean.

When you say you haven't been home in a while, does that mean you've been here or is there another piece of this puzzle I'm missing?

[ A hesitation. Then, ]

I'd been traveling abroad for a while before I got here, is what I mean.

Ah. [ He almost asks where, but that pause likely meant that there was more that Peter doesn't necessarily want to share. Why else would he be so vague about it? ]

I keep telling myself that I'm gonna travel more. This isn't what I had in mind.
