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!

Yeah. And then maybe to the seas west. Or else I don't know.

[It'll depend on many things, but mostly what he wants to do. Waver's come to appreciate traveling under his own steam, so long as he can keep his head down.]

And you second guess was the correct one. I travel.

That's a great deal of wandering.

[ A traveler after her own heart, though her idea of traveling so frequently coincides with the accusation that she is avoiding her duty. It's a shame that people don't quite understand the little freedom she's had in her life - and how she has an obligation to the people, not just to the Wardens. ]

I've seen the maps; Pelea is a large place. How long have you been traveling? Do you have a cause or a goal in mind?

Three months, I think?

[Well, two months plus a week or so. Easier to round up, it does sound more impressive.]

And as for goals? Not really. Mostly I'm just enjoying the novelty of it.

The novelty of it? You speak as if this is your first time journeying.

[ That's a curious way of putting it. Neria doesn't make a show of looking around for anyone with him - but it's odd for someone so unassuming to be traveling on his own. ]

[There's a little nervous laugh, one that Waver's not quite proud of.]

My first extended time would be a better way of phrasing it.
