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!

Just the basics. [With that part of the awkward, confused introduction out of the way, Korra relaxes, cocking her head toward what looks like the beginnings of a campfire.]

Why don't you sit down and join us? We were just about to cook up some lunch--trust me, it'll take a while to explain the whole thing.

[checkoutmyttk]

[He raises an eyebrow at that information but begins to follow her over, eyes trained on Naga with thinly veiled concern.] By 'us' do you mean you and uh, him? Her? [He inclines his head towards Naga.

For all his invulnerability, no one would ever guess at it given the nervous way he skirts around the giant canine.]

[braavado]

[Korra can't help it--she laughs. After the stress of adjusting to this world, it's nice to find moments like these, where she can find the humor in things.]

Relax. That's just Naga. [Completely oblivious to Kon's distress, Naga pads closer to him and sniffs at him curiously, tail wagging.] She's friendly, I promise.

[checkoutmyttk]

[Look Korra. Look. You don't understand okay. Kon continues to fix Naga with a dubious expression though he manages not to move away when she moves closer.]

Yeah? 'cause dogs don't tend to like me. Opposite in fact. [He's sure it's a species thing. Never mind that Clark got along fine with them, the depths to which Krypto hated him couldn't possibly be natural. And he's definitely not being a drama queen about it no matter what his friends say.

He reaches out a tentative hand to Naga's nose, looking like he's ready to pull it back at any second.]

[braavado]

[To be fair, Naga's pretty intimidating to most people, and Korra knows this all too well. That's the only reason, she suppresses her smirk.]

Well, Naga's not a regular dog. She's a polar bear dog. [Because, you know, that's helpful information. Naga, to her credit, completely forgoes Kon's extended hand and gives Kon's face a rather enthusiastic lick in greeting. ]

[checkoutmyttk]

She's a wha-[DOG LICKING HIM. THAT JUST HAPPENED. Although he guesses that's better than dog trying to bite his ankle off, but now he's covered in giant dog slobber. (And giant dogs have a lot of slobber.) Kon takes one look at his dripping front and blanches, quickly running a hand over himself and using his TTK to pull the moisture out and fling it to the ground.

He manages to get his hair dry but styling it is a lost cause.] Ugh.

[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.]

[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?
