TEST DRIVE

Welcome to Visada's TDM! Feel free to get as creative as you'd like with these prompts. None of the threads will count as game canon. This is just to give you a chance to play around with the setting and get a general idea of just some of things that can be done in the game.

OPTION 1

Mistress Philenor, one of the vivacious butterfly-winged fairies that runs a shop in town, has asked you and another helpful soul to go out to the small lake on the northwestern side of the island and pick some Swallowtails. She needs a bushel of the flowers to make more of her popular aphrodisiacs.

You and your partner for the outing leave the village and make your way to your destination. The water in the lake is clear and fresh, you can almost see all the way to the bottom. A small island sits in the middle of the lake, within swimming distance to those so athletically inclined. A tiny stream travels off to the west, emptying into the sea.

On the southern shores of the lake grow the Swallowtails: great flowers of vibrant hues of blue.

Just remember Philenor's warning. Breathing too deeply of the pollen may have unintended consequences.

OPTION 2

Word arrives by lamassu post that there's unrest with the sea dragons. They're refusing to aid the villagers and transportation between the main island and the smaller one to the east has been cut off. People have been stranded there for two days now and something must be done.

You volunteer to help and head toward the eastern shore.

Maybe you meet others on your way and you decide to work together to see if you can resolve this. Maybe you enlist someone else's help when you learn that Lagiocrus (an ancient blue dragon) is cross with his nephew Jura (a young, free spirited green fellow who doesn't have much respect for people yet) over his foolish courtship of the princess Galzra (a haughty blue dragon from the far north).

All of the other dragons in the vicinity are too caught up in the drama to worry about the petty concerns of mortals.

Convince Lagiocrus that young love should triumph, or at least be allowed to get its heart broken. Talk up Jura to the disinterested object of his affection. Try to get Jura to see that there are other dragons in the sea. Or find some other way to either end the argument or lure the other dragons' interest back to helping out their landlocked neighbors.

OPTION 3

After a long week, you want nothing more than to relax at the beach. It's a great day for it. Fair skies, warm sands, calm surf, and naked bodies sunning themselves along the shore.

Wait.

Yes, that's right. This is a nude beach. Or if it wasn't, it is now that the first visitor decided to exchange bathing suit for birthday suit.

Do you join in? Ogle your neighbors? Swagger up to the hottie on the yellow towel a few yards away and start a conversation?

Have fun. Enjoy yourself. You've earned the day off.

OPTION 4

Wildcard! Make up your own prompt! Play around with the setting however you'd like.

1.

[Far be it from Tink to ignore a request from another fairy. Though they're not of the same world (and her wings are long gone), she considers all fairies her sisters. It wouldn't be very kind of her to refuse Mistress Philenor when she's asked for her help.

And it's being asked instead of ordered that feels like such a refreshing change. Back when she was a fairy, all Tinker Bell wanted was to be a good one. True, she'd bent a few rules and broken a few more, but she'd done all of that believing that the fairies were meant to help humans. It seems like her good intentions are recognized here, and she's started to hope that she can be some help to the people around her.

She's spent most of the trip to the lake making small talk, smiling and laughing and pointing out anything and everything finds beautiful here. After all of her years in Neverland, it's hard not to appreciate the freedom of a new land. This is a world she'd like to be a part of, and she knows that with a certainty she hasn't had in a long time.] Oh, here they are!

[Bright, beautiful swallowtails. She ought to know better than to smell them, but one quick breath should be harmless. They smell as lovely as they look, Tink can't help herself. She catches their scent as she starts to collect them, focusing on the task while her partner does the same.]

3.

[A nude beach isn't what Tinker Bell was expecting when she decided to spend a day there, yet showing up to find a group of people who had already taken off their clothes seemed to be reason enough to catch up. She'd never been especially shy when it came to revealing her body, though there were things that weren't right to do as a fairy and she'd done her best to avoid this sort of interaction with humans. Back in the Enchanted Forest, she had been expected to keep her distance from the same people she was required to help, and that disconnect had never made sense to her. Why not be a part of the world she was determined to make better?

With no such limitation in this one, Tink didn't hesitate to find a spot in the sand, still clothed until she found a place to set down her bag. There she began to strip down, one item hitting the sand after another, until she matched the crowd around her. She left everything there as she headed for the water, though she couldn't help turning to someone who was close by as she quickened her pace.] It's a lovely day for a swim, isn't it?

[ Natasha was still getting used to the fantastical creatures on the island. And to the world itself. It was a bit hard to process, at first, after trying to ingrain as much logic into things as she could. But then she remembered she knew a super soldier and a Norse God in her world. Believing in fairies wasn't that much of a stretch, all things considered.

Tink also wasn't bad company. A bit enthusiastic but Nat could see it was genuine. It was nice, in its own way. The walk itself was actually quite pleasant. She had almost forgotten they were on an errand.

But she's quick to warn Tink, after she watches her sniff the swallowtails. ]

Don't do that again.

[ Adding, like an afterthought. ]

Please.

[ They were warned for a reason and she wasn't going to ignore it when it came from the natives of this land. ]

[Tink wonders, sometimes, how much of her is still a fairy. Her magic is gone and so are her wings, yet she feels things so intensely. She'd only sniffed them because she was curious, and her interest in the flowers was nearly too strong to resist. Perhaps it's her own rebellious nature that prompts her to behave the way she does; when Natasha orders her to heed Mistress Philenor's warning, she nearly takes one last sniff.

Yet the please keeps those impulses at bay, no matter how empty it may be.]

It was only the one time.

[The flowers still have a wonderful scent, she smells it distantly and that's enough to satisfy her for now. Natasha might not believe it, but she does make the effort to keep them collected in one hand, far away from her nose. It's just that there's so much to experience here, after years of living in the darkness of Neverland. Having left a world where things merely existed, she doesn't know what to do with herself in one where beauty is allowed to thrive.]

Don't worry, Natasha. I won't let anything terrible happen to you.

[She's only teasing. The woman she'd partnered with for this little adventure is a capable one, and Tink knows it.]

This world is just so... different, than what I'd gotten used to. It's hard to ignore all that it has to offer.

[ Natasha may have never been trapped in Neverland but she had grown up in Russia. She knows what it's like to live another life apart from her past. A different life. A better one. She still forces herself to remain mostly restrained and in control. Better than that flying off the handle and getting sensory overload driven by impulse.

She snorts at Tink's reassurance, collecting the swallowtails and setting them on the ground in a pile as she collects more. At the other statement, she shakes her head, ]

You don't have to ignore everything. I think we should appreciate it, too. But there's a difference between ignoring beauty and heeding warnings of the dangers hiding in it.

[ Adding, ]

But then I'd rather be safe than sorry.

[ Usually. ]
