TEST DRIVE MEME




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.

[ After so long of arguing-apparently pointlessly-with the sea dragons, it was nice to see another human approach. No amount of experience at any number of royal courts could have prepared Josephine for the absolute stubbornness displayed by these creatures.

The fact that they reminded her so much of the high dragons of Thedas, even though they took noticeably different forms, wasn't helping either.

But Josephine was far from too far out of her element to offer Natasha a polite smile before greeting her, voice somewhat hushed so as to not easily be heard by the dragons in question, now a ways away. ]


I'm glad that I'm not the only one trying to deal with this. Though I don't know if you'll have any greater luck than I-do you already know the details, or should I share them with you?

[ Realizing suddenly that she'd leapt immediately into work mode without so much as introducing herself, Josephine blushed slightly before offering her hand to Natasha to shake. ]

I am Josephine Montilyet, by the way. Of Antiva.

[ Her accent-and features-would much more closely match what Natasha would know as Spain, but that came from coming from another world. ]

[ Natasha's eyes narrowed at the woman approaching her, mostly out of habit. But she leans in when she starts speaking, eyes flicking over at the dragons before back to Josephine. She doesn't mind getting down to business, either. ]

Natasha Romanoff of... All Over.

[ She takes her hand and gives it a shake. ]

Tell me what you know and we'll go from there.

[ Even if it's all stuff she already heard. There could be a chance she found out something new. ]

The problem, essentially, is that they're too busy with their own drama to actually offer any help.

[ Turning back towards the dragons, she pointed out the three most important in turn. ]

Those three are Lagiocrus, Jura, and Galzra. Jura is attempting to court Galzra and largely failing, while Lagiocrus, Jura's uncle, is cross with him for making the attempt.

[ If Josephine wasn't so used to spending time with nobility and royalty, she'd find the whole thing absurd-but having been the ambassador for the Inquisition, time and time again she'd had to help others with their problems before they came to help with the much more pressing problems of the Inquisition itself. ]

They're all stubborn, and they all seem to be of the school of thought that our problems are far less relevant than their intrigues, even if ours are matters of life and death.

[ Natasha looks to where she's pointing, committing what she's told to memory and grateful for the amount of detail. At the last bit, Natasha can't help but respond with a dry, ]

That sounds familiar.

[ She then sighs through her nose and nods, ]

Maybe we should talk to the elder first, seek his opinion out while also showing respect in addressing him first. If they are stubborn and proud, that could be one way to make them listen.

While garnering his respect is likely a wise course, I suspect he might be the most stubborn. Still, we should speak with all three if needs be to get a fresh take on it.

[ At least the dragons viewing the affairs of humans as so far beneath them would mean that the trio would likely not remember her attempts to negotiate with them mere hours ago. Having tried plenty herself, Josephine allowed Natasha to take the lead. ]
