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.

[ It should be obvious she is. ]

You do realize sex isn't the only thing that counts, right? You can kiss someone, hold their hand, hug them. Like this.

[ And she's wrapping her arms around Steve's waist, giving him a squeeze to demonstrate. ]

Something as simple as this counts and generates energy.

Is it? Because that's not what I was told.

[Arousal. That's what he'd been told. Capital A-rousal. And while a hug was nice, and he'd follow that up with a squeeze around her shoulders, it wasn't doing anything as far as the junk in his trunk.]

Not that I mind that, but... yeah. You might want to talk to someone about the specifics, Nat.

[Did he just--? Yeah, he did.]

[ She'll withdraw one arm but keep the other one around his waist as they walk. Why not? ]

Considering you can't even say the word "sex", I think you're the one who needs to talk specifics.

I can, I just don't feel like fitting it into every sentence. Sex. Look, the world didn't stop.

[She was a brat, but she was someone he trusted completely. It was... kind of nice to walk with an arm around her shoulder and hers around his waist. New, but nice.]

I mean arousal, Romanoff. That's what was on the brochure they sold me. If this is enough for you to get... well, if this is enough for you, that's a bit of a surprise to me.

[ She was indeed a brat. But she's earned the freedom to be one. Just a little. ]

I'm so proud of you for saying it out loud. Stark would be, too.

[ She then reaches up to pat the front of his stomach. ]

But you really gotta work on your words, Rogers. You keep saying stuff and anyone that didn't know you would probably get the wrong idea.

[Stark can kiss his butt.]

Yeah? Like what?

[That small, niggling fear that maybe he hadn't quite gotten a hold of the vernacular properly popped up.]

"If this is enough for you, that's a bit of a surprise to me" sounds like what to you?

[ Because Nat knows that sometimes things people say can sound different when coming from someone else. ]

Like what I meant. I may be new to the whole physical intimacy thing, but a friendly arm around the shoulder or you giving me a hug isn't enough to send... well, you know what I mean.

[It takes more than just a tap on the shoulder to get worked up, Natasha. That's what he meant. Geez.]

You can say it, Rogers. I promise you won't get a bar of soap shoved into your mouth.

You know what I mean, Romanoff. Most people don't get 'aroused' off a hug or a pat on the shoulder. It surprises me that you think that's all you'll need to... get by.

Hey, I know what makes arousal. But I asked for specifics and they gave me a list of things that count. Close body proximity and feelings of affection all seem to be the common denominator.

[ Make it sound even more analytical, Natasha. ]

And you're going to skim by on that?

[Seemed a little risky, considering they'd be sent back without a little more. Steve was still coming to terms with exactly what he'd have to do, but knowing the specifics were good.]

[ She shrugs, ]

Until I find someone I'm attracted to.

Right. Yeah, of course.

[Duh. That should have been obvious. It wasn't as if he was just going to walk up to the first woman he saw and...]

Well, you better get started. Looking for that someone.

[ She pulls her arm away and her body, walking ahead a few steps and letting her feet get into the water. ]

Yeah. I guess I should.

[Never mind the fact that he was watching her, noticing this was the first time he'd gotten to see her in a dress like that. Never mind the fact that there was no one he trusted more...

That way lay trouble. And still...]

[ She starts doing little kicks in the water some as she walks, mostly with the foam. ]

You don't need me to go around, introducing you, right?

I think I can manage to introduce myself to whoever I happen to find interesting.

[Yeah, he'd just be keeping that to himself for now. It was a little strange for him to realize that so far, only one person had caught his eye, and that might be out of familiarity.

Which wasn't entirely true... but he was a little wary about looking too hard at that.]

"Interesting". Nice choice of words, there.

What?

[Come on, Nat. How did he mess that one up?]

What?

[ She looks back over to him, ]

I said it was "nice". And it is. Gives you a lot of leeway in what you're looking for. Whatever that may be.

I feel like you're mocking me somehow and I'm not entirely sure how.

Even when I compliment you, you think I'm making fun of you. I think you're getting a little paranoid, Rogers.

[ She will even wag her finger at him for it. ]

[He gestured at her with his hand.]

It's you, Romanoff. Nine times out of ten, you are making fun of me.

Maybe it's just how I show affection. Ever think of that, Captain?
