TEST DRIVE MEME



Sinbad welcomes you to Rukh Gate!

Feel free to come up with your own scenarios, but if you're stuck on what to do, these prompts might help!

1. THE LEGIT REPUBLIC OF BLANKETSBURG - The dormitory halls are where you will be sleeping, so make yourself at home. You might have roommate problems, though. Check out your crazy neighbors! Try on your new robes! Do some exploring?
2. ANIME HOGWARTS - Pay attention! You wouldn't want to take remedial classes, would you? Maybe that mishap of an explosion you made might snap you out of your daze. Maybe you forgot your homework. Maybe you are taking notes, and you're shaking your head at the dunce who can't even name the eight types of Rukh.
3. LET'S GET PHYSICAL - Oh, you got Instructor Myers too. You poor thing. Better catch up with your running partner or you might get the whip! Running fifty or so laps around the academy can't be so bad... You might even run into someone new.
4. TEXTS FROM LAST NIGHT - Oops. You contacted the wrong person through your Rukh's Eye, or sent that letter to the wrong PO box... how do you deal?
5. I CAN SHOW YOU THE WORLD - Take your friends wonder by wonder, over, sideways and under on a magic carpet ride around the city. Or maybe you're the one who needs a lift - how did you get yourself stuck in a floating building!? You better figure out how to get down before your next class.
6. ELIZABEEEEETH - You're at a bar or a club in the city! Maybe you brought a friend to cheer them up or you're here to bring someone back home. Are you causing a scene? Popular with the ladies? Or were you fortunate enough to get the most beautiful girl in Magnoshutatt?
7. HELL WEEK - Exams? Papers? Presentations? Homework? MORE PAPERS? You're never going to finish this in time, are you?
8. GIRL, I JUST HAD A VISION - Fortune tellers that can see the past, present and future through various magical methods are all over the place - it's not too hard to look for one to consult. You can try this yourself if you want to, but are you sure it will work?
9. IT'S TIME TO D-D-D-DUEL - You're a first kodor and the higher-ups have arranged a magic duel for you to participate in before you can be admitted to your second year in Magnoshutatt Academy. Or, hell, you could be fighting with a fellow student outside classes right now.
10. LUNCH - Did you know that food in Magnoshutatt is magically grown? It's healthy, we promise. Be it the dining hall at the Academy or the restaurants in the lower districts, you're sure to find a filling meal. No one ever starves in Magnoshutatt!
11. THE SWEET LIFE - In Magnoshutatt, magicians are treated like kings! Go ahead and enjoy shopping in the 3rd and 4th districts as much as you can. But somehow, if one is perceptive enough, this doesn't feel right. Aren't these non-magicians too submissive?

Comments

Koharu Izaki | Shitsurakuen | 5

[willbeurprincess]

[ Koharu seems to have found herself in one off those tall floating buildings with little, if any, route down. Somehow the carpet she had ridden up here had disappeared on her and she keeps trying to flag down the nearest carpet without dripping her bags and becoming the very unfortunate headline 'Woman kills man with falling sandals and a pretty dress'. So far she is having little luck. ]

Excuse me? Pardon me, I'm stuck up here.

[economically]

...How did you manage to do that?

[She'll not get close enough to actually let Koharu board yet, partly due to not being sure if her transportation could even carry both of them and all the things that the other girl has with her.]

[willbeurprincess]

Oh--well...[Koharu takes a few steps back] I think someone took my carpet? I rode one up here.

[economically]

...That is why you should keep an eye on them. [Seriously, how naive is that girl? ...At least Ylva assumes that she's not pretending.]

[willbeurprincess]

I went inside the building--I'm not sure how I would have... Well I know better for next time. [She tuts at herself] Is there a way to call one? I'm really sorry for troubling you.

[economically]

I can get you and your stuff down, but not together. [She considers this a moment longer and then adds:] Against a small fee, of course, but it shouldn't be much. I'm feeling generous today. [Really, this girl...]

[vytis]

[Lithuania isn't exactly travelling by carpet--rather, he's been practicing flying around with magic. And it's mostly working better than expected, albeit with a few unexpected jumps up or dips down. He pauses, finding someone calling for help, finds he hasn't quite perfected hovering, and comes to a landing on the building.

He only stumbles a little, overestimating how hard he was going to hit the ground.]

Are you okay, Miss?

[willbeurprincess]

[Oh, Koharu backs up a few steps. She doesn't want to get knocked off, but she doesn't want to fall off either. There needs to be bigger balconies.]

Oh--um I'm alright. I just lost my carpet. Or someone took it.

[vytis]

Do you know where you left it last? I could try to find it. [He pauses.] Well, I suppose you probably already checked there. I hope no one stole it...

[willbeurprincess]

I just rolled it up and tucked it in the corner...I suppose in hindsight that wasn't the best idea.

[vytis]

Probably not. Especially not with something magical--who knows, maybe it flew away on its own...

[Lithuania can't help but distrust a lot of the magical things here. He's a bit more down to earth than all that.

Maybe that makes it more ironic that his magical nature here is apparently wind.]

...Where are you headed? Just down to the surface anywhere?

[willbeurprincess]

Oh well--can they do that? [She doesn't really know but she's curious now] I was just finished shopping and was going to head back to the school. But really, I wouldn't want to bother anyone, just the ground is fine.

[vytis]

I'm not sure--I don't see why not. They're magic carpets, right? [Lithuania chances a glance over the balcony down at the ground. It seems higher up, looking down at it, than it had seemed flying up from it.]

I might be able to help you?

[willbeurprincess]

Well, from what I know, I think magic has to be directed by the caster? I suppose they could enchant them to return to the booth afterwards...[She looks over the edge and goes a little pale] ...On second thought I...think I should stay up here.

[fortheworld]

My, that's rather impressive.

[drifting closer all the same; main reason she's being a little slow is she's trying to see how exactly you got up there...]

[willbeurprincess]

I've learned the very important lesson to not let ones carpet out of ones sight. [She gives the empty space around her a look of amused resignation]

[fortheworld]

...My thanks for the warning. Certainly; climb aboard.

[drifting up proper; she's assuming this thing can carry two.]
