mangoshit | 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?

[ She is, for once, staggering ever since her arrival only because it seems that most of her prana is being suppressed.

Somewhere.

Somehow.

It is truly a mystery. Either way, who wouldn't be screeching over 50 laps?! Fortunately, her legs haven't withered away or cramped as she easily catches up in the beginning of her long, painful journey. Running partner-- ]

How are you faring?

[ Yuuta isn't even running. What he's doing might be called jogging if he wasn't moving at a slower pace. ]

I've seen better days, [ he catches his breath ] milady.

[ With the desire to test the waters and see if she'd play along deep in his heart, he replied without thinking. Ever since their first term at the academy begun, he noticed that this girl had a strange way of talking. She spoke like a princess from the Middle Ages! Could she have chuunibyou? No, it's too soon to say. For all he knows, she might actually be one. ]

[ Power...walking pseudo jog? She blinks a couple of times before slowing down so she doesn't run past him. Now that she's steadily power walking by his side, she tilts her head at that.

No one has really referred to her in such a way before. It's always the other way around, but--OH RIGHT, SHE'S A GIRL. She guesses she'll give him an A for effort or something since she knows she doesn't exactly fit in (no one does though). ]

You may call me Saber... [ It's still kind of weird and it's much better to at least introduce herself. ] That seems to be the case for the rest as well.

[ Taking a quick glance over her shoulder, she can see the limping corpses of their peers lagging behind. Looks like they overexerted themselves from making a sprint start. ]

[ Oh crap! Yuuta almost bites his tongue when he says that out loud. But Saber, huh? Was that a normal English name...? Yuuta shrugs it off. Compared to most people, there's nothing weird about this girl. He talks to her normally this time. ]

Heh, it's not everyday that they're threatened by an electric whip, either! That's what keeps them going. Uh, I'm Yuuta Togashi. This teaching style isn't very popular in my world anymore, but I'm not...

[ Instructor Myers' whip cracks and buzzes in the distance! The terrifying thought of it touching his skin prompts him to go faster! But he doesn't go very far. In a few seconds, he's at his old pace again. ]

...used to it in the least!

[ Ob...viously not a normal English name. Oh, what's with this sudden change of tone? Were you technically trying to offend her?! DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU SPEAK TO-- ]

Yuuta... [ This boy appears to be fidgety while she doesn't even flinch at the sound of the crackling sparks. There is no blame though, she assumes that most wouldn't be used to it. She thinks at least. ] Worry not. As long as we keep a steady pace, we will come out victorious and unscathed.

[ More emphasis on the victorious part, but unscathed is good, too. Not that she's overstating his abilities, she's only sure that this is the least she can do to help this little lamb. Let this lion carry you in its mouth filled with sharp teeth. ]

[ No sharp teeth please. Also she sounds like Rikka. Crap, is he going to get contracted by this girl, too... Well, that's fine. He has nothing against chuunibyou. He can't deny that he was moved by her words, either. But something in him stops him from playing along. He doesn't want himself to relapse!

oh gosh they're on first name terms now

this got too western for him i'm sorry ]

After an hour of running up and down this tower, I'm not so sure if there's any victory to achieve anymore...

[ Fear not, lamb. For you are no magus, therefore are incapable of summoning a servant of this level without a relic--wait.. What is this...? She will not allow such negativity in her presence!

Only determination fills her emerald eyes as she picks up in speed. Only a small amount of course, she doesn't want to abandon him to the wolves. ]

There is victory. I can feel it. [ In her strained calves and the serotonin build up in her brain from all this exercise. ] You must not give up, Yuuta, even if the situation looks bleak.

[ She's kind of waiting for him to catch up now as she slows down again. ] Perhaps a cup of water will revitalize your spirits.

[ He stumbles before he matches Saber's pace. There's something about this girl that inspires him to follow her. If she says anything more he might reply as the Dark Flame Master himself! ]

A cup of water sounds nice. [ beat ] But I don't have any cups on me right now...

[ Just don't introduce yourself as that, it's kind of an embarrassing title. Would not invite to the party of kings. ]

That's fine... It looks like we're close to the top, so you can at least catch your breath. [ DON'T WORRY, THE OASIS WAITS FOR YOU AFTER ONE MORE ROUND DOWN!!

But once they reached the top, look at that view--wow I don't even know what the place looks like, but let's pretend it's pretty and stuff. Looks like she enjoys the nice breeze with how high this thing is. Let me assume as much as I want... ]
