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

[8oner]

[She just wishes she could say that she has better things to do than sit in a cramped hall listening to Meenah snack on strange-smelling confectionery, but with little resources and growing annoyance, re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-reading over a few textbooks is the next best thing for Aranea to be doing.

Even though she sighs quietly and snaps the book in her hands shut, she doesn't really mind the interruption.]

I've been getting the distinct impression that we're expected to behave appropriately until our dormitories are formally prepared for us.

[That's reason enough to be glancing warily at her tyrian companion. Meenah, behaving appropriately. Meenah, behaving.]

Though, in your case, I would venture to believe that the course of action expected of you is that you try to keep yourself out of trouble for the time being -- if you can manage. [:::;)] I could lend you some of my reading material, if you'd like. Penalization for a studious attitude may just be as much of an improbability here as it always was.

[sucka]

So we're supposed'a be doin' nofin.

[At least she let her finish instead of interrupting with the fakest and most obnoxious of snores — or anything similar.

Having to sit through their summaries was bad enough, there was really no reason to be reading anything. This went double with having to deal with teachers now. Unethical punishment, this was.]

You minnow betta than to think I'd wanna read any kinda book like the kind in your stash. Besides, I'm willin' to bet you've read every book here enough times for the both've us. Doesn't that defeat the porpoise of havin' 'em in the first place?

[8oner]

[God, what is she going to do with such a troublesome student once their classes actually begin? Whoever brought Meenah along must have a few screws loose.

The book Aranea had been reading is held against her chest, and the smile she falls into is a bit more teasing than anything.]

Thrice, actually, which I fear may not be enough to fill the holes in your thinkpan, try as I might.

[Maybe that's an understatement. She's had enough time and enough boredom to practically memorize most of her reading material.]

There's nothing wrong with doing some revision now and then, you know. I'd hate to think of how quickly you would go throwing these things away, should you ever bother reading any. I like to think of myself as a literary saviour.

[sucka]

Aww that's sweet, torturing yourshellf so I don't gotta deel with this square goober carp. Thanks a mil.

[Come on, Meenah doesn't pick on her for having a shocking lack of interest in the art of stabbing strangers to death for no particular reason other than them entering her line of vision. Life would have been a lot easier if they were all on the same page with that murder stuff.]

The only kindsa saviory holey stuff I care aboat pacifically hasta do with pokin these suckas with ma gold pointy jam.

[Just a reminder.]

[8oner]

Anytime.

[So impossi8le!!!!!!!! At least that was something they had in common. With Meenah's attitude and Aranea's habit of talking and talking and talking, they were somehow a good enough match that even subtle jabs weren't no thing.]

And here I was hoping you had put down the trident and turned over a new fin! You should at least wait until you acquaint yourself with the area properly before you go getting yourself reeled in for fork murder.

[Did they even have any laws against poking holes in strangers around here? Better yet, what's the cost of bail?]

[sucka]

[Were those fish puns? Those were definitely fish puns. Look at the utter glee spreading though her face. Fish puns were always great. Fish puns were the bomb.]

Not a flippin chance, it's bad 'nuff I gotta be here. I haven't seen any jam-tackles around so don't jinx it.

[Because unless someone with some kinda prosecutional position was lingering around, murder was completely legal anywhere.]

[8oner]

[Some people are so easy to please, and she doesn't even need to try. The vernacular comes with the territory. Next thing you know, Aranea will be speaking ghetto.]

I'm certain you'll warm up to your current position eventually, jam bait inclusive or otherwise. Are you sure this isn't just your natural opposition to authority speaking?

[sucka]

[wE DON'T NEED ANYMORE OF THIS.]

Ain't this where I'm spost'a go: stfu Serk.
Who do you think the authority is in most every kinda joint?

[8oner]

[What is up my home skillet 8iscuit? ::::)]

Ooooooooh, now that's a tough one. I haven't had much time to look into who would be in charge of calling the shots here, yet. I'll get back to you once I do.

[sucka]

[more like BIZZznasty or something wowa i'm bad at slang??]

How 'bout: don't bother.
If ya reely wanna know why don't you just start a big fuckin' stink 'bout somefin? Pretty shore you're just tryin'a piss me off though.

[8oner]

[Carpin' up the wrong.... something.........]

Honestly, Meenah. It was just a joke. [At least she still had the spine of her book to hold onto a bit tighter while she huffed.] If I had known this transition would put you so phenomenally on edge, I would have kept myself scarce.

[sucka]

[Carpin' up the wrong reef.]

Oh.
Here I thought we cod get up to some jabbin' together for research porpoises.

[8oner]

Meenah! [This is one of the most insufferable sighs you will ever hear.] There are easier ways to test the waters than jabbing at them with your trident. I think I was on the right track with the reading idea, for instance.

[...]

And, no, you can not go poking books, either!

[sucka]

Nah.

[That's all your idea is gonna get.]

Since you brought it up, we cod get a buncha books and spear 'em through like torches. You know how flammable a book is? Notta big loss since ya reed 'em all like a mil times.
