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?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

( All you need to know is that he's somewhere between a child and an old man and nations in general are quite odd people )

( Feel free to use any prompt or anything else you might like to do )

( For whatever reason, Serra has decided to take him out to lunch. Maybe she just felt sorry for the poor boy. . . always trembling like he has some sort of an affliction and no amount of healing magic seems to make things better.

If magic can't help, obviously they need to seek more practical alternatives. She's ordered a few dishes from a local stand and is shoving the plates at him, )

Well, don't just sit there. You can't eat with your eyes, you know? Hurry up and eat. Here, try some of this over here. ( She'll point to some flat bread, ) And you're supposed to eat it with this over here and you can put as much or as little as you want. . . And it's all very healthy, I assure you.

( And as she shows him what to eat, she ends up eating some herself too. . .

I confess, she probably really invited him to have a lunch partner. )

Th-that's uh...

[Latvia didn't particularly care if it was healthy or not, there were some day's where he'd eat nothing but bacon after all. It was more the... well... forcefulness of it. Yes, that was it. Despite not knowing her very well he politely accepted her invitation with hopes that maybe they could bond more but with all the different dishes being pushed on him he wasn't too sure he wanted to]

Thank-you very much.

[He took the flat bread and tried it with whatever looked good to him rather than the 'correct' accompaniments]

You're absolutely welcome.

( She doesn't seem to mind that Latvia is eating incorrectly as long as he's eating and she's enjoying herself, )

I know, I know, you must be thinking, "Oh, Lady Serra is such a generous spirit!" and it's completely true. I love being able to help those in need. I know I might not look like it but I've had my own fair share of hard times and as a noble lady, I want to use my power for good. It's rather a fantastic sounding story, isn't it? How one is able to rise the most common circumstances and become as beautiful and important as me? That isn't to say that I wasn't beautiful before-- in fact, I was very cute, even as a child. I had many admirers.

( Does she ever stop to breathe? Well, she certainly stops to eat. )

What do you think?

( About what? Her story? The food? Serra, you can't just ask questions so randomly like that. )

Well, I wasn't thinking that exactly but it is nice of you to take me out for lunch.

[Latvia smiles and nods along to the rest of her story. She was a little... self-centered but he was willing to humor her for the sake of a meal]

I understand what you've been through, I've had to go through a lot of tough times myself. I think it's pretty noble to want to use your powers for good.

[Well, the duel in the end is a clear upside of this class. ...or downside to it, depending on how you define it.

Belarus certainly doesn't mind it. You need to stay in shape and all that if you want to protect your brother. Right now she isn't paying much attention to her opponent, though, because where is he, where is her brother, she sent him quite a lot of reminders about having this duel at this date and place. Maybe he didn't find it? But she cannot go and search him, that would be a forfeit at this point. Curses.]

[Dueling with Belarus is an idea no less than terrifying. Clearly it had been arranged by the administration, Latvia doubted that Belarus would really bother with someone as small as him and personally he'd rather avoid the battles that he didn't have to fight.

The fact she seemed to distracted was even more off putting. He rolled his wand in his hands and chewed slightly on his lower lip, wondering if he should ask]

Um... M-Miss Belarus, is something wrong?

[Too late!]

Brother isn't here yet!

[Seriously, how stupid do you have to be to not notice something like that, Latvia. She'd walk over there and... whatever, it would be against the rules and she doesn't plan on ending the fight like that.

Have a glare full of contempt for that question instead.]

[That was something he was relieved about. Performing in front of spectators normally made him nervous and in front of Russia he would surely choke. Inching backward slightly and making absolute sure not to make eye contact, Latvia mumbled something in an attempt to change her mind]

M-maybe he has more important things to do right now. Even if he isn't here I'm sure he'll be happy to hear about how you did after.

[It probably wasn't going to change any minds but he just wanted the duel over and done with as quickly as possible. The waiting was making him all the more anxious]

Brother does not have more important things to do.

[After all she would cancel everything to be there if he had something like this going on.

And also stop shaking this is distracting her from scanning the crowd.]

You should just forfeit. [Then she could get rescheduled and next time she would make sure that Russia didn't get lost on the way.]

Wh-what?

[Even though he didn't really want to fight he didn't really want to forfeit either. Latvia may prefer to avoid conflict but he's surprisingly stubborn about admitting defeat when he didn't even try]

If you don't want to duel then you should forfeit instead.

Forfeiting is for cowards.

[She's shooting a glare at him now. How can he insinuate that? Nevermind that she just told him to do just that. He's different. A shaking little pitiful creature, if you ask her (at least most of the time).]

[It was almost unseen but he did bristle slightly at the insinuation]

Then I'm not forfeiting!

[Latvia could be considered many things but a coward he is not. His grip tightens on his wand slightly. Even though he's not one to fly into fits of rage he is certainly a little more apprehensive that before. If neither of them are going to budge it seems like they'll be waiting for a long time]

Perhaps he's already here, you just can't see him... Or if he's lost we should get this over with quickly so you can look for him.

[Don't tell her what to do.

...though getting this over with to go find Russia, what if he is in a dangerous situation? - sounds like a good plan. She won't acknowledge that, though, and just turn to the judge.]

So will we start already?

Uh... yes, let's.

[It was about time, but he didn't feel any more eager about it. With his wand clutched tightly in his hand he assumed a more defensive position, preparing for the worst]
