TEST DRIVE MEME

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?

[That gets a chuckle.]

You certainly would. That may be why so few true seers make it their business. The one thing worse than receiving bad news is giving it.

I'm not sure what you're supposed to do with a fortune once you get it, anyway. I suppose you could plan for whatever's going to happen, but that might just change it.

[Lithuania is not a big believer in the future being 100% set in stone, for many reasons.]

[I'ma pretend they're walkin' along now, and she keeps her eyes out for another fortune teller.]

It's entirely possible. Imagine you hear a prophecy of misfortune, and do everything in your power to prevent it. If she told you a stone would strike your head, you could be ready to dodge it. If she said you would be robbed, you could be awake to catch the thief.

[Lithuania follows along.]

Mn, but what about a self-fulfilling prophecy? If you change your routine to catch the thief but the thief only stole from your house because you changed your routine, for example.
neijing: (♃. birds in flight are calling there)

[She quirks a smile at him.]

That's when a specific prophecy is more help than a general one.

How would you know if what you were doing was making it happen or moving you away from it? Unless it listed everything you had to do, I suppose...
neijing: (♃. a clouded dream on an earthly night)

[personal profile] neijing 2012-12-06 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[but they do! oddly specific prophecies are the BEST :D]

There are signs, sometimes. Indicators that you are on the right path. At other times... it can be difficult to tell.

[not that she's speaking from experience or anything. actually that's a little close to home, but conveniently she notices another fortune teller and points him out.]

Let's try that one next, shall we?
vytis: (I don't know what hurt you)

[personal profile] vytis 2012-12-07 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Before Lithuania can question her tone--it sounds like she has some sort of experience, at least--Lithuania's attention is pulled to the next fortune teller.]

Well, alright...

[And now he comes away with a fortune of bad luck. Frankly, he preferred the first one.]
neijing: (♃. hangs upon the crescent moon)

[And Hama comes away intrigued. Also, slightly amused.]

It appears one of them is wrong.
vytis: (I've got a fever)

[personal profile] vytis 2012-12-07 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
Apparently. [The second one was probably more fitting to his usual luck, but...] I hope this one is the incorrect one.
neijing: (♃. sings at the coming dawn)

[personal profile] neijing 2012-12-07 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
[She chuckles.] We'll find out soon enough, won't we? It's interesting - the rukh responded to both of them, but in different ways. Now I'm curious as to which way it will turn out.
