TEST DRIVE MEME

[behind_the_box]

Starting now, we'll put up a new one of these very month! Feel free to use the current setting of Pandora (Christmas in July) or make up your own! You can also use the following scenarios if you'd prefer:

1. Mushroom Kingdom

Have you ever wanted to be a fairy? Well now you are, even if the answer was no! The City is a big, big place, all of a sudden. Houses are roomy affairs inside giant mushrooms, there are colorful flowers everywhere you look, and the animals are always friendly! Unfortunately, the only food items being sold in the market this month are fruit, fruit, and.... more fruit.

2. School Town

You may be too old to attend the academy, but that doesn't seem to matter; your attendance is mandatory anyway. Or perhaps you're there to teach, because you're the only resident of Pandora that possesses a certain skill. It doesn't matter if it can't be learned; you have to come up with a lesson plan anyway. At least the uniforms aren't some god awful color, right?

3. Zombie Apocalypse.

There's no coming back from death in Pandora, so you'd better do all you can to survive. Three quarters of the city are already infected, and this is the last stand. Are you going to pool your resources and try to make it together, or is it time to stop trusting others and go it alone until the month is over?

Your job aside, people not dying is usually looked at as a good thing.

[At least, it meant this strange place didn't regularly do things that killed people.]

So, since you can't do your job as much as usual, what do you do around here?

[allthetime]

I guess so but you'd think they'd get old enough to die of old age or something! I thought humans didn't live that long?

[She doesn't sound all that bothered by it, though.]

I like to people watch and explore the different islands. This place is really a lot bigger than it looks and there are so many neat things to find.

[shatteredservice]

I'm afraid natural death and I aren't very well acquainted so I can't really help you with that, though compared to many things, yes, the span of a human life is very short.

[He gives her a curious look.]

Do you not have a job then? How do you pay for anything? Do they trade here?

[allthetime]

Necessities are free! I tell fortunes if I need funds for anything.

[shatteredservice]

Necessities are free?

[Diarmuid seems truly puzzled by this.]

How can the city support itself if so much is just given away?

[allthetime]

It is a mystery.

[shatteredservice]

One that doesn't matter, I suppose.

[He laughs, bringing his hand to his chin and rubbing it.]

And isn't nearly so interesting as talking about your job was. What interesting thing should I try to figure out next, I wonder...

[allthetime]

I can't help that I'm so fascinating!

[It's a joke. Probably.]

[shatteredservice]

[Diarmuid certainly thinks it is and laughs.]

You are very interesting! I would say you give this place a run for its money in the interesting department even.

I wonder...would you be willing to show me around a bit and lend some of your brand of interesting to the boring process of learning this place?
