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?

[By now, Sola-ui has curled up into an exhausted little ball and despaired of any rescuers. All she can do is wait for the zombies to consume her. However, it seems that she is not meant to die yet, since some new comer had just saved her.]

...Who..?

[She starts to call out, but stops herself. There's a possibility that this "rescuer" would also be hostile toward her.]

[ Lancer hears the voice and stops moving immediately, his body tensing as it forces to still itself suddenly while he strains to pick up more signs of someone else inside the store. When none come, he forces his way through the wall and glances around him.

He knows he heard a voice. He heard someone. Someone is here, hiding, and he doesn't blame them for being afraid. ]

Please... I will not harm you.

[marriedthebloke]

[The voice is a familiar one. Older, perhaps. More tired. But still a familiar one.]

Diarmuid?

[She calls out, but doesn't move from her hiding spot.]

[knightwalksintoaboar]

[ The voice sounds familiar to Lancer too and his heart leaps into his throat, choking him. His eyes go wide and he begins to tell himself that he must be imagining it. The similarity is only coincidence. It can't really be her. ]

I-Is there no one with you, miss? Is it not safe in the rest of the store?

[marriedthebloke]

I can't find anybody else...

[She takes a deep breath, trying to calm down.]

I have to ask you--are you Diarmuid?

[knightwalksintoaboar]

[ The more Lancer tries to assure himself that it isn't Sola-ui, the more he becomes convinced it is her. He swallows hard, his mouth dry suddenly, but he takes a few steps in the direction of the voice. ]

Yes. Are you... Sola-Ui?

[marriedthebloke]

Yes, I am Sola-ui Archibald.

[She gets up and starts moving toward the voice. She's a little worried at how hesitant it sounds.]

And...are you my child?
