Happy testing!

Mix It Up

Normally, the morning announcement has you waking up in your designated bed, in your designated cabin, with your three designated roommates. This morning, something's wrong - you're waking up in a bed, in a cabin, with three roommates. But it isn't your bed, your cabin, or your roommates.

It looks like you've all been shuffled during the night. Pity no one's belongings got the memo, you don't recognise any of this stuff. At least you're in your own pyjamas.

Let Slip The Hot Dogs Of War

The carriage-length table and benches of the dining carriage are practical. Sturdy. Easy to clean. It's a good thing, too, because roughly thirty seconds ago, a handful of boiled vegetables went flying across the room and hit someone with a wet splat.

Twenty-nine seconds ago, war was declared.

One overturned bench and three pots of cabbage later, you've picked a side. Or a side has picked you, with a projectile sailing towards your face.

Follow Your Heart

The glittering, futuristic world of Tresques has long been protected by the Ciel Maidens, young women who wield their mighty empathic abilities to subdue and pilot gigantic mechanical monsters called Arc Frames. Now, with disaster on the horizon, their powers have vanished.

Team One

The primary foes of the Ciel Maidens are the Morne, hulking many-limbed shadows born from the nightmares and fears of the people of Tresques. Intangible, they roam the cities feeding on heightened emotions and stirring ill thoughts. Granted emergency Ciel badges and the use of the Arc Frames, team one are to combat the Morne wielding happiness, friendship and love as their weapons. Miniskirts are optional.

Team Two

Camille, ace of the Ciel Maidens, has disappeared, after sealing the empathic powers of the entire order to avoid the loss of any more Maidens to tragedy such as that killed her partner and destroyed their Arc Frame. Team two, based in the order headquarters, are to find out as much as they can about the fate of her beloved, find Camille, and convince her to unseal the powers of the Ciel Maidens.

Team Three

The Ciel Maidens have scattered to the far reaches of Tresques, seeking to restore their own powers and their confidence in themselves and each other. Some are so affected as to have birthed Morne of their own, the creatures possessing the Arc Frames and wreaking havoc. Team three are to search for the Maidens and bring them home.

"Yeah. That's what I'm thinkin' too, if I'm honest." He can admit that and not feel too down and out. He's known for incorporating different styles into his work to keep it fresh. He can do it here too. "I gotta plan something softer. Meant to soothe. Either way, we still need the deets of all that went down for me to write somethin' effective. Who knows? I might try to appeal to one thing and get it totally wrong." What if he tries to, for example, claim it's what her lover would want but it turns out they made a pact to stay angry forever? That song would be completely wrong for the situation.

"Not sure we'll get more than one chance."

"You are right, there. So do we leave and hope we come back with more to hand than what we have now? Or should I leave and attempt that, and let you stay here to compose?" And keep an eye on their wayward maiden. Kerry at least looked like less of a threat, when compared with a seven-foot-tall Draenei female in plate armor...desiring of bodyguards in the past or no, she was fairly certain if he had to, he could hold his own.

Neriene was fairly certain she could gather information on her own, but she valued the human's opinion--and if he was a bit nervous? She had no problems with having him accompany her. Two heads were better than one, after all.

Kerry doesn't like the idea of being left alone to stand guard. He's not a fighter and can't really defend himself outside of trying to talk down whoever is attacking him. He felt safer with a giant woman in armor nearby.

But, it makes sense for him to compose while she tracks down more information. He does his best work alone and she's probably much better at investigating.

He had once told himself that he'd learn to take care of himself. Even more so after someone who had promised to protect him ended up abandoning him instead.

"I think it makes more sense for you to keep lookin' and I'll stay right here. I can work out a melody and most of the lyrics with the info we have now."
