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.

Hot Dogs of War

[pragmaticcollaborator]

[Majima might not have gotten Ray with his ball of rice, but Ray is nearby when some poor sap is caught in the face. And Ray knows an opportunity when he sees it, so he takes the chance to try and attack Majima from behind.

Look out Majima, because that sure is a twelve year old with a number tattoo on his neck trying to hit you with some scrambled eggs.]

[hikae]

[ The ultimate blind spot. The moment eggs hit him, he turns around, swooping a handful of cheese just lying around— Majima generally can't bring himself to fight seriously against a kid, so when he notices who had given him that eggcellent surprise, he

compliments him instead. ]

You got me good kiddo— [ And he gives up half of the cheese in the peace gesture ] Think ya can hit that big one if I do the distractin'?

[ And he points at another passenger engaged in the food combat ]

[pragmaticcollaborator]

[Ray's just ducking for cover from the flying food when Majima compliments him, and he hesitates before taking the cheese and looking in the direction of the passenger in question.]

Yeah, I should be able to hit them. [A grin. He's at least confident he can hit the indicated passenger and willing to team up, even if he's still a little wary of most people on the train.]

[hikae]

[ Majima gives him a thumbs-up and springs forward to divert the attention with the good, old ]

Maybe find someone yer size, eh? [ And gets to dodge a cake in his face. Though man, talk about small, enclosed space... ]

[pragmaticcollaborator]

[Meanwhile, Ray’s coming up from behind, cheese in hand. A little bit closer...

...And he takes aim, straight at the intended target. This is followed by him immediately ducking for cover again to avoid any wayward food.]
