Test Drive #2


Test Drive #2




That Wand Is a Wonder!

You pulled down a book from a tall shelf in the Library of Starchime and promptly got hit in the head by a wand that was resting atop it. It looks innocuous, a cylinder of wood, but as soon as you pick it up, light streams out of the end. The barest motion is enough to make fantastic colors, and with a gesture you send light streaming across the library!

Light is all it does, right? Right?

Pranks for the Memories

Diatu Magicademy is a school -- one with different social groups, different Houses, different classes, different levels of experience... in short, pranks are inevitable. The latest one to make the rounds is the Sticky Glyph: step on a certain mathematical rune and the next person you touch sticks to you like glue. Casually brush against them, shake their hand, bump backwards into them -- however you did it, you have a new friend now, like it or not. The glyph wears off in about an hour -- do you wait it out, ask for help, or try to undo it yourself?

The Dueling Club

One of the more popular magical clubs, the Dueling Club is precisely as it sounds: wizards crossing spells, each trying to be the one to 'defeat' their opponent. How to do that varies by the sort of duel -- knocking your opponent off a platform, or getting them wet, or just good old rendering them unable to keep dueling. Less experienced students, like you, get the "water duel" treatment. Use your spells to get your opponent off of their stool in a small pool of water before they do the same to you! Losing means soggy shoes and a laugh at your expense; winning means pride, respect, and a chance for advancement into the club's informal ranks.

Chimera!

Transporting chimera is highly illegal without proper permits -- which is precisely why smugglers do it, and precisely why smugglers are valiantly struggling to extinguish their airship, while the beast responsible ambles down the gangplank and people flee like crazy. A small chimera, its shoulders are about shoulder height to a man. The goat head jabs at the cargo and building it passes, the lion head maintains a watchful forward guard, and the dragon head has taken the "burn it all, burn it all!" approach to greeting its new circumstances.

This is your chance to be a hero, and save the city of Anastara from certain doom at this beast's claws, heads, horns, and fiery breath. Or your chance to run like heck and hope it doesn't notice you.

[Pranks for the Memories]

H-Hey! Watch where you're go-- [And as she tries to pull away from the person she bumped into, she realizes that she... can't.] H-Hey!? What's going on?

[More of trying to tug her arm away from the other person's arm.] This isn't funny, did you put glue on your arm or something!?

[Chimera]

[Oh no. Oh dear. That chimera is bigger than her, and she still hasn't learned any offensive magic! What's she gonna do, poke it with a stick?

Nope, she's taking the 'run and hide' option. She could just run like hell and hope it doesn't notice her, but maybe it's a better option to wait and make sure it can't see her first.

So she's hiding behind a stack of crates, poking her head up every so often to check on things, muttering to herself.]

Ugh, I can't take on something like that by myself! If only Robin or Chrom or any of the others were here. A healer can't fight on her own! [AND THIS PLACE TOOK THAT FROM HER TOO!!! She's too new to really have much progress on re-learning her healing.]

[Sunset isn't a strong enough witch to fight it yet, and she knows it, but she's still close enough to the start of the madness to be trying to run from it. She nearly trips over a crate and stumbles across a lone person.]

Hey! You're from the school too, right? Come on, let's go back.

[While she's happy to see someone that isn't a chimera...]

I think we should probably wait until that thing isn't looking our way! What if it's faster than us?

[Well, that was strange. But at least he was stuck to someone he knew, and not some stranger that might cause him to freak out.]

I'm one of the few people who wouldn't do that, Lady Lissa.
