Test-Drive Meme: September 2012

This meme serves as a practice ground for both new and old players of Somarium to both get used to voicetest characters they may choose to play in the upcoming application cycle. Potential applicants are more than welcome to join in on the fun. It works like any open meme and the rules are simple.

1. Post with your character and their name and canon on the subject line.
2. Roll 1-6 on the RNG
3. ???
4. PROFIT

1. Looks like the Ob Holm bazaar is having a sale. There's a few interesting trinkets here and there but maybe you need a little help deciding what to buy.

2. The dreamgate isn't accessible for the return trip back from Endouto to Ob Holm so it looks like you're stuck for a couple of days. Maybe it's time you gather some supplies or explore the area.

3. Someone just stole something off of you! Quick! Call for help or chase after them!

4. You know what's a good thing about that resort in Ob Holm? It's got a pretty cool oasis to chill at. Talk about a five star vacation.

5. Somehow you're taking a trip on Cid's airship over the desert. Whether to Somarium, Ob Holm or Endouto is up to you!

6. Reroll or go crazy and make something up!

Spyro the Dragon || Spyro the Dragon -- YEAH IDK EITHER

[dragonhero]

[oh snap, the merchants don't seem to take kindly to dragons roaming through the stalls.]

Hey!

[DUCKS A RANDOM FRYING PAN.]

I said I'm not—oh come on!

[and another dodge before he's just running through. man he wished he had Sparx right about now.]

wow you aren't one of my children get out??

[emblazing]

[ don't mind dany staring at a speaking dragon, before she talks down some of the merchants from throwing it at him further. her voice is commanding because she has no clue what the shit is going on but that is a dragon. she's going to be walking over with drogon on her shoulder, the other two in her arms. ]

..You speak.

uh yeah and you're not my mom so....(unsure)

[dragonhero]

[it's cool, he's used to dodging and rolling and ducking and weaving and—oh yay, they stopped. he seriously didn't want to start, you know, breathing fire on them.]

Uh...yeah. What, never seen a talking dragon before?

[and looking up curiously at the little ones. they...definitely looked different than the baby dragons he was used to. his kind are totally cuter—]

but i'm the mother of dragons.....

[emblazing]

No. Mine do not speak, at least, not in the common tongue.
[ she kneels and stares at him, eyebrows raised ]
Little one, are you full grown?

not this one.

[dragonhero]

Guess they haven't learned yet. [though he could probably understand them. dragon and whatnot. except for probably different dialect, can't be that different, right?]

Not yet, but I'm getting there.

[still kicks so much ass so...doesn't really matter much.]

you must be defected..

[emblazing]

[ daenerys blinks once or twice, before she pauses ]
Are there..many of you, where you come from?
[ these babies burn off faces, same here. except that's not kid friendly..o o ps..]

um. 'scuse you???? legit dragon right here.

[dragonhero]

Definitely, though we stick to the different worlds in the Dragon Realm.

but you don't look like army-conquering material..:< you look too nice!!

[emblazing]

...So more dragons exist in other worlds, then.
[ that brings a small smile to her face. ]
There are only four dragons, where I am from.

put him in a world full of baddies and he'll prove how "nice" he can be |D

[dragonhero]

[well that surprises him.]

Wow, seriously? What happened?

well then B)

[emblazing]

They died in battle or of sickness.
[ her voice hardens]
Others were betrayed, killed and butchered, stolen from their mothers.
Now their skulls litter the halls of the Red Keep, as a testament of a world that thinks the time of dragons is done.

[dragonhero]

[...whoa.]

That's...pretty brutal.

[good thing the elder dragons were just crystallized.]

But who did that?

[emblazing]

Their enemies. Those that had stolen from the dragons things that were not theirs to steal. Usurpers.

[dragonhero]

[...yeah that. really didn't answer his question, lady, but he got the idea.]

Must have been pretty tough if they took down all the dragons...but if I had been there I would have just roasted them.

[shendefeng]

[And he sees another dragon. Albeit a bright purple one one with small, yellow wings, and scales on his throat and belly.

Interesting.]

Pray do be careful - humans seem to take a dislike toward our kind.

[Another dragon talking? Nothing out of the ordinary for him.]

[dragonhero]

[...dude. you're kind of. big. even bigger than the elder dragons.]

Yeah, I'm kind of used to it.

But you must have it rough.

[shendefeng]

[You remind him of a rather... newhatched dragonet. Yet you seem to be more than capable of handling yourself, despite the meddling of those humans.]

It is true, due to my size people scream bloody murder simply due to my size.

[Oh, see those people? Yeah, they're wary and wanting to bolt at any moment.]

But I also have people back from whence I came that did not fear me. Those are the best sorts of people, in my opinion.

[dragonhero]

I've met a couple of humans who were all right back home, but most of them pretty much hate dragons.

[shrugs.]

Guess it's kind of a universal thing.

[shendefeng]

It is not so much hate back home, but fear that we might eat them, even though it is a rather ridiculous idea, and very unfounded.

[Okay, so at least not really. Just the few small ferals that might take a human or two if they are really, really hungry.]

However I am still much in agreement, it does seem to transcend all sorts of worlds.

Pardon me my manners, but what is your name?

[dragonhero]

[snorts.]

Tell me about it. Who'd want to eat them? [give him some pork or something. that'll work.]

Oh yeah! Sorry—I'm Spyro. You?

[shendefeng]

Exactly, why would anyone dare do so? I would much prefer cows or sheep better than I would them. Or even a fresh-caught tunnie would be better.

My name is Temeraire. Pleasure to make your acquaintance, Spyro.

[And with this, he gives him a small nod of his head. Then again, considering his size...]

[dragonhero]

You know what's good? Chinese takeout. [dead serious. go go fourth wall.] The spicier the better.

[and he'll just grin up at him and wave his paw.]

Same here. Always nice to see another dragon around—especially in a place like this.

[shendefeng]

[SURPRISE!]

The Chinese style of cooking is simply the best, I could not agree with you more, especially with all those vegetables and seasonings that they include along with the meat, those savory smells that entice and make you want to eat it all while taking your time to taste it, truly taste it.

[A wistful sigh. He so does love that sort of cooking.]

It is indeed very nice to know that one is not alone in this world amongst all the humans in this world. I shall hope we can speak at leisure and compare the worlds from whence we are come. I think it would be an interesting endeavour, to say the least.

[He's a curious one as well.]

[dragonhero]

Man, you take talking about food to an art.

[laughs.]

But I'm cool with that. I've been to a few different worlds before, but the only ones with dragons I knew about were the ones in the Dragon Realm.

[plus he seems like a cool elder dragon. not like most of the others.]

[shendefeng]

The Chinese way of cooking is a beautiful form of art that I do love very much. Compared to what I used to have before, it is the grandest thing one could ever conceive simply with everything that deals with their food.

[Yep. All of that is a BIG step up from live cattle, sheep or goat that is unseasoned and bloody. Though he did love guts when he was a fresh-hatched dragonet.]

I can only say that this would be my first time in such a world, so you would have more experience about this than I would. Still, I come from a world where there are many, many dragons, Spyro. It is only sad that I have not come across a world like your own, for I am quite sure I would have loved it.

[A world that is only for dragons? Draconic Utopia, that's what that would be.]

..okay that icon is making me giggle and i'm not sure why alkdjf

[dragonhero]

Is the place full of ninjas, too?

[that was a new experience for him...]

My world was filled with a ton of them, too. Actually it's pretty much the only place. All the dragons moved there and pretty much called it home.

[...okay move isn't the right term, but whatever. Spyro and history—he got the basics.]

But I'm sure you would have had a blast. If there were a portal or something here, I could even take you to Dragon Shores. That's where I was supposed to go, but somehow ended up in this world instead.

[probably the Professor's fault on that.]
