RAQIA TEST DRIVE

[raqiamods]

Are you considering apping to RAQIA?  Here's the time and place to give it a trial run, and see if it works for you!  Or you know, just play because there's no strings attached, and no one can stop you.  Just choose one of the scenarios below, or make your own, and get started!

1. The trumpeting is loud, insistent, and won't stop until you enter the arena for the game.  Maybe you're nervous, maybe this is your first time and you have no idea what to expect.  Maybe your teammates have warned you.  Or maybe you're old hat at this, and just want those goddamn trumpets to shut up.

2. To the victor goes the spoils, and your team won!  You have a memory in your hand, ready for the taking.  So, how was it?  What you expected, or is it just confusing things further?

3. Dinner time!  Having trouble getting everyone to give you space enough to cook in the kitchen, or are you hanging out in the dining room waiting for someone to finish cooking?  Have you not gone hunting or crop gathering at all, and are hoping to mooch off someone else?  Well, there's bound to be someone who's okay with that if you whine and wheedle enough. . .

4. The park is a little pretty, in a wild, unkempt sort of way.  Too bad about the all spiders and dogs, huh?  Or maybe that's what you're out here for, trying to catch one for a pet of your own.  Unless it's hunting you're after, not catching.  The beasts here all have some sort of natural defenses, but you have powers too.  Now's probably a good time to take advantage of them.

W-What if it's a f-fake??

[virtuesandweiss]

You heard of problems like that? Then I ask for a refund.

[foreveralawn]

Do those exist...

[virtuesandweiss]

I won it fair in square, so I hope so.

[foreveralawn]

Mine have been p-pretty weird so I h-hope so too...

[virtuesandweiss]

[ slips it in his pocket, instead of looking through the lens to take it ]

Weird? How much, on a scale of one to ten?

[foreveralawn]

W-Well...uh...m-maybe a...s-seven...? I don't know!! What am I c-comparing to??

[virtuesandweiss]

You tell me. You're the one with memories, aren't cha?

[foreveralawn]

M-Mostly it's just that...my p-powers are different...kind of...? It's weird...

[virtuesandweiss]

Oh, I heard about that. Doesn't sound too bad.

[ apparently not terribly impressed by that level of weirdness, he draws out the monocle again ]

[foreveralawn]

Oh... I g-guess it's not that weird then...

[I mean, Faustian contract with an actual demon, Faustian contract with Kyubey...does it really matter besides the fact that her soul is doomed...]

[virtuesandweiss]

[ gives a motion that's half nod and half shrug, neither gesture really fully completing, one shoulder not rolling back as he brings up the monocle to an eye, and looks through it, his head tilted ]

. . . . . . . .

Card games, huh.

[foreveralawn]

That doesn't sound too bad...

[virtuesandweiss]

Not bad, but weird. Had no idea they were so important.

[foreveralawn]

Some people take c-competition really seriously...

[virtuesandweiss]

Not "some". Basically everybody did.

[foreveralawn]

So...it's a p-popular hobby...?

[virtuesandweiss]

Understatement.

[foreveralawn]

The hobby part, or the p-popular part...

[virtuesandweiss]

Either or.

[foreveralawn]

Well, uh...that s-sounds...intense...

[not really]

[virtuesandweiss]

Don't gotta force yourself to lie to me.

[foreveralawn]

Well, uh, I m-mean, I'm glad you s-seem happy about it all...

[virtuesandweiss]

Anything's better than nothing. What about you? Gonna take yours?

[foreveralawn]

Uh...now...? Okay...

[puts the monocle to her eye :|b]
