test drive meme #1.
Hello, passengers and potential passengers!! Welcome to the first-ever eyemind Test Drive Meme. Here you have a chance to play around in the game's setting before deciding to app, test out new characters, or just roll around and have some fun. Enjoy!
No invite is necessary to play in the test drive, but please remember thateyemind is a (semi)private game and you must request an invitation before submitting an application. Request an invitation here!
Please note: Threads from the test drive meme DO NOT count toward AC and ARE NOT considered game canon, but you are welcome to use them for your app samples.
SCENARIO ONE: LIGHT UP THE NIGHT
The ship has stopped on Arion, near the settlement of Taunican, at the height of harvest season, and since the planet is largely agricultural, that means there is a big harvest festival a-happening.
What's neat about this festival is that it's not just a celebration of the harvest - it's a celebration of the community, and of the planet as a whole. The dominant local religion (for lack of a better term) isn't exactly experienced in term of worship but of honoring the planet itself - the seasons, the landscapes, the crops. Natives talk of Arion as if it is a living, breathing entity, because for them? Arion is.
Every evening while the ship is docked, there is a bonfire in the fields outside the town square, starting at dusk. There's a giant potluck feast, with everyone in attendance encouraged to bring dishes to share, but no one will be turned away if they arrive empty-handed. Fiddles and flutes and drums provide the soundtrack for the folk songs about Arion the locals sing around the fire; dancing and games and laughter are everywhere. This is a peaceful, joyous celebration, and you're invited!
SCENARIO TWO: WE NEED TO GO DEEPER
You're asleep, but maybe you don't know that - in the middle of a dream, it's not always easy to tell the difference between reality and the scenes your subconscious creates. You find yourself somewhere that may or may not be familiar, doing something that may be mundane or fantastical, but you're not alone. This is a dream you're sharing with your shipmates. What secrets and truths will you learn about each other?
SCENARIO THREE: STOP HITTING YOURSELF
Ope, looks like Navi’s wandered a little too close to an interdimensional rift in space-time, and now things are getting a little weird. If you happen to have superpowers, you may find that you don’t have quite as good of a hold on them as you do normally, or maybe now there are unintended side effects that occur when your powers are used. Maybe your character usually possesses enhanced strength or speed, and now they suddenly find themselves too swol to handle ordinary objects without crushing them, or they may have uncontrollable zooms and be physically unable to slow their roll.
No superpowers? No problem! Non-powered characters may find themselves deprived of one or more of their natural senses, i.e., sight, hearing, smell, taste, etc. Have fun being suddenly and temporarily blind! Walk into walls, eat trash, be free.

[Except Milisandia was the only one he asked for help with. The others Hemera had readily fetched all on her own, as if realizing what it was Gaius needed then before even he had. She leans back on the bed, and he leans more heavily against it himself, pale, tired eyes never leaving his children.]
[No, that dread is still there. Lingers like a miasma over them, but to have all five of them, back in one place, together and safe... He can try to make himself relax again. And when Hemera's leg brushes against him, he absently reaches out to pat her knee, with something like gratitude.]
[Or perhaps to give her a reassurance he still doesn't quite feel himself.]
Though that motherly instinct will only serve you well.
cw: implication of miscarriage
Hemera takes a small, sharp breath and the hand on her stomach goes still. ]
...This promise of new life is one that will be broken, and for all my pain and sorrow I will feel relief. A dying world is no place for a child.
[ Now that she knows, she lifts the hem of her sweater enough to see the faint swell of her abdomen. She presses her hand to it again, wanting to imprint the feeling to memory. ]
I had always wanted to be a mother.

[It explains a lot, he supposes, in hindsight. The concern carved so deeply across his features softens out into something else, and he turns his gaze to the young woman instead.]
[Maybe it's not an experience he's known, no, but the loss of a child... That is something he's terribly, intimately familiar with, now, and he removes his bandaged hand only reach for one of Hemera's instead.]
From what little I've just seen, you would have been a wonderful one.
[It's not said to placate. He's not a man to lie to spare someone's feelings, and he's certainly not going to start now. Her treatment of his children was all the proof he needed to see, to know that.]
... You spoke of a Convocation in relation to his radiance.
no subject
I find out not long after Hythlodaeus dies. I grow weak from malnutrition. Then there will be days of agony, and my calls for help will go unanswered.
Motherhood was never meant for me, I suppose.
[ ...But here, in the warmth of a room filled with children and a womb once again filled with promise, she can almost let herself pretend—just for a moment—that the seed of life she carries will grow to bloom. That instead of what could have been she can think of what will be.
How different would things have been, if her childhood friend had not died? ]
The Convocation of Fourteen.
