Welcome to the Test Drive Meme for
escordvi! Anyone can participate in the test drive, regardless of invite eligibility. Just keep in mind that only those who have received invitations from the mods can actually reserve on June 24th and apply on July 1st. Our EMP/ATP can be found here.
For your toplevel, please include the following: Character Name | Canon | Armada Choice | TDM (IF TDMING). Current players can use the same header, just without the "TDM" label. We do require those who are TDMin'g to include the label so other players can distinguish between others.
For everyone's convenience, TDM threads can be carried over in game if you wish! If you are still unsure which armada to place your character, you can play it a bit loose and vague in the TDM and make retroactive changes if you carry over the threads. The log itself is set to cover starting from June 16th until the end of the month. Characters will appear at random intervals during this time rather than all at once, so players have some more flexibility on how much more adjusted they are for someone else.
If you have any question about the TDM, comment here. If you have questions about the game in general, please comment to the Game Info.

GETTING STARTED
This section can be timed for any time after June 16th until the end of the month, which includes during the current event. These prompts are to benefit those TDMing, but this portion can be handwaved instead and serve as a reference for players to know what their character will have experienced and learned on arrival.
However the new riftfarers arrive, they will be poorly clothed, practically rags or loose uniforms depending on the ship. Fortunately, veteran crewmates will guide them, escorting them to a room with a strange typewriter in it. After typing their name, the typewriter will magically continue and type by itself at a fast pace until it dings and rolls out the paper. This paper will have the following information:
After that, the crewmate will do their best to explain the basics of how they got here, what's going on, and what they'll need to do to live in Escordvi while they are here, giving them a small leather pouch with money. They will be reaching Eltrut soon, so the crewmate will suggest they look around, meet the others who have arrived. Even from their distance, they will be able to see the giant sea turtle that serves as Eltrut's leviathan.
STARTER SHIPS
There are two ships that serve as starting ships for each armada: Stormbringer for the Corsairs, and Royal Fortune for the Paladins. There are various ways new arrivals—or riftfarers as they will be called, among other creative names—will appear on or by these ships. The crews for both ships will also seem a bit odd to some, as it is a mix of humans and various animal folk, non-humans that look more animal than human. Some just look like large versions of their smaller counterparts. From birds, to seals, to even bears, there is no shortage of interesting faces and people on these ships.🚪 Random room. It could be empty, filled with crates or supplies; down in the hull where the livestock are kept; have the luck to awaken in a bed...or the misfortune of that bed already occupied; somewhere in the kitchens; in the bathroom—any room! Now let's hope the doors can open or someone may have to try and ask for help. Or jump through the porthole if there is one and it's above water.
⛵ On deck. If not in the ship itself, another possible spot to wake up to is somewhere on the maindeck. If they're lucky, they're on the deck itself. More unfortunate souls may find themselves caught in the sails or netting, the crow's nest, or on the top of the masts. Someone should be able to help, right? Or catch.
🌊 In the water. The most unlucky sods will find themselves appearing in mid-air just past the ship and plummeting straight into the water. Good news, there's always someone on the look out for such a thing and calls for help to throw a lifesaver get the rowboat will be made. Are there sharks? Well... ...Are there?

After typing their name, the typewriter will magically continue and type by itself at a fast pace until it dings and rolls out the paper. This paper will have the following information:
• Name and Shellphone ID (journalname)
• Armada (Corsair or Paladin, will match the starter ship)
• Cabin Number for their personal cabin on the starter ship
• Apartment Address for their personal address at their base armada location
• A basic map of the starting locations in Eltrut, including written directions (continued in the Eltrut section)
• A basic map of where they can find a chest with their original clothes and belongings (this will be different for every person and will be anywhere either on the starter ship or on Eltrut—players can be creative here).

Even from their distance, they will be able to see the giant sea turtle that serves as Eltrut's leviathan.
ON ELTRUT
Once in Eltrut, the new riftfarers will be greeted by several birdfolk who will be happy to give tours to those who may need them. Otherwise, anyone is free to roam as they please and will have a map for the following main places they should visit.🐚 Microshell. The first stop that is encouraged will be Microshell, the main store to acquire their own personal Shellphone. The paper they received on their starter ship will have their ID and the staff at the store will set them up, explaining how the device and the network works.
✒️ Inkwave, Tattoo Parlor. The next stop is Inkwave, a tattoo parlor run by a very burly but friendly octopus, Knistej. Here everyone receives their own unique magic tattoo, allowing anyone to cast specific single element spells and other magic. Note: tattoos are required before anyone will be able to use their original magical abilities.
📜 MANTA office. The final stop is the MANTA office, where all the request, mission, and task notices are posted. Each armada has their own branch office for armada specific notices as well. A great place to find jobs to earn some cash so they don't stay a hobo forever.

LATROMMI
Latrommi, a beautiful, lush heart-shaped island renowned for its beautiful beaches and perfect weather, making it the perfect paradise for romantic getaways. When docking on Latrommi travelers are greeted with a small beachside town that has been built into the side of the beach and tropical mountainscape. Boardwalks, wooden bridges and ladders connect the shops and buildings for a nice walking experience. There are shops, taverns, rooms for rent, bard performances and more. The town also boasts of their special coffee or wine bath spa that is said to put some pep back into your step too. Although there is a discount promotion currently in place, those who wish to stay at the beachfront resort can also opt to help locals as a way to "pay" for their stay.
Exploring any of the beaches on the island is encouraged! But there are some warnings to be wary about while exploring the sandy beaches. Some of the beaches are rumored to make people feel like they are ten years younger while some of the beaches make them feel as if they are ten years older. No one knows how these time lapses affect the body and mind. But other than that, enjoy some of the simpler beaches that are just fun in the sun and seashell collecting all day long, no strings attached. Don’t forget the swimsuit!
For those who wish to have a bit more privacy, be it for a romantic tryst or just somewhere peaceful to relax, there are a number of places one can find. Beaches, coves, grottos, groves, even caves in the mountain side. While there are wild animals, there are not too many aggressive beasts, so just take the usual care when venturing through. There are also a number of private cabins and cabanas that one can find. Some are for rent, some free to use, and some already occupied so be sure to knock!
Strangely enough, small and rare flower patches of Ethereal Emberblooms also appear on the island. Odd because the flowers themselves should only be able to survive on Elah. So, how did they get here? Sadly, they will wither and die by the end of the month.

🐤 Bird watching. Like many tropical islands, Latrommi is home to hundreds of exotic bird species. They are colorful as they are magnificent and range from common sights to rarer species like the Golden Seagull. Anyone savvy to bird watching can pick up a sticker book and try to mark off and collect each one. Some say if one is able to spot the Rainbow Huma Bird, one of the legendary guardians of the island, they will be granted a month’s worth of luck and love.
🐗 Some beasties. The island is home to several land and water creatures that aren’t found on other islands or leviathans as well. People are welcome to try their hand at capturing a cute blanket octopus that will snuggly wrap around their body, fish up a blood-sucking vampire squid that is apparently a tasty delicacy, or fight off some aggressive goblin sharks. Or take a crack at hunting down one of the many wild boars in the area that have massive tusks as sharp as swords.
⛲ Beauty pools. Various pools of water are scattered all over the island that seem to have a healing property to them. Many of them will rejuvenate skin or energize the body after a nice long soak. Anyone who takes a dip will feel smooth and hydrated after a swim in one of the many mineral pools or exfoliated and fresh after a soak in one of the mud baths too. Soak it up!
🐚 Hidden cove. Scattered around the island are small, hidden coves just waiting to be uncovered. They haven’t been explored in years so they could be rich in old treasures to find. Go digging and find ancient coins, rare shiny seashells or a hidden cache of special pirate’s rum. Some might even have buried gemstones that can be found. Or maybe a fancy relic or two?
🐴 Male seahorses. In this world, seahorses are horses that can be ridden like mounts in the sea. Around this time of the year, the male seahorses that have given birth to their babies have now migrated to Latrommi to grow and thrive. The waters are littered with hundreds of baby seahorses that can be played with in the ocean water. Play with them or teach them to become rideable mounts themselves. Or just give them snacks of shrimp and fish.

FYRE FESTIVAL
Ever since the first sighting, Latrommi hosts the Fyre Festival every June, an event in tribute to their patron and mythical bird, the quetzal, Eternia. It is said that he will bless any marriage on this island, and anyone who sees the end of the Festival with a feather in their hand will be gifted by Eternia with eternal love and a happy family. That is what makes June the most popular month for weddings, and couples—both human and even inter-species!— from far and wide visit Latrommi not only to celebrate, but to wed with the hopes that Eternia will smile down upon their union.
The festival boasts all kinds of activities to try out with a friend or even a loved one, with different food stalls available to try out the local delicacies. Be careful, the Latrommians love their food spicy! There is also beer and grog available along the beaches and in many of the seaside taverns.
To kick off the festivities this year, the people of Latrommi are putting on a stage play about a recent tale of love and betrayal that has been going around, based on the newest hit that all the bards are singing across the land: Tempest Hearts. It is a story of two lovers, Karura, the Queen of Harpies and Indra, the Lord of Lightning who have recently had a bit of a spat, and their fight has taken them out to sea where they create violent storms.
In the world where the sky meets the sea,
A love once prospered, fiery and free.
Karura, Queen of Wind and Flight,
And Indra, Lord of Lightning's might.
So in love, she would grow wings,
With every kiss, the winds would sing.
But whispers of betrayal spread,
Karura’s heart was filled with dread.
Indra, with a heart so true,
His love like thunder, a spark that grew.
He sought to shield her from the fray,
But fate’s cruel hand pushed her away.
Over the ocean, a fight so fierce,
The skies do roar, the seas do pierce.
Karura’s tears in stormy squalls,
Indra’s fury, thunder calls.
Misunderstood, his noble quest,
To guard his love, his very best.
But wounds of doubt and sorrow deep,
Turned love to storms that do not sleep.
Yet truth was found within the stars,
Their hearts began to heal the scars,
Karura saw his love so pure,
And Indra’s heart, she did secure.
Oh, tempest hearts, once torn apart,
Now healed by love, a brand new start.
Across the ocean’s endless blue,
Their journey ends in love renewed.
Their hands entwined, the storm did cease,
A love reborn, their souls at peace.
Begone the wind and lightning's feud,
Their love now calm, forever true.
So sail the seas, oh mariners brave,
For now the winds and waves behave.
In skies once stormy, clear and bright,
Rest Karura and Indra, in love's flight.
Throughout the festival, those with acting chops may be asked to take to the stage and act out their rendition of this story, and improvisation is more than encouraged! Take on the role of Karura or Indra and help spin this tale of betrayal and love renewed with a partner.
Like many festivals, there is a plethora of music and dance to participate in. Grab a partner and dance the night away, or participate in a dance partner swap where everyone is swapped with a random dance partner they might have never met before. There is also ribbon dancing where partners are tied together using a long red ribbon. Once they are all tangled up the ribbon will only completely loosen and untie once the pair manages to share a kiss on the mouth or the cheek, or if they confess a special thought to one another. Finally, for those who want something a little more exciting, fire dancing is a traditional dance where dancers take up long staves that are lit on both ends with torch-fire. Use these staves to dance and move to the music, creating an intricate glow of firelight in the night.

🦚 Feather exchange. When the festival begins, all festival goers are given a single blue feather. This feather is meant to signify a bond between two people when given to someone else. By the end of the festival, give this feather to another person to express that they mean something special, either platonically or romantically. Just remember, each participant is only given one blue feather to give to someone else.
💍 Wedding/Couples rings. Whether looking for something nice or needing them for a wedding, there is a current special on matching rings for couples! However, little do people know, they have been enchanted to fuse together, forcing people to hold hands. The only way to get them off? Exchange heartfelt vows to one another.
💥 Coal walking. One of the many challenges during the festival is barefooted coal walking! Resist the heat and walk across a bed of hot coals, and even try partnering up with someone to see how fast the challenge can be completed together. Alternatively, races are encouraged! No cheating with special abilities allowed!
👗 Corset competition. Any pirate worth their salt knows how to fashion and wear a corset. This year, there is a little competition to see who can tie a corset the tightest and wear it the longest without passing out. They can be tied solo or around a partner. Get those strings pulled and cinch in those ribs. Just don’t forget to breathe. Alternatively, those who have survived the corset tying competition could try the corset untying competition too. People are now challenged to get them off as fast as possible. No tools or tricks are allowed to be used. Only hands, toes and mouth. Animal folk are more than welcome to use their claws too.
🍰 Cake eating. There is a cake-eating contest to see who can eat the most cake, but with a twist! Partners must feed each other cake at the same time, so pair up and see who can eat more to win! Or just enjoy eating the free cake with someone.
🐦Hot ones. Sit down with a partner for this test on the stomach. The challenge is to eat a massive plate of spicy hot wings! The catch is that each time their partner is to eat an increasingly spicier hot wing, they must answer a question about themselves first. Ask a question, eat more spicy hot wings, and see who can last the longest without crying or dying for a mug of milk.

WEDDING WRECKERS
ALL PROMPTS IN THIS SECTION ARE WORTH 4 PTS.
While Latrommi wishes everyone their beautiful "happily ever after," there are those who wish the opposite, either jealous of those who manage to find their happiness or just revel in the chaos and thrill of ruining the lives of others. Thus wedding crashers have always been a problem, leading to increased security over the years.
However, this year there is a group called Captain Salt's Lonely Hearts Crew that has gone beyond simple disruption to outright bride and groom kidnapping. Some are done for ransom, others have a personal vendetta towards the couples. So far all victims have been rescued unharmed, but there is a fear that things could turn for the worst. Already there have been reported murders and attacks on those suspected of having affairs or adultery on their loved ones, and Captain Salt's crew is high on the list of suspects.
Various operations are underway to try and undermine the group as well as find the ringleaders and put a stop to it once and for all. This will require as much help from both Paladins and Corsairs as possible. However, there is tension between the two groups as Paladins suspect the Corsairs for the more heinous crimes while Corsairs counter this smells like something an overzealous justice loving Paladin would do.
IMPORTANT NOTE: while the prompts are written in the perspective of people helping save the victims, it is possible for characters to deliberately cause chaos. Whether they are for the Lonely Hearts Crew's cause or just want to mess with people, they can serve as antagonists for the prompts instead instead.
Those looking into the murders will also be tasked in finding and recovering missing bodies, though this will not be for the faint of heart. Some clearly were personal and quite gruesome. As for any bases or hideouts used for the kidnappings, once found permission is granted to destroy whatever is there and bring in all members. There are many of them, with clues to where Captain Salt's location is… However, Captain Salt will remain elusive for a time. For now, any clues to who and where Captain Salt could possibly go will be collected (player submission).
While Latrommi wishes everyone their beautiful "happily ever after," there are those who wish the opposite, either jealous of those who manage to find their happiness or just revel in the chaos and thrill of ruining the lives of others. Thus wedding crashers have always been a problem, leading to increased security over the years.

OPERATION: FAKE WEDDING. To try and capture those involved, volunteers are asked to either switch with real, targeted couples or host elaborate fake weddings. Some may have both individuals or only have one replaced with a fake. All replacements will try to look as close to the original as possible, but to help with the brides, they will have long, thick veils to help obscure their faces. For fake grooms, they will have hats or temporary magical glamor. Those who wish to act as security will also be disguised as attending guests or staff.
👗 Dress your best. Of course, no one will be getting through this without dressing their absolute best. While the tailors would prefer if the outfits are not destroyed, they see this as an advertisement opportunity and will dress volunteers into their dream dress or suit. No one will leave until they say "yes" to that dress!
🍰 Surprise cake. One "hiding" spot a guard may try to use is a fake wedding cake. Hidden in a large box disguised as an elaborate six-tiered wedding cake, it's the perfect place to spring out the moment trouble arrives. Just be careful because some may be fooled and try to take a stab for a slice.
💐 Flower toss. The flowers are enchanted to burst into different colored paint to help mark disruptors should they be jostled or knocked over. …And anyone else for that matter. No one said this was the best idea.
⚔️ Vicious engagements. Once the would-be wedding crashers and kidnappers appear, the silk gloves are off and weapons are out! Try and capture as many as possible to be taken in for interrogation.

⚔️ Vicious engagements. Once the would-be wedding crashers and kidnappers appear, the silk gloves are off and weapons are out! Try and capture as many as possible to be taken in for interrogation.
OPERATION: RESCUE. While it's ideal to stop anyone from getting kidnapped at all, there are some who are assigned to be deliberately taken. In this situation, the kidnapped will have a small, special feather attached to their outfit in some way that can be released to discreetly fly off and release an "SOS" flare of sorts. Just be careful as they will be taken deep into the surrounding forest, sometimes even as far as the mountains or out to sea…
🔍 Follow the signal. Upon seeing the flare, volunteers of the rescue group must now venture through the island and find the target location. Upon reaching the location, it's time to clear out the villains and capture them to return for proper punishments. However…
⁉️ Rescued affair!? Some of these acts of bride- or groomnapping is actually a twisted gesture of "romance" from the kidnapper, wishing to steal them away either to save them from an undesired marriage or a one last desperate attempt to win them over. Some are genuine with pure feelings and revelations of marriage, the victim wishing to flee with their secret lover. Others are clearly mad and the victim wants nothing to do with them. Perhaps there's an even bigger story. Will the rescuers help? Or stick with the job?
🏃 Escape. Forget waiting to be rescued, if it's possible to break out and deal with the kidnappers and escape, there's no one to stop them. Maybe there are other victims from previous kidnappings there that need help or could assist.

OPERATION: INFILTRATION. For those who want to try their hand and infiltrate Captain Salt's Lonely Crew, then they must somehow convince the members they want in. Or just volunteer like a mercenary and be paid for it. All they have to do is express disgust or anger towards weddings and they're pretty much in. A sob story filled with heartbreak will do, too. Note: these prompts can tie in to the other sections.
🗡️ Affair most foul. Rather than crash weddings, some are assigned to attack, even kill certain individuals who are said to be committing affairs or adultery. The problem is there is little evidence to prove it and the descriptions of the targets are vague at best. This results in mistaken identities. (Player options are 1) commit to the assignment and attack the target; 2) try and save the target; 3) be mistaken as the target.)
🎻 Bad Boy/Girl Band. One group uses enchanted instruments to either freeze or put everyone to sleep. Destroy the instruments without giving away their true identity.
🥷 "Kidnapping." Knowing the intended target, those who have infiltrated the group can try and reach the target first and prevent them from being taken.
🛑 Words of persuasion. Perhaps the salty crew members can be persuaded away from crashing a wedding. Is the one leading the crash someone whose heart was broken by one of the couples? Do they have a personal vendetta? Or is there another story here?

QUESTS
The current MANTA Board is available, but we have a couple of additional quests that are specific for the event! Teaming up is of course encouraged, no matter what the affiliation. You can assume they acquired some kind of ship for the quests out at sea, either the starter ship or some other ship heading out there. All quests will be worth 4 points.
The Crow's Nest, a group of local corsairs working out of Eltrut, is planning a unique get-together where everyone dresses up as crows by wearing all black and bringing their best shiny trinkets to the mini event. Inspired by a local folklore hero—a crow version of Robin Hood—the event will honor the person with the best shiny trinket with the title of Crow Hero. Gather together with other crows and trade shiny trinkets to your heart's desire. While there can be multiple winners of who has the best shiny trinkets, only the person with the shiniest items of all can be the Crow Hero. Feel free to play puzzle games and card games with other local crows as well, it's all about meeting with the locals.
The sacabambaspis fish is very popular in and around all the islands and leviathans. Lately, it appears someone has been making a mass amount of sacabambaspis merchandise including mugs, keychains, stuffed plush toys and painted posters of the strange-looking fish. But someone has also put up several paper posters of a very muscular and beefy looking sacabambaspis man all over the place which has deterred the fish's popularity (or in some cases made it more "popular" with certain groups of people with certain tastes...). Help the shopkeepers by taking down the buff-looking posters of the sacabambaspis man so that the sacabambaspis fish can retain its wholesome image. Unfortunately, the more posters you take down, the more get put up but... Do your best anyway.
Hasn't anyone ever told you not to lick toads and frogs? There's a strange trend going around Naughtilust where brothel goers have started to lick special frogs for the delightful little buzz it gives the licker. Licking these special frogs tastes like candy but the happy and hallucinogenic effects that come from licking the frogs is what everyone is after. If you lick a frog you might feel like rocks are popping in your mouth or you'll be able to see colors start to change or swap. Most importantly, it makes the licker feel so, so happy. So happy that you could kiss anyone! Dance with anyone! Strip off your clothes and jump in the ocean! Anyone on Naughtilust is more than welcome to try licking frogs to see what will happen to them. It'll only cost you a small amount of coins to do it.

Fyre Festival
Whoa...these are really nice! I kinda wanna get one. Never know when a fun mask could come in handy!
no subject
They put a lot of work into them, you can tell. I’ve never really worn masks much, doesn’t it get kinda stuffy?
[ Breathing happens obviously, but also the humidity! ]
no subject
[As a blacksmith, Darin's got an eye for quality and craftsmanship. He rubs his chin in thought.]
Back home, people would wear masks of their favorite monsters and whatnot. A popular game among the kids in my hometown was "Monster Battle." They'd all pick a monster mask and then they'd fight to be 'Top Monster.'
...Not real fighting, but you know how kids get.
[He says 'They' because he never participated. But he always wanted to!]
no subject
[ The kids did come up with all sorts of games on their own, they definitely got creative. She can picture them chasing each other with the masks even now. ]
I’ve always wondered how masks like these were made, have you ever done it?

shipdash anyone??even though there are people out and about having fun.That's what Cloud is doing, delivery being dropped off at a vendor that had wanted a meal when he catches sight of familiar pink. Would it really be Aerith if she doesn't tease even a stranger while also somehow succeeding in scolding them? Probably not.
Cloud hasn't pushed his sunglasses up yet, but he is making his way over. ]
Could just tell him you're not interested.
no subject
The man puts his hands up and backs off, taking advantage of the pause. Aerith shakes her head, huffing a laugh. Please, Cloud, she wouldn’t steal your catchphrase. ]
That doesn’t always work with the pushy ones. [ Yes, she’s included in that group. How did he sneak up on her? He can be way too good at that. ] Where’d you come from?
no subject
His lip quirks when Aerith speaks. Yeah, the pushy ones don't always take "no" for an answer. So Cloud knows from experience. ]
Was nearby and saw you. I can head back if you want.
[ He kind of already knows the answer to that. ]

beach episode ⛱️
He's wandering around the boardwalks too with his classic black and orange swim trunks on. At some point, some nice old lady deposited a wide-brimmed straw hat on his head too and he's way too nice to take it off. He's got a coconut with a straw sticking out of it in one hand, too.
Seeing Aerith there bargaining with some weirdo has Zack's normal bodyguard tendencies kicking in, beachwear or not. He comes over and crosses one arm while holding the coconut with his other hand.]
He bothering you, Aerith? Need me to take out the trash?
[Yeah, real intimidating, beach man with the coconut juice.]
no subject
Where did he get that coconut? ]
Ah, no I think he learned his lesson. [ She gives the man a firm nod, a strong finish that has him shaking his head and mumbling off. Okay, maybe she was being a little too much on him but maybe next time he’ll do a better pitch.
Turning to Zack, she gestures at him just - up and down, twirling a hand around her head. ]
This happened fast! I haven’t even managed a swimsuit yet.
no subject
Luckily that guy decides to leave her alone and Zack is happy for it. They don't need any harassers today. This island is full of blue skies and sunshine. And ... He hopes Aerith is dealing with that in her own way.]
The beach life can hit you that hard, I guess. [He grins a bit.] There's a lot of time to get beach ready, though. Are you thinking about hitting the sand?

001
There is a familiar person in the crowd, and Yuffie directs her chocobo towards Aerith. ]
Aerith! Over here!
[ The teen waves enthusiastically, as if the large bird and yelling wasn't enough. ]
no subject
Skirting around the people in the crowd, she comes to a stop right in front of the bird, reaching out to run her fingers over the feathers of its face. Just a little cute piece of home, that’s all. ]
How about that, you two came together?
no subject
Safaia bends his head to greet Aerith. ]
Yep! Arrived about an hour ago. Long enough to pick up my stuff.
[ The teen takes in Aerith's appearance, which just look odd on her. ]
Want a ride to find your belongings? I'm great at finding treasure chests.

beach epi!
She's hidden behind a long sarong that she holds up in front of her, frowning at the overly bright and vibrant colours, and it's as she lowers it that she spots a familiar braid of brown hair.
For Tifa, it hasn't been that long since she's seen Aerith—a couple months, if that, so it's instantly recognizable as she tiptoes up from behind her.
She's really back...? Her heart practically flutters right out of her chest with excitement.]
'Scuse me ma'am, can I help you find something?
no subject
She knows that voice - spinning around, there's Tifa. Right in the middle of the world's most vibrant swimsuit store. The relief she feels is immediate. Tifa's not the first of her friends she's come across, but that doesn't stop her from reliving the same little wash of reassurance that she isn't just here alone. ]
You're here! [ She can't help herself, reaching forward to grasp Tifa's hands. The connection is welcome on her part, she doesn't even pause as she starts to talk. ] I'm so glad, I can't believe this place is real. I really wondered if I was going crazy when I got here, but no! This is all apparently very normal around here.
[ 'This' being everything - the large turtle that has a city on it. The ships sailing through the water. Having her stuff in a random buried treasure chest?? It's been confusing, exciting, and overwhelming all at once. ]
no subject
It's a lot, I know.
[Too much, honestly. She always did hate the way that their belongings were just shoved into a treasure chest and sent off somewhere...]
But it is... normal. [About as normal as it can get in a world like this one, that is, is what her tone and that cant of her head suggests.] Have you run into the others yet?

we can probably wrap/handwave the rest? 💜
sounds perfect to me!
slides in with toast in my mouth number foUR
In particular, Reno hadn't long excused himself from a cake eating contest, and was in fact on his way back to his own room with the leftovers when he happened upon an extremely familiar, be-ribboned brunette. ]
No shit..
[ His brows raised as he muttered under his breath to himself. Naturally, he instead cut a bee-line to Aerith, though he was rather mindful not to invade any bubbles of personal space, in case she was from some point in the past as well, much like a few of the others were. ]
Flower girl, long time no see, yo.
[ He was just a Turk with a plate of cake in one hand. ]
pats u & steals ur toast
Cake notwithstanding - which is an odd thing to notice on her part, she knows. Aerith raises her eyebrows as she takes him in, then glances over in the direction of the contest area where there's currently a hot dog eating round going on. ]
Long time, huh? I did just see you a few days ago but... [ She knows Time is Wonky and other such things. Also last time they saw each other wasn't exactly the friendliest of times - she's happy enough to not mention that part, it's worlds away from now. Him, holding cake. Her, wondering how many cakes he ate. ] You definitely didn't have a cake with you then, did you eat most of that?
[ He's so skinny and full to bursting with energy she wouldn't be shocked if he had five stomachs tbh. ]
no subject
He had no need here to bother with antagonizing her--quite the opposite actually(but he wasn't going to go around blabbering about Veld and Tseng's business). Nor did he seem too surprised by the revelation that she'd seen him a few days ago. ]
A few days ago, huh..? Where at? Just trying to get a story straightened out here, since Tifa's telling me and Cloud she never saw us at Gongaga. [ He had so many. A metabolism like his could absolutely demolish calories. He probably does have five stomachs. ]
Nah, I only ever got the one pizza party out of the Chief. No cakes...you know how the guy is.
[ A vulpine grin. It was just nice seeing her again, the brat that she was. ]
Too bad, you almost made it in time to smash cake into someone's mouth. Cloud's around here somewhere if you wanna see how many hotwings you two can pack away, though.
[ Followed by a taunting shrug. ]

BEEEEECH
She wouldn't dare tell anyone she was enjoying herself. But she was. Things have been looking up for her, despite the talk about "love" and sleezy salespeople. In the distance she saw-!!
It's. Aerith. Someone who she thought was gone and she was back? Or did she not leave and still had that silence curse? And look at her using the universe's sweetest sass as usual. Daria was able to somewhat appreciate the weirdness, and the chaos it brought. It took her a moment. She couldn't quite know how to react to the chaotic kindness she had. But, she was welcome company.
And a dude was bothering her. Hrm. Black swimsuit with black lace cover up, large sunhat, and iced coffee equipped, she walked on over with her bad self.]
You heard her. Where's your salesman charm? Or do you have to pay interest for respect and personal space?
no subject
The man sees there is no winning here - ain't nobody got time for his fake timeshare - and he throws his hands up and moves on. Aerith turns to her new companion, flashing her a smile. ]
Looks like he learned his lesson. I might have gone a little overboard. [ She laughs a little, mostly at herself. It's simply too pretty out here to be bothered by a shady salesman. ] Oh, your hats really cute!
no subject
[She didn't suspect anything yet. She put her small hand on her hat. Daria, even though she's out of high school by a good amount of years...she still didn't know how to react to people complimenting her looks in any way.]
Uh, thanks. It was this or risk of becoming a lobster special.

fyre festival!
He laughs warmly as they find themselves in front of a stall boasting especially spicy offerings, and grins broadly at his new festival companion, raising a brow in challenge.]
Well, what do you say? Are we feeling particularly brave?
[He really didn't need to ask, he's sure. It seems like there isn't much that would deter this one!
(festival fit check!)]
no subject
She's not gonna complain.
Anyway, it's natural to her, strong arming someone into going along with a whim. Gale was in the right place at the right time when the whim took her - thankfully, he's happy to go along. Looks like she picked a pretty good companion for this little adventure.
Food always brings people together. Aerith's tapping a finger to her chin as she takes in the stall they're looking at, wondering if she's got the fortitude to take on spicy. ]
Why not. What's the worst that could happen? [ Says the woman who's never watched Hot Ones before. And usually that sort of question ends in a Bad Time in her experience, so there's a little wince on her part. ] Forget I said that. Let's go!
