November Test Drive is here!

Tag into this post with characters you're thinking of apping to the game (characters who are not currently in-game or currently reserved by someone else). It can be just a tag, a brief EP, whatever you want. You can be new to the game, or simply want to test out a fresh pup. Tag each other with these characters or those already in game, and have fun.

"Right. Darrow." Bellara frowns to herself, her nose crinkling as she struggles to sift through her thoughts. Coming too fast, like they always do. "Well, it looks... Well, it doesn't look like anything I've ever seen! This architecture! Maybe dwarven? I haven't seen much dwarven architecture... Harding might know. 'Darrow' doesn't sound elven, but I don't think it sounds dwarven either... Sorry. Also the why. And the how. Those are good questions too."

Maybe she ought to leave the questions to the investigator. None of the questions are puzzles yet; there's no known pieces and they can't be solved. Nothing for her to fix.

But she has to stay calm. Neve can probably handle this on her own — can probably handle anything on her own — but she can at least help by staying calm.

"Do you remember... Was it magic? Did someone... do something to us, or...?" None of that sounds right to her. She remembers having a hard time falling asleep. Maybe she did fall asleep. "Oh, maybe this is a dream!" she says excitedly before the rest catches up to her. "Wait. No. That doesn't make sense. Sorry. I didn't mean to imply you were just... a part of my dream."

In spite of their situation, Neve smiles. This early in the investigation, there's no such thing as a wrong theory. Count on Bel to worry about offending her with one that, even as Neve considers it, doesn't seem so far-fetched.

"We live in the realm of dreams," she reminds. "This could be another corner of it." But no, that isn't right, is it? It doesn't feel like the Fade, and when she flexes her fingers to reach for her magic, the Fade itself feels... farther away.

"I don't think it's magic," she adds. "At least not any magic I've ever felt. An artifact, maybe? Your gauntlet, it resonates with artifacts, doesn't it? Can you pick anything up with it? Remnants, maybe?"
