Knights of Legend | Test Drive Meme

[wynn]

Interested in playing at Knights of Legend but want to get a feel for the players/characters/world? Already in the game but want to clown around with other muses to see how they would fit here? Now's your chance!

The setting is our world... but all the legends are real, because magic has spilled over the centuries from a Dungeons & Dragons fantasy dimension called the Shadow World into the modern one. If you have a canon character, they too have spilled over through cracks between dimensions - and remember little to nothing of their past lives, except in some rare cases. How much they remember is entirely up to you! Canon characters can either have recently arrived in this world, or already be settled and accustomed to it. Original characters are natives of either this modern+magic dimension, or from the Shadow World - in which case, they too lost memories on their journey here.

Either way, your characters have joined up with the Knights of the Silver Dragon: a large secret organization dedicated to protecting this world against the evil creatures arriving from other dimensions - and protecting the innocent dimensional travelers from cultural misunderstandings and prejudice that they face here.

Compiled from various memes at bakerstreet . Deal with it.

How it works:
1. Post as your character with Name | Canon if applicable in the subject line. You can choose the scene and prompt yourself or leave it blank for others to decide. Current players can make threads too, if you'd rather tag them!
2. Others respond to your prompt or after going to RNG and entering numbers 1- 15 for a prompt.  
3. Respond and play it out!
4. Part of the fun of KOL is using dice rolls to determine success or failure of actions taken! For the purpose of this meme, don't worry about having a character sheet or stats for your character - if the GM or a fellow player asks you to make a roll to determine something, simply randomize out of 20 and compare it to the number they give you to see if your character succeeds or fails!
5. Play nice. If someone doesn't want to play something out, respect their wishes.

You may use threads from this meme for your application samples!

1. Arrival; Your character wandered into some mysterious mist in their homeworld... and abruptly finds themselves in some part of our modern world, with either all, most, some, or none of their memories missing! Play out their confused first steps in this new world. Get creative about where and what they arrived in the middle of! Many people end up using this TDM as canon or partial canon to their post-Veil history!  As long as you get the consent of those you're threading with, that's perfectly fine. :)

2. Popo Shut Us Down; Oh crap, get to the getaway car! You may be innocent or have actually broken the law, but either way, you've got to escape those sirens because the cops don't know or care that you've got a license to kill and now you're wanted. Car, boat, chopper, whatever you want, just flee the scene together and fast!

3. The Floor is Lava; When spells go very wrong (or right?), sometimes childhood games aren't so funny... or imaginary.

4. Trapped in an Elevator;  Bad luck or part of a villainous trap?

5. Roadtrip; You and the other character are on a mission together but it involves some travel.  How will you handle life on the road together?

6. Trapped! One of the characters is trapped, whether behind bars or an unbreakable glass. Drama and/or epic breakouts ensue.

7. Apocalyptica. It's the end of the world!!11 Evil mages, horrible cults, the tarrasque, world war iii, you choose. The world needs some heroes, so maybe you should get on that.

8. Attack of the Killer Tomatoes:  Whether mad science gone wrong, or dangerous magic, now there are people-sized tomatoes terrorizing the town.  Someone better do something about that.

9. Critical Failure. There's failure, and then there's critical failure - the result of rolling a one on your d20. This is an epic level of fail often reserved for slapstick comedy, but sometimes having really horrible consequences. You just set fire to the book you were attempting to do research with. You just tripped and fell face first into a moat full of crocodiles. Here's a solid example.

10. Weapon Training! The Knights handed you a gun - and gave you access to a massive armory full of every kind of medieval and modern weapon you can imagine. Make use of the combat rooms and get in some sparring time!

11. Handcuffed Together; You've fallen prey to a set of cursed handcuffs, and now you and the other character are inseparable!  Literally...

12. Savior; you've been tasked to save this person, no matter the cost. Maybe they're a stranger, maybe they're your closest friend, even your greatest enemy, but you have to save them. From who or what is up to you!

13. C-c-c-cellmates. Man, getting kidnapped stinks. Break out?

14. Texts From Last Night; Either go to tfln, and select one, or make up one of your own!

15. Shot By Your Teammate; In the heat of battle, accidents happen... and the other character just shot you. At least you think it was an accident. Dun dun dun.

16. Attack the Darkness; A classic dungeon crawl scenario! Never split the party as you make your way through a dungeon full of monsters and traps, looking for some kind of treasure.

17. Passive Aggressive Post-It Notes; Living with your fellow Knights 24/7, whether at the castle, or in close quarters on a mission, means you're going to get on each other's nerves sometimes. One or both of you is leaving passive aggressive post-it's for the other. Either respond in only post-it's back and forth, or roleplay out a confrontation once the notes get out of hand! Feel free to use the Post It Note Generator if you so choose!

18. Awkward Brunch; You've all seen plenty of these scenes before. There are tons of situations that can make things ~awkward~ between two people. And now you have to have brunch together. Uncomfortably pull through.

19. Fashion Show; Joining the Knights means getting a fancy suit of chainmail armor in blue and silver to wear for your Knighting ceremony. It weighs a ton and is awkward as fuck 8D You and the other character are trying them on for the first time together.

20. Another Goddamn Squiring Party:  Squiring parties are exciting!  Until you've been to a hundred of them.. Maybe this one will get spiced up with some drunken shenanigans???

[ big ass samoan druid chef. done a little bit of everything, especially if it's blue collar. spent awhile ripping down forests and digging up the ocean, so now it's time to pay back. don't step on any of his little buddies and maybe he'll whip you up a four-course with dessert. ]

[It's brunch! But not that awkward. Actually it will be brunch once Mak and Jade finish making it. And that brunch might be awkward for other people so the prompt is still valid okay.]

I still say cupcakes are a perfectly acceptable brunch option.

[Jade calls out over her shoulder to him in a song-song sort of voice as she mixes up some pancake batter.]

[mashterchef]

You know, I'm a little concerned for you, li'l mama.

[ his baritone answers her light sing-song over the sounds of mixing and cracking eggs. poaching eggs ain't nobody's business but mak's. plunk! plunk! plunk! ]

Thinking you need a cupcake intervention...

[inacup]

You say that now, but you haven't tasted my blueberry buttercream frosting.

[She smiles sweetly at him before mixing in some chocolate chips into the batter. Girl has a chocolate problem, for real. But it's like super good, expensive chocolate so you're welcome, brunch people.]

[mashterchef]

The strawberry-mango's the only reason I'm not tossing your cute ass outta this kitchen.

[ it is not. he's never letting you out of his kitchen if he can help it. but his scowl is probably not all that convincing. ]

[inacup]

Uh huh... [She says with a little half smile and a small roll of her eyes.]

You might fool the others with the tough guy act, but I know better. Now, scoot over. I need the griddle.

[Bringing her mixing bowl over, she bumps her hip against him to make room for her.]

[mashterchef]

[ grumble grumble grumble-- but he lumbers away, swiveling to the other side of the island. ]

Starting to think you're trying to sabotage my eggs, here...

[ he is watchin u lil witch ]

[morethanasidekick]

[What says crit fail quite like walking backwards through the hall while chatting on the phone and then turning around just in time to walk smack bang into the chest of a giant Samoan man who could probably pick you up with one hand like it aint no thing...

No, you're right. It's falling flat on your ass right afterwards and said phone skidding across the floor as you find yourself staring at the ceiling in a daze.]

Owwwww.

[mashterchef]

[ the little pomeranian that follows mak around everywhere thinks this is the best thing ever. in ever ever.

that is why she's practically on top of kenzi as soon as she hits the deck, tail wagging and nose sniffing away. hopefully kenzi doesn't mind plenty of dog kisses. contrasting little pickles' nonstop movement is mak, still stood there like a mountain, arms crossed over his broad chest. ]

You all right there, Sir Malikov?

[morethanasidekick]

I - [It takes her a moment to fully register what just happened, her vision being obscured immediately by an excitable ball of orange fur.

Spluttering as Pickles goes for her mouth.]

Pah - pfft. spth. Oh god - Why am I being French kissed by Fizzgig?!

[mashterchef]

Pickles. I think she likes you.

[ her interest diverts over to where kenzi's phone had flown off to, and mak's hand appears before her. ]

You make it a habit to not watch where you're going?

[morethanasidekick]

[With a groan, Kenzi takes Mak's hand with both of hers, her recent canoodle with the floor pushing her hair out to awkward angles.]

Yes. [A beat.] Though in my defense? I'm used to walls that don't move.

[mashterchef]

Fair point.

[ he makes short work of getting kenzi back to her feet. warm, worn hands dwarf her own in what might be a surprisingly gentle grip. pickles growls to the side, scratching until she becomes a successful retriever. ]

C'mere, ya gremlin.

[ delivery for sir malikov: please sign here for your slightly drooly mobile phone back? ]

Oh fokk. [ riley swears as the elevator lurches to a stop and plunges into darkness for a moment before the emergency lights flicker on. lifting her hands she tugs her headphones free, letting them circle around her neck as she instinctively moves forward to press one of the floor buttons like that will suddenly make the elevator move again. not surprisingly, riley in unsuccessful.

title of riley's autobiography, honestly.

brb just going to gently press herself into the corner and try to appear small, which isn't hard in comparison to the actual giant in the elevator with her. she rifles around in her bag to find her ipod and turn down her music so it isn't so loud between them. ]

[mashterchef]

[ the actual giant across the elevator grumbles and lets his head thunk back against the wall. outwardly, he projects the epitome of calm. ]

Hey uh, actually-- could you turn that back up?

[ inwardly might possibly be a very different story. ]

[nordlys]

[ her eyes dart up from the floor, forehead wrinkled at the request. she also immediately gives in to it though a brief silence falls as it skips to the next song, french electronic beats and scandinavian vocals. some of her own tension drifts away as the sound rises. ]

Claustrophobia? [ said in her TOTALLY NOT WEIRD AT ALL ACCENT, DIEGO IS A HACk. your accent would be weird if you were icelandic and moved to london, too. diego's just lucky he called her hot tbh. anyway, moving on, she seems innocently curious. ]

[mashterchef]

[ he breathes a little easier once the music starts up again but hey now there's an awkward pause. what is this girl trying to ask him... ]

Sorry?

[nordlys]

Are you claustrophobic? [ it seems like a natural guess, considering they're... trapped in a relatively small space. oh, maybe he doesn't know what it means. ] Afraid of small spaces?

[mashterchef]

Ah. Yeah, sorta-- mostly just elevators. Bad time on an oil rig back in the day...

[ he shrugs it off. thinking of the incident doesn't make it worse, but not everyone wants to hear about a big grumpy guy's old times. ]

Hey, you got a signal on that thing?

[ aww buddy that's an ipod, not a phone... ]

/makes up own scenario because i do what i want

[bredinthebone]

[So the suckiest thing about Ramadan on this particular year is that it happens to be taking place in the summer months. Fasting during the summer almost makes Malina want to murder someone but thankfully it's coming to the end of the day, merely a few precious moments away from sunset, and her tiny little 5'3" self is going to wander over to what Makeo is cooking and take a deep breath.]

God, that smells delicious.

it's beautiful!!!

[mashterchef]

Hey-- Ramadan Mubarak, mama! just give me fifteen and you can stuff your face all you like.

[ he's bending down to pull open the oven to put in a tray of veggie kebabs alongside the lamb already roasting, blue apron tied neatly around his waist, and a pronounced lack of mits as he rotates the lamb. ]

Is it too tempting if I ask you to give that hushwee a stir?

[bredinthebone]

[With a truly masterful will save (will save 28), Malina shakes her head as she goes to move to the stir the pot. There's a few more minutes left. She can totally last that long.]

My grandmother usually stuck with traditional Iranian dishes but down the street from us there was a Lebanese family that went to our mosque and their house always used to smell just like this.

[mashterchef]

[ that makes him beam: mak had wanted to surprise his favorite tiny sorcerer with a little piece of home. he knows what he's researching over the next few days, now, too. ]

You know, I do take requests. In fact, it's literally what I'm here for.

[ the oven closes back up, and he meets malina at the counter with a bowl of grape leaves, barely looking at he scoops up just the right amount of filling for each one. this is a meal mak's made many times, and this was his favorite part of the recipe. ]

[bredinthebone]

[She smiles a bit at that, before shrugging.]

Yeah, but it takes some of the surprise out of it if I know what you're going to make me all the time.

[mashterchef]

Ah, a woman with a sense of adventure! Don't you go breaking my heart, Mal...

[ still rolling the bitty cigars of deliciousness, he chats without looking up. ]

Speaking of, you got any tales of excitement to regale me with over dinner?
