TEST DRIVE MEME Welcome to the Test Drive Meme! Whether you're considering joining paradisa for the first time or you just want to test out a new muse, this is the place to do it. Only character journals allowed, please! Feel free to have your character roam any of the castle's rooms, grounds locations, or City Royale. Thanks for your interest, and have fun! Premise: You wake up in a giant, magical castle. Everything is beautiful and the castle grants material wishes. It also provides a magic journal to every resident that allows everyone to communicate with each other like a two-way radio.

[unmanned]

A hero at such a young age.

[A few step closer, and James plucks a pretty little shell up and offers it to the girl.]

You out here all by your lonesome?

[toyboat]

[She takes the shell with a sheepish grin, holding it with both hands to her chest.]

I think probably my father is around somewhere. We were sailing, and I fell asleep, and we must have stopped on this island. He said he should like to take care of me, though, and so he must be watching.

[unmanned]

[James is fairly sure of the answer to this next question. Something about this girl is familiar, eerily so.]

What's your father's name, lass?

[toyboat]

Edward Kenway. He has a ship, it's called The Jackdaw. That's how we came here.

[Jenny delicately places the shell in her pocket, then curtsies.]

And I'm Jenny Scott.

[unmanned]

[And there it is. Edward's little girl that he misses so dearly. All that he has left of his Caroline.

James gives a playful little bow in return, using the few extra moments to figure out what to do with this.]

James Kidd. Friend of your father's. He's told me much about you, little one.

[toyboat]

Has he? I don't remember you on the ship, is that where he talked to you? He's only just met me, really.

[Her brow furrows a bit, like she's begun to start seeing the holes in how things are going, but then again, she's only seven.]

[unmanned]

No. We're old friends, only just reunited here. First thing he does is start telling me how beautiful his girl is. [More or less and give or take a few months. Edward can explain this place to Jenny.]

[toyboat]

Oh, do you live on this island? It's very pretty here, but there don't seem to be many people at all.

[unmanned]

A castle, actually. It's not far from here. Reckon that's where we'd find your father, too.

[Maybe this would brighten his life some.]

[toyboat]

In a castle? I'd like to see a castle, I've never been to one.

[unmanned]

Then you must follow my instructions carefully, Jenny. Think you can do that?

[Let's not spook Kenway's baby.]

[toyboat]

Yes, I think so! What should I do?

[unmanned]

First, you must cover those pretty eyes of yours.

[toyboat]

[Jenny obliges, though she might still be peeking from between the cracks in her fingers for now.]

And then?

[unmanned]

[James sees that!]

No peeking, or else the magic don't work.

[toyboat]

Ugh, but how will I see if you if I've closed my eyes all the way?
