PROMPTS:

1. COFFEE DATE ‣ You’re in Surferio. It’s like Venice, only more old-school. Very green. The houses are more like huts, and they’re connected by wooden bridges. And the city’s teeming with all sort of humanoids — a Featherfolk here, a Menodix there. Watch out for the Lousyds in the water!

One of the city’s newest attractions is a cozy little café, said to serve the best pumpkin and ginger pies. And potato donuts. If you’re lucky, the chef will be in; he’s said to be terribly cute, with his trademark red bandanna and black wings. If not, his wife will surely be around, or at least one of his two charming daughters.

2. BAR BRAWL ‣ Kirlsa is a sleepy little mining town. The action’s mostly contained in the large manor in the middle of the area, which is not only the Count’s home, but also the headquarters of the Storm Brigade, Airyglyph’s cavalry division.

Tonight, though, the town’s modest tavern is abuzz with activity. The soldiers are out to party, including their more notorious cousins from the Black Brigade, the heavy cavalry unit based at the nearby Training Facility. One can expect trouble sooner or later, however; the two divisions don’t exactly get along.

3. DRAGON DANCE ‣ Congratulations! You didn’t die from what was essentially a battle with an air dragon, so now you’re a member of the Dragon Brigade, Airyglyph’s elite military force. From this point onward you and the dragon are partners — go ahead, name him/her — and you will have all sorts of adventures! Fancy a scouting mission? Go randomly exploring? Or would you like a special assignment from the King himself?

4. MAGIC SCHOOL ‣ The queens of the rival kingdoms of Airyglyph and Aquaria have launched their special joint project, the Center for Runological Studies, a magic school situated in Aquaria’s capital city of Aquios. And you are among its first batch of lucky students!

Excited? You probably will be, if you’re from Aquaria. Runology is in your blood. You probably even know a spell or two by now. Nervous? If you’re from Airyglyph, you should be. This is new territory; Glyphians are soldiers, not sorcerers. But you must have talent, if you’ve made it here?

5. PRISON BREAK ‣ You’re in a high-security military facility. A state-of-the-art, very modern prison, reserved for the most dangerous of enemies of the Pangalactic Federation. You’re one of the prisoners, or one of the guards, or one of the infiltrators — either way, whoever you are, you’re inside when the breaking out happens. Sound the alarm!

6. UNDER SIEGE ‣ The enemy is at the gates! Greeton’s invasion of Airyglyph has begun, and the mech army is now arriving at the capital. Imagine giant robots, able to shoot fire out of their arms, climbing up a fortified city built on the face of a mountain. Airyglyph’s strategic location has protected the kingdom from being invaded in the past — but not today.

The city’s in chaos. The evacuation order has been given, but most of the kingdom’s forces have been deployed to ground zero several days ago, and have been subsequently annihilated. The remaining soldiers are doing the best they can, but it looks like all is lost; even the queen seems to have accepted that, as she watches impassively from the castle balcony.

7. MYSTERIOUS EGG ‣ What’s that? An egg? Why is there a name and a crown symbol on it? You take it home, and sometime later it hatches... into some sort of animal. Is it a bird? A cat? A dog?

Even stranger, you’ll soon be able to do tricks with your new friend. Latching on to some part of your body, you can then fire balls of energy and cause explosions. Where will this new power and partnership take you?

8. INFILTRATION MISSION ‣ The mech army has one weakness: a central computer coordinating and controlling its movements. Your mission is to infiltrate the kingdom of Greeton, find the computer and shut it down. It should be fairly easy, but... your team isn’t exactly in good shape. Not just physically; you don’t all get along, either.

9. ROYAL PARTY ‣ Welcome to Quentão, a shining white palace built atop a waterfall. You don’t remember how you got here, but here you are, in a nexus of worlds. The palace is not just exquisite, it’s stunningly magical. You won’t see any servants, but the place is squeaky clean. And it seems to be able to anticipate your needs. Tired? Oh, look, there’s a chair that wasn’t there before. Hungry? Go to the lavish dining hall and food will magically appear.

Even better, there seems to be a party going on! A pretty extravagant one, too. The main hall is bustling with activity, and just outside it is a fancy fountain with strangely mesmerizing rainbow-colored water. Huh.

10. HOLY HEIST ‣ So an important ancient relic just got stolen. Or is being stolen. Either way, it’s important, and you’re definitely going to lose it at some point, because it’s being taken by no less than the Bandit King. What are you going to do? Chase after the thief? Call the cops? Break down sobbing? Offer a sacrifice to the gods and pray that they smite him?

The Center for Runological Studies had only been in operation for five years when it was shut down, after Queen Lorelei decreed the closure of Aquaria’s borders in the light of Greeton’s invasion of Aquaria’s neighboring kingdom of Airyglyph. Now, nearly forty years later, it was finally open again. Same location, but different jurisdiction: the Center was now under New Aquor, the unified territory of the three previously war-torn kingdoms of Airyglyph, Aquaria and the Sanmite Republic.

It used to hold some sort of elite status, where the best and brightest runologists (and aspiring runologists) were trained. After the last war, however, runology was lost to the world, and those who were born with it afterwards were, well... treated with a mix of reverence and revulsion. Reverence because they were thought to be the gods reborn. Revulsion because the gods had tried to destroy the world in that last war.

The ‘first’ of the new generation sat on the footsteps of the castle entrance, scowling. Heylel had not wanted this life, had not wanted the stigma of being born with runology, but it had happened and there was nothing else he could do but roll with it. Part of rolling with it was going to the Center to learn how to control his powers. As if that was the problem.

Lander Divins was one of the few students of the next generation of runologists who was actually excited to be at the Center. He was used to not fitting in, to being treated with a (strong) degree of distaste... Mostly by his own family, at that. Still, he'd always loved his magic. Runology fascinated him, so the lad himself saw nothing wrong with his abilities.

The nobleborn boy had been reluctant to sit down - he made some fuss about it being because of his status, but honestly, he was too excited to sit still. As it was, instead of moving his body, he had no choice but to move his mouth - a habit that often got Lander into trouble.

He leaned over towards the student nearest him and made a comment about not understanding what everyone was so upset about - failing to take into account the other boy's own look of displeasure.
