In-Character
Read the following prompt:
The rhythmic lull of hoofbeats are a marching drum to the small group of pioneers and variety of folk you have found yourself amongst, packed into a wobbling wagon. The rolling plains of the Southern Reach and a clear sky stretch out all around you, the buzz of excited chatter a dull wash in your ears as your mind strays to your former life and what has led you here to new lands.
“Nervous?”
You blink, returning to the present moment. A kindly older woman sat near you is smiling warmly with a crinkle to her eyes.
“I can tell it’s your first time. Still remember mine,” she flashes a grin and leans in.
“Tell me my dear, why have you come to the Reach?”
How do you respond (in character)? (150 words minimum)
"The Reach?"
The small nose crinkled, it was powdered in dirt. He held a hand up to block the sun that graced the two so brightly, finger-shaped shadows cast upon the face of the messy haired teenager. He crumpled the map that was in his pocket, turning it right-side-up. And he frowned.
"Fuuuh-huuuhck... That - no - good."
His finger left a trace of dirt as it drew down the map and he looked up flatly at the old woman who questioned him so. His brows quirked, and like letting the air out of the tire, he visibly deflated as his tired demeanor only sunk into complacency.
"I mean. I'm uh. Happ'eh to be here. Exactly where i'm meant to be."
It turns out that mountain on the map ended up being a spire. Twelve days of travel and hitching carts and stowing away on ships had led him to this moment. His hand fell as he let the light blind him, that maybe he wasn't seeing what was really in front of him. He fell to his bum, and cropped one leg over the other.
{I ain't headin' back, now. My feet hurt. Maybe i can stay for a few days..}
