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)
Ceria glances up at the old woman, giving her a bright smile, chuckling nervously. "Heh, that obvious am I? Well I mean, there's nothing too special about me, but... that's sort of the point of places like this, right? New frontiers to explore, a chance to make something of yourself, and all that?" The young woman fidgets with her tattered, road weary clothes, pulling at the frayed blue scarf around her neck. "I'm from the heart of the Midlands, decent sized town with not much special about it, rather reasonable local lord, you know, all those boring things. Life was pretty easy, steady, consistent, nothing to complain about... and I guess that's why I left. I know it's naive, but I just don't want that life. I want to do something, to go on grand journeys and see new sights that none have ever seen before, meet interesting people and go on grand adventures and all that silly stuff. Who knows, maybe one day I'll get the chance to visit the Mist Isles, or the Ashlands, or... or anywhere really! Guess I just couldn't get my head out of the clouds like my dad always told me to."
She forces a laugh after her last statement, trying to cover the faltering downturn in her voice, lingering doubts in her eyes. Still, she quickly recovers, looking back up at the old woman, bursting with enthusiasm. "But enough about me, tell me of the Spire, what's it like? Are there many monsters here, or bandits, or just wild beasts that people end up fighting? Do you have any good stories from living here?" And on the excited questions flow, the rest of their trip passing swiftly, her inquisitive questions unceasing.
