THE FANTASY SLICE OF LIFE AU MEME

"Okay, you know how every RPG has the grand heroes chosen by fate to become wonderful friends and stand up to the evil sorcerer/empire/corporation/monster and keep it from destroying the world? This game is not about them."

It's not always about saving the day. For every fate-changing hero running around and saving the world, there's a hundred perfectly ordinary people living out perfectly ordinary lives.

Well, for a given definition of "ordinary" anyway.

This meme is basically just an excuse to play out characters living their lives in a nice, relaxed JRPG setting along the lines of the Atelier or Etrian Odyssey series. There's no hard setting details other than "low fantasy JRPG aesthetic" so feel free to go nuts with the details!

Just drop a toplevel below with some AU details for your character (you can even pick out a character class if you're really into that), tag around and LET'S DO THIS

[The masked woman inclines her head when she hears the child humming, but doesn't otherwise acknowledge her until she finishes her verse. Then, without stopping, she moves into a simpler song. A lullaby.]

Hush-a-bye, don't you cry. Go to sleep, my little baby. When you wake, you shall have all the pretty little horses...

[Perhaps that's a tune the child will know better?]

[Melody isn't that young, and she blushes and steps back.]

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bother you.

[enleonne]

Nor did I intend to cause offense, if offense has been taken.

[She keeps playing, though she dips her chin and shakes her head, looking faintly chagrined.]

I simply heard your voice and thought a duet would suit such a beautiful festival night.

[asongfromthesixties]

Really, you think so? I suppose... I mean, I work really hard, but you're amazing!

[enleonne]

[Diora smiles and inclines her head graciously.]

If I sound so to you, it is only because I have also tried to work hard, and have had a little more time to do so than you.

[She pats the rim of the fountain beside her.]

Would you do me the honor of singing with me?
