Test Drive Meme 006

[voidtreckermods]

Welcome to our Test Drive Meme! Here is the place to see how your character might fit the setting, grab some samples and start having fun!

1. Post with your character. I’ve written out some prompts but feel free to make up your own, you have a whole train to play with!

2. Assume they have been around long enough for threads to jump right into the action!

3. Have much fun!

Happy testing!

Void Trecking

The thing about being on a train hurtling through void space is there’s not much to see. Outside the window lies an endless void of kaleidoscope colours shifting and swirling. It’s probably best not to stare at it too long. Do so and you might start to imagine order in it. Shapes, places, even figures. But your eyes shift... Back to chaos. Probably best you do something else other than stare out the window. Or convince your fellow passengers that void watching leads to headaches!

Relaxing

The newest carriage to be added to the Voidtrecker Express is a rock garden. In a glass domed carriage, flickering with the light of the void the rock garden is a peaceful and medative space, full of mosaics, a pond, fountains and small stony bridges.

It's also the closest to an outside space you have and so is likely to be used for less than peacful activities. Splash in the rivers, race around the paths. Or try and relax on a bench and read amongst the chaos.

Goblin Town

Goblins riding wolves, everyone's favourite foe. The wolves fly, obviously and the goblins fight with short spears, almost like knights on horseback if the knights were terrifying and demonic looking. They are causing trouble by harassing a small village.

Team One

Fight the goblins. A handful of weapons have been provided but mostly you need to try and outsmart the goblins. They can come from any direction, including up. Try and keep the village safe from their attacks.

Team Two

Protect the villagers, help them barricade their houses. Deal with any goblins that get through team one's defences. Some of the villagers want to help and that's alright, some of the villagers want to help and are still in single digits, that's probably less alright. Keep everyone safe!

Team Three

The thing with sieges is, some things still need to happen. People still need to eat. Babies need fed and looked after. Animals need tended. Try and help with the logistics of everything in the heart of the village, as far away from the fighting as possible.

Pick a team, go wild!

"I'm surprised you came at all."

His tone is kinder than his words; he doesn't mean to accuse, really. But he can read a battlefield perfectly well.

"It looked as though you had more than enough on your hands. How many of your people survived Glaurung, then?"

[seawanderer]

Even if Fingon had meant to accuse, he'd have accepted it. Maglor still frowns unhappily at him.

"Of course we came. Even if we were the last ones standing, we would have come. Not just because you are our king, but because we love you."

How many survived...? He has to think back, past the remembered overwhelming grief of the loss of the one in front of him now.

"Not many. We never really recovered."

[utulien_aure]

"Not enough to keep Himring, then," Fingon guesses, watching every twitch of his cousin's face. "Just Nargothrond and wherever Turno's holed up. That's all that's left."

He knew he couldn't keep Hithlum if they failed- he'd ordered the last few civilians relocated to the Falas for that reason. But still.... somehow this was worse than he had conjured even in his worst nightmares.

"But he's gone? He's defeated? How?"

[seawanderer]

"No," he confirms. "We fled to Ossiriand for a while with those left of our people."

As for how Morgoth finally fell...Maglor knows there's a bitterness to his expression when he speaks, though his voice doesn't carry it.

"The Valar came, after a while, with reinforcements and overwhelmed him. Chained him. Threw him far from where he can attack until the End." At least, attack directly.
