Test Drive Meme 006

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!

[Void]

This... This was so different than what she was seeing before. Never ending hellish nightmares to nothing. It was hard enough that she couldn't really stretch out her wings but then also.... She was surrounded by humans. Humans who murdered her family and clan. The source of her nightmares.

Why? Why was she forcefully awakened and brought here? Please... Please let her go back home and away from all these humans.

[Team Three]

So many animals and nestlings! She sings to help herd the animals to a safer place, using her Galdrars to create a vine barrier to protect both the animals and children. Around the children, they will see a six foot pure white Heron with a golden crest. Anyone who comes near the nestlings/children with anything that could seem like ill intent will have to deal with a birb mom's talons and pecking.

Alas, if only Inigo knew that it was human specifically she was scared of, he would be a little bit more careful about approaching her.

But he has no idea. And, granted, is kind of an idiot. But at least he's a well-intentioned one, since he can't really see her sitting there by herself without wanting to make sure she's alright. She doesn't exactly look alright.

"Milady, forgive me for the intrusion, but.. is there a problem?" Other than being stuck on a train hurdling through the void, anyway! That's clearly totally normal.

Leanne was staring off into the void, trying to remember all that happened that made her decide to board this train.

So lost in her thoughts that she didn't sense or noticed Indigo until he was almost right next to her and speaking. She goes to let out a startled cry and quickly whirls around to face him. A hand clasping at her rapidly beating heart.

"Hu-Hu-Human!"

Her mother ought to wash her mouth out with soap.

The reaction seems to startle Inigo almost as much as it startled her in the first place. He quickly glances around, as if he's expecting her to be talking about someone else, before he remembers that - duh, of course - he is the human here.

Although he's not so sure exactly why that fact is startling. The surprise fades into something more akin to confusion.

"I.. Y-Yes, I'm human, but.." It's kind of hard to find the words when he doesn't know what the problem is, huh. He holds up his hands, palms towards her. "You don't have to be afraid..!"

Fear is the best slot he can put her reaction into right now to have it make even a slight bit of sense, anyway.

Leanne kept her hands clenching at her heart, staring wide-eyed at Inigo, trying her best to calm her heart rate. Even though he looks just as shocked or surprised as her.

She forces her wings to relax a little as she continues to watch him, giving the universal sign that he means no harm.

"I.... I am sorry my lord.... You startled me..." She will at least try to be civil and just goes to hold her wings veeeery close to herself now. "I didn't sense your approach..."

"I suppose I should have announced myself.."

He's relieved that she seems a little less panicked now, although it's obvious that she isn't quite feeling comfortable either. Then again, if she's so panicked about humans - which she probably isn't, huh, judging by those wings.. - then he can't fully blame her for not being at ease.

"Please forgive me, milady." He quickly bows before uprighting himself again. "I did not mean to start out on the wrong foot with you. Please allow me to introduce myself-- my name is Inigo."

"It is also on my for not paying any attention, my lord."

She can feel his relief as her own emerald eyes studies him closely, watching him as he stumbles about with his words.

At his bow, she goes to offer him a small curtsey. She was still scared of humans but also she forgve them. So she can try and force herself to speak with this human. "It... It I nice to meet you.... My lord Inigo. I am known of Leanne, the 8th child and 4th daughter of Lozereth."

Wow, this is awkward. It sure doesn't help that he isn't exactly as socially gifted as he always acts like. Which means he's definitely feeling that awkward mood, which only makes him more awkward in turn. It's a downward spiral.

That obviously means he can only fall back on the one way he learned how to deal with these situations. He sucks in a breath before a smile appears on his face. "Your name is as beautiful as you are, milady."

Are you sure flirting is the right answer when it comes to someone obviously terrified of humans, Inigo...

"You do not have to fear anyone hurting you here. I suppose I can't speak for everyone, but most people here seem kind."

Inigo... Inigo what are you doing? Stop. Just stop. She is sensing your awkwardness as it is coming off of you in droves. And also, what is flirting?

Leanne quickly moves a wing to cover her face with it in order to try and hide. This... This was so hard not to flee. She felt bad for swearing at him but, this is what she can do at least to make up for it.

"You... You dont have to act but I do thank you for the kind words, my lord Inigo."

And whoops! She does get a brief scared look at the thought that most people are not this awkward bumbling Beorc. This place is becoming more and more frightening.

"Why is there no fear of such things?"

He's almost about to protest that he's not acting, but - for once - decides to make a better decision here and not do that when there's obviously more important things to discuss here. Save that talk for someone who doesn't seem scared and confused all at once, Inigo.

Besides, the last question kind of baffles him enough to not even consider the protest anymore. He never thought about things that way enough to even consider that someone would ask something like that. It's why there's a small pause before he seems to find the right words to answer with.

"Well.. I know it's not the case for many places." Naga knows he's had to fight off so many things - both people and other beings! - back home. "But no one hurts one another here. It seems we have been lucky to not have people with evil intentions show up on the train."

Leanne tilts her head when he was about to say something but then he decided to drop it. Hrm.. What what it that he was about to say? She kept quiet in order to let him gather his thoughts, especially after her question.

She knew that it was an odd one and that she does have to think about since she is no longer under Serenes' protection. Also besides the forbidden spells she was basically defenseless. Then his words came and she blinks a little.

"Per... Perhaps it is because you are a Beorc and not a Laguz?" A small pause as she realizes what she said could be taken in the wrong context. "But I am glad that so far, my lord Inigo has not found any person with ill intent."

There's definitely no taking those words in the wrong context for Inigo. Although that's mostly since he seems to have no idea what they mean. He stares at her for a moment as he wrecks his brain to try and find any clue as to what they could mean. She says them as if they are very natural, after all, and the last thing Inigo would want to do is look like a total idiot in front of a beautiful woman.

"Excuse me, milady. I hope it's not a terribly foolish question, but.. what exactly are these 'Beorc' and 'Laguz' you speak of?"

The singing alone is enough to bring a certain tall elf over, and Maglor raises his own voice to help calm children and animals. And there's a hint of awe in the pale, somewhat emaciated face as he studies the beautiful heron. He has a sword on him, but it's kept sheathed for the moment. This isn't a mission to fight, for once, though he's ready to. His purpose at the moment is to make sure those who can't fight are safe and kept calm while the rest work to repel the goblins.

Leanne continues to sing even as a Heron, making sure to keep an watchful eye on the children. Though she picks up the scent of a new person and goes to look towards the elf, idly placing hersled between him and most of the children in a protective gesture. She cannot do much but to at least be a living shield for those under her care and protection.

She does notice his height but ha! For once she is taller like everyone else! So ha! Her singing stopped as ahe just goes to play dumb and lets out a few chirps and cheeps.

Saga took part of the chaos when the goblins attack on flying wolves, keeping the village safe from attacks. Once the villagers are safe, he finds a safe spot to rest as he's been injured from being scratched and bitten by one of the larger wolves. One of his right arm is bleeding, and he searches the village for any healers.

When he couldn't find any, he sat close to where she is, grimacing and hissing in pain as one of his arm is bleeding from a wolf bite.

"Ah...the smarts." He said to himself.

There is a Beorc man sitting next to her. What is going on? Why is he sitting next to her?! Especially with the scent and sight of blood on him!

Leanne is almost frozen in place, frowning as she just can't get the scent of blood away and it would be rude just to move. Maybe... Maybe she can take care of one thing. She reaches down to tear off a portion of the helm of her dress and goes to offer it to him.

Saga turns his head to her. He sees a winged girl with long blonde hair and emerald eyes. Wings like that of an angel.

He smiles despite he's in pain. "Hello?" Seeing she tears off a piece of her dress. "Is that for me? It's only a scratch wound."

When it's clearly that it's not a simple scratch wound, but a bite from an animal. He reaches out for it and takes it from her.

"But thank you, my lady."

She doesn't speak to him still, just focusing on trying not to quickly fly away. But even then, her instincts were telling her to stay because of his injury.

A small nod was what she could give him as he accepted the made up bandage. Though she now got a better look at his wound and frowns even more. No, she cannot just leave it be. She wouldn't be a proper Heron otherwise.

A small sigh escapes her and she goes to start singing, focusing on her healing Galdrars in order to not only heal the injury but also to close it up as if it never happened.

With his wounds closed up, he marveled what happened. The pain is gone, so it's a matter of him cleaning up blood. She healed him with his magic? So she's a healer.

With a nod of his head, "You have my thanks. That feel much better. You can heal with your songs?" He was curious of her abilities, so he hoped she didn't mind if he's asking.

She goes to let out a long breath as it winded her a little to use such a powerful magic.

She jumps a little as he goes to start talking to her. She moves at once to start fidgeting with a lock of hair. "I can.. You should probably wash your arm of the blood."

She moves to start standing up. "I can fetch some for you, my lord."

He didn't know it, but if Bran heard the girl's thoughts about being unable to stretch out her wings? He'd be right there with her--sure, his weren't visible like hers, but with not having room to shift (or privacy to shift, away from all the humans!), it wasn't likely to happen.

He'd found the rock garden already, but enough people seemed to hang out in there that it didn't seem like a good place to hide out in corvid form, either. Too many to wonder what a bird was doing on the train.

"You look glum, little dove. Anything I can do to turn your frown upside down?" His tone might seem flirty, but here he was taking the jester's route. One wereraven prepared to caper for your amusement!

Leanne sighs before pouting a little, the signs of a headache was coming on. A part of her would be glad to have a companion who at least thinks the same way as her when it comes to wings.

She hasn't fully explored the train, trying ber best to keep away from all the humans on board.

A voice snaps her out of her thoughts and her wings poofed out in surprise as she quickly spins around to see the wereraven approach. She was about to exclaim something but... There was something about him. She wasnt quite sure of it.

The flirtiness of his tone goes over her head and she sighs a little, her wings still not relaxing. "I would not wish to be a burden about my lord but I do thank him for his kind thoughts."

Her tone was pleasant, but it was what she said that made Bran laugh. Amused, not mocking. "Oh, lady, I'm not anyone's lord. Maybe their jester, if we want to be honest, but lord? Not at all!"

He paused, then, a thoughtful expression crossing his face. "That doesn't mean I'm a ruffian, though. And no, you wouldn't be a burden. I get the idea we're all kind of stuck in this together, you know? Whether we want to be stuck here, or not."

He shrugged, then. "You just seem really ill at ease, and I'm not sure if it's the bunch of strangers, or something else. Just was wondering if there was anything I can do about that. Even if it's just idle and distracting chatter." Because if there was one thing a Corax was good at, it was chattering. And Bran was a typical member of his kind, in that.

Okay, she couldnt help but to giggle a little and shake her head. "But I do not know the name of my lord. Or perhaps I should just call you Lord Jester."

She couldn't quite figure out how she was at ease with him. She goes to let out a small sigh and despite the headache she gets from lookojg outside, glances out the window again.

"I was just remembering my home and also how I cant really stretch my wings in this strange beast. My wings feel so useless here."

"From you? I'd accept that. But I'm Brandon Corbie. My old man had a sense of humor. You can call me Bran, though--my friends do."

He shook his head as she looked out the window. "You're probably asking for trouble, doing that. I've been more than a few places so far in life, and this is the weirdest place I've ever been."

Including the Dark Umbra, though he's not about to say that out loud.

He frowned a bit at her next words, too. Bran's got it easy, he thinks, since when he usually gets his wings, he's a lot smaller--if a raven with a four-foot wingspan can be considered 'a lot smaller'.

"Well, there's always the rock garden, you can at least stretch them here, 'least til we get a mission and can get out on to a real world. Until then, you know?" He paused a moment. "Unless someone tried to take it over again. Or it's suffering through the spider-teens' prank war again..."

Bran hoped not.
