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!

"Mn."

Lan Zhan stares at his hand. Having lived in isolation and not accustomed to socializing, he looks confused at first.

Then he realized he wanted a handshake, so he shakes his hand.

"Wangji." He pronounced slowly. Kaito is correct in his assumption. "Lan Wangji. It's nice to meet you Kaito."

Kaito grins at the handshake.

"Nice to meetcha too, Wangji-san." This guy seems around his age, but probably a bit older? 'San' is probably safe, he figures.

"Do you need any help getting settled?"

With a handshake, he nods in approval. "I think I'm good. But I'm figuring things out as I go along."

With a curious expression. "Wangji-san...?" Lan Wangji is not familiar with honorifics. "What is san?"
stealsyourheart: (aheh)

Ah, right, the Chinese don't use honorifics like that....

"It's a honorific! Like. Um. Mr?"

Having lived in the rural parts of his homeland in an ancient era, Lan Wangji has no contact with foreigners, so this is new to him.

He is genuinely curious. "Oh, I see. What language is it? I'm not familiar."
stealsyourheart: (U M WHAT)

I had to google this lol

"Well, I call my country Japan, or Nippon or even Nihon, depending on how old whoever it is I'm talking to. I think... uh, the Chinese for it is... Rìběn. Uhhh... They used to call us Wa 倭 I think?"

Lan Wangji understood and he smiles warmly at him. "That's correct. Japan...it's an island? I know of travellers and merchants who went there. They sail by ships by sea to reach the island for trade." Since airplanes aren't a thing where he's from.

With a scholarly interest, "If you like, you have to teach me some of your words in your language and I'll teach you mine."

Oh hey, does the Detective know Chinese? WILL THIS GIVE HIM A LEG UP!?

"Sure, why not! I haven't been to China either." He'll just... not mention that these days China is a few hours flight.
