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!

Board Games

The game carriage is full of games. Every board game imaginable from silly party games to serious strategy games that last for hours. There are a disproportionate amount of games about trains.

Grab some friends, grab a game and some beanbags and get playing! Dive into a world of deck building or play a silly card game. A great way to alleviate boredom.

Happy Holidays

You have arrived in a place which might remind you of Victoria London if Victoria London had floating palaces and was ruled by wizards.

Their rule is strict and any kind of Winter celebration is banned. You have been called by a group of rebels to help with an underground celebration.

Team One

Distraction. Be out in the city, keep watch. If the guards get anywhere near the secret entrances distract them. Perhaps by being a lost tourist. Perhaps by causing mayhem. Make sure the organisers and party goers can arrive without a hitch.

Team Two

A party is not complete without food. The party is being held underground and there isn't much in the way of kitchens and do help bake in people's houses and smuggle the food across the city. Careful of guards.

Team Three

The venue needs decorating and the presents need wrapped. It might be an underground bunker but everyone is determined to make it the best festival ever, despite the risks. Help make it happen!

Party

Of course after all that hard work there is time to celebrate before you must board the train once more.

Eat drink and be merry!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Well, Nita couldn't say she was entirely surprised by that.

She sighed, reaching to put one hand up against the window before absently retracting it.

"Just wondering how I managed to get put on Assignment here. It feels like, almost an Assignment within an Assignment?"

She shook her head.

"So I was just drifting a little, mentally. What brought you to the train?"

He was about to ask her what she meant by an Assignment, and who would assign her such things, but she moved on too quickly for him to comment on it.

"I was exploring some elfin ruins that had been swallowed by the sea with some associates. I led them to a portal to another plane and then I wound up on the platform." He picked at some lint on his shirt to get rid of it. "My ending up here was an accident, but it's another adventure! I'm not upset."

He smiled and looked back to Nita. "What about you?"

The distraction was, ultimately, welcome, and probably good for Nita's health besides.

"They don't need you back in a hurry, do they?" Nita asked, head tilting slightly to better take in the kenku.

When it was her turn to answer a question, she made a wry face.

"I was at home, catching up on the news with my friend Kit, and while I didn't feel any worldgate show up it wouldn't be the first time."

And certainly not the last.

Paper gave a small shrug at the question. "They are quite the capable group. They've taken down an aboleth and one of the high priestesses of the Drow. They have a druid that can give them water breathing - I simply helped guide them through the labyrinthine runes. I have taken up cartography in my adventures and had explored the ruins and made something of a map of the ruins."

He listened to her attentively as she explained. Paper tilted his head at the word worldgate. "Is a worldgate like a portal?"

"If you're sure..."

As long as they were all used to being separated, then it probably wasn't an issue. Probably.

Nita nodded. "Yeah; you can set it to where you want to go - if you're lucky and something in it hasn't broken, or if the person on the other side isn't in a hurry."

"I'm quite confident in them. They did more than fine without me before, they'll do more than fine without me now."

He was quite chipper as he spoke. He wasn't part of their adventuring group and he was very confident in their ability to figure it all out on their own. He was maybe a little disappointed to not be in the ruins himself, but it was alright.

"That sounds a little bit like the spell teleportation circle, but you can only go to permanent teleportation circles with it." He's quiet for a breath, then added: "I don't know that spell."

Nita tilted her head in sympathy at the undertone of that line.

Then she perked up at what he mentioned next.

"Actually, yeah, I do know the spell for that."

Moving over to a clear spot of wall to lean against, she looked at Paper.

"My friend Kit calls it the 'Beam-Me-Up Scotty' spell. I mean, I doubt you could use it here on the train unless you wanted to skip cars, but... wanna see it?"

It'd be a welcome distraction, Nita suspected.

Paper was visibly surprised as she said she knew the spell teleportation circle. That was not a low level spell, so Nita must be a relatively skilled wizard.

"I am not sure why Kit would call it that, but I would love to see it." He figured she was right in that it probably wouldn't work on the train, but it was a fun distraction and maybe she could talk to him about how the spell worked. "Could you explain how the spell works?" He gave her a hopeful look.

The funny thing was, it was low-level to them - or at least, Nita had learned it early enough during her wizardring career.

"It's a cultural reference. And here," she said, taking a few tries to freehand a circle wide enough to use as a proper example.

The full explanation would take more than a quarter of an hour - what the enactive rescencion of the Speech looked like, where the person or people involved put their names, how to balance the math to account for atmosphere and differing gravity of the destination and so forth - but it all seemed to take less time than Nita thought it would.

Time really did fly when you were occupied, after all.
