Test Drive Meme 007

[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!

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!

Holidays Team One!

[enthunder]

Having also been kicked out onto the distraction team the first time she opened her mouth and asked where the microwave was in a kitchen full of Victorian maids, Lightning has been dividing her time between frowning up at the nearest wizards' spire and watching the other side of the street.

So, naturally, she's not looking in the right direction when Wen Qing elbows her.

"Wh-- Oh," her eyes narrow at the guards. They haven't planned anything to deal with this yet, have they? She thinks fast, but she's not that much of a strategist and perhaps the plan she decides on is a bit... straightforward. "Right. Punch me."

[radishlobbyist]

"What?" Her voice is sharp with the sense of urgency she is feeling, eyes widening slightly as she sizes up Lightning to determine how serious she is.

The guards are about to round the corner and she knows there's another delivery expected at this time. Their people might be in that alley at this very moment. There is no time.

"Sorry," she breathes, followed by a loud shriek of, "How dare you!" Her hand, balled into a fist, slams forward, aiming for Lightning's chin.

She should have gone for chopping vegetables.

Her apology is met with a flash of humour, just a wry quirk of Lightning's mouth before she takes the strike. The way she falls at least tells Wen Qing that this is someone used to hitting and being hit, and by the time she scrambles up - making sure to stagger just enough to cover the alley - her expression is set in a snarl.

She's no actor, but she used to be law enforcement. She knows what a street brawl is meant to look like. How dare you is personal, but she really doesn't have the face to pretend this is a lovers' spat and neither of them know the world enough to make it about politics. So that means the next line would need to be something like...

"Tell me I'm wrong!"

[radishlobbyist]

Truth be told, Wen Qing hadn't thought beyond the first punch or about the backstory for their fight. She simply feels a wave of relief when Lightning goes along with it, with the sense of purpose of someone who knows what she is doing. She knows how to soothe or anger but she doesn't know Lightning well enough, nor does she know what would be a believable cause of conflict in this place.

"You," she snarls, stepping forward again, encroaching on Lightning though she doesn't touch her, not yet, just raises her hands as if she is about to push her, "You are always wrong! I don't want to hear it anymore!" They are the same height and she uses it to her advantage, glaring for all she is worth.

The alarmed guards are certainly paying attention to them instead of the alley now, rushing over with a yelp of, "ladies! Ladies, please!"
