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!

Noah is... not-so-subtly panicking. So he's traversing around this train, trying to figure out how to get home. Surely everyone back home needs him, right?

But the longer he goes without answers, the more he begins to feel useless. But, perhaps thankfully, he seems to feel just a bit of power from this girl as he passes by, and it causes him to drop the issue at hand. If only for a moment.

"Are you a familiar?" his voice tinges with both dread and hope.

"Nnn?" Nita said, blinking back to the present and turning to look at him.

"Er- sorry, no. I'm a wizard, but that's not the same thing back where I'm from. What about you, are you looking for one?"

Noah blinks when she says wizard.

Okay, he really has no room to talk - he looks feminine himself. He must have mistaken this person's gender. Yea, that's what he did.

"Ah. Not particularly. A wizard isn't bad in this circumstance either." He takes a deep breath and sighs it out, resting his hand on his chin in thought. "I've been trying to find a way home. I can't detect Leon or his familiars at all. It's... Unsettling."

Unsettling is an understatement. But he tries to coax himself to stay calm. Melting down here isn't going to help anybody.

"I don't suppose you know how to get back to Whitby? I'm not sure where you're from, mister....?"

He waits for a name.

Nita looked at him with an expression of both sympathy and sorry.

"I know what you mean. I've been feeling isolated here, too, even with all the people around."

But she shook her head.

"This isn't like the last time, for me; if I'm supposed to get back home on this train, it won't be for a while yet."

Which was, also, really annoying! Still, that wasn't Noah's fault; she blinked at the title, before saying:

"Miss, actually; wizard's a gender-neutral position in the neck-of-the-worlds I'm from. And specifically I'm from Hempstead, New York."

She held out a hand, all the same. "I'm Nita. What's your name?"

Maybe she could distract him from their plight, same way she had been trying to do for herself?

"Oh..." He pauses, looking very distressed about this train not going back home anytime soon. "Does this... happen often, then?"

At least it will let him go back home, right? Eventually? Still, he can't help but wonder what he's being pulled into this time. Some kidnapping ring for another case, maybe?

He blinks again, doubly surprised by the gender re-reveal. Well, at least that makes more sense... he thinks. He's never been to New York, so things clearly must function differently over there. Just as well, he does shake her hand.

"Sorry, Miss Nita. I'm Noah."

He looks at the seat acrost from her. It's going to be a long trip, after all, right?

"Urm… mind if I take a seat?"

"To me? Kind of. In this place? Probably all the time."

Sobering answers, but she's not going to lie to him.

"It's good to meet you, Noah. Even in a place like this."

She shrugs.

"Sure. Anything you want to talk about while we're waiting?"

There's a grimace on his face as he tries to absorb that information: All the time. A million thoughts run through his head, a million questions to ask.

He might as well start somewhere. Everything about this has to be wrong.

He takes the seat, sitting stiffly.

"Uh... who's running this? How many kidnappings have there been?"

Maybe he can find out why he's been separated from everyone, too. Maybe he'll find them.

And again, Nita sighs.

"'Fraid I don't know. The conductor doesn't speak to us outside of text, and I can't get any details from the train itself."

Which, even if it chose to be vague, it'd still be reassuring knowing how it was alive!

"So people get letters."

He thinks on it a moment - it definitely doesn't sound unusual in this regard. It's been the MO of many of his and Leon's clients back in Whitby. It actually makes him feel a little more hopeful.

"It must be a particularly difficult case, if they need this many people helping them."

"It's a little less formal than letters normally are, but yes," Nita corrects, quiet.

"And from what I've heard, it's more that they take on all sorts of cases sequentially, one after the other. Sometimes people leave between cases, but there's no rhyme or reason to who leaves or why."

Nita hasn't gotten much explanation, but the tidbits she has gathered are telling in their own way.

Noah's eyes widen hopefully - If they're taking on so many sequential cases, and always grabbing people, it's almost inevitable that he'll get back to Leon, perhaps in no time at all! They always work as a pair.

He relaxes against his seat, letting out a much-needed sigh of relief.

"Well, then, I suppose the least I can do is help."

Not that he necessarily wasn't planning to anyway, but this does make it easier on him.

"Thank you," is also the least he can say. "For filling me in. I feel a little better, knowing what's going on, now."

Hopefully no one's planning on keeping him here long; Nita manages another smile for him, encouraging.

"I do what I can. We have to be there for each other, you know? Support, and all."
