Test Drive Meme 008

[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!

Knight Quest

Upstairs in the games carriage there is a VR game set. There are enough headsets and controllers for four people to play. One of the games is Knight Quest!

A game that can either be played on single adventure mode or with the other three headsets in a campaign mode. It is a typical fantasy rpg about a young hero who is searching for a magical item to save the world. The story is simple but fun and engaging. The hero has a sword and shield and fighting in this game requires some physical skill, but practice makes perfect!

Games are a good way of gaining skills so team up and save the world, fighting monsters and practising fighting in a safe controlled environment! Just… Don’t bash into each other.

Making your own Fun

The standard coach doesn’t have all that much in it. Just rows of seats, though at the front of the carriage seats have been ripped up and bookshelves installed.

It’s a good place to read or write in their journals. Or annoy other passengers by climbing from one side of the carriage to the other without touching the floor.

Rehabilitation

The train has arrived at a collection of planets. That is good because your task is finding a place for the lindusi (large lizard creatures, recently rescued from a dying planet) to be settled and the more choices the better.

Team One

The first job is predominantly scouting. The scientists in charge of the lindusi relocation project have given the team a list of important features for a planet to have.

It’s like a scavenger hunt but for running water, certain types of plants, prey animals and other features. They have lent the void treckers some basic scientific equipment for testing the environment.

Team Two

Not all of these planets are going to be empty of hostile creatures. The second teams task is to accompany the first team and keep them safe. They have been given shielding devices, easy to use energy shields large enough to fit two people behind. They are handheld and a quick press of a button will activate the shield.

There are plenty of predators, from bears to strange flying aliens that want to eat you. Good luck!

Team Three

Once a suitable planet has been found the third team are to get the lindusi there. In shuttle ships. They aren’t too difficult to pilot, which is good because the lindusi relocation program is very short staffed.

Once they are safely landed it is a case of releasing them into the wild, in safe locations away from any immediate danger. The lindusi are still recovering from their trip through space after all.

[ Celebrity Fun ]

[ Climbing from one side of the carriage to the other without touching the floor may, in fact, be the only way to traverse the carriage right now: someone has gone through the bookshelves with a vengeance, tossing aside any titles that failed to meet what are apparently exacting standards. A pair of small purple stuffed goat toys on wheels are rolling around with tongs attached to their wheeled platforms, trying to pick up the books and restore order, but it is slow going for those with such an obvious maa-ndicap.

Sprawled across one of the remaining seats, with a third goat stationed next to her, a cup of tea on a table attached to its platform: the god Apollo, mortal name Shikyoin Hibiki. Golden laurels gleam in her silver hair. Her green eyes narrow as she peruses a passage. ]

Here, too.....It can't be.

[ She flips ahead, growing increasingly agitated. The crown-shaped Post-It she's applied to the front of the book flutters with the motion: PAROMEO AND JULPRIET, BY PRILLIAM SHAKESPRIERE.

Apparently she doesn't like what she sees later, either, as she raises and uncaps a pen. ]



--The errors extend throughout the entire document?! Ridiculous! Tampering with such a classic-----

[ Uh oh. This.

This could take a while. ]

[ Celebrity Rehabilitation, Act One: Team One ]

[ If the other members of Hibiki's team expected her to assist with the search, they are doomed to disappointment. She has opted to locate a magnificent tree stump, place upon it a cushion she removed from the train, and use her tremendous powers as a God of Fortune to cast an illusion over the lot so it looks like a chaise longue. At which point she took a seat. And began watching something on a tablet computer.

The tea table goat rolls up, that beverage in convenient proximaa-ty. Hibiki picks up her cup, takes a satisfied sip. Sighs a satisfied sigh. ]



A mundane task. As expected, there's no need for my personal involvement.

[ Meanwhile, out in the wild....a pair of intrepid robot goat toys have just gotten entangled in undergrowth. They are putting up a maa-ghty struggle.

It is clear they are Intrepid Explorers because they are wearing little goggled safari hats. ]

[ Celebrity Rehabilitation, Act Two: Team Three ]

[ Anyone near the shuttle ships may find the breeze carrying them a small piece of cardstock. On one side, there's an embossed picture of a mask and some lilies. On the other side, there's a missive. ]



Presently, I shall liberate the wings of revolution.

[ In the shadows, a cloak rustles. Something golden gleams. ]

door number two

[nopixiedust]

[Wow, it sure is a lot to ask that her god do.... literally anything, isn't it? And no, lounging around on a computer is not "literally anything".]

[Wearing what appears to be khaki lolita, with a cute fur capelet and ear-adorned hood, Wendy pauses in front of the pair of distressed goats.]

I can't leave any of you alone for five seconds, can I?

[Delicately leaning over, long boots able to weather the undergrowth, Wendy reaches into her capelet and pulls out... Who let her have a machete.]

Hold still. And Hibiki, you're watching, aren't you?

Re: door number two

[priforprince]

[ !! Maa-ster's primaa-ry caretaker! The goats obediently try to stiffen up as much as possible (not a difficult task when one's joints are essentially nonexistent). Though, if she wishes to address Maa-ster....

The goat closest to Wendy shifts so that she can stare directly into its camera eyes. But that also means it has a really good view of that machete.

Hibiki lowers her teacup, but frowns. Her view of Wendy has a bad case of shaky-cam: the goat in question has begun trembling uncontrollably.

What amateurish cinematography! ]

"Fun"

[badassfreakingoverlord]

[Two things happen at the same time.]

[First: a spygoat rolls up with a problem only its maa-aaa-aaster can resolve: it's picked up some sort of... stuffed animal? Some sort of stuffed penguin? With peg-legs and tiny bat wings? And a stupid but oddly lifelike expression?]

[Second: the car door bangs open, and in lunges a girl who holds a tome in her hands. Said tome is yelling.]

Hey, who the hell ran off with my Prin--

[priforprince]

HRAAAAAGGH!!

[ As does a mighty scream. ]

hibiki/done

[priforprince]

[ And here's Hibiki, now standing atop the carriage seat with a shield held in front of herself. The book in question has fallen with the Post-It side face up, but the tea tray goat managed to catch it atop its platter before it landed in the puddle. It is proud of itself.

But Maa-ster has not noticed. ]

YOU?!???!! WHAT'S THE MEANING OF MATERIALIZING DURING MY PRINTERGALACTIC ROAD SHOW???!??!?!?!

[badassfreakingoverlord]

[Hibiki got loud; Zetta gets quiet.]

You followed me. Chasing my coat-tails, even here to this damn train. So, it appears the eternal duel of Angra Mainyu and Apollo will be written across the entire cosmos!

[Beat.]

...Romeo and Elfnein are here.

1/3 i want to say the multipart tags will stop soon but who knows

[priforprince]

DON'T PIVOT ABRUPTLY TO A HOPE WEASEL DISCUSSION WHILE I'M OBJECTING TO YOUR PRESENCE!

[ One hopes Romeo has a tissue handy. He might need to sneeze. ]

2/3

[priforprince]

[ That out of the way, however, Hibiki begins to calm down. Processing the information she's just been given, she stows her shield. ] ....I see. Them, hm.

[ Further proof this train operates along similar principles as the Far Shore, when it comes to summoning: just as Fuwari and Falulu hadn't noticed her absence, she too had remained unaware.... ]

3/3

[priforprince]

[ A smirk. A hand to a hip. It's amazing, how she can suddenly make it look like she meant to end up on top of this seat, the better to lord her more than usual height over Zetta. Such is her magnificence. Such - is Shikyoin Hibiki! ]

Well, it's a paltry opening act, but so be it. Your role has concluded. Disembark at your leisure upon our next stop.

Team One

[silentwoof]

Well, those certainly are some... charming little robots. They don't look remotely like anything Eggman would build except perhaps as a Trojan horse, and she's not about to give such poor, struggling little things too much grief.

"Hey... little guys..." Whisper says quietly as she bends down nearby to gently undo the tangled plant life. At the same time, she glances around, ears perked up, wondering if they don't belong to someone nearby...

[priforprince]

Nearby? Not especially, though that does depend on whether Whisper's hearing is supernaturally good. Their maa-ster is way back out of the wilderness, and seemingly unmoved by their plight, save for a judgmental squint at the fact she's being made to witness that most tiring of specters, incompetence.

The goats, however, maa-ke up for their owner's absence with their joy at someone coming to rescue them. They huddle as close to Whisper as possible, not realizing this may make her job more difficult instead of less.

And did something just move in the bushes?

[silentwoof]

Whisper would hear if Hibiki wanted to make some noise - but for now, save the robogoats. What strange little things.

If this was a trap she was going to do terrible things to their owner.

It didn't seem like it, at least, but she was trying not to get distracted by the goats, still looking and listening for anything else nearby... "We should take you back."

[priforprince]

There's definitely something nearby, but it doesn't seem intent upon them the way a portion of a trap would be. It seems to be foraging, instead. Perhaps a prey animal?

Although they try to remain still so Whisper can help with their predicament, at the idea of heading back, the spygoats rev their wheels in dismaa-y. They can't go back! Going back is counter to The Maa-ssion! They have maa-ccepted the bold and tremendous task of EXPLORE THE ENTIRE AREA, which really is their very faa-vorite task of all!!! It would shame their reputaa-tions as...as...

well, as EXPLORERS of the ENTIRE AREA!!!

Hibiki lets out a sigh and has to close her eyes. Her feeling that she's witnessing something stupid has just loomed larger, though she can't quite place why.

[myblueskies]

"Miss Hibiki! What are you doing?" Romeo runs up to her, a frown on his face as he looks at the books everywhere. Miss Hibiki hasn't been here for very long and it is really nice to see her again. But he doesn't know why she's thrown books everywhere!

"Why are you writing in my book?"

Romeo had been the one to buy Romeo and Juliet and put it in the library. He hasn't actually finished reading it yet because it's a very very complicated book and he has to keep asking Joss and Elfnein for help! But Miss Hibiki has a pen and is writing all over it!

"No one will be able to read it if you scribble in it, miss!"

[priforprince]

"So it's yours?"

Come to think of it, the boy's name......If he didn't exude such a powerful aura of Wholesome Yet Alone In The World, and if he were not both dead and amnesiac, Hibiki would demand to speak to the parents that had saddled him with such a misspelling! (In fact, only the former may be stopping her. The latter is completely immaterial.)

As things stand, however, she thrusts the book and the pen at him. Doing this herself is making her ill. Clearly, pawning the task off on somebody else shall, as always, solve this unpleasantness. "Typographical errors litter this copy. I'll have you correct them."

[myblueskies]

"I bought it! Because I earned lots of points!" He doesn't actually know how you earn points but they are called team points so he guesses they are for good teamwork.

He took the book and then pen but just closed the book and shook his head. "You shouldn't scribble in books miss, Elfnein will be really really mad."

There wasn't much that would make his goddess mad. But disrespecting books was definitely on that list!

[priforprince]

"Hmph." Hibiki picks up the next book - the collection of almost-but-not-quite Holmes stories. A sham, this seems, masquerading as yet another classic. (Even if she is more a fan of the Scarlet Primpernel.) "Purchasing a better-quality copy would have eliminated such concerns."

One of the spygoats rolls up to take the book if Romeo isn't going to write in it. It is very slow going, because the goat has managed to get a big stack of books piled up on its platter. How it will maa-nage to reshelve all of these......is a maa-tter not yet contemplated.

Team Three

[yep_stilldead]

[ The card drifted through Ivy, and she waved her hand impotently through it a couple times before remembering to turn tangible and catch it. Logically speaking, she had nothing to fear. She already died, right? So whatever she's being menaced by, it can't do anything to her that's worse than that.

Really, it's amazing what the right atmosphere can do to push aside all those logical thoughts. ]

H-Hello? [ She looks around nervously, trying to pinpoint the source of the card. ] I'll have you know, I'm already plenty liberated, and I don't know anything about any sort of wings of revolution! S-So, I think you've delivered this to the wrong person! I'll just leave it where I found it, is that all right?

i'm so sorry for everything she is

[priforprince]

When the wings that soar in the sky unfurl....

[ The guard has a tenuous grip on physicality? That's....unusual, but once a calling card has been delivered, the next step in such a scene is always to deliver the introductory speech at the indicated time. Genre conventions must be obeyed.

The figure in the shadows emits a faint trail of red lily petals as they move. Though if Ivy reaches out to try and touch one of them, she'll find them just as intangible as she can be. Someone is an illusionist. ]

Appearing in the darkness, a single casablanca lily! Haah!

[ And the figure leaps. They're going to try to clear Ivy's head, aiming to land upon one of the shuttles. The gold gleam was from a mask they're wearing, apparently.

But they are also in a cape and an incredibly stupid plumed hat. ]

[yep_stilldead]

GYAH!

[ Ivy trips over herself, floating upside down into the air as she tries to adopt something vaguely resembling a defensive stance. ]

Don't come any closer! I'll haunt you! You'll be haunted for the rest of your life!
