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.

"ARG!" Yuffie dropped the console and while it wasn't a graceful drop, it didn't look like she broke anything. "I wanted to play a game with a weapon. I have nothing here. It sucks! I hate it. It's stupid. Sucks." She hissed and threw her arms to her side.

The flailing was helping because Yuffie's energy was slipping away and after her last flail, she collapsed onto the seat behind her.

"This sucks. I'm so bored."

She didn't want to fight anyone because she didn't want to lose.

Red XIII made an effort not to point out that the game had a weapon, she just hadn't liked it's limitations. Instead he kept quiet and let her wear herself out of the tantrum.

Once she settled onto the seat the big feline stood up. He moved over towards her with languid steps until eventually he was close enough to touch her. Then he curled his tail around his paws as he sat down on the ground next to her and after a moment leaned just enough so that he was touching her legs.

"There has to be something else to do. Why not one of the other games?" He nudged her slightly with his nose and then pointed towards the board games.

Red XIII was much wiser than most of Yuffie's friends. Of the group, Tifa was the only one with the tact to point out when she was being absolutely ridiculous and not have a ranting raving Yuffie as an end result.

Yuffie watched her friend pad over to her seat and frowned at the light nudge. It wasn't that she actually minded the suggestion but just having something to do wasn't the only problem... "Uuuuh..." She exhaled a heavy sigh and leaned forward so that her elbows were propped up by her knees and her chin was resting in her palm.

"That isn't the problem. I feel so useless here. My stomach is always hurting and I can't do anything!" She'd had a mission back home, first with the restoration of Wutai to its glory and then her work with Reevee in reforming Midgar. She'd had various other obsessions and to-do's between those things but there was always something useful to do and as ridiculous as Yuffie was, she hadn't feeling stagnate.

His face took on a concerned look. "You're still having problems with you stomach?" He had hoped after so long on the train it would just...settle. Get used to the motion. Hope didn't always pan out though he knew. "What about the medications in the medical suite? Is there anything in there that would help?"

Wise as he may be, he didn't know everything about human inventions, and in this case medicine. Of course, he was missing the real point here. He should have focused on the former of her problems more than the latter.

He might have sensed that. After a belated moment, he added. "You're not useless. There's just not anything to do right now." A beat. "But they say there will come a time when we'll have plenty to do. People to help. Perhaps we're here for a reason, Yuffie. And when the time comes, I know you'll be first in line to help out those in need."

[thegreatninja]

She pouted but didn't answer right away. The truth was that Yuffie hadn't even checked to see if there was a medical area on the train. She didn't think there was but that had just been a blind assumption. "What could they give me? Not even cure could help motion sickness." There wasn't a magic that could and it wasn't like science was used for good on Midgar.

Yuffie leaned forward and cradled her head in her palms.

"It isn't so bad anymore. My head just hurts and sometimes it spins." Her stomach had gotten stronger but it was still a horribly unpleasant feeling.

"I need to be in Wutai. That's what I should be doing." She sounded a little angry about it. She loved her dad but she hadn't appreciated being blamed for the sickness that had come from Midgar when it hadn't even been her fault.
