Test Drive Meme 002

[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!

Luggage Handling

The last carriage of the train is full of luggage. It’s all empty but there sure is a lot of it. Suitcases, old fashioned travelling trunks, rucksacks. And they are scattered everywhere, a safety concern to be sure.

Or perhaps the most fun place on the train, if you are thinking about it right. These cases could be anything, a fort, a bunker. How many can you stack up until they are too high to reach or they tumble down on top of you?

Let out your inner child and relieve some of the boredom of being stuck on a train by creating the luggage castle of your dreams, or step in before disaster strikes and attempt to bring some organisation to this chaos.

Scavenger Hunt

You’ve found yourself on a world that seems to be one huge scrap yard. At least all the parts you can see are and you aren’t the only ones there. A small fighter craft has crash landed here and the pilot needs help fixing their craft to get out of here!

Team One The parts needed must be around here somewhere! This place has all sorts and so it’s just a matter of trying to sort through all the junk to find what you are looking for.

Team Two Some parts from the actual ship are salvageable but it’s going to take a team to get this thing sky worthy again. Fix what can be fixed and get the craft ready for the spare parts that will hopefully be found.

Team Three This planet is not without its nuisances. Most prominent are some strange cyborg rats that have a taste for wiring. Fend them off before they get into the craft and render all the hard work undone.

A picnic with a view

Heroes deserve rewards every now and again and after a few days of protecting a settlement from strange shape shifting alien blobs there is a moment to relax before boarding the train once more.

What a place to relax in. High up on a cliff overlooking a vast plain of crystal stalagmites. The light of two suns reflects of them creating a dazzling prism mirror effect of colour, it’s almost like hovering above a sea of rainbows.

A picnic has been provided by some grateful villagers, the food is strange but delicious and a perfect way to unwind after a stressful few days.

"As long as you don't hit me with that thing."

Caranthir drawls as he steps into view - for a dead elf, he looks remarkable well.

"Hello, Nelyo."

[castintoflames]

"If you are my brother, I would never hit you." Maedhros narrows his eyes, the eye Morgoth injured showing him more shadows than light, "You do look familiar."

Though death is supposed to be something that sticks, Caranthir.

[grumpycatanthir]

"Not something Tyelko agreed with." He smirks, walking over slowly, letting Maedhros see him.

"Curvo or the Ambarussa either!" You two adults are boring.

"I hope you haven't forgotten me!"

Not for elves, duh.

[castintoflames]

"Are they me?" he tilts his head and his face slowly softens. Caranthir better not squirm when he is pulled into a tight embrace.

"How could I forget you?" his voice shakes.

[grumpycatanthir]

"True, you're Boring~"

He doesn't fight the hug, which is his own answer.

"You haven't been looking after yourself."

[castintoflames]

"Someone has to be a bore in this family." he mutters against his brother's shoulder, "Morgoth did a fine job of looking after me."

No, not really. Not at all.

[grumpycatanthir]

"He's a terrible example." He growls back.

"Kano told me what you did. Fool!"

[castintoflames]

"He is a terrible host." he pulls back and looks over Caranthir critically, "Aren't we all fools? We should have spent our time valuing one another; not jewels."

[grumpycatanthir]

Caranthir scowls at him.

"Someone had to manage the books." He growls. "I will not say that all that I did was foolish."

[castintoflames]

"You perished." he rumbles, kissing the top of Caranthir's head, "That was foolish."

As if he could talk.

[grumpycatanthir]

"So did you." He points out flatly.

"And I will point out I died doing my level best, where you apparently just gave up. And, I will note, left Makalaure, the most useless at looking after himself, all by himself, where he has apparently been trying to kill himself by slow degrees and failing at that too."

[castintoflames]

"The flames that claimed Atar sought my body as tinder. As my strength waned, my fëa burned brighter and brighter. I could feel it pressing against my skin and the rejection of the Silmaril was too much." he pulls back and continues, softly, "I know I left him. I didn't think of him until it was done; I am a poor brother."

[grumpycatanthir]

Caranthir heaves a deep, put upon sigh.

"Dear Eru and apparently the lot of you got stupid when I wasn't around. You're not a poor brother you idiot. Just an idiot one. Clearly, the two of you should never be left to your own devices as you feed on each other. What happened to Ambarussa?"

[castintoflames]

"Misery loves company." his lips twitch and he winces, "They perished during the Third Kinslaying at the Mouths of Sirion."

The very same event that brought another pair of twins into Maglor and his life.

[grumpycatanthir]

"Hm." He winces a little. "I'm not up to that, then. Ai, Nelyo you idiot. Stop blaming yourself for everything."

[castintoflames]

"Who else should I blame?" he smiles sadly, "There is no one else."

All of that aside...

"It's good to see you, brother. I've missed your scowls."

[grumpycatanthir]

Caranthir digs an elbow into his stomach.

"Morgoth, you fool!"

Yeah yeah yeah he missed you too.

[castintoflames]

He gasps and ruffles Caranthir's hair in revenge.

"That is far too easy and he doesn't care!"

[grumpycatanthir]

He sniffs. "It's his fault to begin with, you should assign blame wherte it is due."

[castintoflames]

"How shall I punish him?" he lips curve in dark amusement.

[grumpycatanthir]

You have fallen into his trap, Curvo would be proud.

"Live, you idiot. Live and spite him."

[castintoflames]

"It's too late for that." he nudges their heads together, "I'm sorry."

[grumpycatanthir]

Caranthir pulls back and gives him his best unimpressed glare.

"What the hell do you call this then?" He pokes him. Hard. "You don't feel like a wraith."

[castintoflames]

He laughs under the prodding, grabbing onto his brother's hand.

"A miracle. I jumped into a fiery chasm and I know there was naught left of me but my fëa."

[grumpycatanthir]

Caranthir allows it.

"Yeah? You're a bit too solid to be purely fëa."
