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.

Comments

"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."

[castintoflames]

"For the time being." his smile fades, "Then I return to the Halls."

[grumpycatanthir]

"I'm not talking about THEN." he says impatiently. "I'm dead too, remember? I'm talking about NOW."

[castintoflames]

He blinks and fills his lungs with air, slowly, deeply.

"What shall I do?" he glances at him, "I suppose I must live for my brothers."

[grumpycatanthir]

"None of that crap. I'm not responsible for you!"

[castintoflames]

"It's too late." he smirks, immovable, "I have carried on for family for too long; it has become a habit."

[grumpycatanthir]

Caranthir folds his arms and glares. "Then you'd better not die again."

[castintoflames]

"Only if you make me the same promise." he can meet that glare.

[grumpycatanthir]

"Deal."

[castintoflames]

"Good." he looks around, lips pursed, "Shall we see this done quickly?"

[grumpycatanthir]

Caranthir shrugs and moves to stand by his brother. "They are just rats, I'm sure it won't take long."

You worrywart.

[castintoflames]

"Metal rats." he corrects, swinging his pipe over one shoulder, "They are either a wonder or an abomination."

[grumpycatanthir]

"Still just rats." Caranthir shrugs, casting around until he can find a pipe of his own.

"Tiny and quick to smash."

[castintoflames]

"Shall we?" Maedhros gives him a small smirk, "Think of them as a nice way to vent."

He hears the scuttle of tiny feet and lashes out with one arm, decimating the creature...creation?
