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.

When was your last tetanus shot?

\o/

[ Curufin hops in a circle to see who is talking, still holding his foot. Luckily for him, he has good balance! ]

Tetanus shot? What is that?

[deductiongeek]

It prevents tetanus.

[Did he really need to explain this? ]

[so_dark_a_road]

What is tetanus?

[ Yep, Conan needs to explain it. XD ]

[deductiongeek]

[ Conan sighs in irritation, but starts explaining. ]

Tetanus is an illness caused by Clostridium bacteria. It causes painful tightening of the muscles all over the body and can lock your jaw so that it is impossible to open your mouth or swallow. The most common way to be infected to cut yourself on objects contaminated with the bacteria, like you might find in a junkyard.

[so_dark_a_road]

Jeez, I can think of a few people I've met whom I wish would have their jaws locked! [ Chuckle ]

All right, so it's an illness. Caused by bacteria that might be found in a junkyard. [ He looks all around. Hey, this sure looks like a junkyard! ] Don't worry, though. I'm of the Elvish race. We don't contract illnesses.

[deductiongeek]

Does it really work like that?

[Because it sounded really unlikely that an entire species would be immune to bacteria. ]

[so_dark_a_road]

Yes. Elves and mortals are said to be one people, and yet there are significant differences. We aren't actually immortal, but we age only very slowly, and we don't give up our bodies easily. Elves were created to love the earth, and our spirits have much influence over the material. We can be injured or killed, but we don't get sick. Our sages say that because we don't ever leave the Earth, whether we live or die, we were granted a vast resistance to things that can afflict or even kill a mortal. That includes disease.
