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.

"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?

[grumpycatanthir]

"I do like venting." His smirk is nasty and he bounces on his toes.

"Don't hog the kills!" He whirls to whack one of his own.

[castintoflames]

"You have great need of it!" then again, so does he. Maedhros is just slightly better at hiding his temper. Sometimes.

"We work together, brother. My kills are yours."

[grumpycatanthir]

"You're a fine one to talk."

He makes a face at him.

"Are not."

[castintoflames]

"Meaning?" he mirrors the expression - just to be aggravating, "Are too. We are brothers."

[grumpycatanthir]

Caranthir snorts, lips quirking in an unwilling smile.

"Meaning you clearly need to vent too, or was I imagining the way you smashed that rat into the other wall?"

And then, because he can....

"Are not."

[castintoflames]

"I wanted to ensure it died."

Riiight. Maedhros smirks a little, not buying his own story.

"I love you too."

Always and forever no matter how much he fusses.

[grumpycatanthir]

Caranthir flushes bright red.

"Loveyoutoo"

[castintoflames]

He drags his brother into a one armed hug, kissing the side of his head.

"I am blessed."

[grumpycatanthir]

Caranthir flails at the grab but settles with a grumble.

"Idiot." He says half-heartedly.

[castintoflames]

Just like an unhappy cat. Maedhros can handle a few claws if he lets Caranthir know he is loved.

"I'll not argue with you."

[grumpycatanthir]

"Good, because you are." He grumbles, and elbows Maedhros.

That's enough affection thanks.

[castintoflames]

"I like to think I'm less of an idiot as the days pass, but my track record can't prove that." he steps back and knocks another rat into oblivion, "Have you seen Kano?"

[grumpycatanthir]

"Yeah. He looks terrible."

Caranthir flanks him easily.

[castintoflames]

"I had hoped for better." he slams some vermin against the wall, "He needs to eat."

[grumpycatanthir]

Caranthir idly kicks one and then smashes it, dealing Maedhros an incredulous look.

"You left him alone." He says pointedly. "And he's always been the most useless at taking care of himself. What did you expect?"

[castintoflames]

"It wasn't... I wasn't thinking about him." Maedhros tries to explain, pushing his hair away from his face in frustration, "I thought he might seek out Elros or Elrond."

[grumpycatanthir]

Caranthir sighs at him.

"Nelyo." He says almost gently. "Cano is an idiot about guilt. He would never."

[castintoflames]

"They would have searched for him." he shakes his head in wonder over their genetic stubbornness, "He didn't like for me to feed him by hand."

[grumpycatanthir]

Caranthir rolls his eyes.

"Of course not. He's not an invalid, just useless."
