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.

Curufin grins again when Caranthir grabs his arm, but he stops bouncing and allows himself to be steadied. Meek as a kitten, haha.

"I always do what you tell me. Besides, can't have a bruise on my jaw. It might not color-coordinate with my orange jumpsuit."

[grumpycatanthir]

"Always my ass." Caranthir rolls his eyes.

"When it suits you, more like." But Curufin has settled, which is good. "Hideous color too."

[so_dark_a_road]

"Always my ass, too." YET ANOTHER GRIN.

"Oh well, sometimes it suits me to do what you say. But you have to admit that's most of the time." He glances down at his clothing. "Yes, funny, isn't it? We Fëanorians wore red and gold sometimes, but never orange. NEVER."

But then he bats his eyelashes and primps. "Still, don't you think it accents my dark hair and eyes?"

[grumpycatanthir]

Caranthir rolls his eyes.

"Insufferable brat." He says. Fondly even. Maybe.

"It's hideous, it makes you look sick." He says bluntly. "No ornamentation, no jewellry... you're practically naked!"

[so_dark_a_road]

"Oh well, you know I never wore many ornaments anyway. I liked to make jewelry but I usually would rather see it on another. I used to wear a ring and a bracelet with my fancy red jacket when we threw a party or went to a feast, but the rest of the time, my hunting clothes were good enough."

But he has to chuckle again.

"Orange is the new black!"

[grumpycatanthir]

"Such scandal." Caranthir agrees wryly. "Practically undressed you were. Even Tyelko was better at dressing properly than you were!"

Caranthir, of course, used the Noldor propensity to jewellery as both clothes and statement to convey exactly what he thought of everyone to exquisite detail.

Moryo was well-dressed at his funeral, apparently. XD

[so_dark_a_road]

"Tyelko was pretty casual, I'll admit. But if you think I was an even worse dresser than he was, then I've finally beaten him at something! Whoohoo! Hand me the trophy!"

Curufin is terrifically entertained by Caranthir's fashion judgement.

the best dressed XD

[grumpycatanthir]

Caranthir rolls his eyes.

"Can't take you anywhere." He grumbles.

XD

[so_dark_a_road]

"You'll have to embroider a shirt for me next time you want to go anywhere," says Curufin, with a grin.

[grumpycatanthir]

"I already embroider all your shirts, Curvo." Grumble grumble mutter

[so_dark_a_road]

Curufin gives his grumbly brother a loving look.

"Not all of them. Just the ones you got hold of. You usually have no idea what's under my armor or my hunting cloak." Grin. All those unimpressive plain shirts he uses for battle or for the hunt. (Used, that is. That life seems to be over.)

[grumpycatanthir]

He eyes Curufin beadily.

"I know perfectly well your preference for unadorned shirts." Just let him into your wardrobe damnit.

[so_dark_a_road]

Oh, those beady eyes!

"Unadorned shirts are fine for most occasions. Not everything has to be decorated. Even though you do such a wonderful job of making things beautiful."

NOOOOOO, not my wardrobe!!! Soon there wouldn't be a singe item in it that wasn't embroidered with flowers, including my armor!

[grumpycatanthir]

Is that a bet?

"Not everything maybe. But not nothing either."

[so_dark_a_road]

Curufin knows he would lose such a bet!

"Oh, I agree, not nothing. I just like a few items to be unadorned, so that they may be. . . well, a background rather than a foreground. Embroidery makes a garment into an attention-getting thing."

[grumpycatanthir]

Indeed he would.

"I thought you limed attention Atarinke."

[so_dark_a_road]

You're not getting near my closet, brother!~

"I do like attention, but I like to get it because of my actions, or by being funny. Not from the way I dress."

[grumpycatanthir]

Promises, promises.

"Bah. You miss far too many opportunities to tell people what you truly think of them."

[so_dark_a_road]

There'll be a wrestling match over that closet, for sure!

"Oh, but when I take an opportunity, I really take it! You can't beat a sentence like this one: Go hence unto a swift and bitter death! I'll bet even Beren would agree I told him off royally." Snicker.

[grumpycatanthir]

Nonsense he can just wait until Curufin is occupied in the forge.

"Yes, but I do it always without anyone noticing half the time that I'm being insulting.

[so_dark_a_road]

Curufin will be really surprised to return from hammering the glowing iron only to find all his clothing glowing with colorful embroidered flowers. Heh, Caranthir is as sneaky as Curufin, if not more so.

"True. You're more subtle than I am." Big grin.

[grumpycatanthir]

"Maybe one day people will believe that." Crafty Curufin, but no one ever thinks about the middle brother.

Shall we wrap this one? Curufin is going to tag Moryo at Morgoth's Ring.

[so_dark_a_road]

"They'll believe it if I have anything to say about it! I'll start touting you as the craftiest of us all." Smile of craftiness and affection.

Re: Shall we wrap this one? Curufin is going to tag Moryo at Morgoth's Ring.

[grumpycatanthir]

Caranthir looks at him incredulously. "Somehow, I doubt that."

[so_dark_a_road]

"I will. You'll see. Suddenly everybody will be greeting you as the craftiest Fëanorion of all."

Chuckle.
