[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!

Dining Car

Situated above the kitchen the dining car has a large wooden table stretching the length of the carriage. Two long wooden benches run either side of it. At meal times it is inevitably crowded, chaotic and noisy without a doubt.

Try not to jostle your fellow diners as you navigate inter-universe table manners. Or is waiting better? Eating before or after everyone else so that you can eat in relative peace an entire table length from the next nearest person.

Or are you the rebel who starts a food fight?

Chores

Chores are part of life on board the Voidtrecker Express. Each team is assigned a task each month: Cleaning kitchen and bathrooms, cleaning bedrooms and passenger areas, laundry and cooking.

Obviously the only thing enforcing these chores in a passengers own conscience and their fellow travellers.

Are you diligent or do you shirk? Do you try swapping your tasks with someone else? Or just outright bribing someone to do your work for you? Work together to get the task done or try and persuade a lazy team member to pull their weight.

Snow Way!

In a small village a copy-cat of the supervillain Professor Chill has struck! She has no weather machine but holds the same ability to control snow- and seems to be using natural winter to attack the village.

Team One

The village is being attacked by snowmen and ice golems. Magically animated ice creatures that attack with sticks and claws. Protect the village by fighting off the snow creatures!

Team Two

Many of the village have tried to escape through a mountain pass. Go and help them evacuate. Fend off monsters, carry children or luggage. Help the villagers through the snowdrifts.

Team Three

Our villain seems as fond of puns as her predecessor and finding her is made either easier or harder by the trail of clues left by her. Clues consist of puns, ice riddles and snow facts. Solve the clues and track her down to bring her to justice.

Snowball fight!

Of course once the monsters and villain have been defeated there is some time to have fun in the snow. If anyone can stand the sight of it any more. Snowballs, snow angels and snowmen (the non animated kind) are yours for the making.

Have fun!

Chores- cooking~

[yilingdaddy]

At this point, Wei Wuxian keeps cooking some meals just because certain people complain about how his food is too spicy! Although there are a couple who only encourage him to make it even spicier!

He can't be expected to disappoint them, right?

And that's what he's planning on doing today, nose buried in a new book full of recipes and paying very little attention to whoever or whatever might be in his path. He's not in his usual robes though, deciding to stick to the blue uniform he's become used to wearing when on 'missions'.

The sound of someone else already moving around finally sinks in and he glances up. Only to freeze, book dropping from suddenly limp fingers.

Then he laughs and darts forward to fling himself at Wangji.

"Lan Zhan! I knew you'd be back."

[achickenformylove]

WangJi honestly hadn't been paying much attention either, having been more focused on cooking. There were others here, so the sound of footsteps nearby hadn't attracted his attention too much. Besides, he was wondering what one put into food to make it taste better. WuXian had always complained about Gusu Lan's cooking being too bland.

Of course, since he didn't cook with spice or seasoning at all, he had no idea where to start and it was very distracting.

Then he heard the sound of something falling to ground, turning to look only moments before there was a laugh and a very familiar face suddenly launched at him. As he wrapped his arms around him, he couldn't help but smile faintly.

"Wei Ying. You're here."

[yilingdaddy]

There was no doubt in his mind that Wangji would catch him, and he immediately tucks himself in close with a breath of relief.

But there's a flicker of confusion, though he doesn't pull away.

"Of course I am. A-Yuan and I haven't left, though Lady Wen arrived just as you left two weeks ago."

There's no genuine blame in his voice, only a flicker of it teases the edges of it. Wuxian looks up into his husband's eyes, head tilting a little to one side as he hesitates.

"Lan Zhan, do you...remember? Being here before?"

[achickenformylove]

He looked down at WuXian as the other tucked himself in against him. So familiar a place for him to be now. He had honestly not been expecting to see WuXian here so it was a pleasant feeling to know that he was.

So that also told him Sizhui was here as well as... that would Wen Qing? He had no ill will against the Wens that WuXian had taken in and protected. They had only been trying to survive in a world that didn't want them. So he did not feel any anger hearing that she was here.

At the question though, he answered honestly.

"I do not remember. I have only just gotten here."

[yilingdaddy]

...Well. He'd been warned of this, too.

But Lan Zhan is Lan Zhan. WuXian trusts this man with his life. With everything. That hasn't changed.

There's still one question he has to ask, though he only nods with a quiet hum at the first answer.

"How about back home? What were we doing there?"

[achickenformylove]

It's not like WangJi wouldn't want to remember, but there was nothing to remember. He was seeing everything for the first time here. He wouldn't even have thought that WuXian was here if not for his showing up just now.

But as WuXian thought, aside from that nothing had changed. WangJi would still protect him with his life.

"Confrontation at Guanyin Temple."

[yilingdaddy]

WuXian grimaces but stays leaning comfortably against the other man. At least they'd been far enough along in their relationship then that WangJi doesn't find this strange.

"You're from a little bit before me and A-Yuan. Time and place on this train don't matter."

But they've gotten sidetracked, he realizes and looks away to take a look at what WangJi's done so far with whatever he's cooking. And laughs, throwing a teasingly cheerful grin at him as he shifts just a little away.

"Want me to help with dinner, Lan Zhan? I found a book with some recipes that should be good."

[achickenformylove]

Nope, not strange at all. They had confessed their feelings for each other, so hugging one another was not so odd anymore. Holding WuXian against himself was comforting, reassuring that he was there. The person that he had never stopped loving.

"Am I? That's interesting."

He watched as WuXian's attention turned towards the food that he had been making. It wasn't far along at the moment at least.

"Please." Yes, help this hopeless man with cooking.

[yilingdaddy]

Funny how quickly he'd come to enjoy Lan Zhan holding him. And how immediately he'd felt the loss. So of course one hand stays curled in the back of the other's shirt.

"There are some pretty interesting people here! Tony- a lot of them have weird names... Tony makes his own liquor and doesn't mind sharing. There's a friendly spider who likes making people clothes. Kaito is funny and good at slight-of-hand type magic. And there are elves Lan Zhan! Elves!"

He may have been adopted by them...

WuXian smiles brightly at the agreement and sets to pulling out his favorite spices.

[achickenformylove]

WangJi listened to his description, definitely surprised to hear all of that. Yes, some of the names were pretty odd, but hearing about elves and an apparently helpful spider, it was all a bit of a shock.

"It sounds like a lot of different people here than at home."

He watched as WuXian began to gather different ingredients to help WangJi with his cooking. WuXian was better at this than he was.

[yilingdaddy]

"Mm," he agrees with a hum. But finally he does have to let go to work on food for whoever dares come when they know he's the one cooking.

WuXian pauses when he realizes he's fallen into the usual habits of 'too spicy' and shakes his head at himself before pulling away to pick up the book he'd dropped in his excitement at getting his husband back.

Except...Well. That's an easy fix, isn't it?

"...Lan Zhan," he pipes up when he straightens, walking back to get back to work. "Some pretty strange things happen with this train. You ready for it?"

[achickenformylove]

WangJi watched what he was doing, perfectly aware he was adding spice, but given that he was unused to cooking with any sort of flavoring, maybe it wasn't going to be that spicy? He probably wouldn't eat it if it was. Their tastes in food ran completely contrary to each other.

"Strange things? What sort of strange things?"

[yilingdaddy]

WuXian is fully aware WangJi can't really handle a lot of spice, and so there is one pot he's specifically not adding things to. This is love, right?

He taps the side of his nose as the second pot cooks merrily along, leaning a hip against the counter as he faces WangJi.

"We fought ice monsters on the last planet we went to. And earlier this week many of the people on board experienced each others dreams. I just slept."

[achickenformylove]

Good. Not making WangJi eat his spicy food. He loved WuXian, but spicy food was never something he'd get used to. He just didn't have the tolerance for it.

WangJi glanced over at him as he turned to speak, listening to the things that WuXian was telling him about. It was all so strange, this place. First the location, then the people, and now strange things happening. But...

"As long as I am with you, we can deal with it."

[yilingdaddy]

His heart does a little leap at the sweet words and WuXian smiles softly at him, nodding.

"...I've missed you, Lan Zhan."

Even just a few minutes, having this man back with him soothes him without any effort.

[achickenformylove]

It hasn't been so long for WangJi. He'd only seen WuXian not so long ago, but he would always want to be by his side and not want to leave him, even for a little while.

"I will be here."

If he had his say in it, he wasn't going to leave anytime soon.
