Test Drive Meme 009

[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!

At first, the Doctor is so intent on studying the wall that he doesn't even notice Spinel coming up in front of him. Yes, he does get so absorbed in things that he doesn't even notice people standing right in his field of vision. But a second or two passes and he eventually does register her presence.

"Oh, hello there! Say, can you hear anything coming from this wall? A little humming, the odd buzz, anything at all?"

[gardenstatue]

If this gem is good at anything, it’s waiting patiently.

At first, she has one brow furrowed in question while listening, but the look fades as she thinks she hears something else coming through the din of the dining car while hugged to the wall. Looking to the man when he greets her, Spinel nods with a look of surprise lingering in her expression.

“I sure do! I...I think I hear singing.”

[likesimpossible]

"Singing? That's interesting." The Doctor continues to listen intently, waiting for a sound of the singing Spinel says she's hearing, and a moment or two later, his face lights up with a grin.

"Yes! I hear it too. Have you heard anything like this before?" He steps a pace back from the wall and turns to face her properly. "Also, do you know what's behind this wall?" If she doesn't, no matter. That's what investigating is for.

[gardenstatue]

Gems are musically inclined, so she presses herself flatter to the wall after reporting the sound to listen to it more carefully, mildly deforming her shape to do so. Note by note, she learns the string on repeat even as no words accompany them.

Confirmation that he also hears it, Spinel peels herself from the wall, returning in the same instant to her basic humanoid shape. She answers mostly with, “I don’t think so...” then proceeds to hum a few bars in a perfect copy as though to see if it feels familiar. A brief frown and shake of her head confirms the song is unknown to her.

As for what’s outside the car, she shrugs her shoulders, “Can’t say that I do. Not really good at sciency stuff.”
