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!

Greenhouse

The newest carriage is a greenhouse.

The ceiling is a dome shape, a single metal beam runs from one end to another, mounted on this beam are large bright lights.

The aisle of grass runs down the middle, from one door to the next. Stone paths branch off around raised beds of soil. Nothing is growing yet but there are crates in which passengers can find a whole host of seeds and bulbs for various flowers.

Plenty for passengers with green fingers to do! Plant some seeds, tend to those they have planted already. Chase away people who have no idea what they are doing! Remind them they have to take the seeds out of the packet first!

If planting is a new thing then the ICP has some handy gardening tips or they can always ask their fellow Voidtreckers!

Sports Balls

For those who prefer their hobbies much more energetic then the gym's cupboard is full of balls. Balls for every sport they can imagine! The space is long and narrow which means a little bit of adapting but there is plenty of fun to be had. Start a game of football, or basket ball.

Make some new friends and get some friendly rivalry going!

Monkey Madness!

It's a strange mission to be sure but the Voidtreckers have been called to help a huge zoo tackle a problem. Every monkey enclosure has been broken open and the creatures have gotten out and into the city, where they are causing mayhem.

Team One

Though the monkeys don't pose much threat to human life they cause quite a big of damage. Team one is to try and get as many businesses and homes safe as possible. Bring things indoors, reinforce doors and windows. Warn those in the city of the incoming horde!

Team Two

Round up the monkeys! The aim is to do this without harming and luckily they have some capture devices, that can be thrown to spring straps around a creature. Bribing them is also encouraged. The city has prepared vans for the creatures to be lured or taken to. Careful though, these monkeys are cunning and mischievous and clever enough to steal the capture devices and throw them back at the Voidtreckers! Who is catching who?

Team Three

Back in the zoo there is plenty to do. First and foremost the enclosures need fixing and reinforced. Also an investigation is underway to figure out what happened and who is responsible. If DIY or investigating work is not in a passengers skill set then there are still many other animals that need fed and cleaned!

Reward time!

Soon all the monkeys are back in their proper homes and the city put back to rights! As a thank you the zoo is handing out free ice cream and a free pass to enjoy the zoo for the day.

Have fun!

That’s not going to work at all!

[Ah, good. Someone knowledgeable about plants. Surely she’ll point out the obvious problem here.]

The seeds need to be buried much deeper than that, I think.

[Ah, so it’s the blind leading the blind.]

[draconite]

Oh, is that so? I'd thought it would be better to give them plenty of room underneath to let their roots spread out...

[ my apologies to any and all gardeners who read this on flatview ]

Please, do show me how it's done!

[les_magique]

Obviously, if you put seeds that close to the surface any passing...cow?

[She's never been to a farm in her life.]

Sure, any passing cow could eat them. You have to get them down so they're protected. Why else would they make the soil so deep?

[Samata gathers a trowel from somewhere and kinda makes the hole a few inches deeper so ALL THOSE SEEDS are now going to be a huge pain in the ass to recover for anyone who actually knows what the fuck they're doing.]

There, much better!

[draconite]

Oh, I see! Yes, yes, I understand now. The plants won't have a chance to grow if they're gobbled up by a passing scavenger. They seem much cozier now!

[ rip in advance to these flowers. ]

Do you think we should water them now?

[les_magique]

Probably? Probably.

[Samata gets a watering can and sprinkles the big pile of seeds with the tiniest sprinkling of water.]

There, don't want to overdo it.

[draconite]

[ Bryn looks a little thoughtful, which is usually a prelude to some terrible idea or other. ]

Do you not think more water would be better? [ theeeeere we go. ] If they have plenty to start with, then we won't need to worry about watering them as often!
