[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!

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!

Re: Monkey Madness, Team Two

Without turning his head, Trowa spotted the other man. "They're smart, they'll know I mean no harm." If he could soothe a lion on the first meeting, a few monkeys weren't going to send him running. All he had to do was stay calm. "If you sit, you'll be less threatening to them. You'll be closer to their size."

Xander gave a start at that--he never considered himself terribly tall, what with a number of males in Spectrum City towering over him--but it was a very valid suggestion, at that. He didn't sit, precisely, but he crouched, almost kneeling down on the ground, though he had to spread his wings a bit for balance purposes.

"You have a point," the nephilim admitted. "I was hoping they'd mistake me for some sort of strange bird, but that might have been too much to hope for!"

Not that Xander thought that the monkeys weren't smart. He'd just been hoping that he was more clever than they were.

"I think I can keep coaxing them to be calm," he admitted. "But I don't want to force anything on them if I don't have to." If he didn't like that sort of thing, why would they?

[sendiintheclown]

"Don't force anything on them. Just be calm and steady and they will be, too." Shrugging, Trowa cut a cube off one of the mango halves and popped it in his mouth. "Do your wings make sitting on the ground a challenge?" It was only polite to make small talk while waiting on the monkeys to come over. He did notice them inching a little closer once he'd eaten part of the mango. It was important to prove the fruit were not tampered with.
