Test Drive Meme 011

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!


Crisis On… A Ship!

The train has a game carriage and the VR video games are always popular. A good way to relive boredom as well as teaching some good skills.

Crisis on...This game can be played with two to four players. It is essentially a crisis simulator mixed with an escape room. You can chose the scenario (the bridge of a space ship, a camp in a jungle, a high rise building, a sailing ship etc) and you are thrown into the middle of a crisis of some kind. Teamwork and a cool head are important as is using the surroundings wisely.

Ahoy there! You and your small crew are on board a sailing ship in the middle of an ocean. But you are being chased by an enemy ship and there’s a storm brewing! There are many roles for you to chose from and different puzzles and problems to be solved. Batten down the hatches, flee the enemy ships and if necessary man the canons! Bring yourselves and your crew to harbour safely.

Dressing up

The upcoming mission is one in space and the void treckers have been told to blend in. The dressing room has been opened and what awaits them looks like it walked out of a old science fiction film. Shoulder pads, metalic colours. Everything over the top, ridiculous and not practical at all.

Yet the mission brief said to fit in. So swallow your pride and try and find outfits that aren’t too ridiculous. Or go all out and make the most of it, it’s not every day you can wear elaborate outfits after all.

Space Battle

As perhaps the outfits had suggested this world is an odd one, the outfits given to the voidtreckers make them some of the most subtle dressed people in the space city. Big, bold and loud. But the crisis is clear, an enemy force attacking this city filled with non combatants and children.

Team One

Space fighting time! The space ships are designed for two so voidtreckers will need a partner. There’s not much time to train so it will be mostly learning on the job, but it’s fine. The voidtreckers job is mostly to make up numbers, to split the enemy’s focus whilst those that know how to pilot go in to defeat the enemy.

Team Two

The problem with space battles is, there are a lot of injuries and a lot of damaged space ships. The space city is not one that has a large military so damaged ships need to be fixed as quickly as possible.

Help out the engineers. It might be the voidtreckers know a little about repairing ships themselves but even if they don’t, extra pairs of hands are always useful.

Team Three

This city is loud, bustling and full of life. But with the battle raging outside everyone needs to stay safe. Help people get to shelters. Clear the streets and begin the evacuation, though hopefully a full evacuation won’t be needed.

Space Disco

Enemies vanquished, this city does what it apparantly does best. That is, party. The music is way too loud, different songs out of each building, people dance in the streets, lights flash far too fast. There is strange street food to try, new dances to learn and a victory to celebrate.

"I. I don't speak. ...Whatever that is."

Is that English? It seems like it should be, but also she's absolutely making up words and sprinkling them in. That has to be it.

He holds up his blaster arm helpfully.


"I could just shred their sails. Is that an option? Cause I could do that. It'd take like maybe thirty seconds, if I'm slow."

"It's my first day!" Tangle called down. "Give me a break!"

It took her a moment to think about what he said next.

"Wouldn't it make it impossible for them to chase us if you did that?"
sharddrive: (okay rotor)

"Then why did you want to be in charge?!"

What do you mean it's just a game, this is a deadly serious military exercise.

...Or just a game, sure, but please consider: he really, REALLY wants to win.


"Yes? Is that not the point? Getting away from them before they can sink us or plunder our booties or whatever?"

Tangle hopped down, rappelling by using her own tail to cling to the top of the mast as she fell.

"Because I called being Captain! This is a game, we don't have to do it perfectly! It just has to be fu-AUGH!"

The boat was suddenly rocked, as the enemy ship had opened fire on them.
sharddrive: (screaming)

[personal profile] sharddrive 2020-04-17 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
"Whoa-!"

There's a brief pause as Shard steadies himself after the blast, catching a hand on railing.

"...Captain. I would like to report that the enemy appears to have opened fire."

He's saying it so sincerely it actually wraps back around to sarcasm.

"Sir, should we return fire, sir."

"I can tell that pretty easily, thank you!" Tangle calls out, retracting her tail from the mast and using it to support herself as the boat continued to shake.

She grit her teeth and held her sword out. "You return fire! I'll take the helm!"
sharddrive: (one)

[personal profile] sharddrive 2020-04-18 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
Heck. Yes.

"Sir, yes sir sir!"

Shard is absolutely being a little shit about this, as much as he can without directly disobeying. For now. He marches towards the stern of the ship, his blaster arm slowly powering up.

"I can just shred the sails, but if you want I can get fancy with it. Put a nice little logo through them, maybe spell something out."

"Just do whatever you want!" Tangle cried, as she tried to right the ship out of the attacking vessel's path.

As she said that, of course, a cannon blast aimed at Shard specifically came hurtling at them.
sharddrive: (actually good enough to be your fake)

[personal profile] sharddrive 2020-04-19 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
"Heck yes, let's do it to it. Wait, no, that's super dumb, ignore that."

The first cannonball is pretty easily blasted to pieces. He's gone toe to toe with badniks, Sonic, and at least two of his own successors in Eggman's service. Ancient cannon balls got nothing on him.

"See? Too easy-"

Which, of course, is the program's cue to blast another cannonball straight into Shard's side as he turns to crow. He's thrown back along the length of the ship.

"-OW?"

"Oh geez!" Tangle cried as she saw Shard go down. She moved to run to his side... when she heard more cannonballs whizzing through the air at them.

"Not today you're not!" she said, as she got in a defensive position in front of Shard. Her tail extended and swatted one of the cannonballs out of the air, while another was snagged by her tail wrapping around it seconds later, only to be thrown back at the enemy ship.

"New plan! I snag the cannonballs while you fire on the enemy! Good?"
sharddrive: (urge to kill rising)

[personal profile] sharddrive 2020-04-22 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
"Okay that is incredibly useful."

Catching the cannonballs isn't nearly as fun, but at the moment he's willing enough to sit back and let Tangle work. Admittedly mostly because his self-repair systems are kicking in and it's taking up the power he might normally be using vis-a-vis flying across the the holographic sea and getting some up close and personal vengeance.

"Just try not to get hit, you're a lot squishier than I am. It'd be a real pain to have to clean all that up."

He doesn't care, it's definitely just about not having to deal with paperwork. Shard plants his feet, one arm sparking and slowly knitting back together, and takes aim at the enemy ships.

Tangle continued to keep up, sometimes throwing cannonballs away, sometimes into each other, and sometimes managing to hurl them back at the ship. When Shard opens fire again, she breaths a sigh of relief once she realizes they hit some of their main cannons.

"Good work!" she said. "I think we can keep this-"

Suddenly, a loud groaning filled the air, and Tangle grit her teeth. "Oh, what the heck is that?"

On the enemy ship, a large hatch was opening up, revealing a very large, and very out-of-era harpoon launcher. Seemed the game was upping the difficulty in response to the players' "skill".
sharddrive: (okay rotor)

[personal profile] sharddrive 2020-04-30 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"Looks like a really big gun, Captain."

He's helping.

Shard squints, targeting the launcher.


"How bad of an idea would it be to get closer so I can really mess that thing up?"
