[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!

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.

Dressing Up

[deductiongeek]

With everything that had been happening lately, Conan hadn't made it to the platform this month to meet the new arrivals. He'd planned on making the rounds after the mission to meet everyone who had arrived.

He hadn't expected this. The few items of less objectionable clothing he'd gathered fall out of hands onto the ground as he stares at her in shock.

"Ran?"

[singlefaith]

Up until this point Ran has been trying to make the best of things -- finding herself far from home and family, with no indication of when she might return. The sound of the familiar, childish voice feels as though it breaks through a dam or loosens a particularly stubborn knot, sudden and heady.

"Conan-kun?" Immediately she twists for the sight of him. Spying the small figure, her features light, and with a happy cry, Conan will find himself swooped upon for a hug.

[deductiongeek]

He stiffens in the hug at first, still caught in the shock of seeing her after so many months. But as the hug goes on he relaxes and wraps his arms around her in a hug back.

"Ran-neechan? When did you get here?"

[singlefaith]

She hadn't expected there to be anyone she knows here. To not be alone is a wash of relief. He may catch a tremble in her shoulders as she holds on just a moment longer than usual.

Probably she shouldn't want him there. Probably it's selfish. He's a child. He should be home, protected, safe. But for the moment she can only feel relief.

"The day before yesterday?" Pulling away, her eyes flick over, instinctively checking to make sure that he's all right. "How long has Conan-kun been here?"

[deductiongeek]

He was sure that Ran wasn't going to like this. He catches that tremble with concern.

"Months. I've been here a long time. Ah, but it wasn't all bad! Heiji-niichan was here for a while."

[singlefaith]

Months?? She stares at him anew, looking at him more closely. He's so good at hiding how he feels sometimes -- better than he should be. Months for a seven year old seems like it could only be scary.

At least Hattori had been here. Heiji isn't exactly the picture of responsibility, but he's always seemed to have a genuine affection for Conan, and the two enjoy one another's company. That must have helped at least.

"'M glad," she offers softly, and feels a wave of guilt -- even though there was nothing she could have done; she didn't even know he was here. Her hands linger on his shoulders, keeping contact. "Have you been okay? Where is Hattori-kun now?" He'd used past tense, after all.

Focusing on Conan and her worry for him is so much easier than worrying for herself.

[deductiongeek]

"He left last month. Sometimes people get sent home." And that had been hard. More hard than Conan was willing to admit. Having Heiji here had been a point of familiarity and the security of knowing that there was someone here he could count on. More reliable than dealing with Kaito.
