[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.

Team 3!

[nobodys_puppet]

Xion is a fighter, but she's never flown so much as a gummi ship, being about two years old - despite looking like a teenager. So she is also helping team three. But she's not exactly good with people, so she's standing on whatever she can to get some height and is using a glowing magical key to somehow magically deflect incoming debris from the battle above. But she has been at it for a while, and the hood she has up is obstructing her field of vision. Which is probably why she doesn't seem to see the wall behind her hat's been hit from the other side and is just about ready to topple on the back of her head....

[singlefaith]

Something else hits her first. Catching sight of the hooded figure and the wall slowly tipping forward, Ran doesn't even bother with a warning cry. Immediately she's moving at full speed, barreling into the figure at full tilt. Hands come up to cradle Xion's head as Ran twists in midair, making sure that she'll strike the pavement first.

The wall crashes with a roar as they hit the ground several feet away, its bricks crashing into rubble and dust.

[nobodys_puppet]

Xion had been taken by surprise, her Keyblade going flying from her hand as Ran tackled her. It vanished before it, or they, could hit the ground. Confused, Xion found herself laying on top of someone else. She wasn't sure what to do. Usually something like this would have been because Axel or Roxas knocked her out of the way of something, but she didn't know who this was. Or what to do. Did she do something wrong? This didn't feel like an attack. It... really did feel like Axel without being Axel. "What...?"

[singlefaith]

It takes Ran a moment to recover from the adrenaline, to understand that the girl is safe in her arms. There'd been absolutely no thought in the action -- just pure movement and instinct.

"Are you okay?" Releasing Xion, she attempts to push herself up to a sitting position -- only to catch a tight breath as pain screams in her shoulder. Clothing is torn, and the skin is raw and bloody from skimming over the pavement.

[nobodys_puppet]

She got up carefully, then saw the shape the other girl was in. Pulling her hood back securely around her face she stood. She called in her Keyblade and it appeared in her hand. "CURAGA!" she cried, washing the area in green magic for a moment, healing them both to full health. Or whatever their baseline might be.

"Are you better now?" she asked, unsure. A Somebody had gotten hurt to protect her. Still not sure if she herself now counted as a Somebody, she didn't know how to handle this. Well, honestly, she didn't know how to handle it anyway. She wasn't used to anyone but Axel and Roxas caring about her. Even though it started happening in Daitu it was still... odd and somewhat unsettling.

[singlefaith]

Ran's world does not have magic. As Xion gets up and calls the keyblade, her eyes widen, unsure of intent, unsure if she needs to move quickly.

But before she can, Xion calls out an unknown word, the space around them fills with green light, and . . .

Her shoulder no longer hurts?

Startled, her eyes flick to it. There's no blood. No scar. No sign that it had ever been anything but smooth skin. Her fingers lift to touch it, confirming. It's as though it never happened.

"I'm okay." The words come out as wonderment. "Thank you." Her eyes flick back up. "You didn't answer for yourself . . . are you all right?"

[nobodys_puppet]

She nodded once and the Keyblade vanished. "I should return to the mission," she said quietly, still not answering. Because why should Somebody waste time worrying about her? She was just... Xion. Even if she might have a heart now, maybe... why should someone who wasn't a friend care about her at all? She was nothing... right?

[singlefaith]

It's so . . . clinical. Soldierly, in its straightforwardness. A little frown puckers Ran's eyebrows. This person . . . they're so young, given what she can see under the hood.

Why that's important, she isn't sure. But it feels like it is. It reminds her a little of Ai -- determination not to release, to hold everything in.

They both need to return to the mission, really. This isn't the place to talk -- not with all that needs to be done, all who yet need help. However, looking at that profile, Ran is quiet a moment, reaching out to touch Xion's sleeve. "I'll check on you later. Okay?"

Despite the question, it's really not one. Ran will check on her later.

[nobodys_puppet]

She turned to face her, eyes still shadowed by the hood. "Why?" she asked, confused. Why would a Somebody who never met her before want to check on her? Wasn't that a friend thing? But she didn't know Xion at all, hadn't seen her face. So... how could they be friends?

[singlefaith]

A blink from Ran -- that definitely isn't the standard response to concern. But she smiles. "Mm, because I want to know. We're teammates, after all. But either way, when you help someone and someone helps you back . . . you want to know that they're okay."

Carefully she pushes herself to her feet -- again, bizarrely, there's no damage, no screaming of muscle or skin to say that anything is wrong. It's miraculous, really.

Another smile to Xion. "Take care of yourself, ne?"

[nobodys_puppet]

"Teammates?" What did that mean? What made them teammates? She thought like she'd heard the term before, but couldn't place it. And how had she helped this Somebody? Xion didn't remember doing anything that would be considered help. This was all just getting too confusing, and there was still fighting that needed to be done...
