[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.

Spark

[so_dark_a_road]

Curufin came into the Dressing Car in his Team Orange clothing as usual and started to literally wade through the strange costumes. "What the hell is all this??" he wondered aloud. "The train says it wants us to wear this glitzy gear in order to fit in, but what is it I'm fitting into, exactly?"

And then he saw the cat, who immediately asked him for a fish and for help with the bandana.

"Sorry, I don't carry fish in my pockets," he chuckled, "but we can go to the kitchen later and see what they have in there. And I'll help you with the bandana."

Re: Spark

[death_from_above]

"The clothing, apparently," he said with a kitty grin. "And we could fish something out of the kitchen first and band-ana together over the clothes later."

[so_dark_a_road]

Curufin grinned back. The cat not only talked but had just made not one but three puns! There was an aura of familiarity about this, and the Elf looked thoughtfully at the feline. "I can see you found some clothes to fit into," he said, smiling. "You like the piratical style? It seems to suit you."

And then, since the cat had suggested they hit the kitchen first, he turned and led the way. On the way, he turned to look at the cat and said, "If there is anybody on cooking duty in the kitchen, we could inveigle them into handing us some food -- by trickery, if necessary. I'm sure they'd fall for it, hook, line, and sinker!" A fishing pun.

"By the way, my name is Curufin son of Fëanor. What's yours?"

please excuse the lack of icons, as usual. >.< I will reupp him probably if/when he gets in.

[death_from_above]

"Aye do," he said with a kitty grin. That was a double pun, given the eye patch! YAY!

"We can bring them into line," he said following, happily. "I have some pan-tastic ideas how to tip the scales in our favor." The humor sounding familiar? Good, it should...

"Spark. Spark Deegan. Son of someone or other, probably." Yep. Deegan.

No worries!

[so_dark_a_road]

Curufin chuckles at the pun and augments it a little. "Eye do, too."

He breaks into an outright laugh, when Spark piles a couple more puns onto the metaphorical table. "Speaking of the kitchen, we'll dish out more than they can chew, and we'll bowl them over! They'll finally have to yield up the fish, if they have any." Whoa, this sort of exchange is so familiar!

"Pleased to meet you, Spark! Wait, did you say DEEGAN??? You're a member of the Deegan family?" His voice is full of surprise and delight.

Re: No worries!

[death_from_above]

He wanted to reply to the jokes, but his tail twitched as he stared up at him. "Yeah, I'm Dominic's cat..." Why? Did this guy know Dominic? Was he going to be able to get him home? Could they find Adrien and Nino and bring everyone home where they would be safe and happy? And then maybe they could go back and get the others too?

[so_dark_a_road]

"You're Spark, Dominic Deegan's cat?" Curufin repeated, just to verify what he thought he was hearing. "I've never actually met Dominic, but I knew Gregory. He was a good friend of mine in a world called Arda Marred. He spoke of you at times." He grinned happily. "And now you're here."

[death_from_above]

"Oh! You know Greg! Cool!"

Oh. Wait. Not cool. Gar looked just like Greg. Uh oh......

"Yeah, now I'm here," he said keeping himself smiling. Adrien was going to kill him....

[so_dark_a_road]

"Yes!" exclaimed Curufin, raising a joyful fist in the air.

But then he noticed a bit of a glitch when Spark reacted to Curufin's saying he knew Greg. That cat smile suddenly looked a little bit artificial instead of wholly spontaneous.

"Something the matter?" he asked.

[death_from_above]

Okay, he could cover, he could do this. "Ran into somebody yesterday," he said, tail twitching. "I thought he was Greg at first, but he just looks a lot like him. Have you seen him? Does he really look like Greg or am I just that desperate to see someone from home?" There. That should cover him. He hoped.

[so_dark_a_road]

"Who are you talking about? Since you weren't here yesterday, it must have been somebody from your world. I've never met anybody who looked like Greg, not in any world. I assumed he was unique!" How could there be anyone like Greg? Unless. . .

"I've heard rumors that there can be duplicates of people, and I've met a few, but never a duplicate of Greg. Okay, well, I once dreamed I met a Greg who wasn't identical to the the original, though they were clearly the same person, just with somewhat different histories. And in reality, I've met duplicates of some of my relatives. I wonder if you could have met a Greg clone?"

[death_from_above]

"I've been here a while..." he lied, trying to cover. DANG IT. Dang dang dang. Not good.... Now he couldn't be Gar for a while. That was sad. Gar was tall enough to get things off of shelves....

"He didn't have any clue who I was, and his eyes and hair were wrong, so I doubt it. You met another Greg in a dream?" Good subject change, maybe?

ROTFL, I can never control what Curufin remembers or knows, so I'm presenting it as a dream.

[so_dark_a_road]

Curufin smiled at the cat but didn't accuse him of lying, though of course he couldn't have been here long. Spark was clearing worried about something, and Curufn thought it would be best to simply chill and let things develop however they needed to.

"Hmm. I suppose Greg would remember you, whatever universe he was from. Yes, I met another Greg in a dream. I thought I had gone back to my own world, or a version of it, and I took possession of my castle once more. After a while, Greg showed up. I was so pleased to see him again! We started making puns almost immediately, just like old times, even though he didn't remember Arda Marred. He helped me negotiate peace with a band of Orcs, and then we went on the most amazing adventure in a spacecraft called a Palace."

LOL, that works.

[death_from_above]

He laughed a bit. "Well the puns and making peace with Orcs bit sure sounds like Greg, the rest sounds like some sort of weird story though. What did you eat before bed? This is why we should always have fish for dinner! Nothing bad ever happens when you eat fish... well... one bad thing happens..." he admitted, slumping his shoulders.
