Test Drive Meme 011

[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.

"Show me some of the movies you've seen!"

Tidus hears the other guy somewhere from behind, answers with a laugh in his reply, and turns only afterwards to check out what new combination someone's mustered up from their less than varied collection. Maybe he should've turned before, seen that the remark wasn't for someone with the guy; instead, what Tidus sees before his outfit is the more colourful display on his face, and all lightheartedness drops from his own.

"Whoa -- hope the other guy got worse!"

He mimics the swing of a punch, 'cause of course visual representation is necessary.

Nico opened his mouth to start talking about old sci-fi movies, but stopped short at the mention of his face. Instinctively, he raised a hand, fingertips brushing the bruise before he dropped his hand away. "Yeah, uh...I gave it my best shot, at least," he said with a little laugh. It was only slightly forced.

But, there was a handy dandy subject change available in the form of movies. "On the other hand, you've never seen any 70s sci-fi movies?" It wasn't really surprising--he was pretty sure there were plenty of people who hadn't.

[blitzcheer]

Tidus knows not to press a subject, and that's a good enough answer for that. He's got a jacket to put on, flopping in hand, and he moves it behind him so he can get an arm into the sleeve.

"I've seen a sci-fi. Aliens from outta space coming to play Blitzball?" Actually, he might've seen a movie or two like that. "What's a '70s sci-fi' to you?"

Because whatever a 70s added to the genre was a big ol' blank for Tidus.

[dreamsofpeace]

Nico appreciated that. It would have been a little hard to explain the situation where he'd gotten the crap beat out of him without it being completely awkward.

"Movies from the 1970s? Uh. What's Blitzball?" He'd never heard of it, and he was still working on getting used to being on the train and everything that came with it--like different worlds. In fact, it didn't even occur to him yet.

[blitzcheer]

The 1970s? --Wait, excuse him, did this guy just say 'What's Blitzball'?

"Uh. Blitzball?" He'll just stare at the guy, waiting for him to get it. And if he needs some help: "You know--ball? Blitz-ball? In a pool, kicking-and-throwing-the-ball-around blitzball?"

And as his earlier punch had been mimed, so does Tidus mime throwing a ball now with both hands. ...and also throwing in another punch, the jacket half-dangling off him in the process.

He'll get to putting that on now.

[dreamsofpeace]

"Oooh." He wasn't sure how you'd kick a ball in a pool since balls usually floated, but. "That sounds pretty cool. I didn't know there were a lot of pool-based, uh, sports?" Was it a sport or a game? It sounded more like a sport, but he wasn't a hundred percent sure.

"So are you a fan or a player?"
