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!

Happy testing!

Film Night

The newest carriage on the Voidtrecker Express is the long awaited cinema! It hosts many films and TV series. Perfect if passengers wish to waste an afternoon without worrying about being stolen from their worlds and hurtling through the void between worlds.

Dashing adventures, chair gripping horrors or adorable adventures of the Merry Little Voidtrain. There is something for everyone, though with only one screen arguments may be inevitable.

Fight Club

The gym carriage is definitely created more for ball games than sparring but that hasn't stopped the passengers adapting as best they can. There are homemade training dummies and plenty of people who use the space to work out and get ready for the next mission.

But there is also a cupboard full of every ball for almost every ball game there is, the two activities in one space may make for a little chaos.

Spar with people, play football. Create some mix of basketball and mixed martial arts. All training counts, right?

Jungle Heights

The latest mission has taken them to a vast jungle, where people live high in the trees. There has been an influx of tree dwelling creatures with sharp teeth, sharper claws and a love of destruction. To make things better the forest floor is not safe, damp and marshy many creatures lurk there ready to bite at ankles and it is home to a root, the sap of which burns.

Team One

Treetop fighting is an acquired skill and one the voidtreckers are having to learn quickly. Swing on vine ropes and tangle with monsters. Quick movement and quicker thinking is needed to take down the creatures in terrain they are naturals at traversing.

Team Two

People here live on platforms in the trees, with bridges and walkways connecting them. Fend off the creatures and chase them away from peoples homes. At least there is slightly solider ground beneath their feet, but they must be careful not to fall to the jungle floor beneath.

Team Three

Many of the people here are not fighters and they need help to get somewhere safer. It's a tough journey through the forest, especially when they leave the bridges and platforms of the village behind. Children may need carried and climbing from one tree to another is difficult even with sturdy branches to walk along.

They must be careful to stay in the trees, avoid getting too close to the forest floor but do not get too high, lest they attract the creatures.

That is just rude. Xue Yang turns his attention back to the screen. "Well now we've missed several minutes of it and might not be able to understand it anyway since you are raising such a fuss about it. And you expect me to bother someone else and ruin their movie experience?"

[spikelet]

If he'd told her who he was already, maybe she would've shared. Think on that, jerk. She chews in silence for a few minutes, and then relents. Not from guilt, or any kind of good feeling... or, well, maybe a little, because Daozhang isn't around to give him any... And he's always...

Ugh.

Because she's got a reputation to uphold. That's it. She rummages around in the pocket and pulls out another square of chocolate.

"It's not like you can't just watch it again," she mutters, holding it out, using the cane between them as a 'guide' to angle her arm.

[xue_yang]

He quirks his eyebrow as he watches that extension of that hand with the candy in it. She better not expect a thank you as he plucks that piece of candy from her hand.

"Why would I want to watch this again? It's not that interesting." His only interest is in harassing her and telling his own story around the one being shown. The one he has been telling is far more interesting then the one on the screen anyway.

im imagining his version as proud immortal insect way jsyk

[spikelet]

Then why'd you complain that you missed a few minutes of it... she very much doesn't mumble. It's visible on her face, though.

She's not going to admit that his story is, in fact, superior, if a little grim for her tastes. She's pretty sure the actual film's some kind of romance that rich people write about to make themselves feel superior. Rich bugs? Eh, people are probably all the same whether they're humans or insects. She leans forward to pat his arm before he can look back at the screen.

"I don't mind the bit I missed. Keep going."

XD probably pretty close

[xue_yang]

"So you aren't going to complain anymore? Fine, then let's see.." He continues with his story. Writing out the whole romance part because who really wants to watch some gross love story? He doesn't know much about those kinds of things anyway.

At once point he pauses so he can stuff the piece of chocolate in his mouth and chews for a moment. He'll just pretend there is a pause in the action.

[spikelet]

Satisfied that even if she's never going to watch this stupid film in peace, she's getting a solid story out of him, she settles back down. It's not like she has any experience with lovey-dovey stuff, okay! She definitely prefers all of this scheming and bad guys getting their comeuppance to... she squints at the screen sneakily. Are they... having psychic sex, or something... It's really unclear. She hopes not.

Back to the Fake Story. It'd be pretty good, but there's one guy that's still in the story that she can't stand! Why hasn't the protagonist just killed him already!

"I hope that guy gets castrated," she hisses, at just the wrong moment - he's suddenly eating rather than speaking, the swelling orchestra playing over the speakers has lulled, and there's definitely some huge romantic moment happening on the screen.

She sinks into her seat.

[xue_yang]

The timing is impeccable and he smirks as he looks over at her. "I don't think they would show such a thing in a movie." Not that he opposes body parts being removed, but he does try to at least make it believable as something that would be shown on the screen.

He wonders if he should reveal the fact that he knows the truth yet and really make her squirm. But he decides the time will present itself.
