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!

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.

Aziraphale is quite sure that theater manners are still applicable even in small, train based rooms, but this really is quite the ridiculous movie. And quite boisterous. It's all very different since the last time he did try out watching films, in the early years of their first conception, but he's trying to grow a better appreciation for them, so that he may accompany his demon friend on more movie nights. He just hopes his picks won't be anything quite like...this.

"I do feel like the plot is a bit...much." He answers the guy anyway. "And the songs seem to be a bit nonsensical."

Curufin, being an Elf of the First Age of Arda, was never taught theatre manners. And in the three other worlds he's lived in since he left his own, there wasn't the opportunity. The few movies he's seen have been in somebody's living room, where plenty of alcohol was served, humor and sarcasm were valued, and nobody expected manners.

"The plot is a bit much, and so are the characters," agrees Curufin. "The songs are downright silly." His tone of voice suggests that this is not entirely negative criticism. In fact, he's collecting ideas and information for the next time he writes a silly limerick himself.

"Oh, by the way, I'm Curufin Fëanorion. I've been on the Voidtrecker for eight months. I haven't seen you before, so you must be new."

Well, Aziraphale has just been given to manners well since the beginning - methaphorical beginning, well before The Beginning - and ended up taking in more ways of etiquette, mostly from the UK. But he seems fine to mostly discard them over this film.

"Oh- Yes, I've just arrived recently. Aziraphale. Pleasure to meet you."

It would probably pay to have manners if you are the Angel of the Flaming Sword! God might expect it.

Curufin nods and smiles. "How are you getting along, so far?"

[ OOC edit: Actually, I guess you don't need to reply here, since we have a thread in the June platform post. But maybe we could say that this conversation in the film carriage really happened? It's funny enough to keep. XD ]
