voidtreckerooc | Test Drive Meme 013

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!

Training Gym

Fight club have finally gotten a gym to train in. Train carriages make strange gyms, long narrow spaces. But this has mats, balance beams, climbing apparatus. Pads and training dummies for punching. It also has large blocks that look a little like what you might find in a children's play centre but can be used to make obstacle courses or provide cover in training exercises.

Set up a course, practice fighting or try and learn how to throw a punch! There are plenty who will help, people who take training super seriously and let's face it, people who want to ambush others from behind oversized foam blocks.

Games

For those for whom fighting is not an idea of fun, or those wanting more relaxation, the games carriage has a whole collection of different games. Board games, card games, dice games. There are many games about trains but they aren't the only type.

There are low tables in the carriage to set a game up on and plenty of beanbags and cushions to sit on. Grab a game, grab a friend or a complete stranger and get playing!

Water Maze

The latest mission has taken the voidtreckers to an underwater maze. They have been given wet suits, helmets and breathing apparatus- lightweight boxes that strap to their back, connect to their helmet and filter air from the water. A powerful and dangerous artifact has been stolen and the race is on to get it back before it is used for ill.

Team One

Plenty of monsters and foes have been sent to try and retrieve the item. Giant crabs, strange eels. Even people with fish tails and the ability to breathe underwater. All are dangerous foes and fighting underwater is difficult.

But team one are the vanguard, keeping the monster levels low to allow team two to push on through the maze.

Team Two

Hopefully team one will deal with the monsters, but the odd one might sneak through. Team two's main job is to solve the maze, because the thief is in the centre in order to perform his ritual.

It's a race against time, the maze is made of coral and walls of seaweed that are impossible to cut through. Solving it requires a quick mind and some determined swimming.

Team Three

For those not wishing to brave the water, or those whose skills lie more in helping others. The island where the artefact was stolen from needs help. The temple was ransacked and some of the islanders were injured. Help them fix their homes, put the temple back to rights, tend to the injured.

Cleaning the temple is a big job, but hopefully by the time the artefact has been retrieved it will be able to be restored to it's rightful place.

...you're going to punch the eel?

[ Kaiba would facepalm if he could. Unless Jou has some secret super-sharp knuckles Kaiba doesn't know about, that's not going to help. ]

Okay. We don't know if it's electric, so we can't touch it with anything metal.

{ He looks at the sword strapped to his belt forlornly. That's right out. ]

....'s worth a shot right?

[Maybe. Possibly. Katsuya, predictably, starts looking over himself for metal before beaming.] Well, I'm clear then! So...

[He peers around, looking at the rather sizable eel.] ...nyh...

...So uh...how fast d'y'think it could snap 's jaws aroun' somethin...

Fairly fast. Don't forget we're slower underwater.

[ He's looking around for something they can use...mm, is that an old shipwreck down there? Maybe he can extract wood from it. He starts drifting down. ]

Any visions about this part?

Nah, don' work like tha', [he grumbles. At least he doesn't have to explain much to Kaiba though, if he's figured that out already.

With what can only be called a pout, Katsuya crosses his arms and slumps a bit against the wall.] Mannnn...th's kinda shit w's so much easier w' the Virtual World...

[He takes another peek around, watching the thing's head. It's an eel- that much is clear. With lots and lots of teeth, and eyes that he can only occasionally see whenever it turns is head straight o-

...Huh.] Hey, y' think if we can't see 's eyes, he can't see us?

Don't remind me.

[ He does not want to go back to that...but, ah. That's an idea. ]

Possible, but I don't think we should risk it. We could wait for backup, or...

[ He looks again at his sword. A simple one, from his occasional fight club practice. ]

If you go, I go.

[Katsuya looks around again, considering Kaiba's words. He's not exactly a fan of what he's saying- mostly the part where he'll follow, admittedly.

But hey, screw it right? What's the worst that could happen?]

'M gonna aim for under th' head, [he starts, already preparing to kick off the coral.]

'F you're comin', get ready.

Ready. Remember: we have an emergency exit. If you think you can't escape, hit your SCA.

[ He crouches nearby, readying the sword. ]

I'll come from the rear. Go.

[ He lunges at nearly the same time, blade at the ready. He narrowly dodges a tail flick and holds his breath, swinging down at the same second Jou strikes---or tries to. The goal is to keep it from having time to react. ]

Oh yeah, we c'n do tha'...

[This is a great time to show what he's forgotten.]

RIGH'!

[And Katsuya charges- as straight as he can, the eel naturally darting forward just as fast. There's no way he's getting out of the way...

...Except.

He doesn't try to get out of the way. He just darts down. The eel narrowly avoids closing its mouth over, and Katsuya meanwhile grabs the lower jaw, pulling himself away from teeth and under. Hard to bite something when it's under your mouth.] HAH!

GOTCHA, Y' OVERGROWN SUSHI DISH!

[Well that was the easy bit at least.]

[ It is thankfully not electric. He skewers it as quickly and brutally as he can, breathing hard as he does so. ]

Wouldn't this have been easier if you had a water type---?

{ He's trying to wrench it away and ensure it doesn't get any bites off before it dies. ]

Nyhhhh.... [He seems to ponder it, even while launching himself along the eel's length by way of grasping at the thing's scaled hide roughly and pulling it. The eel isn't especially pleased, but it's even less pleased with the sword, giving Katsuya a bit of an advantage.]

Maybe..? I mean, Koach wasn' really... [He trails off, and if it wasn't for the fact that he was in the middle of doing his best impression of a ragdoll and a test dummy, one would wonder if he was handling things more casually.

Unfortunately, he really isn't, his words sound more like a shout, and also it's getting really hard to not fly off of this angry eel.] NNYYYYHHH...Hold more still dammit..!

[He just needs to get to the eye! Just needs to get to the eye!]

...you named it coach?

[ Why is he not surprised? He's violently jerked as this eel resists death as dramatically as possible, sputtering as he tries to hold on. ]

It shouldn't take much longer before it dies.

No, 'Koach'! [He shouts back, a very faint difference of inflection on the air. The blond climbs up a bit on the face, slowly getting himself in range of the thing's eye.

It doesn't appreciate this, especially now that it knows something is wrong.]

HAH-!

[Punching it in the eye probably doesn't help, but it's at least stunned for a second and stunned means not moving.]

Right. Big difference, I'm sure.

[ But they have bigger things to worry about, so he wrenches the sword out, drags it through again, and stabs a few times just for good measure. He's breathing hard as he bats the chunks away...yeah, underwater this isn't pleasant. ]

...you all right?

There is..! [He insists.] 'Koach' means-

[He trails off, looking down at the eel a moment- and then back to Kaiba as he nods.] Er...Y...yeah, yeah I figure so...

[He punches the eye again for good measure.] ...Kinda feels like y' did all th' heavy liftin here 'f I'm honest...

You caught its attention and stunned it. If I'd come alone, it would've taken at least a chunk out of me.

[ He takes a breath. ]

Now we have to stop the thief. A much tougher task. And one you're probably better suited for than me, given your experience.

[That...is a good point, maybe, yes, probably.

...Oh and the eel's stopped moving so that's helpful. He kicks off the thing, floating around it and nodding.]

Righ'!

An' th' thief at least 's probably human! [he says with a grin.

With his luck they're super not.]
