Test Drive Meme 013

[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!

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.

[Kei's head turns quickly to the sound of clinking ceramic. her eyebrows lift in mild surprise for a moment before her expression wanes into a wan smile at the prompt.]

I made it a little obvious, didn't I? Mumbling out loud to myself like that. Does that happen a lot?

[kabe]

It can, but I wouldn't worry too much. When I first arrived here, I was in shock too and bumped into people trying to figure out where I was.

( she wasn't attempting to minimize the other's experience, but rather relate to it.

with a soft smile, she set down the tray in hand. )

Here, maybe this will help?

[crossedstars]

Oh... [it's a sweet gesture, one that receives a warmer smile in turn. before she sits down, though, she realizes:] You didn't bring anything for yourself; you won't join me?

[kabe]

Well I'm technically on the clock....or rather doing the chores we have to here.

( she offered a chuckle before taking a seat across from the other and taking a single cookie from the plate. )

I'll steal this in the meantime. When did you arrive?

[crossedstars]

[it's a satisfactory compromise, and Kei nods to accept, taking a seat at last and scooting the cup and saucer closer to herself. she curls a hand around the cup to enjoy the warmth as they chat.]

The last station. A station...I don't remember arriving at. [her mouth tugs on one side.] I've gotten the sense that's common...

[kabe]

You're right. A lot of us don't remember how we ended up here, in fact I'd say nobody does. One day we just wake up in that station and we're off to another world.

( yuna's calm about her answer and instead of biting down on the cookie, she sets it aside for now. )

I haven't been here that long either but I can try and answer questions. Did anyone tell you the purpose we're all here already?

[crossedstars]

[she shakes her head.]

To be fair to them, I'd been trying to get those answers for myself, first and foremost. [a touch dry:] If I couldn't get a sense of what the meaning of all this was on my own, I imagined it'd come to me whether I asked or not... And here you are, offering to help.
