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.

"Well, um..." She hesitates a moment, because now that she's thinking about it, it might sound a little strange. "You just seemed...upset."

Then again, he is a total stranger, so how would she really know?

So she shrugs, giving a slightly embarrassed laugh. "Though I guess it really isn't any of my business. Sorry."

He shakes his head. "No, no, that's not it. I was just... training." He sighs. "I was in the middle of saving the world, when I was taken." He wants to go back. He wants to face Azula. He wants his father's reign of terror over. His hands smoke again and he shakes them out.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bother you." He bows to her, very correctly.

...oh.

She holds her hands up and shakes her head. "No, it's okay," she assures him. "I...I get it. I was...kind of in the middle of that too back home, before I came here. Saving the world, I mean."

Or at least, trying to.

"So it seems were a lot of people here." He walks over and picks up a towel, wiping the back of his neck and ruffling his hair.

"I was just thinking about how it would be back home, that's all."

Nothing to worry about, though his temper is a sight to behold.

She nods. "Yeah, I can get that. It's hard not to worry about what might be going on back there. But there's nothing we can do about it right now." As frustrating as that is. "But at least we have a chance to still help people here."

"But they're not my people." Zuko explains softly. "I should be helping them." Just another way he has failed them. He'd thought by teaching Aang firebending that things would be alright. He's not so sure now.

Finally he waves it away. "Don't worry about it. My name is Zuko."

She frowns, and she wants to press a bit more, but lets it drop when he changes the subject. "I'm Kitty," she replies. "It's nice to meet you."

He bows again. "It's nice to meet you, Kitty. Have you been here long?" He asks, curiously. He wants to know more about this place, he wants to know what to expect and how this place will knock him off his so recently found center.

"About two weeks, so not too long," she admits. "But if you need anything, I can still try to help out. I know what it's like to feel...disoriented by this place."

"And no one goes home?" He asks. Because that is important. He needs to get back, to defeat Azula, to stop her from doing whatever it is their father has her doing.

She hesitates a bit. "...I'm not really sure," she admits. "People have gotten off the train, but it...doesn't happen often. I've heard there have been people who disappear, but it's...not clear where they go. It's assumed that at least some of them go home, but we can never know for sure."

He doesn't like the sound of that. He really doesn't. He needs off this train, to do what needs to be done to restore honor to the Fire Nation, to restore honor to his family to himself. He sighs. "That is frustrating." He doesn't need to say much more about it, now does he?

She sighs, unable to really argue. "Yeah," she agrees.
