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.

[Masumi jerked back as best she could on realizing she nearly bumped into Ran, though thankfully it didn't seem to be needed.]

"Yeah, another dead end..." [The frustration was edging into her tone, as much as she was trying to keep calm about the maze. This was her first mission, and she didn't exactly know what to expect from any of this.]

"...There isn't much to do besides go back and try another way. Maybe the next path will turn out better."

[She's trying to stay calm and not cave to the pressure, despite the dead ends and backtracking.]

[Sera is more hot-tempered, and Ran can tell she's getting irritated. Ran can't exactly blame her -- it feels like they're going in circles and it's frustrating, especially knowing that there's a time limit and their own wits are between them and their goal.]

There has to be a better way. We know it has an end, so there has to be a solution. [Her head tilts a little, looking back towards the way they came.] I think I remember where the beginning is? I remember something about if you start at the beginning with your hand along one wall and follow it, you'll find a way out.

If we had something to mark with, that might help too. We could mark any dead ends so we don't waste time with them again.

[Masumi fell into silence, thinking about what to do. They needed some way to keep track of where they'd been, or risk just finding the same paths and dead ends over and over again.]

"Maybe we can mark the dead ends with rocks on the ground. That should be obvious enough to spot if we come across it again. Combine that with your idea to keep our hands on one wall, and we might get through this faster."

[Taking time to think about the problem was helping to get her past the earlier frustration over the maze.]
