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.

Elena nods. They’re stuck here for the foreseeable future; might as well make some use of it. And playing chess with her boss, while a bit stressful, certainly sounds a lot more appealing than him finding out her newfound obsession with an otherworldly children’s cartoon. (Merry Little Voidtrain forever.)

“There is a bit of communication—but it’s one-sided. There’s a suggestions box. You type something in and it’ll disappear a moment later. A generic confirmation pops up.” Elena’s job is to gather intel, but the train isn’t exactly making it easy. “I would agree with your assessment, sir. The council seems to be a way to maintain something like control in an uncontrollable situation. I haven’t seen them do much actual rule making or legislating.”

She cracks a wry grin. “We found out the other day that we’re on a rogue train,” she says, and she seems genuinely excited about it. She slides her notebook across to Rufus, showing him her transcription of the message that had popped up on the ICP before everything went to hell. “After this came up, the train shut off the translator that keeps everyone understanding each other, probably to distract us from the message. After 24 hours, it was like nothing had even happened.”

"You can't tell me everyone on this train just gets along without conflict," he remarks with amusement but he doesn't elaborate on that as he leans forward to look at what she had written in her notebook.

"A rogue train? How exciting." He picks up the notebook to read what she had transcribed, his lips pressing into a thin line as his eyes moved down the page. If this was all true and he wasn't just having some strange surreal dream again -which he still hadn't entirely ruled out yet- then this information raised several concerning questions. He's not sure what purpose it would be to operate a train in a void like this for any kind of criminal organization, it seemed like it was more trouble than it was worth.

He flips over the page to see if there is any more before he looks back at her "What are these 'void missions' this message is referring to? Have you experienced any of these?" He looks back down at the notebook to see if he can pick out any more clues.

"Where else does this train stop? Does it just stop at the station?" If they couldn't step foot out of the train than his years of house arrest being locked away in the fortress in Junon was going to become a fond memory. He inwardly shudders.
