Test Drive Meme 003

[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!

What to do on a train.

The problem with trains is you are unable to get off them. Whilst hurtling through an ever changing void that’s probably a good thing all told but it can lead to boredom. Or at least it does if you don’t think creatively enough!

What can you do in a standard coach? Well the obvious, most practical use is a comfy place to sit, in relative solitude as long as no one sits too close. Read a book if you’ve the points to buy one, or write in your journal.

But thinking outside the box a standard coach is also a pretty good climbing course, up and down over the rows of seats, there’s even gaps under the seats if you want to add to the challenge. Or you could just play the floor is lava.

Escorting Dralite

Dralite: Small, bat like creatures. As chicks they are about the size of a beach ball, however it soon becomes apparent that they are predominantly made of wings. Unfurled the creature is tiny with massive wings, spanning a meter long each. It is obvious why they need an escort, they cannot yet fly and their movement is severely hampered by their disproportionate wing size. They will happily cling to any friendly creatures.

Adult dralite are about the size of a sheep with large wings and large claws. They are teritorial but not overtly hostile unless provoked.

Dralite have a screech that will floor most creatures, knocking them down disoriented. As chicks their screech will stun, giving them time to escape from danger.

This world has a sizable colony and a group of humans who preserve and look after the huge dralite nests. However it seems like a group of chicks have gone missing, poachers are suspected, probably planning on selling the chicks off world.

Team One Is to track down the missing dralite. There are clues, footprints, other tracks and rumours of an unauthorised camp of humans in the area. Follow the tracks, check out the camp, see if you can find who took the dralite chicks and where they are being kept.

Team Two Is to rescue the chicks by any means necessary. Be that sneaking in and stealing them back or bursting in to challenge the poachers and put an end to their operation once and for all.

Team Three The remaining chicks still need looked after, especially with many of the volunteers helping hunt down the missing ones. They are needy creatures that cannot mover very far on their own so rely on clinging to other species to get around. You might just find yourself with a new dralite hat or cloak clinging to you, trying to get comfy. They shriek whenever they are afraid or don’t get their way and are likely to wrap their wings around your head if things get too scary. Good luck!

Around the Campfire

Once the chicks are back safe and sound it is time for a celebration. A huge BBQ and campfire is set up for a tasty feast. Just remember to share the meat with your new dralite friends or they will get sad and sulky and that could lead to trouble.

There’s lots of food and afterwards the dralite conservationists will tell stories around the fire, inviting the trekkers to do the same. Wanting to know of the different worlds they have been to, the adventures they’ve been on. Or if real life tale telling is not for you then they will settle for a good ghost story.

I am not ever...ever...in the history of anything ever...going to get used to you eating people.

[ If Gwen looks a little green when she says this, it's because that's just so gross, Venom. Why are you like this? No, don't tell her. She doesn't want to know.

She has her own Dralite in her arms, the thing actually sleeping against Gwen's chest. When she hears Venom actually use various names for the chicks? Her eyebrow raises in disbelief. ]

Don't name them. That's how you become emotionally attached to them, V.

[ That was cute. That was too cute. That was the weirdest most cute thing she's ever seen.

She still kinda wants to vomit because of the poachers, but still. Aww. ]

[ Peter is also looking a little green around the gills, his face contorted in disgust and trying not to look at the... remains. Instead he's focusing on his dralite. Nice, doesn't eat people, dralite. ]

Seriously. [ He agrees with his girlfriend with a nod, still looking a little ill. ]

Uh... I may have already named mine Norbert.

[ Venom grins at their grimaces, sharp teeth glinting and glistening with saliva and prehensile tongue lolling; sure, Eddie lectures that he's being a jerk and went too far, but it was a Bad Person and the dralites are safe and they aren't so hungry anymore. It's a win for everyone! ]

WE DO NOT NEED YOU TO GET USED TO IT. IT IS HAPPENING ANYWAY.

WE ARE NOT ATTACHED.

You know what? I don’t care how bad it’s gonna be for my metabolism. I’m vegan and it’s all Venoms fault.

[ Shes teasing. She has to tease or she’s gonna throw up. ]

Oh, yeah? And at the end of this mission, are you going to be able to give Leatherwing and Batlina to the right people?

[ The dralite in her arm snores softly and Gwen comes dangerously close to saying ‘aww!’ But the train is no place for pets. ]

Please tell me the name is a Harry Potter reference, Peter.
