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.

B: Team Two

[blueberryprincess]

IF anyone is surprised that Evie spent time making various smoke bombs for this mission, and if anyone is surprised she found a way to get her hands on a sword? They obviously don't know Evie every well. But there she is, standing with Miles Morales, sword in one hand and what looks like a glass Christmas ornament that's been filled with purple and red liquid in the other hand. The liquid has been separated by a fragile glass partition and Evie'd drawn a small purple smoke cloud on it

Right. Cool. She made smoke bombs. No one, absolutely no one, should be surprised.

"So, what should we do? Charging in puts the Dralites at risk. I think our best bet would be something stealthier. With a good distraction."

She might also have another trick or two up her sleeve, if the smirk on her face says anything.

[shouldertouching]

Miles isn't all that surprised. He's gotten used to people being more than what they appear for better or for worse. With Evie, it's typically for the better he's found.

"I kind of really want to punch one of those guys in the face, though," Miles informs her in a deadpan but he also knows that's not the best choice, not for the Dralites and that's why they're doing this after all.

"You have the distraction in mind don't you?"

[blueberryprincess]

Evie really is trying to be a lot better than what she was taught growing up. And it's still an occasional struggle, btu not when innocent lives are concerned. Those Dralites are babies, after all. And Evie does hate people taking advantage of the innocent.

She holds up the smoke-bomb with a nod and explains what it is.

"Sleeping potion with some mildly hallucinogenic properties. It explodes in a small radius, so the Dralites won't be hit. And..." tucking her sword away for now, she digs into a pocket and pulls out a bag of pink and blue bubble gum.

"Here. Eat one. It's an antidote. You won't be affected by the sleeping potion. Cotton candy flavored." And yes, Miles. She did in fact take into consideration Spider-metabolism. With that, she pulls out a piece for herself and starts chewing. After a moment or two, the sphere holding the potion gets thrown into the poachers camp. There's the crash of glass, a faint hiss and a low-hanging purple cloud covers about six feet of space. The poachers are covered and snoring.

The dralites are safe.

"Ready?" Evie asks after blowing a small bubble.

[shouldertouching]

Miles takes one of the pieces of bubble gum. He has some concerns but he also knows enough about the other to trust her for the most part as he pops the gum into his mouth and starts chewing. He supposes that her plan is the best even if it is going to do absolutely nothing to deter those jerks from doing the same thing again.

It's not worth risking any of the innocents involved and it's easier than doing this alone and invisible.

"Ready," Miles affirms when the smoke bomb is in effect and he starts to move toward the trapped Dralites so they can go about rescuing them.
