Test Drive Meme 001

[voidtreckermods]

Welcome to our first 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!

Void Trecking

The thing about being on a train hurtling through void space is there’s not much to see. Outside the window lies an endless void of kaleidoscope colours shifting and swirling. It’s probably best not to stare at it too long. Do so and you might start to imagine order in it. Shapes, places, even figures. But your eyes shift... Back to chaos. Probably best you do something else other than stare out the window. Or convince your fellow passengers that void watching leads to headaches!

Sport Balls

Were you the unlucky person to first open the cupboard? Or were you sensible and let someone else deal with the avalanche of balls first? Either way there are now many many balls for every ball game you can imagine? Play one? Make up a new one? Wonder why there is a gymnasium on a train at all?

Aubergine Adventures

In the store rooms among the general ingredients for the month there seem to be an overabundance of aubergines. Why? Who knows. Perhaps the world where they last restocked had many to give, perhaps they’ve just been overlooked and now nearing the time where the stores need restocked these are the only things left.

What can you do with an aubergine? Can you make a tasty meal for everyone on this train? Or do you cook just for yourself?

A Whole New World

New worlds aren’t all about missions, sometimes there is time to explore, take in the sights, immerse yourself in local culture.

For example this huge covered market. Filled with people from across the stars, sales pitches called out, all translated by your Safety Control Apparatus.

A woman with three extra cyber arms is trying to convince you of the newest technology. “Just plugs right into the ports in your forehead, any information you need downloaded instantly. Never be stuck for an answer again!”

Or what about this stall selling strange gelatinous cubes in every colour you could ever imagine? Get haggling, avoid being dragged into strange stalls by over zealous trades people. Or actually try and get the lay of the land for the forthcoming mission.

Mission Time

You’ve arrived on a world with purple sheep. Everything else about it seems almost like earth, if that’s where you are from. But the sheep are definitely purple and these specific ones have escaped their pen and scattered across the fields.

To make it worse there are wolves about. The farmer has asked for your help!

Team One is to fend off the wolves, the farmer has some axes lying around but your best bet is to scare them off with burning torches.

Team Two is to play sheep-dog. Round up the sheep and lead them back to safety.

Team Three is to repair the pen, or this is going to happen all over again!

Pick a team, go wild!

Re: Void looks back

[alwaysgetsbackup]

[ He wasn't really paying attention to who, exactly, he'd been interrupting. Not a big deal either way, it was mostly just for his own entertainment, but the kid turns around, and that's when the Other Spider thing kicks in. He's met a few by now, so it's not as big a kick as it could be, but it's also the first one who's actually kind of looked like him.

Extra weird.

But he shoves that aside for the moment and waves lamely with a lopsided kind of smile. ]

Hey. You're another one, huh? Nice to meet you.

[hashtagparkerluck]

[ Peter stares at the other Spider-Person skeptically. He knows how the other-spider thing works now-thinks to meeting Gwen but this is... an older version of himself? How do you even introduce yourself to your.... well self? ]

Y-yeah. You could say that. I'm Peter. Peter Parker.

[ He offers a bit awkwardly, hands fidgeting in the sleeves of his purple hoodie. ]

I'm... from Queens-[ No, that's not enough. ] Uh.. I'm an Avenger.

[ He nods at the statement, the words still hesitant as he crosses his arms and tries to appear way more put together than he really is. ]

Re: void looks back:

[hibana_incursa]

You say universe, I say multiverse. And I’d imagine it’s big. And really ridiculous at times.

[ Like the fact that there’s another Peter Parker onboard. Sixteen years old. Rambles like he’s paid very well to do so. ]

There’s a woman on board with an actual Pokemon. I’d say that’s pretty wild. And I think we’re somewhere between universes. Outside, that’s what I saw when I fell into Miles universe. Like, between mine and his. That’s what it looked like But I haven’t Glitched once, so I don’t know how much weight that theory holds.

[alwaysgetsbackup]

So am I. All three, actually.
First two permanently, third one...eh not so much, but then they like to contract out sometimes.

[ He reaches a hand up to scratch at the back of his neck absently. ]

Peter B Parker for me, but yeah. Spider-Man.

[ So many questions right now, but he's supposed to be the Adult here. ]

Have you met any others yet?

[alwaysgetsbackup]

...how many universes ARE there? Geez.

[ Okay, real Pokemon is kind of a cool idea, but irrelevant at the moment.]

Maybe because we're outside of it? Same rules don't apply because we haven't snapped into a place yet?

[humansidekick]

"Uh, yes. Yes it is."

By now he's managed to get ahold of the ball and just cradles it, eyeing the girl cautiously.

"Do you know how to play?"

[blueberryprincess]

Evie shakes her head some, a curl of blue hair falling out of place for just a moment. She tucks it back where it should be and gives Stiles her best embarrassed smile.

“I didn’t know what it was until about five minutes ago. It’s not something on my world.”

[hashtagparkerluck]

Oh, really? That’s cool good to know the Avengers are.. avenging in another universe.

[ At least he thinks it’s another universe. What if this is him from the future? But he can’t think of a reason he’d ever quit the Avengers. ]

Yeah actually, I met Gwen-she’s cool. Really awesome and-yeah.

So uh... did Mr Stark make your suit too? Do you have Karen?

[alwaysgetsbackup]

[ Yes, yes, Gwen is good people, and he might even have commented, except then there's a question, and...what? ]

No, I made my own suit. Iron Man didn't have anything to do with it, and who's Karen?

[hibana_incursa]

[ A few days ago, the younger Peter Parker and Gwen had a problem in the dressing room. Like actual spiders, the scent of lavender caused an adverse reaction. While still coughing and gagging due to the perfume in the air, they quoted memes at each other and movie quotes to get the other person to laugh.

Because laughter is the Best Thing (tm) While experiencing problems breathing. Gwen and Peter separately are very, very smart individuals. Together? They're dumb-ass teenagers. So, no one should be surprised at her quoting a movie. ]

The limit does not exist.

[ That's in regards to Peter asking about how many universes there were. Gwen has no idea, and doesn't believe there's an actual number to quantify how many universes are in the multiverse. ]

I hope not. Otherwise, that means everyone on the train is in trouble.

[hashtagparkerluck]

[ okay, so definitely an alternate, not future him. That’s good to know. ]

Oh-well I made the first one and the Mr Stark did what Mr Stark does-he upgraded it. Karen’s the AI lady in my suit. She’s awesome-even if she does tell on me sometimes.

[blueberryprincess]

"You're welcome. It made someones day special, and that's what matters most, right?" Evie says with another charming grin, watching Orrig and moving out of his way, just in case. She pushes both platters of chicken at him, letting him know which one was the spicy. Just in case Orrig wasn't a fan.

"Evie Grimhilde, but Evie is fine." She's not particularly fond of her last name, or the person it connects her to.

[alwaysgetsbackup]

Why do you-- Why would you--

[ Deep breath. He met a girl who fights in a giant mechanical spider and a pig who has spider powers. Teaming up with Stark to refine the spider suit isn't the weirdest thing he's heard. ]

You have a nanny in your spider suit. And she's named Karen.

[alwaysgetsbackup]

I mean, unless somebody already figured out how to fix it?

[Maybe just wishful thinking, b it a guy can always hope. ]

[hashtagparkerluck]

Whoa. Dude. No.

She's not a nanny, she's an AI-and she can do all kinds a cool stuff-there's a reconnaissance mode, taser webs, and she records like-everything.

[ Please ignore the recording everything is called the baby monitor protocol. ]

[alwaysgetsbackup]

Which is cool if you're Ironman, or the Iron Spider I guess, but not cool if you're Spiderman.

[ And here is a Peter quickly sidling into his younger counterpart's space, draping an arm companionable around his shoulder. ]

Listen, kid. Everybody's got their 'cool tech' phase. But you eventually learn you're great just the way you are.

[hashtagparkerluck]

Oh! I have that-Mr Stark like added... appendages to it-but I mean was great for being up in space.

[ Peter tenses up a little as his older self drapes an arm around him-even if it is.. him. He's still visibly uncomfortable with it. ]

I didn't ask for it-I mean it's awesome but Mr Stark just does what Mr Stark wants. Or, at least... the one I know.

...um... can you.. not?

[ He asks, trying to pull older's Peter's arm off his shoulder. ]

[hibana_incursa]

If they did, maybe they can share with the class. I’d like to be able to visit Miles and Peni and everyone without the pain of my atoms reacting very badly to being in the wrong place.

[ Could be fun. [

[goodflerken]

Hungry is subjective. Goose can always eat. Literally. Her body doesn't exactly conform to most normally accepted space/time restrictions. If feeding her will keep the little girl from staring into a literal void, though, then that's not a bad way to deal with things. So, sure, why not? She's hungry.

Goose mews and butts her head against the girl's shoulder, running with her jaw line and doing her very best imitation of a quiet purr.

Aubergine Adventures

[afterburner]

Renee's glad someone does, because if someone expected her to cook--well, it'd be a lot of mac and cheese and hot dogs, until someone more experienced came along. She knows eggplant--she'd always seen it up at the corner market in her (relative) youth, but she'd never bought any to try--it seemed like more trouble than it was worth, when she'd read about what a person had to do to it to make it edible. But this guy seems to know what he's doing, so...

"You need any help?" Since he looked troubled, and all. "I mean, I don't know what I'm doing with eggplant, but I can take direction and stuff." Renee shrugged, and gave a slight smile at the guy. Couldn't hurt to ask, right?

Mission Time

[afterburner]

Dude, they're sheep, you're seriously overestimating their mental ability! [While he'd been handling the dippy wool floofs, Renee had turned her hand over to repairing the pens--she knew her way around wood, hammer, and nails, at least a little bit. Thank you, Girl Scouts.]

That's not going to hurt them, is it? [Though man, she's got a weird expression on her face. Is this guy...wait. No, is he who she thinks he might be? Webbing? Nah, he's gotta be younger than she is...Can't be.]

Renee Corbin/Afterburner | X-Men OC | ota

[afterburner]

[Void trekking across the universe...]

She'd been in space a few times. She'd been stuffed into the Darkforce dimension, once or twice, because Renee was pretty sure somewhere, someone'd decided she'd do just fine as a cosmic chew-toy. But she was pretty sure this took the cake. Looking out the window was like a bad LSD trip without the dubious act of taking the LSD first...

"Man, this sucks. And it's not even Monday yet."


[Mission time!]

It's a terrible accent, but what else is she supposed to do? It's easy enough to scare the wolves off by tossing kinetic knives at their feet--didn't expect that, now, did they? Renee snorted after the most recent lupine reject cowed into running away.

"Torchess? Ve don't need no steenking torchess."

Kind of boring, really. She glances over at the nearest person attending to their own part of the mission. "You sure you don't need a hand?"

Re: Mission Time

[hashtagparkerluck]

What? No!

[ Peter looks at the sheep, frowning at them as the one continues to try and eat the webbing. He lets out a frustrated groan, hand sliding down his face in a classic face palm. ]

Dude!

[ He expresses at the sheep that just 'baa's' at him in response. ]

It'll dissolve in like two hours. Plenty of time to get the fence back up-I think. Well... that's assuming nibbles over there doesn't eat it.

[knifewithnoname]

She sighed and stood up, "Be coming then, I can be getting you food."

It wasn't her turn to make food but she doubted that cats understood the concept of chores. She started along the train carriage, making sure the cat was still following her and she made her way to the store room.

What did cats like anyways? Fish right? "Do cats be eating aubergines?" Because they had a lot of them, she clambered on a crate to open a cupboard and see what she could make for this cat.

[goodflerken]

Goose hops down off the bench and follows in the girl's footsteps all the way back to the store room. She hasn't been to this part of the train yet. It's full of interesting smells. She likes it.

Cats are incredibly picky eaters, as a rule, but a flerken? Whole different story. Goose will eat anything. Even an aubergine, if that's what the girl wants to try and feed her. In the mean time, she's content to just wind herself around Little One's ankles, mewing occasionally and just acting like a cat. She's had a lot of time to practice. She's gotten quite good at it.
