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!

Peter Parker | MCU

{ Sports ball! }

[ It would be him that made the mistake and did the thing to cause an avalanche of balls. Who puts that many balls in a cabinet anyway? How did they all fit in there? He lets out a short yelp as the balls start to cascade down and jumps to the side faster than humanly possible. He may not have been taken down by the avalanche but now there's balls everywhere rolling in every direction. ]

Aw man, now I have to clean all this up.

[ He sighs, mentally trying to keep up with just how many balls there are to keep track of. ]


{ A Whole New World~♪ }

[ Peter's all for these little excursions-they're fascinating and he gets to meet so many new and interesting people. He's off by one of the market stands talking to a merchant's selling something that looks suspiciously like jello cubes. Not the minds, he likes jello okay.However, he's just there to talk it seems as he's in the middle of an animated story about something as the merchant just smiles and nods. ]

Yeah-so I was like-hey man you can't be doing that-there's things called laws? Ever heard of them-so he freaked out because I guess he hadn't heard of laws? That was a joke by the way-anyways I stopped that guy and he's in jail now-so anything interesting happen around here?



{ Mission Time! }

[ The sheep seem to have all gotten themselves stuck in some kind of spiderweb and here's Peter, sitting on a fence post looking quite proud of himself. All in a day's work for your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. ]

[ Except... ]

Aw man, really!?

[ He shouts in exasperation as he notices there's still three sheep out in the field. ]

Yeah, okay. You guys chill here, I'm gonna go get your friends-Oh my god! Don't eat that! Eat the grass!

[ Peter yelps as he sees one of the sheep chew experimentally on the webbing. ]

Whole new world

[knifewithnoname]

[Markets are one of the places where she feels at home. Not properly at home of course, it's very different. Her home didn't have people with metal arms or strange creatures that weren't mindless monsters.

It didn't have brightly coloured cubes. Little One had been eyeing up this stall for a little while now and she saw her opportunity. That boy from the train was talking and talking and the stall keeper seemed fully occupied in listening to his story and so she took her chance, slowly creeping up from behind and reaching out to snaffle some of the cubes for herself.

She has no idea what they are but they are interesting and she wants to know more, talking-boy makes a good partner in crime.]

[hashtagparkerluck]

[ Peter continues his casual conversation and making friends with the merchant as one does, listening to the merchant's response before a slight tingling at the back of his neck alerts him that something's coming-it's not a danger sense more like a soft prickle. ]

[ What now? He can't help to think to himself because his sense has just been going off and on all over the place since that day at the train station he has no idea how he got to. ]

[ He glances around for a second before he sees a little girl creeping a little closer and frowns. ]

You can't just take things that don't belong to you, you know. Kra'gar here works hard to earn a living selling jello cubes.

[knifewithnoname]

[She froze. How had she been caught. She knew she was quiet, the men were distracted. She was the best thief in Gauig! Her patch of Gauig at least...

She wrinkled her nose and tried to look casual.] I did no be taking any! I did no even be thinking it! [She tried to sound affronted even as she lied. She didn't care about Kra'gar and his hard work, selling jello cubes sounded like a stupid job.]

(OOC: Lmk if you need the dialect dropped!)

[hashtagparkerluck]

[ If not for his spideysense then he probably wouldn't have known but the feeling of someone creeping up on him was enough for him to check things out. He frowns a little more at the girl, glances back to Kra'gar and then back to the little girl. He certainly wouldn't disagree that selling jello cubes was stupid but people have to make a living somehow. ]

Uh-huh.

[ He doesn't believe her but maybe he's wrong-he did accidentally assume someone was stealing a car once only to find it belonged to the guy. That was embarrassing. ]

Did you want some jello? I'll uh.. pay for yours? I guess?

[ He freezes and pats himself down for his wallet. ]

uh... assuming I've got any money on me, anyway.


( ooc: Aww, I think it's cute! )

[knifewithnoname]

[She meets his eyes, daring him to call her a liar. She's not too sure what she will do if he does, but she can see three possible escape routes even if one includes darting under the table and that's a bit risky.

But then he... Offers to buy her a jello cube? Defiance turns instantly into suspicion. Why would he do that? Just because he believes this Kra'gar works hard?][She's at least got the understanding to know she probably shouldn't blurt out about being from a different world. Even though this place is so strange they might not bat an eyelid.]

[hashtagparkerluck]

Whoa. Cool it with the eyes daggers, man-I'm not gonna let a little girl go hungry.

[ he pulls out a bit of money and holds it out to Kra'Gar, realizing he has no idea how currency works in this world with the weird purple sheep. ]

So, Jello cube? Kra'gar mentioned something about having a mint flavored one? That's the one I'd go far but I kinda have an allergy so it's probably strawberry for me-wait.

[ He turns back to the merchant. ]

You have strawberry, right?

[knifewithnoname]

You do be having an allergy for mint? [Mint could kill people? Good to know. She looked at the merchant as well who seemed happy enough if Peter had coin and pointed out some strawberry cubes.]

You will be buying me one?

[Her attention is back on Peter, she sounds suspicious.]

[hashtagparkerluck]

Yeah, a pretty bad one.

[ The mint won't kill him parse but it'll certain cause a lot of suffering he'd rather not go through and also make him really sick. ]

And sure, why not? Like I said, I'm not about to let a little girl go hungry.

[ He takes one of the strawberry jello cubes. ]

So, pick whichever one you want.

Sports Balls?

[runs_on_batteries]

[Tony breaths a laugh and shakes his head. Leave it to the kid to open a door to Pandora's ball closet. He spots a stool nearby and perches on it, watching Peter with an amused smirk. He tries to ignore the fact that he simply doesn't have the energy to help corral the mess Peter made. Even their walk was starting to wind him. He hoped the kid wouldn't notice, or at least wouldn't mention it.]

Only you would find a door like that.

[hashtagparkerluck]

[ Peter whines lightly as he watches all the balls move around the very narrow gymnasium. How is he supposed to get them all back in? ]

I know right? Even other universes hate me. It's so unfair!

[ He mock whines as he sets about gathering up the balls-maybe he can find a bucket or something to put some of them in. ]

[runs_on_batteries]

[Tony picks up a rubber kick ball that rolls by him. He considers throwing it Peter's way, but then decides the kid might throw it back. He didn't want to have to chase it if he couldn't catch it. God did he feel old.]

Maybe you should practice with them instead of putting them away. You don't want your skills to get rusty.

[hashtagparkerluck]

Nah [ Peter shakes his head, shoving a few balls back into the cabinet. It's all well and fine for now, but how long until they start trying to fall out again. Can he web the doors closed? ]

My skills are fine-I got my spideysense. Also, I think Harry Potter might be a real thing in another universe, some of these balls look suspiciously like quaffles.

[runs_on_batteries]

Like what?

[A smaller ball rolls by Tony. He stoops down and picks it up. He waits till Peter isn't looking and throws it at him. And.. it falls short of ever hitting him. The throw just didn't have enough power behind it to get very far.]

Dammit.

[hashtagparkerluck]

Quaffles! You know, like Quiditch?

[ He turns and stoops to grab one to show it to Tony to see if that'll jog his memory.

[ his spider-senses don't even register the incoming ball as a threat and when he hears the ball hit the ground, he just looks stunned for a moment as it rolls a little closer. ]

Mr Stark, did you just throw a ball at me? That's super rude. [ Despite his words though, Peter is clearly smiling. ]

[hibana_incursa]

[ Gwen is still exploring the train, but at this point, there's not much extra she wants to see. She stopped in the dining car for a bag of watermelon flavored gummy bears and an apple, but that didn't seem like the place to be. So she followed her Spider-Sense back to the room with the ten billion sports balls, opens the door and stops.

And stares at the mess. And then looks up at Peter, the look on her face the least impressed. ]

Really?

[ They just cleaned this up and one of them has a Golden Snitch in their pocket as proof. Of...some kind. ]

[runs_on_batteries]

Are you speaking English or am I having a stroke?

[There was a twitch to his lips to indicate he's choosing to be difficult. Of course Tony Stark (TM) knew who Harry Potter and Quiditch was. He just had to mess with Peter a bit. He looks up as Gwen comes in and sees the mess. He chuckles at her exasperated remark.]

He's a magnet for trouble. Are you sure you really want to be friends with this guy?

[The word 'friends' may or may not have had air quotes.]

[hashtagparkerluck]

Gwen!

[ Peter half-yelps as she comes in. She's gonna tell Tony they just did all this and Peter really has no excuse because really, he knew better-or he should have-especially after how long it took them to catch that snitch. ]

Haha, Mr Stark, Very funny.

[ He blushes just slightly, his ears a bit pink and goes back to collecting the balls. ]

Okay so, I may or may not have wanted to get one of them out again-It was the quaffle-I was specifically after the quaffle since you got the snitch.

[runs_on_batteries]

Wait, what?

[He looks from Peter to Gwen and then back.]

You already opened this door before?

[He pinches the bridge of his nose and tries, tries ever so hard to keep from laughing. He fails.]

Kid, you're a mess.

[hibana_incursa]

I’m not helping you clean up again.

[ Gwen doesn’t mean this entirely, but she’s going to act like she does as she perched herself on one of the crates. She takes a gummy bear out of the bag and pops it in her mouth, holding the bag out to Peter a second later. Clearly she’s so pissed off or whatever that he made another mess and the soft smile she gives him is totally an expression of anger. ]

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.]

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.

Re: Mission Time

[afterburner]

Nibbles shouldn't...it looks like something broke the fence. Nibbles doesn't look strong enough. So if I get this back up it should be fine...

[Not that Renee wants to think about what was strong enough. Maybe the shepherd or farmer just...didn't take really good care of the fencing. Yeah, she hoped that was the case. She stares as Nibbles comes on over and stares at her before trying to nibble at her polo shirt, while she's working.]

Your breath smells like grass. You're the epitome of pretty, but pretty stupid, huh?

[The only response is "baaa!". She just looks at Peter. Yep, that was sure a thing.]

[hashtagparkerluck]

Well-I actually meant the webbing but now that you mention it.

[ he moves over to look at the posts and frowns. ]

So uh... how smart are these wolves or should we be looking for something else?

[afterburner]

I don't know, to either of those things. I mean, wolves can be kind of cunning and I suppose in a group effort they could do that...but it's equally likely something else broke it, nabbed a sheep, and the wolves are just being opportunistic...

[No, she doesn't like her train of thought, and makes a face about it, redoubling her efforts to repair the fence. Sometimes, this made her wish she had a different type of power. Sure, her array was handy, but being able to just change the fence's molecular structure to steel at a time like this? That'd be pretty cool.]

Ugh, this sucks! Maybe we should just...keep an eye out for something else, after we get the floofs in. I can scare the wolves off just fine by throwing kinetic knives at them, at least.
