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!

Lucia ☾ Lunar: Eternal Blue

[eyesasblind]

[ Void Trecking ]

She stared out the window at the wild kaleidoscope of colors. She had a headache, yes, but she had somehow not actually deciphered the exact reason for it. So she just kept staring, wincing every so often at the pain in her head.

[ Sports Ball ]

As soon as Lucia opened the cabinet she was met with a deluge of balls. She barely had time to let out a frantic shriek before she was buried.

She flailed out from underneath the balls. A badminton birdie was tangled in her hair. She picked up a soccer ball and looked down at it in confusion. "What is this odd device?" she wondered.

[ A Whole New World ]

Anyone who's seen Lucia around on the train would immediately notice that she wasn't dressed in her usual ostentatious red gown. Somehow, the salespeople of this world had dragged her into their shops and stalls and talked her into buying whatever ridiculous clothing and jewelry they had for sale. Her arms were laden with shopping bags and she looked utterly lost.

"Are you alright?" Suzaku rushed into the carriage when he heard the clatter. There were balls everywhere, where had they even been? How had this happened? His attention is focused on the woman on the floor though. She doesn't look hurt from a brief glance but it is best to be sure.

"Are you hurt?"

[eyesasblind]

It took Lucia a moment to acknowledge Suzaku. She got to her feet and stared down at the ball she was holding.

"I am unhurt," she said simply. "What are these odd contraptions?"

[swordofzero]

"I'm glad." He looked her over once more, to check that she was indeed unhurt and rose to his feet.

"Contraptions? You mean the balls?"

There are people from many places on this train, but the idea of a place where even a simple thing as this does not exist is strange to Suzaku.

[eyesasblind]

"They are called 'balls'?" She tilted her head at Suzaku and then looked back down at the one she was holding. "What do they do?"

[swordofzero]

"Do?" He blinked at her, "On their own they don't do anything. But they are used for games, primarily."

Hopefully she knew what games were. He's not sure how he's even going to start explaining things if he has to start that basically.

A Whole New World

[enthunder]

Light would have charitably thought Lucia was dressed like that to purposefully blend in, except she looks so damn uncomfortable. And overburdened. She hesitated for just a second before brushing off the most recent vendor, changing direction, and heading for the other traveller.

"Hey, do you need any help?"

[eyesasblind]

Her eyes landed on Lightning and she looked a bit relieved to see someone else from the train. Even if she didn't really know her. She was still familiar in a way these aliens were not.

"Yes," Lucia said simply. She didn't elaborate. She assumed it was obvious enough.
