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!

Comments

keep the speech patterns! I love it.

I had an instinct about it.

[ Gwen heads over to the girl as she speaks, her concern evident as she crouches and tries to check the girl for injuries without touching the child. She didn't know who this kid was, what her life was like, or if she had people here looking out for her. She wasn't going to upset her if she could avoid it. ]

Are you okay, kiddo? Should we get you some ice or something for those bruises?

[knifewithnoname]

[Well perhaps next time she can share her instincts, before they are too late. Still the girl just blinks up at her, doing her own assessments of her hurts. She might bruise in a few places but nothing is broken, nothing feels like it will hamper her movement, there's no blood. She's fine.]

Of course I do be being fine, they do just be being stupid balls.

[She's back on her feet and everything, tilting her head slightly. Since arriving on this train she has come across a lot of things she doesn't understand.]

What do ice cream be being? [A kind of medicine? Or an ointment to help bruising?]

[hibana_incursa]

Ice cream is the best stuff to eat when injured or upset, but it won't heal you. It's just a good distraction.

[ Gwen grins at the girl, crouching to pick up the runaway balls and stuffing the ones that'll fit into a small crate. The rest?

Well, she has her webshooters for a reason. It's just a quick aim and tap and there's a net inside the cabinet. Gwen drops more balls into that, shooting the girl a smile. ]

Help me get this cleaned up and well get ice cream in the dining car. It's sweet and cold and delicious, I promise.

[knifewithnoname]

[A good distraction. Sounds a bit useless but the girl nods anyways. She startles when the webs shoot out of the girls arm and the smile is met with wary caution.

She moves over to the net to poke it.] How did you be doing that?

[Ice cream and balls are forgotten for now.]
