Test Drive Meme 001

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!

Aubergine Adventures

While not extraordinarily skilled at cooking, Bucciarati does know his way well enough around a kitchen. He also doesn't seem to be too bothered by the abundance of eggplants: there's a number of them that have been sliced and set aside, and his attention is focused on medium pot, while he leans against a wall, opposite the stove. From the smell of things, there's something tomatoey going on in that pot.

He also looks a touch bothered by his work, despite things seeming to be going just fine so far.

Mission Time

Bucciarati has been put with Team Three, which seems a touch out of place since he doesn't look like he has a handyman's bone in his body, but he's going fairly well at this, finding the broken pieces where applicable, and holding them together. Those of particularly strong wills will see a hovering blue and white man keeping close to him and punching the connection points. An open zipper briefly materializes before winding itself shut, restoring the broken fence post to its original state. The zippers linger for a bit after while the connection finishes, but fade within a few minutes. It's extremely unorthodox, to say the least - especially if one can't see his power, but it works!

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?

This was definitely a case of (mostly) faking it until one made it for Bucciarati - he spent a lot more time either eating at restaurants or at the homes of others than cooking for himself.

Renee's question brought him out of his frustrated focus, and he straightens up. His expression softens, and he shakes his head. "Not unless you can redirect this train to Italy," he says, taking a few steps forward to give what was in the pot a stir - a tomato sauce, if Renee looked in. "Though I'm not sure if better ingredients might offset my own lack of skill that much or not."

"Negative, Ghost Rider," she said, shaking her head. "I mean, if I could do that, we'd already be there--Italy might not be home, but at least it'd be on Earth, right?"

Really, Renee would take any Earth that was relatively close to what she was used to. It'd be a short flight back to America anyway--kind of hard to keep someone who could fly somewhere they didn't want to be.

"It doesn't smell wrong, if that helps. What're you trying to make? I mean, I've had chicken parmesan, and I know you can do eggplant parm...it smells better than microwave e-z meals resembling chicken parm, you know?" She was trying to be supportive. Hell, she'd try it!
