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!

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

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.
