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!

And Peter just makes a face because it’s his turn to be disappointed now.

“No way man, that one was way too forced. Now you’re gettin’ nothin’ For Christmas.”

[schrodingersghost]

"Actually I'm really very okay with that." His last Christmas had involved ghosts and spending the better part of a day being trapped inside a poem and forced to rhyme everything he said.

Danny was not a Christmas fan.

[hashtagparkerluck]

Peter just shrugs because to each their own. Christmas was a special kind of hell for him since he’s now allergic to peppermint and that scent explodes all over Christmas come November.

“So, you obviously have powers too. I’m Peter. Peter Parker-also uh... Spider-Man. Nice to meet you.”

[schrodingersghost]

"Spider because webs?" He was kind of guessing at the theme here.

"I'm Danny Fenton. And, uh, right. Powers. Because ice." It occurs to Danny that he hadn't really thought this out.

[hashtagparkerluck]

"Uh.. no." He states matter-of-factly. "Actually, it's cause I got bit by a radioactive spider and now I can like stick to things and I'm super strong-I made the web fluid in chemistry." He waves it off like it's no big deal.

"How'd you get yours? Got a superhero name? ...Or a super villain name? I mean you really don't seem the type but I'm gonna be honest, I'm gonna be very hurt and emotionally scarred if you're a villain and we just made all those super cool puns together. I mean. That's like the ultimate betrayal."

[schrodingersghost]

Danny spares a moment to think that being bit by a radioactive spider sounded every bit as unlikely as being zapped by an interdimensional portal to the ghost zone, before panicking over how he really should have thought this through more.

"Lab accident," he blurts out. "And definitely not a villain." No matter what the local media and scientists and the government had to say about the matter.

But his mind draws a complete blank on a superhero name. "And I go by..., uh, Ice?"

[hashtagparkerluck]

Peter just nods because a lab accident sounds plausible enough what with all the supeheroes his world's got these days.

"Rough. That's how Dr Banner got his uh... hulk." Is the Hulk a superpower? He's more like a very, very angry dude bent on smashing. But he is the Hulk so who knows.

"Really? c'mon dude. You gotta think up something better than that-that's so... on the nose." like Spider-Man isn't.

[schrodingersghost]

"Uh, what's a hulk?" He was hoping he wasn't going to regret asking.

He shrugs. "All the good ice themed names are taken. And I'm not about to go around calling myself Frosty or Ice Man."

At least it wasn't as bad as InvisoBill, which he'd been stuck with for the first few months of his hero career.
