Test Drive Meme 016
Welcome to the Test Drive Meme! Here is the place to see how your character might fit the setting, grab samples and have fun!
1. Post with your character, including their name and series in the subject. We’ve written out some prompts but feel free to make up your own, you have a whole train to play with!
2. Assume they've been around long enough for threads to jump right into the action.
3. Have lots of fun. Mandatory, mod-sanctioned fun.
Happy testing!
Silence in the Library
The library is a double carriage. Downstairs is brightly-coloured, with cover posters across the walls, tables and chairs in the strong colours of the team uniforms, and a wooden model train placed as though winding its way through the carriage with carriages of shelves in tow. The walls are shelving, and beanbags litter the floor. Upstairs is quieter, rows of nonfiction shelves with private desks at the end of each row; the sound up here is muffled.
You don't know who, you don't know why, but someone or something has had a bad power day. How do you know? Well, the fact that the characters of any book you read keep coming to life as tiny versions of themselves and running riot around the carriage... that might have been a clue.
You just wish you'd picked a different book before realising it.
An Apple a Day
Medical is another double carriage, though it boasts one of the few person-sized lifts on the train as well as stairs. On the bottom floor, two of the three rooms are examination rooms, with simple beds, equipment and first-aid capacity. The third is a surgical bay, albeit a simpler one than some passengers may anticipate. All three rooms have ICPs with instructions and manuals for all equipment and a number of medical procedures.
Upstairs, there are four private recovery rooms, with a medical bed and an accessible en-suite. It's possible to check a passenger into one of these rooms, at which point they cannot leave until discharged by the person who checked them in.
Which, unfortunately, you are entirely aware of. You've been here for three days, and you're climbing the walls. But that'll teach you to get injured in such a stupid way. Or so they hope.
Sprockets and Skysong
In which a train arrives among the smokestacks of Little Underpool with some unexpected visitors.
Little Underpool is a township on Void world #30630687444. Caught up in the middle of what appears to be a series of industrial revolutions, the world is in a state of constant, chaotic innovation. Currently, that means that there is a power struggle going on between the skywhaling megacorporation Scrimshaw Inc and the Zephyr Company, an airship manufacturer, over control of the skies above Underpool, and the rapidly diminishing population of skywhales, whose bones are used in most modern airships, and whose blood is a key fuel source for a great number of new devices and engines. The voidtreckers are, this mission, to rescue the whales, rather than any humanoids.Team One
Infiltrating Scrimshaw Inc, this team's job is to sabotage the tracking drones used to locate the whale pods, to allow the great beasts to migrate successfully away from Underpool. The offices of the corporation are in a series of spiralling brass and bone towers in the centre of the town, connected by exposed cable bridges that run to dizzying heights. Their clockwork guards are numerous, but often faulty, and highly vulnerable to tinkering.Team Two
This team's job is to hijack some of the Zephyr Company's airships, and use them to defend the whale pods closest to Underpool. Several pods contain whale calves, and cannot evacuate as fast as the larger bachelor groups. The airships are light, and handle well, but their oddly organic design can be rather unsettling. The primary weapons are harpoons and short-range bomb slings, both as deadly against other airships as they are against their original targets.Team Three
The final team's task is less direct - they must go among the populace of Underpool and spread unrest, redirecting the attention of the people towards the plight of their nonhuman neighbours in the sky, and the wrongdoings of their resident megacorporations. The people are not aware that the whales are an entirely sentient species, which appears to be a deliberate obfuscation by the town's council and sponsors. Your job is to change that.

... I don't think I'd believe that if I hadn't been to the world of Duel Monsters already. Partners...
[Looking down at Wormmon!]
So this guy would be your partner, then?
no subject
[ Wormmon looks up from examining Needle Worm, though he seems hesitant to place this card on the pile. ] Nice to meet you!
And I'm Ken.
[ Who doesn't always remember to introduce himself unless prompted. And who is also smiling. At Rei. ] It's a pleasure.
no subject
[She's watching Wormmon, though... What's the term for this? Ugly-cute? She won't say that out loud, though...]
If you want to keep the card, you can, Wormmon.
no subject
[ Wormmon's eyes get even rounder. ] Thank you!!
[ Ken is now watching Wormmon too, and smiling. ] We can display it in our bunk.
Gyaheheee....
[ Wormmon giggles to himself and puts Needle Worm down somewhere it won't accidentally get sorted away. Then he starts "helping" again. ] Ken-chan, you should make a deck and win with it!
[ Ken blinks. ]
...of Duel Monsters?
[ Nod nod nod nod. Wormmon wants to watch Ken-chan beat everyone at this game! With BUGS!
That would be cool, and totally a possible thing to do! RIGHT, REI?!??!??!?! ]
no subject
Oh, aren't you confident? I'm pret-ty strong, you know.
If you want, though, I'll even make a new deck for playing you. Since it would be really unfair to use my deck against cards this old...
[She just. Gonna pat Wormmon's head. Cute bug.]
You don't have a Duel Disk, though, right? Maybe we can borrow one from the others for you.
no subject
Wait. More importantly. ]
The others?
[ WORMMON GOT A PAT! IT WAS NOT AS GOOD AS A KEN-CHAN PAT BUT IT WAS STILL A PAT! TODAY IS GOOD AFTER ALL! ]
no subject
[And then there's Wester, too, she guesses? Who she'd never heard of. The others, though.]
no subject
[ Ken considers these implications. The Voidtrecker Express can grab people from any world - and, what's more, from any point on the chronology of that word. It truly is a powerful force.
And it thinks there's something that all of them can do. That he can do, alongside this group. Ken will live up to that. ]
It's good you have each other.
no subject
[She's a bit too honest, but it's how she feels.]
I mean... I never met any of them before this? And they're super famous. So, 'have each other'... Doesn't seem right? We just happen to be from the same place.
no subject
[ Ken looks thoughtful - he'd gotten ahead of himself, and that isn't a great sensation, to say nothing of these memories - but it fades into a wistful smile. ]
You may not know each other right now. But you were given this chance to get to know each other. Not from up on a pedestal, but riding the same train.
I think there's meaning in that.
[ .....Ken-chan, you think there's meaning in everything, but Wormmon is too distracted by HOW COOL KEN-CHAN IS BEING to worry his partner is doing the overthink-thing. ]
no subject
I'd like it better if my beloved Judai was one of the ones here, though!
[And she says that name and immediately you can practically see the hearts floating off of her... This girl is a disaster.]
no subject
[ ken
no ]
no subject
Judai! He's the best duelist I've ever met, and he's so nice, and he's always so positive! He's the coolest guy in the world...
no subject
Ken-chan, what's with this girl?
[ They're both kinda quiet, though. So if Rei wanted to keep going.... ]
no subject
[Immediately puffing up to pout at Wormmon.]
no subject
But Ken-chan is the coolest guy in the world! Any world he's in, he's the coolest!
Wormmon, isn't that subjective....?
[ The coolest guy in any world he's in is so, so sorry, Rei. ]
no subject
[Rei are you really arguing about this with a worm
rei please]
no subject
[ Wormmon's mandibles are clicking together, he is so huffy about this. Do your worst, lady! This is a completely different matter from how happy he was to get that trading card!
NOBODY can beat Ken-chan at niceness!!!
Case in point: how he's currently hovering, not sure how to interrupt this conversation because it involves inserting himself and he can't find a good spot! Ken-chan IS SUPER NICE!! ]
no subject
[She's got the full-blown aura of hearts. run.]
no subject
That's no big deal! Every day, no matter how tasty the food looks, Ken-chan feeds me FIRST! And he takes me on vacations, and -
[ What is something to show that Ken-chan is kind to everyone and not just him. ]
He visits home every weekend in college!
Um....
