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.
Library
As WangJi entered the car, he found not only a familiar face, but a small person running around as well. He sighed to himself, watching the tiny person for a long moment.
"Wen Ning. I suppose the train is up to no good?"
Library
He didn't want to crush him. It did have to return to the book, it seemed to be the most obvious thing. This whole situation reminded him of a cat trying to chase a mouse. Only, he wasn't making this a game.
"Have you been here for some time?" Wen Ning asked. He was realizing slowly that others form his world were among the train. He was glad too because he didn't just want Xue Yang for company.
no subject
Should kind of say how used to weird things he was.
"A few months."
no subject
He spotted the little rabbit and had he not been preoccupied he would have gone over to pet it. Returning the person back to it's book was the main priority before it could cause more damage.
no subject
Little Rabbit would still be there for petting later. He couldn't leave without WangJi. He knew who provided the food. Not to mention that this was a high jump even for a bunny and there was something strange running around...
WangJi knelt down once he'd gotten Little Rabbit settled, offering his hand to see if the tiny person would come over to him.
no subject
The little person approached WangJi and climbed up onto his hand. Wen Ning made a face of annoyance feeling somewhat betrayed. Perhaps, it was the Lightening Bearer's calm presence that lured him over. His own negative energy probably agitated the person more.
no subject
He was better at being calming now than he had been in his youth and this certainly proved it, how easily the figure had come to him.
"Shall we go back in the book? You can come back out another time."
He didn't know if that was true or not, but if it was, surely knowing it could come and go might be more incentive to not run around like crazy.
no subject
Wen Ning crossed his arms as he watched the little person agree to go back to it's book. If that had been his night hunt, he would have lost completely. Well, he wasn't going to be reading from this library until he learned it was safe to do so.
no subject
WangJi just had a nack apparently. Between being serious and commanding and also reassuring in his own way. WangJi carefully took the little man back over to the book so that he could return to his world.
