Test Drive 017

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!

Pumpkin Patch


It seems the ingredient of the month is pumpkins. The store room is full of them, in all sort of sizes all ready to be made into delicious meals. Pumpkin soup, roasted pumpkin seeds, stuffed pumpkin, pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin pie. All the recipes are on the ICP and are easy enough to follow, even for those who have never seen a pumpkin before in their life.

Get cooking or perhaps passengers from worlds with Halloween festivals wish to carve the pumpkins first, creating grotesque faces or fancy works of art.

Hopefully no one eats a masterpiece!


Movie Wars


The Cinema carriage is as tall as a double carriage, but has only the one floor. Instead it features sloped seating. To enter the carriage from the sleeper carriage side you must first go upstairs. You enter at the top of the carriage, in the centre aisle with paired seating sloping downwards on either side. On the opposite wall there is a large screen and there is a door to the left of the screen once you get to ground level, to allow you into the next carriage.

On the right of the screen there is an ICP and in this carriage it has a catalogue of films and TV series. There are hundreds to chose from.


Hundreds of films to chose from and hundreds of passengers to share it with. Choosing what to watch can be difficult, agreeing what to watch can be impossible.

Are they a fan of Merry Little Voidtrain- the long running cartoon series about a Voidtrain and captain Kheli. Or perhaps a hard hitting drama about cross alien-species romance. Or an action film? A heal tapping musical about robot mice?

Choose a film, try not to argue, grab some popcorn and hope your fellow cinema goers understand cinema etiquette...

Spookstown


A series of mysterious events have struck a small town. The Voidtreckers are in need of help.

The train has brought the Voidtreckers to the town of Carcel. It is a small town with a small population in a world that is low in technology. A town of cobbled streets lined with gas lanterns. The occasional carriage drawn by strange creatures with six legs and long necks. The town is far away from any of the larger population centres of the world and yet it is here where the Voidtreckers must help.

A series of strange disappearances have rocked the town. People vanishing, sometimes from the streets but more recently from their own homes. To make matters worse the town is plagued by ghosts, invisible yet dangerous. They attack by manipulating the environment, throwing knives, tables and even people across a room. The town has descended into chaos and are in desperate need of help.



Team One

There has been some investigation into the missing people and there have been rumours of cries for help in the woods.

A thick, dark, slightly scary woods. The townspeople who are left have lanterns to borrow and promises that the path is safe and easy to follow. Don't worry about that howling, it's just the wind...

Team One must make their way through the woods to find the missing townspeople. Unfortunately for the Voidtreckers the cries and calls for help don't come from the safe paths and so they must move through the undergrowth to find the lost and confused townspeople. What's that creaking noise? Is that a shadow? What lurks in the bushes?


Team Two

Back in the village team two must try and help the villagers who are plagued by ghosts. The ghosts roam around unhindered by walls or doors. Sometimes they are just mischievous, blowing out lanterns, knocking books off shelves. Other times they are violent, throwing objects, throwing people, locking people in or out of their houses.

Protecting people against invisible enemies is no easy task. Help the town gather together, set up barricades, try and hide any dangerous objects before they can be used against the townspeople.

Or perhaps try out some traditional ghostbusting techniques. What harm can it do?

Team Three

Of course all this must have been caused by something. It seems some of the towns teenagers had found a strange cave in their ramblings not a week before. It had been full of strange objects, small gems, daggers, ancient books.

All the sort of things that probably should not be taken from their ancient resting place but of course someone had taken something. Maybe. Few of the teenagers are willing to talk and those that do are unwilling to get their friends into trouble.

Investigate, try and convince them to do the right thing. Round up the items that have been taken and return them to the cave. Hopefully that will end this nightmare!

[STORAGE CARRIAGE: LOOK AT ALL THOSE PUNKINS] (cw: mentions of blood-drinking)

[It's been months since Daichi has had to think about regular people food, but with few other options on how to get a meal, he's presently chosen to give the stuff another shot. Even back home where only blood would suffice, he would still indulge every now and then anyway, so he sees little harm in giving it a chance. At worst, he'll end up sick by dawn, right?

So this man, this vampire, enters the store room at about three in the morning, and he's met with an army of pumpkins.]


...wonder what month it is, mm?

[Though he would seem alone, a resounding squeak answers his cheeky murmuring. The squeaking grows louder as Daichi approaches one of the tables, at which it would seem someone had been delicately gutting a pumpkin before appearing to have been called away. His eyes skim over the organised mess for but a moment, but his company has other plans, as an incomprehensible mass of pink and white wriggles ravenously out of his jacket and launches itself at the fresh pickings.]

Ah! Peridot! [After that baby!]


[TEAM THREE: SILVER TONGUE, SNAKE EYES]

[If some of his more recent endeavours back home have taught Daichi anything, it is that children are a pain in the ass, evidenced clearly now by the reported guilty parties involved in the haunted cave thefts abruptly clamming up when the town needs them most. He understands himself to be the more persuasive between Vyrno and himself, and though Vyrno is far from here, the fact still fills him with the necessary confidence to confront some of these rowdy teens.

Confidence, however, does not equal patience.]


Come now, child, [one will hear Daichi sigh through clenched teeth,] the safety of your fellow folks ought to be more urgent than any scolding! Besides, I'm sure everyone would be quite relieved with you if you cooperated...!

[The kids don't budge.] Really... Time is of the essence here, you know...!


[WILDCARD: hit me with whatever tbh, I'm here to have a good time!]

Let's put it this way.

[The tone of the brunette wizard beside Daichi is much blunter.]

How would you feel if someone went through your stuff, and took whatever they wanted just because it looked neat?

[Nita, though she may or may not look it now, wasn't a teenager all that long ago.

More to the point, she has a younger sister.]
lullabile: (i believe you've posted cringe my friend)

[personal profile] lullabile 2020-10-18 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[The more direct relation earns a variety of grumbles from the kids they've managed to corral, some frustrated, others conceding. In the moment the heat is off of him, Daichi allows himself a much gentler, calming sigh.]

It would upset you, right? The same goes for these spectres; they're simply upset for having lost what they treasure. You would want your belongings returned, yes?

"Yeah, but what do a bunch of dead people need with this stuff?"

[Excellent. Superb.] That's beside the point...!
unfavorableinstigation: Nita looking right, holding a book. (I'm In The Book)

[personal profile] unfavorableinstigation 2020-10-18 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
If they're still here, then that's what matters; if they weren't part of this world anymore, then nothing would have happened - except-

[Nita adds, because it can never hurt to add additional warnings...]

If there was, say, fungus or bugs left on those objects, you'd have brought those home, too.
lullabile: (you're so funny!)

[personal profile] lullabile 2020-10-18 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[A handful of the teens make disgusted faces, and a few even begin to nod.]

"I think they're right--"

"It's for the best..."

"You think I'm scared of some bugs?"
[One remains unconvinced.

Daichi thinks things over for a moment.]
Well... You certainly seem to be scared enough of some ghosts. How's that for some harmless bugs?

[The child opens their mouth to protest, but they find themselves quickly shut down by their peers, urging them to "just give it up already" and cooperate. One by one, the teenagers steel themselves and head off to retrieve the items they stole.

It is in this moment of quiet and calm that Daichi allows himself to smile with relief.]
I'm not sure I would've gotten much progress had you not chimed in. I'm incredibly grateful for your help.
unfavorableinstigation: Nita working with a Kernel (Wizardry Is Kid Stuff)

[personal profile] unfavorableinstigation 2020-10-18 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[Nita, too, relaxes once the kids start filing out.]

We tag-teamed it; don't be down on yourself, okay? We all have our strengths.

[She winks.]

Still, I'm glad to pitch in where I can. I've managed worse attitudes before.

[Not even counting her experience on the train...]

If asked, Nita could confirm the trees' appreciation - though for the most part they seemed reluctant to whisper even to each other.

Seems that it wasn't just the humans who'd been getting the creeps this week.

"Yeah," Nita replies, shifting her pack across her shoulders.

"Not quite that way, though. You think it's echoes, or...?"

Or a trap. They could never discount that option, not when people were already being put in danger.
lullabile: (put your life in my hands)

[personal profile] lullabile 2020-10-18 04:45 pm (UTC)(link)
It would seem my social skills need some sharpening; I'm normally much better at this. [But as if to swear he's taking the woman's words to heart, he tacks a chuckle onto his trailing.]

My apologies, have we met before? I can't seem to put a name to your face. My name's Daichi, if we haven't.

"I knew Allen Walker from another place that pulls people from their home worlds, and he's got a saiyan-level appetite, too," said Bulla with a little chuckle. "So I thought if I was going to help out, I should probably make a lot."

It was Bulla's first time making anything with pumpkin, but none of the recipes seemed too hard, and if she had two other people to help her, then it means someone was guaranteed to be able to take things out of the oven at the exact right time.

"This will go faster if we each pick something we're going to focus on. We'll need one person to make the pie crusts, one person to mash the pumpkins up, and one person to mix things together and put them on the pie crusts to bake. I can either mash the pumpkins or mix. I've never tried making a pie crust before."

When in doubt, hang out around the Insomnia Club. Way too many of us are young, but if you like playing cards, you'll definitely pick up new tricks.

[And Nita was not the best poker player in her circle of friends, so she could use it.

Nita offers a forgiving smile.]

Mine's Nita, and it's even odds all we've done is pass each other in the hall before! Happens way too often, but...

[She shakes her head, as off in the distance the kids argue about who had brought which ancient-looking book or coveted shiny doodad.]

The train's definitely always packed.

Bulla suspected that ki attacks might be able to hit ghosts, but she didn't want to risk blasting holes through people's walls to test that theory.

"Kind of. But also we could try getting them a pen and paper. If they can pick things up to throw them, they should be capable of picking up the pen and drawing on the paper. Or we could write 'yes' and 'no' on the paper and get them something to point with instead while we ask questions."

It was entirely possible that the ghosts would just throw things at them instead. There was no guarantee this would work. It was something to try, nothing more.

As Bulla sees it, for Ken, this counts as educational material. Or at the very least, a perfect primer for bringing up the prospect of giving him a makeover at some point in the future.

"Come on, it'll be great! Have a seat."

She gestures to the spot on the other side of the big popcorn bowl.

[personal profile] fashionably_strong 2020-10-18 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Bulla knows that look. Her father is bored out of his mind in this place, and it's annoying him. She doesn't let herself be deterred by his blatant disinterest in helping. Even having grown and matured in other worlds, she's still ultimately his little girl. Which means she has a gift for convincing him to do things he otherwise never would.

"People who help get first dibs on the end result~" she teased. "Do you really want to take the chance of being tenth in line?"

misterbriefs: (You're lying to me.)

[personal profile] misterbriefs 2020-10-18 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh no, I know this little game you're trying to play. So what if I'm tenth in line. If you run out, you're going to have to make more, now aren't you."

He steps into the kitchen, arms crossed, unimpressed with her attempt. He eyes some of the components to the pie she was preparing to make. He's no cook, but he knows he can eat all of that to himself and then some.
fashionably_strong: art by unknown, if this is yours let me know and I'll credit (yeah whatever)

[personal profile] fashionably_strong 2020-10-18 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
"Nope, because I only volunteered to do some cooking, not to cook for everyone here! So you might have to wait around for someone else to cook if you aren't going to help now...and they probably won't make enough for a saiyan appetite."

While she would feel a little bad for anyone dealing with her father while he was simultaneously hungry and irritable about the lack of training options, she's trying to prove a point about helping out here.

"Besides, it's not like you have anything better to do right now, so you might as well help me."
misterbriefs: (This guy is really annoying.)

[personal profile] misterbriefs 2020-10-18 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
His mouth turns up in disgust; how dare she suggest he has nothing to do, he has plenty to do. Like being angry about having nothing to do, or complaining to himself that everything on this train is completely inadequate in every way to have something to do. It's not his fault.

He stomps into the kitchen farther, looking around for an apron to avoid looking like a sloppy mess after this ordeal is over. If he must, he'll cook with dignity, and no amount of flour will keep him from achieving that.

"Fine, fine. I'll help. But I won't forget this."

He picks up a whisk and shakes it at her, to drive the point in, even if he never holds her accountable for this obvious transgression.
fashionably_strong: (tee hee)

[personal profile] fashionably_strong 2020-10-18 06:30 pm (UTC)(link)
"Great!" She gestures to the pumpkins that she's cut open but hasn't scooped out all the guts and seeds. "You can start with scooping out all the seeds and stuff."

While triumphant, she decides she might as well offer him some form of thanks for his help.

"We can train together for a little while after we're done and have had something to eat."

Though she's hardly strong enough to push him to his limits, she's at least strong enough to make him exert some effort. Which reminds her...she hasn't really gone into details about the other worlds she'd been to beyond the one they'd been on together. Only that she'd been to more worlds than just the one where they'd fought the Third Party and dealt with the shenanigans of the Malnosso. Focusing on their present circumstances seemed like the best thing for now.

"I'm stronger than the last time we sparred."
misterbriefs: (Default)

[personal profile] misterbriefs 2020-10-18 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
He stares down at the pumpkins. How far has he truly fallen to have found himself scooping out the innards of vegetables. He jams the biggest metal spoon he can find into the first one with such force that it almost threatens to explode the entire pumpkin.

"Are you now. I'll be the judge of that."

Another chunk of pumpkin goes flying into the trash. He won't pretend to like it.
fashionably_strong: (excited)

[personal profile] fashionably_strong 2020-10-18 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
"At the very least, I know some moves now that you've never seen me use before. One of the other worlds I was in had a military school that taught magic and lots of other combat styles. You'll be happy to know that I got really good grades in everything except for magic. I specialized in hand to hand combat and communications!"

Maybe he'll be a little less grumpy about helping with the pumpkins if she tells him about the adventures she's had in those other worlds. At the very least, it's something to talk about that doesn't highlight their current situation.

"It's really fascinating how these little pockets of the multiverse exist, isn't it?"
misterbriefs: (Oh really now?)

[personal profile] misterbriefs 2020-10-18 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"Good to know that not every universe is as much as a hell as the last one I was in."

Fascinating, sure, but welcome is another story. Wherever he is now is much more favorable in some ways, but that was never certain- he truly didn't know what he could expect from this situation.

"But to even to go as far as force you to go to military school- how amusing. The one place I could never imagine you being in. We'll see if their education was any good."

Not that he doubted that she'd do incredibly well, because he knew she would and is not surprised at all that she got good grades. She's a saiyan after all, his daughter of all things, destined for greatness just as much as he was. It put him in a slightly better mood, a subtle smirk on his face as he almost completely destroys another pumpkin.

She's insistent, so who is Ken to refuse?

"...Thank you."

He takes his seat. His posture is excellent.

And the bug that had been hitching a ride on his back is crawling up over his shoulder to peer at the screen, too.

"Hey, what's this show about? Is it scary?"

Not that they would have a problem if they were going to watch a scary show! No! No, that would not be a problem at all!

Wormmon is merely curious!

Gen considered a moment, with a thoughtful hum, and then went into the cupboard for some canned pumpkin. (There was pumpkin of all kinds, after all, on the train at the moment). He gave Yoite a playful grin.

"We're going to take a short-cut, but this will have all the flavor we need. How do you feel about pumpkin pie?"
fun_thementalist: (see what you did there)

[personal profile] fun_thementalist 2020-10-18 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Before long, the actual ending of the movie was playing out, and it involved some kind of alien blue beam from the sky and more explosions and robots. Gen liked the design of the robots, anyway. They just looked neat.

He glanced at his new movie-watching companion as the film's hero was receiving his accolades, and asked him curiously, "So, what would you be interested in watching next?"

"Cassie, I think you've probably had the more 'normal' upbringing of us, so maybe you should do pie-crusts? I'll either mash, or mix, depending on what you wanna do Bulla." Trunks usually did dishes, not cook, but mashing and mixing he was pretty sure he could do.
nutkrusher: (And Don't I Know It)

[personal profile] nutkrusher 2020-10-18 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
"I was just gonna say you seem more like the mashing type," Cassie says.

"Haven't done it much myself, but I watched my aunt closely enough."
