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!
Yoite | Nabari no Ou
Yoite entered the cinema and looked around vaguely. It wasn't that he was terribly interested in watching movies, but it was more interesting than sitting around doing nothing, and perhaps easier to avoid a large group of people that way.
He was so uninterested, in fact, he would scroll the list and hit one at random, before taking a seat up front to watch. Hopefully it wasn't animated, because that was going to be a lot harder to follow.
He wouldn't object to someone coming in to change the movie, either.
[Team One]
If one was looking for a partner who seemed fearless, that was Yoite. He wasn't afraid of spooky woods, for a variety of reasons, but instead he just charged forward, walking calmly, without an ounce of trepidation.
He might not notice his partner until they walk right up beside him. "Keep your ears open for cries." Yoite instructed, speaking quietly and his voice a bit muddled, glancing in their direction.
[Team Two]
A book was flying in the direction of a helpless villager and Yoite spun and kicked it out of the air. He had good reflexes, if nothing else. "Duck." He told the old woman, offering a bit of advice.
[Pumpkins]
Pumpkins were an interesting choice, in that Yoite couldn't remember ever having one.
He wasn't much of a cook, but he took a knife and cut into it, slicing himself a piece. It was a very odd thing. He was fairly certain Yukimi never brought one home to consume.
He brought it to his mouth and took a slimy bite.
Pum pum pumpkins~
...
"... Did you just bite into a raw pumpkin?" Gen asked with slightly wide eyes.
no subject
'...bite...pumpkin...' Yoite didn't catch all of it.
He raised his head slightly to look at Gen, glance briefly at the pumpkin and back to him.
"Is it yours?"
no subject
"No, you just caught me by surprise, my dear. I don't think anyone would've been brave enough to try that, back at home," Gen said, and offered him a curious little look. "How was it?"
no subject
Yoite didn't think raw pumpkin would become his favourite or anything. He turned away to rinse his hands in the sink so he could tuck them into the pockets of his hoodie, hopefully the other man had been too surprised to see the splotches across his fingers.
no subject
His eyes were sharp, though, and he saw those splotches.
That didn't mean he'd say anything about them, yet. He was curious about what they meant, though, and would continue to observe.
"If you're hungry, I could whip up something with a far better texture, at least," Gen offered brightly.
no subject
He moved back out of the way to let Gen at the supplies.
no subject
"We're going to take a short-cut, but this will have all the flavor we need. How do you feel about pumpkin pie?"
no subject
"You should make it to your tastes." He advised him, looking away for a moment, but he had to look back quickly enough.
no subject
Gen said, "It should still be delicious anyway, of course!"
It'd just need a lot of sugar, and he looked around until he found a large bag.
no subject
"I can't answer that question. You...have to use your own judgement."
no subject
So far, Gen had seen a lot on the train, and guessed there'd always be weirder and weirder.
no subject
"I can't taste it." Yoite admitted with a bit of a frown. "So...I can't tell you anything about it."
no subject
He looked at the other boy, considering him, wondering, but made that curiosity apparently about the food.
no subject
"I don't-" He didn't really have any food preferences, but...
"I like okonomiyaki." Yoite responded after a moment's thought, because Miharu made that for him.
no subject
Because, thinking about it, Gen mused, "I'm not sure if we have any cabbage ..."
no subject
no subject
"So, even if our featured ingredient right now was cabbage, instead of pumpkin ... if I made it for you, it wouldn't be the same," Gen observed, his tone a bit understanding.
no subject
"It...doesn't matter. Make what you like. I'll eat anything."
