[voidtreckermods]

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.

Happy testing!

Crisis On... An Aeroplane

The train has a game carriage and the VR video games are always popular. A good way to relive boredom as well as teaching some good skills.

Crisis on...This game can be played with two to four players. It is essentially a crisis simulator mixed with an escape room. You can chose the scenario (the bridge of a space ship, a camp in a jungle, a high rise building, a sailing ship etc) and you are thrown into the middle of a crisis of some kind. Teamwork and a cool head are important as is using the surroundings wisely.

Here you are the crew of a small aeroplane in desperate trouble and attempting to land, the wind is strong, your engines are straining and the visibility is near zero. Can your crew land safely?

Dressing up

The Voidtreckers have a new mission and the dressing carriage is open for their convenience...

The mission is taking them to a circus and the clothes sure reflect that. Clown costumes, glittery leotards, many feathers and an overabundance of sequins.

There is make up and facepaint provided as well, hopefully there are enough voidtreckers with expertise to make it look convincing.

Clowning Around

Strange happenings have been happening in Kilpi, a monster ridden land and joining a performing troupe is the best bet of protection outside of the small settlements. The voidtreckers are masquerading as one such troupe, in order to help out a small settlement that has seen a spate of killings. Voidtreckers must put on the show of their lives, investigate the killings and bring peace back to the town.

Team One

Setting up the stage for the performance is a good time for building bonds with the towns people. Everyone knows something, no matter how small and they are more likely to gossip with stage hands than talk to the town guard.

Gather information, set up a stage and get ready for the show.

Team Two

The killings always happen in the evening or at night, always when people are alone. So making sure people are not alone is the task of team two. The show is ready, it is big, it is loud and hopefully enough to draw in the whole town.

Eat fire, juggle, walk that tightrope. Music plays, sequins glitter. The show is a distraction and their task is to be the best distraction they can be.

Team Three

Whilst team two are distracting it is team threes chance to catch the killer. The streets are deserted, quiet and stealth is necessary to remain undetected.

Most people are at the show, but not everyone. Are they in danger? Or are they potential suspects.

Re: meow

[kabano]

[She stares back, curious, and with a soft little meow. The people here are so very...odd. Not at all like what she's used to in Shinjuku. Most of them would just ignore her.

After a moment, she takes a few cautious steps forward and sniffs at the glow on his leg. What is that?]

[helborn]

[The glow fades, but he pulls up his pant leg. It's... clearly not flesh - it's some kind of ivory-colored metal with Norse runes carved on it.]

It lets me do a few things... seeing how powerful someone is happens to be one of those things. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have pried... I could just tell you weren't a normal cat.

[He offers a hand to her, as if to shake.]

I'm Casper. I... uh. In my world I'm a demigod, technically.

[kabano]

[How very...odd. And she wonders what he'd seen of her.

She sniffs at his fingers for another second, then drops the cat shape entirely. If only she could have a conversation that way.]

Casper the demigod. Stuck in a place like this.

[helborn]

[Oh. That's more convenient. He's not bothered by the transformation.]

Yeah... I was stuck in a similar place before, though not on a train. We were just kind of in a place between worlds and got sent there directly instead of needing to go to a platform.

Anyway, what's your name?

[kabano]

How disheartening. Here I'd thought I wasn't able to leave.

[There's a short, almost imperceptible pause before she answers his question.]

Yurine.

[helborn]

[Hm. Interesting.]

Nice to meet you.

[He holds his hand out to her to shake, but will drop it if she doesn't seem to be into that.]

Well, I didn't come here on purpose... I was kind of trying to get to my boyfriend's world. And here a lot of my abilities that relate to moving between worlds and shaping the stuff in liminal spaces seems to have been shut off, which is... annoying.

[kabano]

[Oh, that's a human gesture right? She pauses for a moment but clasps his hand briefly once she realizes what it's there for.]

They want us trapped. Why make it easier for us?

[helborn]

[He shakes her hand briefly before pulling it away.]

Yeah, I kind of figured. It's still really annoying... I don't mind my roommates, but I miss being able to create my own room.

[kabano]

Doors go both ways. IF they can't control both, then you'll get neither.
