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!

Mix It Up

Normally, the morning announcement has you waking up in your designated bed, in your designated cabin, with your three designated roommates. This morning, something's wrong - you're waking up in a bed, in a cabin, with three roommates. But it isn't your bed, your cabin, or your roommates.

It looks like you've all been shuffled during the night. Pity no one's belongings got the memo, you don't recognise any of this stuff. At least you're in your own pyjamas.

Let Slip The Hot Dogs Of War

The carriage-length table and benches of the dining carriage are practical. Sturdy. Easy to clean. It's a good thing, too, because roughly thirty seconds ago, a handful of boiled vegetables went flying across the room and hit someone with a wet splat.

Twenty-nine seconds ago, war was declared.

One overturned bench and three pots of cabbage later, you've picked a side. Or a side has picked you, with a projectile sailing towards your face.

Follow Your Heart

The glittering, futuristic world of Tresques has long been protected by the Ciel Maidens, young women who wield their mighty empathic abilities to subdue and pilot gigantic mechanical monsters called Arc Frames. Now, with disaster on the horizon, their powers have vanished.

Team One

The primary foes of the Ciel Maidens are the Morne, hulking many-limbed shadows born from the nightmares and fears of the people of Tresques. Intangible, they roam the cities feeding on heightened emotions and stirring ill thoughts. Granted emergency Ciel badges and the use of the Arc Frames, team one are to combat the Morne wielding happiness, friendship and love as their weapons. Miniskirts are optional.

Team Two

Camille, ace of the Ciel Maidens, has disappeared, after sealing the empathic powers of the entire order to avoid the loss of any more Maidens to tragedy such as that killed her partner and destroyed their Arc Frame. Team two, based in the order headquarters, are to find out as much as they can about the fate of her beloved, find Camille, and convince her to unseal the powers of the Ciel Maidens.

Team Three

The Ciel Maidens have scattered to the far reaches of Tresques, seeking to restore their own powers and their confidence in themselves and each other. Some are so affected as to have birthed Morne of their own, the creatures possessing the Arc Frames and wreaking havoc. Team three are to search for the Maidens and bring them home.

I was having such a good dream, too.

[ Kirika walks up to the door and....kicks it. With her bare foot. ] Stupid train!!!

[wishalone]

[Voice completely flat:] Oh, yeah... That'll show it... I'm sure it'll think twice before messing with us again.

[yanderipper]

It better....

[ .....

Kirika turns, comprehension and petulance dawning simultaneously. ] Hey!

[wishalone]

[Okay, that reaction's priceless. Kyoko snickers.]

Go ahead, give it a shove next. Prove that if it pushes us around, you'll push right back!

[yanderipper]

You're making fun of me, aren't you?!

[ Yes, she has to ask. ]

We're in the same boat, so don't treat me like a child!!

[wishalone]

Relax. Who said anything like treating you like a kid? I just thought it was funny.

As far as I'm concerned, there isn't anything we can do about it, so why get worked up about it? And it's really not that big of a deal. We can just walk back to our rooms, no problem.

[yanderipper]

[ Oh! That they can, can't they? This changes EVERYTHING. ]

Guess so......I really didn't want my dream to be over, though. Maybe I'll go kick out whoever's in my bed and get back to it.

[wishalone]

That's the spirit. I'm sure they won't be too happy to wake up in somebody else's bed, either.

Honestly... I might go back to bed, myself... I hate waking up early.

Rrgh... Except... I'm kinda hungry...

[yanderipper]

[ Kirika had been trying to remember which direction these doors open when Kyoko had to go and say that. Which makes her stomach growl. ]

I am too............

[ oh no, what will she do?? she can't get back to her dream like this!! ]

[wishalone]

[Kyoko sighs a big, dramatic sigh that's only half faked.]

Well... Come on, I guess. We can go scrounge up some breakfast, and then go back to sleep...

I'm Kyoko, by the way.

[yanderipper]

Kirika!

[ If they're getting food, she may as well smile. ]

Oh, I might not remember yours, don't take it personally. I do that.
