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.

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.

Comments

[jinlingers]

Really, being cheerful for them both is totally not necessary but it's probably unavoidable.

"Which question am I supposed to answer first?" Jin Ling asks dryly.

[deadwenwalking]

That gets another smile from Wen Ning. "You can answer the first one, then tell me which of the others you are or aren't." Though he might have asked quickly enough that it had been hard to follow. "O-or just tell me what you're interested in and anything you might need. To make it simple."

He's willing to cook if the boy wants, though there should be enough food readily availabe.

[jinlingers]

"I don't know what I want to see but I guess I'm kind of hungry..." Jin Ling exhales and he figures getting food couldn't hurt either way. Maybe some tea to settle him if it could.

[deadwenwalking]

That's something he can work with! Wen Ning smiles again, resisting the urge to pat the boy on the head. (It's the most difficult thing he's done all day.)

"The kitchen doesn't have everything, but... we'll see what they have! It's always changing." Is the boy picky? They'll see soon enough. He'll do his best to find something he likes regardless.

[jinlingers]

At least Jin Ling is fond enough that if he had or did in th e future he wouldn't immediately try to cut off Wen Ning's hand for the gesture.

Jin Ling's a little picky, spoiled, but he'll also try not to complain since it's Wen Ning.

"Why is it always changing?"

[deadwenwalking]

"I'm not sure. Perhaps the train is limited on what supplies it can get at any given time. Th-that doesn't mean we can't still find the basics, though!" Wen Ning gestures for Jin Ling to follow him, pleased to be able to take him somewhere even if it's somewhere relatively uninteresting.

"Sometimes they have food, even vegetables, that I've never seen before." What even are tomatoes? Are they a fruit? A vegetable? He keeps hearing conflicting answers but he does know they taste fine with a little bit of salt.

"What can I get for you? I can't promise they'll have your favorites, but I can look!"
