Welcome to our Test Drive Meme! Here is the place to see how your character might fit the setting, grab some samples and start having fun!

1. Post with your character. I’ve written out some prompts but feel free to make up your own, you have a whole train to play with!

2. Assume they have been around long enough for threads to jump right into the action!

3. Have much fun!

Happy testing!

Crisis On… A Zoo!

The train has recently gained a game carriage and the VR video games are proving 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.

Ready? Your team is at a zoo where someone is sabotaging things. Animals keep escaping from their cages and you have to figure out ways to lure them back and make the pens secure. All that whilst finding and solving clues to find the culprit before the lions escape and it’s game over!

Dressing Up

Your upcoming mission involves infiltrating a courtly function so combat trousers and hoodies will not do! Fear not though, the dressing room provides.

Ball gowns, fancy suits, wigs, splendid capes. These are perhaps not the most historically accurate costumes but let’s hope no one notices the stitch is slightly wrong!

Be as fancy as you wish or try and keep it subtle, you are meant to be infiltrating after all. Help figure out fastenings. There are even some instructions for fancy hairstyles if you want to go all out!

Courtly Chaos

Someone is trying to assassinate a king at the biggest event in the kingdom. Your job, voidtreckers, is to stop this from happening. You are at court, there is a party. Food and wine are plentiful but you have a job to do.

Team One

Someone knows something. Investigate, question, follow suspicious characters. Be subtle but try and make contacts and foil this plot before it comes to fruition.

Team Two
Can the knights even be trusted? The king needs to be protected whatever the cost. Stay close. Try not to be too obvious. Watch for threats and try not to attack any innocent courtiers who approach the king!

Team Three

Almost as important as protecting the king is protecting his reputation. The show must go on, the courtiers must not know the king is in danger. It would cause panic, distrust, could rip the court apart.

Your job is distraction, keep the party goers’ attentions so they do not notice the work of the other teams!

Courtly Chaos, Team Three

I'm sorry. Wait. Just.... did you tell Najaran that there is a huge party, with a ton of food... and her job... her actual TASK is to be distracting?

You might have wanted to make sure she heard anything other than the words distraction and food. Too late now, of course, but good to know for the future. Najaran got herself all dressed up like one of the guests, to act like one of them. She missed Gooligan, but then... he would have seen what she was planning and would have stopped her. So maybe she didn't miss him THAT much....

Her one item from home was her set of Cards, and she built her book perfectly for the party. She was trying to be good, she lanaged a whole ten minutes before she couldn't wait for the signal any longer and descended upon the food table. She was gobbling, and rudely enough that she was being somewhat distracting. Mostly though people were wondering how someone so small could pack away so much so quickly. Though she did eventually realize she was meant to be a DISTRACTION. She reached behind her and grabbed a number of cards. "Come on out, everyone!" She tossed the cards in the air and a number of odd creatures came out of them like they were pokeballs - though the cards seemed to vanish rather than coming back to her hand empty. There were two Eidolon, one Gremlin, and of course an upright bipedal cat in a red cloak. The odd group landed on the table to join in the rather messy feast. She would have loved to feed Knight, Gargoyle, and Thunderbeak, but... they were a little large for this place. They were also, sadly, a little (a LOT) large for the train. She'd have to take them out after for some fun.

But Najaran for the moment has now fully forgotten there was a plan and is happily eating with her friends. While on the one hand this is a good way to see what Knights are loyal and which are allowing this chaos... on the other hand, someone might want to save her before she's arrested. You know. Again.

On the train - Laundry duty

No one cares who does which chores, so long as they all get done, right? Right! So Najaran is kicked back at a table, eating some yummy cake she found in the dining car - hope that didn't belong to anyone? - while her Eidolon were doing the washing and her Gremlin was running deliveries, and poor Knight was all hunched over, folding. But hey, it beat peeling po-ta-toes? Right?

Mako is part of the protection team, but right now it seems there's nothing too serious going on...so while the rest of the team has his back, he heads over to see what's going on with the girl and her companions. They don't seem quite like Duel Monsters or Pokemon, though Eidolon's appearance is weirdly familiar...he has a slight stern frown on his face as he speaks.

"Are you trying to stand out? Because you're certainly breaking quite a few rules of etiquette."

She looked up, about to shove a huge slice of cake in her own mouth, and blinked. Was she in trouble? No, wait, she was told to be a distraction. So breaking the rules was a good thing. Was this one of the people she was supposed to distract? She wasn't sure. So she fell back on her tried and true strategy. Playing stupid. "This food isn't free?" she asked, confused. The confusion was real, just not the question that caused it.

He's mostly not sure if she has an actual plan, here. And he sighs a little at her question. "Technically, it is, for any guests. But generally you're expected to ration it. Also, I doubt the organizers planned for all your companions as well." Now that he's closer, he's trying to get a better look at them, trying to tell just how solid/biological they are.

She took another bite as she considered. Was this being distraction enough? She hoped so.

"Oh, is this one of those places that is prejudiced against Cepters?" she asked, hoping to give any other Cepters a heads up to sneak out if it was. She could handle being arrested, she'd been arrested for being a Cepter before. But so long as no one did anything stupid like trying to save her she could escape. Probably. After all, they couldn't make her unsummon her monsters. She could have her friends flee to the train, except Gremlin, and have him break her out when everyone was asleep. They couldn't steal her cards when they were summoned. All they'd get were the ones still.... hm... she'd have to get the rest of the cards back too. That would be trickier without Alta or Gooligan to help.

Ah, Cepters-is that's what they're called? Good to know.

"Actually, it's likely more along the lines of them probably not even knowing what they are. It's why Jo-Zu's not coming out herself right now." He taps the Pokeball clipped to his belt and somewhat hidden beneath his shirt. "Not unless I think we might need her firepower on our side." But wouldn't it be nice if they didn't have to fight anybody?

Well, it was what she was called. "Jo-zu?" she asked, curiously. Then she blinked. "The people here have never seen Cards?"
