Test Drive Meme 024

[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… A fairground

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.

How hard can running a fairground me? Well very hard when so much has gone wrong. Is it sabotage? Is it bad luck? Shoddy engineering? No mater what it is the important thing is rides are breaking, people are in danger, there’s temperature fluctuations in the fun house and the banshee in the ghost house won’t stop screaming. This is perhaps one of the more light hearted scenario’s in Crisis On but brings it’s own level of stress. Good luck keeping everyone safe and pacifying those angry guests.

Jam Session

Downstairs in the music carriage there are a variety of instruments. Mostly smaller instruments (a guitar is the largest instrument there). There are a couple of each type. There is however an entire box of recorders, another box of panpipes and a box of mixed small percussion instruments (symbols, shakers etc). There are music stands small stools to sit on are stacked along the wall. There are folders of various sheet music as well as some ‘learn to play’ books.

When there is only one practice room well then it is the perfect time to learn to play together. No matter the skill level, instrument or music preference. Playing music together is a good team bonding activity after all.

Or perhaps everyone is just playing their own thing, descending into chaos.

Jungle Heights

The latest mission has taken them to a vast jungle, where people live high in the trees. There has been an influx of tree dwelling creatures with sharp teeth, sharper claws and a love of destruction. To make things better the forest floor is not safe, damp and marshy many creatures lurk there ready to bite at ankles and it is home to a root, the sap of which burns.

Team One

Treetop fighting is an acquired skill and one the voidtreckers are having to learn quickly. Swing on vine ropes and tangle with monsters. Quick movement and quicker thinking is needed to take down the creatures in terrain they are naturals at traversing.

Team Two

People here live on platforms in the trees, with bridges and walkways connecting them. Fend off the creatures and chase them away from peoples homes. At least there is slightly solider ground beneath their feet, but they must be careful not to fall to the jungle floor beneath.

Team Three

Many of the people here are not fighters and they need help to get somewhere safer. It's a tough journey through the forest, especially when they leave the bridges and platforms of the village behind. Children may need carried and climbing from one tree to another is difficult even with sturdy branches to walk along.

They must be careful to stay in the trees, avoid getting too close to the forest floor but do not get too high, lest they attract the creatures.

Yup. Of all the people on the train to talk to her, to be around her, it had to be Xenanort. She’s had to resist wanting to hit him plenty of time, but for now...

“Large Tool Box...” she said, letting out a calm sigh. Don’t kill him, please...

“It should be under the ticket booth desk...”

[mustknow]

One day he might even understand why most of the people he encountered actively wanted to murder him! Maybe it was the fact that Kairi somehow managed to keep that from showing that had somehow marked her as semi-approachable.

Or at least botherable when he can't find the damn items he wanted for his quest. This game is not fun, why did people play it?

At mention of the ticket booth, his gaze shifts in that direction, brow furrowing. "Which is where the Parent With Fifteen Children encounter is currently running. Of course it is. Why wouldn't it be?" Wasn't someone supposed to be handling that so he can handle the repairs?? ..This is what he gets for not going in with a full team of four! "Thank you. I'll.. see if I can get past the obstacles."

[princess_keyblade]

Oh, believe her, Kairi wished she could harm him. But, she grew up with the idea that revenge isn’t worth it in the end.

Plus, timeline shenanigans. She’s certain if she did something to him now, she’ll screw up time/space and all the scientists she met do not like that.

Anywho, hearing the comment of what event was going on, Kairi winced in sympathy.

“Oh, no. I had no idea...” she uttered.

[mustknow]

Visibly, he is not relishing the idea of going over there. On the other hand..

"I've heard it gives bonus points if completed properly," the researcher mutters with a wince, "But I'm on a time schedule." Probably it would do INTERESTING THINGS to the timeline if he were to die, at least in the short term... closed time loops were annoyingly self-regulating. "...I'd be happy to share what points there are though if I could convince you to run interference long enough for me to retrieve that tool box."

[princess_keyblade]

Oh, Light. Of all the things...

“Okay, I guess I can give it a try.” Kairi said, sighing in defeat. “This wasn’t in S.H.I.E.L.D training...”

With that, she made her way to the family and started talking them down.

I apologize for delays! D:

[mustknow]

"Fear not, it is just a game. If it isn't fun, don't play." As if this is somehow reassuring, or his brief smile (which for what it's worth doesn't seem faked, just ..distracted); the ongoing issues with him merely existing in other people's directions is surely not a problem here.

But he does mean it about being willing to share any bonuses that come from this, sliding out of sight to make sure that Kairi is the ONLY one the swarm of potential customers get to deal with while he works on unobtrusively acquiring the things he needs for his bit of quest.

He can be very quiet when he wants to, and a weather eye is being kept on Kairi regardless, just in case something goes suddenly awry. Attention is not something he's after here!
