Test Drive Meme 026

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!

Stand Back

The long-awaited laboratory carriage is a place of many delights. And by delights, we mean 'unsafe thaumo-scientific practices'. Whether the chemistry stores, the machine shop and its welding station, the magitech benches sat right next to the physics research area... or the panic showers.

A strange, earthy smell is coming from the biology room. Green smoke is curling under the door of chemistry. The machine shop is eerily quiet, and within a metre of the physics room, things appear to be levitating. At least one of the showers is running, but who knows which room the erstwhile scientist came from? Dare ye investigate?

Autobiography

The library carriage is normally a place of quiet, two storeys of shelves and comfy seating. The shelves are normally a little empty, filled only with what the Voidtreckers have bought themselves... but today, every shelf is filled.

Some books are normal - that one novel you'd been thinking of last week, or the tome of old family recipes you wistfully mentioned to your friend. The lower shelves are replete with activity books for small children, covering topics such as anatomy (for kids! non-human kids, mostly!), holiday activities for familiar and unfamiliar national holidays, and an unnerving number of sticker books that bodes ill for the walls of the train.

Others are larger, gilt or bound in strange covers. Like this one, coloured in a familiar hue, its spine reading only your name.

Fools' Gold

The Voidtrecker Express has landed on the world of Pamsar. More specifically, it has stopped, floating and untraceable, above the mountains holding the castle and surrounding town of the Pale Marquess's march.

It would have landed, but the forests and gardens of the march have petrified. Trees are sweeping spikes and clusters of sharp, smooth jade. Gemstone flowers dot the meadows and twine up walls and around window frames. Mosses have taken on the rough texture of granite. Beautiful as it is, it threatens the march's survival.

Team One
What were cultivated fields of grain are now rows upon rows of pure gold. Blinding, shimmering in the morning light coming over the mountains, but useless for the people of the Pale March. Panic is spreading. This team is tasked with protecting the granaries and food stores from panicked citizens.
Team Two
When pressed, many people appear to know the source of their misfortune. Living at the frontier, the people of their march have grown envious of the palaces and styles of the inner kingdom, and their prayers the last year have been for wealth and prosperity above all else. A wandering deity granted these wishes, to the peoples' regret. This team is to locate the deity's temple in the outlands, and convince them to reverse the blessing. Or else find another of the outsider gods to repair the damage.
Team Three
The forests across the march are now gorgeous, sharped prison bars for the people and creatures that live within them. This team must ingress into the jade woodlands, and rescue those trapped within. For some, a discovery is made: living blood shed on the petrified plants slowly dispels the effect.

Stitch | Lilo and Stitch | CRAU from Boomtown

Autobiography

He had taken the time to explore the train to the best of his abilities when he came across the library, ears perked up in curiosity as he ventured in. In all his barely three foot glory, the alien experiment saw books that caught his eye almost immediately, little paws going to the sides of his face in awe, eyes bright before making his way in completely to explore more closely.

So, you've got some options for where you might find him. Perhaps it's as he's found a book that of course would catch his interest. Something close to his heart for so many reasons that he would hold close to his chest. Don't mind that he's got all four front paws out so he can hold The Ugly Duckling as well as climb back down to the ground and make his way to a table to read it for the umpteenth time.

However, you could also catch him as he finds the book that has his name on it. Not the name given to him by Lilo, either. But the book clearly read 'Experiment 626'. Curiosity getting the better of him yet again as he climbed his way up to get it, looking down for a moment. Maybe he catches you as you're looking at the books. Or looking at the odd little alien climbing the bookshelf. A little paw getting extended as he waves in greeting and grins.

"Hiiii. Do you have a book with your name, too?" He blinked before adding as a second question "Would you like me to grab it for you?"


Team Three

The idea of people being trapped in a prison of any sort really doesn't sit well with Stich. There's a little frustrated growl out of him as he moved with whoever he was with to try and help. Rescuing those trapped was definitely important to him. He thought about how this could be solved, eyes narrowing in heavy thought before looking up to who he was with and throwing his arms to his sides "I got nothing" He said, frustrated for sure.

Wildcard

Got something else you wanna do with Stitch? Hit me up with a top level somewhere, or [plurk.com profile] mellzyvee!

Stitch is from RIGHT before Lilo left for college in Stitch!, showed up in New Dodge (Boomtown) and spent a few years there! A fair amount just. Traveling space.

Willow's seen all sorts of people come and go by this point, including a talking cat of all things, but this blue creature has her stumped. Are there possibly similar creatures where she's from? Sure, but she's only heard about them, never seen them outside of some kind of small excerpt in a book with little to no information with no pictures in them.

A minute passes before she even registers that she's being spoken to, let alone waved at as gold eyes stare up at him.

"Ah-- no, I was only coming to return a book I had borrowed. I doubt I would have a book with my name on it."

[personal profile] ohanaisfamily 2021-07-20 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
He blinked, giving a bit of a shrug "Maybe you do have one up here" He mused before grabbing his own book and making his way back down to ground level, briefly looking to the spine of his book. "I don't go by this, though. My name is Stitch" He introduced, little tail wagging behind him.

[ Well. This is...odd. Kaiba doesn't typically spend much time on the lower level of the library, because he knows there's not much here. He's had time to read everything that might be remotely of interest. Until today, at least.

He takes his time scanning the shelves, looking for something that might be useful for their mission. Who knows, these books might disappear tomorrow. Best to take in what he can as quickly as possible.

That focus lasts right up until a small blue...passenger? He's pretty sure that was a SCA on a wrist. The passenger crawls right by his field of vision. Huh. ]


Find anything good?

[ A simple question that will quickly fill Kaiba in on the kind of person he's dealing with. ]

[personal profile] ohanaisfamily 2021-07-20 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
[The question catches him briefly off guard, his ears twitching a bit in response as he looked over to Kaiba and blinked before looking to his book of choice and back to him with a nod.]

Ih. There are a lot of really interesting books here. But I wanted to read the Ugly Duckling.

[His english is definitely careful. Always has been always will be. And that's definitely a more peaceful look on his face at the thought of the book]

It reminds me of my ohana. My family.

[Also some small part of him likes the idea of eventually shocking people with the fact he can do insane science with the best of them.]
blue_ice: (hm)

[personal profile] blue_ice 2021-07-20 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
The Ugly Duckling...reminds you of your family...

[ That was the book about the 'duck' that grew into a swan, right? Adopted by the wrong crowd, only to find where it truly belonged later. Sounded familiar, almost. ]

Were they good to you?

[personal profile] ohanaisfamily 2021-07-21 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
Ih. Very good.

[There's a happy little tail wag as he thinks about his family.]

It is the first book I read when I met them. The Ugly Duckling is like me. I was lost before I found my ohana.

[Sharing is caring as far as he's concerned]

I used to think it wasn't possible to find a family like that. That people opening their hearts to someone was a fairytale, like that book.

[ His expression softens a little. ]

But that was one of the few times in my life I was wrong. Finding your own family...if you find the right one, it's one of the best feelings in the world.

Eight noticed the little creature from the platform and was taking the better part of the day following him around. The fact that he reads pleases Eight and she appreciates the clumsy grace he goes up and down the banister.

She would be content to continue to look, but the creature seems to have other idea.

"Me...?" She gestures to herself. "...I don't think so. I don't think anyone would really want to read a story of me."

"Naga" He shook his head, as though arguing the statement before hopping down to ground level, landing on his back paws with a bit too rough of a 'thump' which caused him to tense and shiver for a moment. Just a full body shake that told him that wasn't a wise choice. Did he regret it? Only slightly.

"I am sure someone would want to read your story" He said through still gritted teeth before breathing out to let it wash through him fully. "I am Stitch." He looked back to the books and pointed to the one with 'Experiment 626' on it. "That is me, too."
consider8: (Examine)

[personal profile] consider8 2021-07-20 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Stitch. And... Experiment 626? Oh...

There was a story there. Someone did something once against his will, that much is for certain. Where there are two names there are two stories. Two purposes. Her eyes turn back to Stitch and gave him a long, steady stare.

"Do you have a preference of who you want to be known as?" She had a story too. One very similar to his. One that she wanted to share with him, if given the chance.

Autobiography

Clef had glanced up when someone came in. Clef, as usual, had been sitting up on a tall rock he had created in the Library so he could have a seat that left him at the average height for human adults. He wasn't so much surprised by Stitch's colour or extra arms. No he was just glad that this new Void Treker might... might..

Might actually be shorter than he was!

And then Stitch clearly being appreciative of books, Clef smiled warmly down at him. "Welcome, fellow bibliophile."

He looked to Clef and waved to him "Hiii! I just got here." He said, climbing into his chair to get comfortable, positioning it to be able to hold a conversation if the other wanted. "My name is Stitch!"

"Hello, Stitch. I am Clef. It is nice to meet others who enjoy reading." He offered a warm smile.
aquawayfinder: (Touched)

She's not in the game, but I couldn't resist! Hope it is okay!

[personal profile] aquawayfinder 2021-07-20 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
Aqua had been heading into the library when she heard a voice asking someone else a question. A familiar sounding someone...

She sped up and opened the door, and when she saw she had been right, she smiled warmly. "626! You're alright!" she said, happily.
ohanaisfamily: (004)

More than okay! \o/ He doesn't have KH memories, but I still want this so baaaaaaad

[personal profile] ohanaisfamily 2021-07-20 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
He heard his number being called and that's what had him surprised more than anything. Whipping around to see the blue haired woman there. Someone he'd met? He didn't recognize her. Maybe it was an alternate version of him who knew her? That would make sense! Hell, the town he'd lived in before here had visits from at least like five different versions of the same guy at one point or another.

"Hi!" He said before his ears drooped a bit. "I am sorry. I do not recognize you..." He admitted, tapping two claws together. He did genuinely feel bad about it. Especially with how excited Aqua seemed to see him.
aquawayfinder: (It's okay animated)

YAY!

[personal profile] aquawayfinder 2021-07-20 07:27 am (UTC)(link)
"O...oh." She blinked, disappointed for a moment, then gave him a sunny smile. "That's alright then, it just means we get to become friends all over again. Hi, I'm Aqua." She crouched slightly and extended her hand.

Ilphyl considered. Both rocks and plants were familiar in isolation, but not plants that became rocks. And they'd prefer a solution that didn't hurt the trees. "Can you climb these? You're small enough you might be able to get through."

They weren't sure what then. But maybe they could find a path through to get people clear if they explore the verticality of the forest -- or get people up to the canopy and go from there.
