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
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
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.
Autobiography
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."

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. ]
no subject
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.]
no subject
[ 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?
no subject
[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]
no subject
[ 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.

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."
no subject
"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."
no subject
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.

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."

She's not in the game, but I couldn't resist! Hope it is okay!
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.
More than okay! \o/ He doesn't have KH memories, but I still want this so baaaaaaad
"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.
YAY!
Team Three
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.
