Test Drive 031

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!

Winter Wonderland



Experienced Voidtreckers will be the first to recognise when the announcement of a stop comes over the speakers: “Arriving at world 9126110 in ten, nine, eight…”

The doors don’t open, the train doesn’t stop. Instead, it slows, and the garden carriage opens its curved, clear roof as though it were a convertible, both sides folding back until the carriage is open to the air. The world is a picture of snow-covered mountains and sparse conifers, and within minutes the garden’s fountain and streams have iced over, soft snow coating the cobbles and benches.

The stop lasts all day, the vending machines dispense free hot chocolate, and the dressing carriage is filled with thick coats, wooly hats, and warm gloves.


Void Santa Is Coming To Town



It’s a day like any other, except that the morning announcement has a rider.

“There are packages in the luggage car for all passengers. Enjoy. ”

And indeed, it seems that something has visited during the night - the carriage at the back of the train is unusually neat, the piles of empty luggage stacked carefully near the back to make room for a huge array of wrapped objects. Void Santa, maybe? The difference between Void Santa and, say, one of the many Earth Santas or the Gyueran Spirit of Generosity, is that Void Santa doesn’t give you what you asked for.

It gives you something you wouldn’t have dared to ask for. That nerdy figurine that you eyed in the window of the store, the dress you weren’t brave enough to try on, the device you decided was too expensive. The poster of your favourite holostar, the latest risque novel from the local printworks… the list goes on.

You’ve got a present in here, better find it before someone else does!


Meltdown


You have arrived in a place which might remind you of Victoria London if Victoria London had floating palaces and was ruled by wizards.

Their rule is strict and any kind of Winter celebration is banned. You have been called by a group of rebels to help with an underground celebration.



Team One


Distraction. Be out in the city, keep watch. If the guards get anywhere near the secret entrances distract them. Perhaps by being a lost tourist. Perhaps by causing mayhem. Make sure the organisers and party goers can arrive without a hitch.

Team Two

A party is not complete without food. The party is being held underground and there isn't much in the way of kitchens and do help bake in people's houses and smuggle the food across the city. Careful of guards.

Team Three

The venue needs decorating and the presents need wrapped. It might be an underground bunker but everyone is determined to make it the best festival ever, despite the risks. Help make it happen!


Party


Mission complete it is of course time to party! Eat drink and be merry before you return to the void once more.

Winter Wonderland
Well that was certainly interesting to watch. Considering what a train could potentially be made of it being able to flip it's lid like that like it was made of something completely different was just fascinating.

He watched as things started to ice over and snow fell. Snow always brought about certain memories but after everything at least they didn't bother him that much anymore. He will never forget but he won't let it affect him anymore.

"Say, if two snowflakes are meant to not be the same one has to wonder just how one figured that out." Why he said that? Just for something to say or at least to strike up a conversation.

Team One
Things Fai felt like he was great at or at least could be great at. Distraction. Being that one obnoxious person and keep the focus on him. Or at least he could play the fool either way would work.

So when he saw a guard near by he looked over at the person he was meant to be working with on his task.

"So, what kind of distraction do you think will best fit?"

Team Two
As much as food wasn't his main source of food anymore and was more supplementing it when he had it didn't meant it would stop him from being involved with the food.

They didn't have much, but Fai was working around that as he looked over "Can you please pass over the flour?"

Party
Seems like things went off without too much trouble and now Fai was planning on enjoying himself in the way he best knows how. Having a good drink in his hand.

Going through people enjoying themselves. Eating, drinking and being merry he found himself smiling. It was a nice sight to see. If he see a wall flower though he makes his way over the smile still plastered on his face.

"Do you want something to eat or drink? Do you want to mingle perhaps, or are you the type or prefers to watch from a distance?"

Jun Kohinata | Tokyo Xanadu + CRAU

I. Winter Wonderland
[Among the new arrivals, Jun had adapted rather quickly to the new environment. It wasn't the first time he woke up in some mysterious place that wasn't his world, and it's not like the function here was that different from his role back home - travel and accomplish missions to help people before moving on. At least this time it seemed more straightforward. He's friendly enough to people, though he's not exactly outgoing nor eager to volunteer much information about himself.

Stepping out onto the first location, he can't help but look around with awe at the scenery. The snow is beautiful, and has such a peaceful look to it. ]


It's so pretty...

[He goes to grab a coat, a hat, and the biggest scarf he can possibly find. As he takes the time to wrap it around his neck many, many times- he'll speak up to the person near him]

What do you think we'll be asked to do here?

[Its his first time, so it's good to get an idea of what kind of missions to expect]

II. Void Santa
[Jun can't say he believes in Santa, or ever even had a visit from Santa, but he wasn't about to turn down free stuff. He heads down to the luggage car, observing the other passengers before following what they do. Finally, he finds his package- a medium sized box. He's a little clumsy with unwrapping it, as if he's not entirely sure how to do it. But, he finally manages it. Inside is a figure of a magical girl. Definitely something that'd came from some anime.

Most people, especially a holy knight, would probably be embarrassed to get this in front of a bunch of people. Jun however? Gasps in delight]


Alisa! ✨ Is this the limited edition one?!

[What is shame? Only nerd joy here. Beware.]

III. Team Two
[Jun wasn't very experienced in the way of Winter holiday celebrations, but he could at least help with the food stuff and delivery. Half the time he's helping with the baking in the kitchen, focusing mostly on the sweets and desserts. He's pretty good himself, but wouldn't mind learning new recipes either.

As for other half of the time? Well, delivery is pretty easy when one of your powers is teleportation. Once he scouted out the spots he was supposed to teleport to, it's a pretty easy maneuver. He's even able to bring one other person with him at a time, so he'll be happy to enlist other people's help]


Okay, let's grab as much food as we can carry this time.

[Got another prompt for me? Hit me up! Jun is a CRAU from [personal profile] upcycled and [community profile] stellafortunalogs. ]

August Villareal | OC + CRAU from Stella Fortuna

[personal profile] drewthetower 2021-12-17 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Winter Wonderland

[So. One may see August doing one of two things:

First: looking for some ice skates and if he can't find them, he will absolutely be trying to make a snowman with all the snow around here. Like, come on, this is perfect for it!

Second: chasing his raven familiar around with a hilariously small knit hat in hand.]


Julian, no, c'mon, you're the one who spotted it! Get down here, I am putting this on you so help me God.

[Julian just caws and probably lands on your shoulder to hide from his human.]

Void Santa

[August just stares at the gift with his name on it, Julian crowing happily and flying around in circles.

The gift? A raven-sized scabbard-and-knife.]


Is this what I get for encouraging your shenanigans, Jules? Is this a punishment for my hubris? Why couldn't it have been my deck? My deck woulda been useful-- [Loud cawing from the bird] --not that your knife isn't useful! I'm just saying--

[Yes, he will continue having this conversation with his bird. Yes, the bird seems to understand and respond as a human might.]

Team One

[Distractions? Oh, August has got this. He manages to harass someone into letting him borrow a tarot deck and sets up just far away enough from one of the party entrances that he can keep an eye on people coming and going, ready to call out an offer to read someone's fortune the second anyone who isn't supposed to be nearby gets close enough. He's never wrong!

If that fails? Eh, people are walking around with food and he has a raven. You do the math.]


Wildcard

[Honestly, he has a raven. There are so many wild card options if anyone wants them! Info here (tldr: half-demon witch and his raven familiar go into hell to get his mom back after she vanished trying to find his dad), and his CRAU mostly means he's familiar with the world and some concepts from Genshin Impact, as a note!]

[Jun's nearby, holding onto his own present (a magical girl figure, still in the box)]

Haha, Jules must've been on Santa's nice list.

[UNLIKE YOU- is left unsaid but also very said]

drewthetower: (Hmph)

[personal profile] drewthetower 2021-12-17 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Excuse August while he just. Casually reaches over to muss Jun's hair!]

No one asked you, brat. How'd you get that figure, if we're talking nice lists?
whiteshroud: (jun89)

[personal profile] whiteshroud 2021-12-17 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[He chuckles, not at all guilty. As how he got on the nice list, well... there's an easy answer for that]

Nepotism, probably.

[It's a joke, really]
drewthetower: (A Smile)

[personal profile] drewthetower 2021-12-17 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[August snorts.]

He's barely Christian anymore! How'd nepotism get you on the nice list? Jun, did you bribe Santa?
whiteshroud: (jun97)

[personal profile] whiteshroud 2021-12-17 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I've never met him.

[He shrugs]

It'd be difficult to explain. [So he won't] However, it is also my birthday - so maybe it's for that?

What. You're shitting me right now.
whiteshroud: (jun03)

[personal profile] whiteshroud 2021-12-17 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not. December 24th is my birthday.

[...]

I'm aware of the irony.
drewthetower: (Squishy Witchboy)

[personal profile] drewthetower 2021-12-17 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Holy shit, have you ever even had a birthday party and not a "Christmas and also Jun's birthday" party? Do I need to do Jun's Birthday In July, because I will.
whiteshroud: (jun05)

[personal profile] whiteshroud 2021-12-17 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh...

[He falters for a moment, because first he didn't actually expect August to care enough to talk about throwing a party. And two, this sure steps into the realm of "Jun's past is really depressing and sad, actually" -- and he's not sure how to admit to that]

...Well, a priest made me a birthday cake once. [Once. He's had a grand total of one birthday cake] I-It's really not a big deal, I don't usually do much for my birthday anyway.
drewthetower: (Hm?)

[personal profile] drewthetower 2021-12-17 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah, your birthday is fucking Christmas Eve!

[Obviously you never did much??]

And like, look, if you don't want shit that's fine but you are getting more than one birthday cake in your life at the very least.
whiteshroud: (jun138)

[personal profile] whiteshroud 2021-12-17 05:54 pm (UTC)(link)
So it's that big a deal...

[It must be if August is reacting THIS much to it. He's seen August get into his mother hen mode before. There's little point in fighting it, especially when he means well.]

Well, I wouldn't want a party about me, but I do like cake... [Sweets are nice ok] B-But don't feel like you have to go out of your way for it.
drewthetower: (Why Are You Like This)

[personal profile] drewthetower 2021-12-17 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[--shit, he's doing it again. Oops.]

It's not going out of my way, birthdays are just really important in my family. [That or his aunts spoiled him a little when it came to birthdays but either way.] Besides, it's free cake. I have never met anyone who doesn't like free cake.
whiteshroud: (jun38)

[personal profile] whiteshroud 2021-12-17 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's okay August, he doesn't mind. If anything, it's sweet]

Haha, good point...

Alright, sure. I'd like to try more birthday cake. Thank you, August.
drewthetower: (A Smile)

[personal profile] drewthetower 2021-12-17 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Good! But not this month, and probably not early next month either, just because I dunno if you deal with...whatever Christmas thing's in January. King's Day or whatever.
whiteshroud: (jun117)

[personal profile] whiteshroud 2021-12-17 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Three Kings Day.

[But more importantly is the fact that he thought he was about to get a birthday cake, only to be suddenly informed otherwise. He's tempted to protest, but ....nnnngh ....be mature...no attachments...]

...Whatever day is fine.
drewthetower: (Still A Stupid Young Adult)

[personal profile] drewthetower 2021-12-17 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[August snickers a little.]

Gimme a few days. New Years isn't technically either December or January, after all.

[#troll]
whiteshroud: (sweatdrop)

[personal profile] whiteshroud 2021-12-17 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[Now whose the brat...]

...Whatever. Do it when you can. Do you even know how to make a cake?
drewthetower: (Still A Stupid Young Adult)

[personal profile] drewthetower 2021-12-17 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[August. Absolutely August.]

S'easier with a box mix, but if I can't get that I can make a very basic chocolate cake without it, thank you baking YouTube channels.

Will Stanton | The Dark is Rising Sequence

[personal profile] signseeker 2021-12-17 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Winter Wonderland:
Will steps out in the fresh and simply stands there a moment,relishing the atmosphere. He loved snow. It was his wish for his birthday every year. Not a thin coating, but a proper deep snow.

Later,of course he travels out to explore. A part of himself was happy simply to tramp through the snow and to see the sights. But another part,the part that was yet a human child,cannot resist the temptation to stop and start rolling up a snowman.

Void Santa is Coming to Town
Will had his package in hand, but he is frowning at it. The idea that it could be something that he wanted.... Well, it just felt like this sort of thing wasn't for him. He wasn't entirely sure what he thought about this.

Team Three:
Will hums old carols lightly under his breath as he carefully pins greenery above the doors.

"Is there anything like holly, do you think?"

With the holidays being in the darkest part of the year a little extra protection never went amiss. Perhaps even more so,in this situation.
