First Test Drive Meme
Welcome to the SoE TDM!
Due to the premise of the game, everyone on this testdrive must be the modern day reincarnation of the characters we all know and love. Please take a quick look at our navigation to familiarize yourself with the concept and setting of the game before you jump in.
Feel also free to check out the AU Relationship Plotting Post, the place where you can ask the mods any question, no matter how dumb they feel, and our call for more app, echo or co-mods.
When putting up a toplevel on the TDM, please link to your character's relationship plotting post comment if you have one for them. That way, other players can easily get an idea of what kind of character they will be tagging.
Other than that, you know the tdm drill - when commenting, please put your character's name and canon in the subject line, and write one or more threadstarters so others can tag you easily. Below, you'll find some prompts that you can use or discard at will to write those threadstarters.
1. This is now our wonderful everyday
Being people living in our regular, modern world, people need to work or study, eat and commute, shop and relax... Just that all those regular, normal tasks can hold unexpected difficulties if you were just sitting at the tills at Tesco's, and this noseless customer suddenly made you remember the day you lost your parents. Or maybe you were getting some exercise, and running down the street you developed superspeed and have no idea how to control it yet...
2. How many times will they have to tell you?
Twice a year, there are guided tours through the tunnels under the cliffs east of Mossgate. Those tunnels, dug into the chalk throughout centuries or perhaps millenia, were built without a general plan, so their layout is an absolute confusing mess. On top of that, there are cave-ins and unsafe areas. It is strictly advised to not stray from your group, as people have been harmed because they got lost in them before. But you just had to get distracted, or perhaps think that it would be more fun to explore on your own, and now you are lost without a blip of signal to call for help with...
3. Call my number, baby
Somehow you have the number of another Numbered, but don't know whose it is. Why? Perhaps a friend is trying to set you up on a blind date, perhaps you got a slip of paper just saying 'call this person' - for whatever reason, you have it, and deadly curious as you are, you of course write it down...
4. Fun, fun, FUN!
At Mossgate's seaside, a Victorian pleasure pier extends about 40 metres into the sea. The platform at the end of the pier holds fairground rides such as a merry-go-round, a small rollercoaster and a helter skelter and along the pier kiosks sell candy floss, rock candy, roasted nuts and other goodies. A small distance down the street, a minigolf site can be found and on the street along the coast there are fish and chips shops, family-friendly arcades and souvenir shops. Maybe you are actually here for the fun, or maybe you just work here or are trying to track down a wayward friend...
5. History is calling, can I hang up?
Mossgate has a rich history, visible through two museums, the Moss Army Fort, the ruins on the cliffs, and Moss Manor. Most of these can be visited. And two idiots with a boat can get to the crumbling Sea Forts, too....
6. Wildcard
The obligatory "do what you want, we're not your mum" option.
no subject
[He's still retired, puttering around the house or wandering around the town, and occasionally babysitting for the grandkids. What else is he supposed to do with his time, number or not?]
Why, are you doing things differently?
no subject
[He's loathe to go into detail there, though. Let people think that he isn't a small, fluffy dog.]
Have you not changed in any significant ways yet?
no subject
[He pauses.]
What do you mean significant ways? Like what, growing another limb? Suddenly getting younger or prettier or something?
no subject
Suddenly having abilities that you never had before seems to be a thing, too, like new languages or flying.
[Or being sentient and super strong.]
no subject
no subject
But he gets why, so he sticks to it. He might, however, use his dog status to achieve goals that no dog would even conceive of now. Nobody pays attention to the little white furball lying nearby when they have super secret conversations...]
Though some people are starting to change physically, so who knows how long we can keep that up.
no subject
[He's lived in this same body for over seventy years. Changing it up now, particularly when he has no control over it, is a little bit terrifying, to be honest.
All of this is scary, he's just good at bluffing through fear, by now.]
What about you? Any big changes?
no subject
[Well, past that niggling feeling that he should have a different body. Just that there's no different body to back it up (yet). Which he is rather thankful for. His life is complicated enough as it is.]
Luckily. Nobody else in my household seems to be Numbered.
[So there's nobody to cover for him should something happen. Which is disappointing. He always considered his owner and the tons of cousins his back-up.]
