Third Permanent 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.
If you have a relationship plotting post comment for your character (which is NOT mandatory to play in this tdm), please link to it when putting up a toplevel on the TDM. 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. The mighty cat spawn
One of your fellow Numbered echoed the ability to spawn cats. They don't know how or why, and they have very little control over it. The problem is that all those cats are a little magic, and all of them like to escape directly after they spawned. So all Numbered have been recruited to find the cats and bring them back to their home.
Find a cat and bring it home really sounds a lot easier than it is... At least they are easily recognisable by the little gemstones set into their foreheads.
2. Winter Wonderland
This far to the south, in the very maritime climate of England, there rarely is snow. And if, it isn't much, and it doesn't stick for long. Not so this Christmas. Snow as thick as on Christmas postcards covers Mossgate Council. Public transport has shut down, the roads are impossible to drive on, stores have closed down, and electricity is down in many places.
In Folkton and Moss Manor, the church halls are heated and offer mingling spaces. In Mossgate, people go sledding on the Greens. And in Tarwich, whole roads are covered in giant snowmen. All corners of the council area are in a special state of existence, and to be missing it, you'd have to be in deep hibernation.
3. Halloween is a bit extra this year
As in, very extra. Not only does every household wake up to a bucket of water on their doorsteps in which scary apples are floating, complete with a sign attacked to the bucket that reads: Have fun bobbing!
No, the whole of the council area is also covered in cobwebs, and the graveyards are covered with the skeletons of those that should normally lie buried under their soil.
4. Summer summer SUMMER!
There is a summer fête and a Pride to enjoy during the summer months. But one can also just lie at the beach, wade through the rock pools at the bottom of the cliffs to catch starfish, tiny shrimp, tiny fish, shellfish, and anemones. Or you can take a ride on one of the attractions on the Pleasure Pier. Or enjoy a concert on the greens. ...Or return from a trip to Spain and suddenly have all echoes come back to one at once. That's also an option, but probably less pleasurable.
5. Past tdm prompts
Feel free to use a prompt from an earlier tdm!
6. Wildcard
And, of course, the obligatory do-what-you-want option.

How tall IS this tree? XD Walter's only 5'3, but that's taller than Thom is.
Nodding, he moves closer to the tree, crouching down for Thom to step into his hands.
Lets say just tall enough for Thom to reach the cat if Walter gives him a boost, and he stretches
Then both shall stretch!
That's all the warning - plus two seconds - Thom gets, before Walter lifts the boy upward, adjusting his own stance for stability and so Thom can best face the kitty.
no subject
He murmurs quietly to the cat, as he tries to get closer to it without scaring it. Leaning just a little further, he finally stretches far enough to grab it and pull it back.
Which is when the cat reacts as you might expect. Thom yelps as the cat's claws sink into his arms, but hangs on to it.
no subject
"Going to need to get that looked at. All right, back down!" he warns, putting Thom down as carefully as the boy had been lifted.
Let it be known that Walter Weekes' preferred sport is not weightlifting.
no subject
It is only after the case is securely locked that he gingerly inspects on the scratches on his arms.
"I guess he got me a little," he says mournfully.
no subject
"We'll be able to get that cleaned when we return the cat."
That was one of the benefits of having doctors among the Numbered; you got quality first aid whether you wanted it or not.
no subject
Also his arms hurt, but he barely counted that as a reason. Especially since he really wasn't looking forward to getting the scratches disinfected.
Think this thread should fade out from here? Since they're probably Mary-Ann's cats. =P
Thom's likely right on both counts - though while not looking forward to having those cuts disinfected was understandable, it'd still have to happen.
"I'll carry the carrier, all right? Don't want to agitate those scratches."
XD. yes! looks like a good ending place.
One last tag. XD Because I am unstoppable, apparently.
"But that's still no excuse."
