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.
1, because we DID mention the cat...
That doesn't stop him from kneeling down and offering a hand for said cat to sniff, though.
"I remember you..." he murmurs - though, being as there wasn't much of his life he couldn't remember these days, that wasn't much of a point to start with.
"Not lost, then?"
no subject
Rini comes running down from the other side of the street, holding one of said gemstone cats in his arms, who is inevitably trying to escape.
"Mocha, I found one! Come lookit your new friend!" But then Rini blinks. He found Mocha, and a familiar face. "Walter! Are you looking for kitties, too? Ooh, do you need a new pet?"
He holds the grey tabby out to Walter, with a little pink gemstone on its forehead.
"It's super cute, right?"
The cat still visibly squirms in Rini's grip. Not that Rini is being mean to it. It just has other ideas apart from staying captured.
no subject
"Actually yes, Rini - though not for myself. Someone's lost them, is all."
He looks carefully at the grey cat, paying particular attention to the jewel. He'd thought these cats were supposed to be black, but the decoration looks out of place otherwise-
"But yes, they are cute."
no subject
Rini turns the gemstone cat back to face him.
"That would make sense why we're supposed to find them, huh?" Maybe he misunderstood the message to take these little cuties home. He did kind of skim that message. Whoops.
"Well then, we should bring him back to his home, right?"
More cat struggling.
"Hey, do you happen to have a leash? Mocha doesn't need one, soooo...."
Please?
no subject
Walter shakes his head.
"No, but they might like a change of handlers, at least for a while."
He's no cat whisperer, but he probably counts as less... exuberant, than Rini is right now. The cat might like that.
no subject
"My bad."
Rini holds out the cat to Walter, more than happy to share the cutie. Walter could probably use some extra attention anyway.
Speaking of which.
"How are you doing? Are you eating okay?"
no subject
He overemphasizes a sigh at Rini's question.
"I'm fine. Better than last week, anyhow."
Skipping the question about eating, because 'okay' is as much a relative term as 'fine' is.
