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.
no subject
Like Mocha had startled them.
"Sometimes I don't have full control of it."
Nope. That sure was a spider who now looked like a tanned, blue-haired person. They turn big brown eyes up to Rini and smile.
"I'm Odie."
no subject
No big deal.
Rini reaches out a hand to help Odie up, returning the smile.
"I'm Rini, and you've already met Mocha. Are you looking for weird gemstone kitties, too? There's supposed to be alot of them."
Of course, Rini doesn't seem to have any particular tools to catch them with, save a pocket full of treats, and the other pocket full of lollipops.
no subject
But the mention of gemstone kitties has Odie tipping their head and leaning forward as they're helped up.
"No, but I can help if you're trying to catch one. What do they look like?"
no subject
"Wait, what?"
He's... probably going to regret asking that, isn't he?
"I don't know, I haven't found any yet. But they're supposed to have gemstones in the middle of their foreheads, so I guess that's how we find them."
no subject
"Gemstones in their foreheads, hm? Not the oddest thing I've heard of."
no subject
The word slips his lips before he's really sure that he wants clarification. He looks so helplessly lost.
"Right? I mean. I grew up in Holland on Faerie Tales, so not the oddest thing I've heard of, either. But I bet they're cute and fun!"
no subject
"Human. Sometimes I'm a spider, and sometimes I'm human, but if I get startled, I don't always have control over which form I'm in." Which meant sudden spiders. Or humans.
Poor Rini. Odie laughs and pats his shoulder.
"Don't worry, it's not contagious!" they joke.
no subject
He blinks.
Uhm...
He has no idea what to do with this information. Is this for real?
He pinches himself on his arm, and gives an audible, "Ouch," as he blinks again and realises he's probably not asleep.
Okay....
"How?"
Why? Seriously? He has so many questions.
no subject
And then they spot a sparkle across the road.
"Look!" they hiss, bouncing on their toes. Gem kitty.
no subject
"Uhm... Would you like some snacks?" He holds out a lollipop to Odie. He needs to change the subject. Just... for now. He'll come back to this later.
Probably.
No, definitely. Being a novelist demands it.And then he flicks his head in the direction Odie indicates.
"OOH! Let's go get 'em!"
And he takes off at a sprint, checking over his shoulder to see if Odie can keep up.
Look, just because he doesn't understand doesn't mean they can't be friends. He's going to try and let Odie keep up with him.
no subject
That reveal could have gone better. Not that Odie noticed anything.
Anyway, there's a gem kitty ahead! And Odie's gonna catch it!
...if it lets them.
"Come on!" they say, grabbing Rini's hand and dragging him along.
no subject
Now to catch that kitty!
"Miauw, miauw! Here kitty, kitty!"
Mocha meows in response and Rini laughs.
"Mocha, not you. But you're still a good kitty~"
The gem cat, on the other hand, does not appear to be impressed by Rini's meowing.
