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.

And, of course, the obligatory do-what-you-want option.

1. The mighty cat spawn
[ Gideon actually owns a cat, so this isn't all that jarring for him. However, this cat he's dealing with is decidedly not HIS cat, because Panini would never do this. That is to say, terrorize this poor storefront, scaring off customers by just generally having a rather nasty aura. He is trying to catch this cat, but it's really not going well. The thing looks ready to eat his face. ]
Oh, quit grousing already, will you? Honestly. Why are you so upset? Why are you so determined that no one can have their coffee today?
4. Summer summer SUMMER!
[ You know he's going to be at Pride. You just know it. He's dyed his hair pink, and he's wearing rainbow. He brings a smaller camera with him so he can record some of the events, fully intending to blur out people's faces in post since he doubts they'll give consent to that. He wants to make a video for his channel. You can catch him in the middle of things, obviously playing to the camera. ]
I'm here at our local Pride in Mossgate, and I've got to say, I am WAY looking forward to the ball. I found the nicest outfit for it, and I don't care how tacky Fiona keeps telling me it is, I've just got to wear this thing. It's not exactly hideous, it's more like--
[ He glances behind him, it is very loud today, a lot of people milling about, after all. Then continues. ]
--Well, it's more like... so ugly it's beautiful. So I looked at it and I knew, I knew this thing was made for me. I had to have it. Especially since it was in my size. It's like the hideous holiday jumper, but if it was... not a jumper at all. And if it wasn't holiday. I think you get what I mean.
[ And then there's a visible pause. Where he looks behind him. ]
I still haven't decided where to even start. But I'm excited! So I think what I'll do is just have a look round, and see what grabs me.
[ Of course, he's going to be all over. Interviewing people, just generally checking stuff out. He's very likely to come bug you! ]
6. Wildcard!
[ Then there's his sister. Whom he drags with him begrudgingly. Today they're going out to buy something. And she's stuck on camera duty. ]
So what are we going to go get again? You should let our audience know. Let our audience know that Panini is going to be the most majestic, beautiful creature that ever walked this earth, soon. Well, even more than before.
[ Alternatively, make something up! He can be found all over Mossgate. Usually vlogging, sometimes not. ]
6! At the park.
He takes one moment to be grateful that what he's seeing isn't itself causing an Echo.
"I'm sorry, you were saying?"
On the one hand, he's pretty sure he knows, but Gideon doesn't need to know that, and asking the man to repeat himself could give Walter another way out of this conversation.
no subject
Fashionable. That's the ticket. That's the important thing. And if it looks horrible, it at least needs to be bold!
[ And he observes Walter, to get a read on his outfit, because of course he's going to do that. ]
... This is me time. Does me time look fun to you? That's because it's supposed to. I'm taking today for myself. But lucky for you, I've decided to stop today. ... Okay, that might be a bit much. I'm not that famous yet. I'm Gideon. You are?
no subject
His clothes are nothing to sneeze at, but since Walter doesn't seek out high-end looks they're probably not all that notable either. Perfectly ordinary, if with an emphasis on the darks.]
Ah, that's fine. I- wasn't looking to be included in anything, today.
And I'm Walter Weekes. I have seen you before, though.
[... He's going to regret saying that, isn't he? Oh boy.]
