Third Permanent Test Drive Meme

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.

Dancing?! Odie can definitely do dancing. That’s their specialty. Well, one of them. They let out a laugh as Rune spins them, then spins back I , mischief in their eyes.

“Let loose? Are you saying you’re otherwise uptight?”

Rune laughs and offers a wink.

"Onlee ahs taih as ah nee ta be."

Only as tight as I need to be. Which, thankfully, isn't often the case. He has a wonderfully delightful crew to work with, and that means easy to manage.

"Yer grea aht dahnsen. Wherr ya lerrn aht?"

You're great at dancing. Where'd you learn at?

"I learned when I was a child. My parents said I was all legs, so I better learn how to use them," Odie says with a laugh, kicking a leg up high to illustrate.

They're dressed in...god knows what, honestly; it looks more like a closet threw up on them than anything else. They're wearing an open vest in blue, bright green shorts, a purple skirt, and what looks like wrist tutus. And they're barefoot aside from their orange leg warmers, but who wears leg warmers in summer?

And despite being a walking fashion disaster, Odie seems very confident and happy. It's a Pride festival after all, and they're dancing!

"And you? You're pretty good!"

Rune isn't the slightest bit put off at Odie's fashion sense. He's seen some pretty interesting outfits when it comes to performances. The colours definitely attract attention, and there's no way he can be offended by that.

"Ah staht't bahley whin ah wuz yung. Now ahm pahrt ohvae trehvlin troupe; we dahns all th'tiem. Ah roon ii, act'lii. Ah like ii aloht."

I started ballet when I was young. Now I'm part of a traveling troupe; we dance all the time. I run it, actually. I like it a lot.

"How'd you get into a traveling troupe? Those aren't too common," Odie says, impressed as anything. It sounds like something they would be interested in.

"Ah joeend in Norge, oondeir ma troupe mahnehjer. Ii wuz eesee, wih bahley in jeemnahstihks oondeir ma bilt. Ii is alah oo fuun!"

I joined in Norway, under my troupe manager. It was easy, with ballet and gymnastics under my belt. It is a lot of fun!

A bit of a beat, and then Rune winks at Odie.

"Weh du hae awdishins soomtymes. Mehbi yu kin trahout."

We do have auditions sometimes. Maybe you can tryout.

Odie pinks up a bit and chuckles.

“So is it just dancing or is it a circus type thing? Because I’ve got some talents I’m sure would be interesting.”

That’s vague, and they’re not inclined to elaborate further. Though judging by the way they dance, they might be double jointed.

"Iis ah thea're troupe. Weh du pleys, wi dahnse n trihks. What kaenda talints d'yu have?"

It's a theater troupe. We do plays, with dance and tricks. What kind of talents do you have?

"You'd just have to find out, wouldn't you?" they ask, doing a high kick and spinning on their toes with a bright grin. "I'm good at dancing and knitting. Maybe you need sweaters?"
