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
[Libraries and public records, mostly. Asking the occasional friend if they heard anything.
Rune gives a bit of a shrug and a smile.]
Ahm shur he's aroond hehr sumwher, though. Yuu ferried him a'ter ahl.
[I'm sure he's around here somewhere, though. You ferried him after all.]
no subject
I'll bet he's still in the country somewhere. He seemed to have a reason to come here, though he wasn't very specific about it. Yes, I ferried him here! [ A laugh. ] Just me and the ferryboat and those rattly old engines. Oh, and about twenty other crew. I wonder if he talked to anybody onboard besides me?
[ Because it would not be that hard to find and ask the crewmates. It would be more work to find the passengers on that voyage, but not impossible. ]
no subject
Well, ahs alweys, yer help iis alweys ap'reshated. Thenk yuu, mah fren.
[(Well, as always, your help is always appreciated. Thank you, my friend.
As the music comes to a stop and everyone claps, with Rune giving a few cheers of his own, he turns back to his friend.]
How aboot ah drink ahn meh, fer ol' times sakes?
Is this 2018 Pride or 2019 Pride, by the way? Or are we leaving it unspecified?
You're most welcome, Rune! I'll contact the others who were crew at the time and see if any of them spoke to him.
[ The band stops playing. Jan gives them a thunderous round of applause and a few whoops, and then he turns to Rune with a grin. ]
I'll gladly take you up on that offer! Lead the way!
Either/or is fine by me, really ^^ Shall we say 2018?
He pulls Jan to the front and places an order for something particularly fruity, and then motions for Jan to take his order.]
Dun hezztate t'order wha'ever yuu like!
[Don't hesitate to order whatever you like.]
Pride 2018 it is, then! That'll be good, since Jan's thread with Walter is the same Pride.
When the drinks come, he lifts his glass. "Sláinte mhaith!" (Which is Irish for "Good health!")
no subject
He finds a seat at the bar and gets situated into it, smiling at Jan all the while.]
So, tell meh aboot yuur atvintures! Ahm shur yuu haf much t'shehr.
[So, tell me about your adventures! I'm sure you have much to share. After all, Rune's planning on hunkering down in Mossgate for awhile. Until new clues show up.]
no subject
[ He drains half his glass. ]
Something strange happened to me in June, though. [ He downs the other half. ]
