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.

"I suspect the answer's yes, if even by accident."
He does still shake his head at the question, though.
"I won't tell you without his permission, but - try something. If you have - or still have - a number that you can't forget, no matter what you try, try writing it down in a journal. It might surprise you what you find."
no subject
He tilts his head, his attention suddenly riveted. "It just so happens I DO have a number in my head. It was a sort of left-over from the day of my vision. I'll try what you suggest. Are you going to give me any hints as to what will happen?" Smile.
no subject
The crowd ahead of them (what little of it remains moving) is slowing down, so Walter only has just enough time to turn around and whisper:
"We'll be able to see what you write. Or say; audio seems to work as well, and pictures."
no subject
He's noticed the crowd is slowing down and he starts craning his head again, trying to see if there's another interesting sight ahead.
But again, his attention is completely caught by Walter's whisper.
"Who is this we that would see what I write?" he asks.
Nearing thread end, I think. Thank you for the character- and world-building!
You're welcome! And thank you!
"There's obviously a great mystery here. The Numbers and the Network. I'll believe you, Walter, and I will give it a try."
