Test Drive Meme: June 2015
Welcome to the Underground test drive meme! This is where you can try out the AU version of your character, start some potential CR and get a feel for the world of the game. Choose your character's species, read up on the available factions and you're ready to go. Put your character's name in your subject line when you post, tag out, and have fun!
Note to current players: Activity in this meme counts as game canon! So you can use it for activity check. If you end up playing anything that you can't or don't want to use as game canon, it's fine to ignore it. (In that case you shouldn't submit it for activity check.)
Here are some prompts to inspire you:
1) LONDON CALLING. People come to London from all corners of the earth. Now you're here and whether you meant to or not, you've been drawn in to the supernatural world. Perhaps you're here to meet other members of your faction. Or perhaps the city's more unusual inhabitants find you first.
2) DARK SIDE. Whether it's animal instincts, a lust for blood or uncontrollable magic, every supernatural being struggles with their darker instincts. Be careful, you may end up doing something you regret.
3) ENEMY TERRITORY. You've found yourself on the wrong side of the tracks. This is enemy territory, you shouldn't be here. Better hope you can sneak your way through without any trouble. Although you have this nagging feeling that you're being followed...
4) GET YOUR SHOVEL. Well, there's a body. Freshly killed, and they didn't come to a natural end. The question is, did you do it or was it someone else? You'd better sort this mess out quickly.
5) STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM. It's the Wimbledon finals, so grab a picnic basket, buy some horribly overpriced strawberries, choose your tennis-themed outfit and get yourself off to SW19. Sure you can handle large crowds? Now is not the time for a supernatural mishap.
6) JUST DANCE. It's a ceilidh! (Barn dance.) Organized by witches but open to all (friendly) newcomers, the dance takes place in an old music hall. There's food, drink, folk music and a magical ritual to bless all young single people attending who are looking for a partner. You never know, your next dance partner might be the one.
7) FULL MOON. (2nd July) Uh oh, it's that time of the month. Werewolves, have you been feeling more aggressive lately? A little short of temper? Better start preparing for your monthly transformation and hope that you don't get interrupted. And then there's the morning after, which feels like a massive hangover. Wait, where are your clothes?
8) CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE. Anything goes.
David Reid | Day Men | Human
Another morning, another accident to clean up after. David cards a hand back through his hair, staring the length of the hall as it runs a ribbon of madder red toward the opposite end of the flat. A pair of feet peek from behind the sofa, one socked and one not, the flesh of the latter the mottled grey-blue of easily recognizable death, a hint of purple at the heel where the blood has settled.
He glances around the place, at the spray decorating the walls. Jesus. "What blood is left," he mutters to himself, cut off when his eyes land on a hand on the kitchen counter. Just a hand, the black lacquered nails curling in toward the palm. The rest of her is beneath the table, rigor locking her expression at death into a semi-permanent snarl.
"If Islington is going to tangle with the East End again, I need a budget approval for more body bags," David tells his contact drily, and zips his PPE up to the throat.
Just Dance
Life isn't just babysitting the thirsty undead while the bulk of them sleep, and handling things more suited to an impermanent human touch, it can have its high moments. His off time is never really his own time, as he's here to network - or, as Casey put it with a smirk, "make some new friends" - but David finds himself enjoying the music, the energy, the life.
Maybe a bit too much. What's in this drink? but he's finished his cup of the communal punch and offering his hand to the next pretty, amiable-looking woman he sees. "Up for a dance?"
GET YOUR SHOVEL
Ella-- No. Sorry. That's not right. Let's try that again.
Elissa sighs in frustration as she surveys their surroundings and winches a bit at the carnage that she can see. She likes to think she has a strong stomach for this but this is ridiculous. The only thing that keeps her from backing out of the room is the promised pay she'll get after this is all over.
It isn't a lot but it's better than nothing when her cases are more of a drip than a feed these days. "You think they would be more cautious to not bring attraction to themselves like this."
