"" (Watch on YouTube)

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.

"Kinda too late for that."

It's demented to kind of joke at a scene like this, but she can't help it as she steps closer and takes the jacket, pulling it on over her clothes. The blood's mostly dry, at least, so it won't stain. Much.

"Found him an' got blood on me. Gotta hope they test an' it's good enough t' prove the blood on the keys ain' his."

And that she couldn't have made those kind of wounds on him. The last thing she needs right now is to face a murder charge. And 'watch me on the next full moon, if I killed him, I'll turn into a wolf' isn't exactly a rock solid defence outside the supernatural community.

There are only so many ways you can react to a scenario like this. Humour is better. Humour makes it bearable if only for a bit.

"You attacked the person who was attacking him?. Huh." Talk about mugging the murderer. He keeps his ears out for any strange sounds, like footsteps or, preferably, a car coming their way, but he can focus enough on her to keep a conversation going. "Pretty brave of you. Kind of reckless too if I can add that. Looks like they were going at it when you decided to step in."

Matthew hopes that she didn't get a good look of the person's face or the person doesn't realise it if that's the case. Last thing she needs is a target on her back. "You have someone to call if the coppers go ahead and try to stir shit with you, right?"

"Well, kinda more like--" She shrugged her shoulders. "Saw it, screamed, an' the asshole came at me. Got hold of me, tried t' fuck with me, an' I stabbed him with some keys."

Not really a Good Samaratin act, really. So she might have shouted more than she'd screamed, but she hadn't meant for him to really notice her. Just startle a bit. So maybe the bastard he was making a meal of could get away. Not that it'd worked.

"Guess my aunt can help. Think she knows some people who'd be able t' help, yeah."

"That's good to hear." He rubs the back of his neck, wincing at the thought of. "The coppers are most likely going to try and pin the blame on us since it'll be easier than looking for a guy who tried to bleed some hobo dry through the neck. That's a fuckin' weird way of getting black market blood or get in a gang but hey. Guess the kids are all 'bout makin' waves or something."

This is definitely in the 'something' category because he cannot, for the life of him, understand why a kid would do this sort of thing to join a gang. Peer pressure can only explain so much after all.
