thetube | Test Drive Meme: August 2015

"" (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.)

For prospective players: Thinking about bringing a character to the game? Feel free to comment to our Potential CR Planning meme for OOC planning and discussion.

Here are some prompts to inspire you:

1) BABY COME BACK. Is there someone you miss? Maybe you've come to visit for the first time in months. Maybe you'll even stay.

2) FULL MOON. (29th August) 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?

3) CARNIVAL. (30th-31st August) It's the August bank holiday weekend and that can only mean one thing: the Notting Hill Carnival! With the sun high in the sky, enjoy the parade, the music and of course the food. Jerk chicken, anyone?

4) SPECIAL EFFECTS. There's nothing like a touch of subtle magic to add to the occasion. Dress up and show off. Mind you, there could be other supernatural types around who see straight through your tricks.

5) PARTY ALL NIGHT. It's not over when the sun goes down. Get yourself to one of the bars or after-parties and keep on partying. Just don't drink too much. You know it makes it harder to control your powers... and your urges.

6) BRAWL. The police work hard to keep London's gangs away from Carnival. When you have supernatural gangs to contend with, their job gets a whole lot harder. Drunk and disorderly or simply looking for an excuse to cause trouble, encounters between rival factions can soon become hostile. Now are you here to cause a fight or to stop it?

7) NIGHT IN JAIL. Oops. What did you do? And who's that with you?

8) CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE. Anything goes.

"Drop him!"

Dave looks up if the rubberband noodle that he's calling a neck will let him do that, staring at his current choking choker chokey through his sunglasses with a deadpan stare. "Drop what? My balls? Buddy, they've been swinging free like my people a looong time agoooooh fuck."

Rude much? Looks like Chip is the hit it and drop it type of guy and gives Dave more reason than ever to make the guy see more stars than on the parade's dancers. At least he's out of that chokehold, not!gasping for air as he gets back on his feet and is quick to flashstep to keep a healthy distance between them now to survey the battlefield where everyone is a jerk and no one wins except the guys filming this all for Youtube. Awesome.

The asshole looks like he's going to shit enough bricks to make the big bad wolf have some nightmares and he's still going to look pained as fuck. Serves him right: Give a hit, take a shit.

Now Dave as two choices at this point he could either walk away and ahahaha yeah no let's finish this.

"Hi my name is Dave Strider and welcome to Jackass.

Eat your hearts out, Youtubers, as Dave runs at full speed at the dude looking like he's going to pee stale apple juice from his nipples as the orange feathered boy runs, jumps, and gives a hell of a dropkick that's aimed right at the chest. So he falls flat on his back and ass after that.

Worth it to hear the sounds of a man who's going to feel that in the morning and the morning after like the aftertaste of a bad night out in the pub because Dave Strider is the hangover you wish you never had but is teaching you that you're not god. It gives him a minute to catch his breath, debate his life choices, and look around the crowd of gawkers and cheerers to see if he saw what he really saw earlier because no way it could really be--

While Dave's in the process of doing a talented acrobatic pirouette off of Chip's chest, Aradia's busy completely freaking out in the poor bastard's head.

The sensation that comes with possessing a living being is hard to describe to a non-ghost. She can feel everything, down to the individual thumps of his heart and the rough abrasion of his greasy wifebeater shirt on skin, there's no chance to filter it out and it's distracting and awful and she wants it to stop. Feedback bounces between spirit and host in a ever increasing loop, and if poor Chip's not already off his rocker from the Strider-approved beatdown by tomorrow, the migraine Aradia's leaving behind would probably finish the job.

In reality, it only takes a few seconds post-escape for her to be violently ejected, but it feels like an eternity. She doesn't so much hit pavement as get absorbed into it, glitching through the surface layer and. This sucks. She misses the missing chunks of her soul all the more now. "I regret everything."

Hopefully The Dude got away safe in the meantime. She didn't get a chance to check in the confusion. Owch.

Chip and Dale are down for the count and they better be: Chip looks like he's seen some shit after taking a nasty shit and is just refusing to move, looking like a pink buff starfish trying to do photosynthesis or something. Dale is still tasting gravel for breakfast in the coming months, knocked out cold like he was hit by the Stone Cold Stunner itself. It's safe to say that this is won for sure by yours truly with a bit of help.

Go Team Strider and Pebble Rain.

Though someone had the audacity to realise maybe they should stop this before someone got a real weapon on their hands and started calling for security to break up the fight when the fight was over seven minutes ago. Get with the times, grandpa in the nipple tassels.

Realising the jig was up faster than EggMcmuffin loudly proclaiming something dweeby in an attempt to impress him, Dave gets back on his feet and is ready to hide back in the ground when the beat of his head kicks in and the memories snap in place and oh yeah wasn't there someone here but now they're not here all Deception-style?

"--Hey?" He looks around, trying to see the person through the crowd. Still around, mystery chum? Were you real or did the chokehold allow him to see the face of god which happens to be a familiar face he knows in the past or what. "Hey. I'm serious about the fist bump. Least I can do. You didn't leave me hanging so I won't leave you hanging my mysterious saviour-sempai."
