Test Drive Meme: August 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.)

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.

Well. Isn't this a nuisance? Quite partial to the odd fight, this one; truth be told, he didn't care much one way or the other about the insult and he laughed along with his new punching bag. A keen eye obviously noted the way he was holding his beer by the neck of the bottle because now there's someone standing between him and the nose he was intending to break.

Eames can feel the magic rolling off the witch, and if he had to guess he'd say the stuffy-looking old man's Daybreak to boot. It makes him pre-emptively bored of the entire situation, but his tone is perfectly genial as he addresses this interloper.

"Pardon me," he smiles, putting a hand on Giles' shoulder to try and gently usher him out of the way, "but typically one is supposed to ask before they cut in."

Giles could feel something from him: power, of a sort that makes him cautious, makes him stop and take notice. The man isn't familiar, but he does recognize the tension of a bottle held just so, the stance that signals all hell about to break loose. Giles has had a little too much chaos in his night already, and it wears on his patience in a dangerous way. He is standing before he can regret doing so.

And now that grip is heavy on his shoulder. He smiles back, with no amusement at all, and makes himself very steady and solid under the man's hand. He radiates mild but stubborn insistence, and does not budge. "Then I'm very sorry to interrupt."

Witches are not known for their ability to take punches. In public, with a Daybreak sense of discretion about magic, he is simply a very bold or very stubborn middle-aged man. As a rule, it will end with no one bleeding, or his nose broken, and nothing much in between.
