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.

[ Karkat squints so hard his face almost ruptures into a black hole. He lost track of the dick metaphor as soon as it was mentioned, but now he's even more lost because he's not certain if he's sucking dicks now or if he missed out on sucking dicks, and whether or not he should feel good or bad about that. ]

Are you high right now, is that it? [ He says like he doesn't know that Dave is always like this. ] If I won then yes I'd be a drunken prick and an insult to everyone who knows how to use a toothbrush and a bar of soap but at least I'd be content with my shaved head, ugly faded tattoos and worn out, colour-coordinated adidas tracksuit-- and most importantly I wouldn't be sitting here listening to you ferment my braincells with your penis analogy, so as far as the dick sucking goes, I think this sucks more dicks than winning the fight would because Mr Scott Free is currently sitting in the reception area with a glass of water waiting for a taxi!

[ He points with his hand in the vague direction of the reception area. Just to cement his argument. Luckily for Karkat and his twitching short fuse, Dave's next comment is much easier to translate, and he gladly abandons their loud conversation about genitals in favour of it. ]

I called Sollux and gave him an asthma attack so at this point, who fucking knows.
