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.

There was no denying she'd dressed up for someone to see her tonight.
"What're you thinkin' about? An' don' tell me it's how pretty I look. Somethin's on your mind."
And she knew (roughly) what it was. Which was why she just had to ask. It was always a little too fun to get someone to admit to nerves.

"What if I do want to say you're pretty? Because you are." His hand was toying with her collarbone. He wasn't going to go any lower until he had express permission to do so.
"I've never done this before. Gone home with a girl I barely know, I mean. It's all a bit new."
And with Simon's luck, now would be her cue to realize what an impossible idiot he was and kick him out.

Skip moved forward, putting her arm back around his neck while her other hand touched the back of his and led it down over the lace, pressing on the back of his fingers to encourage a bit of applied pressure.
She knew plenty about taking strange boys back with her. And this one had the same problem a lot of them did. That much, she was perfectly used to. Hell, the last one she'd brought home had done the exact same thing.
Skip leaned close to kiss his jaw and mutter the words in his ear, low and almost purred. "Don't think."
All the handwaving.
Was he still nervous? Hell yes.
Did he care? Hell no.
