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.

"No need to apologise, I'm used to it. She tends to get attention."
She is, in fact, fussing around Siobhan's feet now. Hello, human! Hello! Why did you stop playing! Why? It was a good game! Lancelot hooks a hand around her cheek and ruffles at her fur, scritching under her chin a little and digging in his pockets for the treat he got her before as he moves to sit down.
"Are you here for the carnival? I know most people are, but... not everyone. I've seen a few people try to escape it."
no subject
"Aye, it seemed like a good time. I like me some excitement every now and then."
It can get a bit much, of course, all those emotions everywhere, but she's been in big cities enough at this point that she's mostly used to it.
no subject
He holds out a dog biscuit to Lily and she takes it from his hand carefully, does an excited little dance in front of him before settling down to chew on it. Her back teeth crunch happily on it while Lancelot dusts off bits of dog biscuit from his hand with a wince.
"Have you travelled far, or are you local?"
no subject
"I wouldn't say I'm local just yet, but I've lived her for a while now. Before that I sort of went where the wind took me."
Her accent ought to be a relatively good clue as to where her travels started, she figures.
no subject
Hands suitably brushed off he carefully extracts a doughnut from the bag, smirking a little at Lily as she looks up. What's this? What is he eating? Is it for her? No, not all food is for dogs -- even if she might hope it is.
no subject
Said around a bite of donut because what are manners.
"It's an interesting place. Lots to see and do, I love hanging out in the museums."
They're super cool, and many of them you can get into without paying which is A+ super great for someone who lives on the brink of total brokeitude a lot of the time.
