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.

gordianknots: Fate/strange fake manga (Never set it never settle in a time zone)

"Thank you," Waver says, not missing that look at all. "I've found that when I have it attached to my mobile, my service is far better."

A neat explanation, all while dancing around the subject. Waver is about to elaborate when he gets a text back, and as he types another response, he continues. "The charm was just a gift from a friend who thought it'd be funny."
knowstheworld: commission - do not take (reading)

Childermass is perhaps impressed if anything by the levels of evasion that the other man is practicing. But it is doing him no favors, not in front of him at least. There is no point in hiding such things from a man who is the direct assistant of one of the most powerful witches in the city, no matter what his proclivities.

Childermass nods slightly, taking the opportunity to glance around and make certain that they will not be overheard, before continuing. "Perhaps the gift was from a friend. But I've a mind to believe that the magic upon it is yours, sir," he drawls, mildly.

"You're right enough," Waver says with an elegant shrug. He's never been one for politics of London's supernatural side - he fights with the university administration and inter-department matters enough to simply not want to add more to his load. Funny that he keeps his nose out of trouble on matters of magic when he's all but a thorn in the side when it comes to academia.

"But then, I really only use things for practical matters."
knowstheworld: do not take (yes norrell?)

Childermass is not one for them himself either. Not exactly anyway. He will never be seen making a claim for territory or a bid for a seat on the Night Council. Not in the foreseeable future anyway. But he is under the service of Mr Norrell, a great man who just happens to need a terrible amount of guidance. And so he does his part, in a backwards sort of way. He just doesn't get the credit for it. He makes rather certain that no one notices him at all. It's better that way. For Norrell and himself both.

"A practical scientist," Childermass hums idly. "Who'd have thought it."

"I'm a genuine novelty," Waver says, with the same self depreciating smile he often deploys when department meetings get too intense and some wry statement is all that's needed to return things to normal. "And I'd prefer it to remain that way."

Not that Waver expects his conversation partner to really see anything in him worth using.
