Test Drive Meme: November 2015



HAPPY HALLOWEEN.

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.)

Here are some prompts to inspire you:

1) GHOST TOWN. (31st October) Ghosts, it's your chance to shine! Whether you want to or not, actually. Even humans are more sensitive to ghostly activity tonight, so be careful where you choose to make your haunts.

2) BEHIND THE VEIL. (31st October) Even the faintest disturbance of magic could disrupt the veil between worlds tonight. Will you stumble into the Other Realm? Or will they find you? It's all blurring into one...

3) SAMHAIN. (31st October) Known to the public as Halloween and to witches as Samhain, tonight is the night when all manner of supernatural creatures come out to play and the humans will be none the wiser. Of course, if you're a witch, tonight is much more serious business. The veil between the worlds is thin, and magic can easily reach through the cracks.

4) FANCY DRESS. Or you could dress up and go to a Halloween party, where you can revel in what you are without suspicion. Just make sure you stain your costume with fake blood, not actual blood, mm'kay?

5) ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK. There's something behind you...

6) HOUSE OF HORRORS. Okay, whose stupid idea was it to venture into a haunted house tonight? Really, you're every horror movie trope waiting to happen. Hope you brought a comfortable sleeping bag.

7) BONFIRE NIGHT. (5th November) Remember, remember, the 5th of November. Gunpowder, treason and plot. Bonfire Night is a long-standing tradition in the UK, commemorating that time back in 1605 when Guy Fawkes and his co-conspirators tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament. (They failed.) Tonight, light a bonfire, set off some fireworks and watch your guy burn. Lovely, isn't it?

8) CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE. Anything goes.

Simon's a bit too tipsy to see her smile for what it is, but he finds himself taken aback for a moment. She smells...different. Like...

...Well, it is Halloween.

He gives her an awkward grin. "Well, that's good news."

Under the smell of spilled drink, she certainly smells like she could be some sort of shifter. Not cat. Not wolf. Something warm-blooded.

"I'm Njoki, or Ki if you can't manage it."

Simon himself reeks of dog (and wears a few shed white hairs without knowing it--why couldn't he turn into a short haired dog, anyway?), but he isn't paying attention to that right now. He tries not to be obvious about taking a sniff to see just what this woman is.

He just can't quite place it.

"Simon," he manages, still smiling. "Nice to meet you, though I wish it'd been under better circumstances. You're really all right?"

"It was touch and go for a while there, but I think I'll live." Either Njoki isn't interested in catching his scent or she's unable to. As far as she knows, he's a slightly clumsy fellow with a few stray hairs on his clothing.

"And the circumstances, they're not so bad either. How do you know our host?"

"I don't," Simon admits. "Friend of a friend, I think. I'm really not sure how I rated an invite, but I actually wasn't planning on coming." He shrugs. "My flatmate's an American and he said he 'misses' Halloween, so he replied for both of us and dragged me along. Now I can't find him."

Typical Matt.

"You?"

"I'm friends with a friend of theirs, but I haven't seen the people I know here yet." She'd shown up, been expected, but beyond that she doesn't actually know anyone at the party. It's all a bit awkward.

"At this point, I ought to just tell people I'm a party crasher and see if it gets me any interesting responses."
