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.

"Oh, I have my share of fun. I get to meet a lot of interesting people, for example."

And it does bring her a lot of joy to work her craft when she can, especially when she can make magical items, that is her favourite thing of all.

She may not see eye to eye with her mother about a lot of things, but she will always be grateful that she saw Siobhan's potential in that area and let her learn early on about how to work with precious metals and stones.

"Am I interesting, now that I've proven how sorry I am?" Reynard finished off his last doughnut hole and balled the bag up in his hand, managing to throw it into a rubbish bin as they passed it. "I would like to at the very least qualify as 'odd', if at all possible. Perhaps mildly entertaining?"

There was always that moment of revealing knowledge of things not everyone up here would know about, but there was no rush.

[growsowngoats]

"I think most people are pretty interesting."

Said with a bit of a teasing tone, as if she was both saying that he was interesting and that he shouldn't be getting too big an ego about it.

[smugfox]

"Certainly. At the very least if you're interesting enough yourself to draw it out in them."

There was too much of Reynard's ego to be deflated all that easily and it definitely took more to hurt it. "But I'll take the challenge. You'll just have to tell me at what point I've become more than merely interesting. I'll settle for fascinating."

[growsowngoats]

Alright, that made her laugh, which wasn't a hard thing to accomplish really but nice all the same.

"Sounds like I'm in for a very entertaining walk."

[smugfox]

"Has anyone ever told you that your laugh would make the sun rise? In a metaphorical sense at least, technically it would have to make the Earth move for a similar effect and that just seems inconvenient." Reynard grabbed her arm lightly, just enough so he could steer her to actually turn at the next corner. He had no idea where they were going, but might as well appear as if he did.

[growsowngoats]

Well, her face certainly turned one of the colours of sunrise at that comment.

"No, can't say that has happened before."

[smugfox]

"Then other people are clearly either blind or shy. Probably a bit of both. Usually is." Of course he saw her blush, deciding that it made her look even more lovely, but not commenting on that. He had to walk the line between being himself and coming on too strongly. "Siobhan. How do you like this city so far?"

[growsowngoats]

"I like it well enough. Bit lonely sometimes maybe, but that'll change soon enough."

She just needed to be there long enough to make friends, that was all.
