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.

"Colorado," Clove supplies, giving a weak smile. It's all she can do, really. As much as she'd like some actual money instead of scraps, there's some sort of feeling of fair play. Mugging a fellow American when they're both out of the country? Just not cool.

"What about you?"
thephix: max (were not wide or soft enough)

Max doesn't do scraps; she offers Clover three crisp £50 notes.

"New York," A girl who's begging might be ignored by most people, but Max needs friends in this city, and she knows how resourceful people can be when they're down on their luck, "Can I buy you a coffee? If there's anywhere in this godforsaken city that actually makes decent coffee."
shenevermisses: (Pensive)

Clove isn't prone to grand displays of emotion. Being able to appear stone-faced is the mark of a good hunter. But she's been the prey for so long... Seeing those notes brings tears to her eyes, though she's quick to try and rub them away. ...Right before snatching the money like she's afraid it's going to be taken back.

Which just makes her feel stupid once she's done it. She tries to smile again.

"They've got Starbucks here, too. Don't know if you consider that decent coffee, but..."
thephix: max (translucent)

[personal profile] thephix 2015-11-22 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
There's no missing it, but Max won't comment on it or even show that she noticed it. This isn't a weakness that she wants to exploit.

"I don't, but I suppose it'll have to do," Her wallet disappears back into her purse, and she gestures at the exit of the alley, "Lead the way, Miss...?"

No one calls anyone miss anymore, Max.
shenevermisses: (Far away from here)

[personal profile] shenevermisses 2015-11-22 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm Clove," she replies. For a moment, she almost offers her hand, but... it's probably filthy. She tries to keep herself decently washed, and she's pretty good at finding public restrooms to at least clean off her hands and feet and get her hair wet. More than that comes and goes, depending on where she can find.

"A local shop might be better, if any are open now. Don't really know. I haven't had much money for coffee lately."
thephix: max (we all have a hunger)

[personal profile] thephix 2015-11-22 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
"Max, and Starbucks really is fine, I'm not as much of a snob as I pretend to be," She says it like she's letting Clove in on a secret, because that's one way to build up trust with people.
shenevermisses: (Biding time)

"Never got the appeal much myself. I mean, it's okay." Clove shrugs. Especially right now. Sure, it's overpriced, but it's warm. "But, then again, I didn't really grow up with any close."
thephix: max (and I've never)

[personal profile] thephix 2015-11-22 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
"It's the caffeine I'm a fan of, I'd inject it if I could," Of all her addictions, coffee is probably the least of her problems, but it's the one that's driving her now.

She briefly considers linking her arm through Clover's, the way she would another girl back home, but that's too familial, here, so she settles with a hand on the shoulder to guide her.
