MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

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) SOMEWHERE ONLY WE KNOW. It's that time of year when we reconnect with friends and family. Find that person you love and tell them so.

2) CHRISTMAS MARKET. There are many Christmas markets in London, not least the big one in Hyde Park. Perhaps this one has a supernatural flavour about it, if you'd care to look. Are those enchanted trinkets on sale? Does that singing snowman look just a little too realistic to you? What about that Unseelie merchant offering to make all your dreams come true. Tread carefully.

3) FULL MOON / CHRISTMAS DAY. (25th December) Oh, you poor werewolves. Why did it have to be Christmas Day? Look on the bright side: at least it wasn't Christmas Eve. You can eat as much turkey as you want before collapsing in a furry heap. Everyone else: it's time to celebrate! Maybe for once you can enjoy the holiday cheer without any supernatural drama. Just hope that your host didn't buy any magical crackers. They go off with quite a bang.

4) NEW YEAR'S EVE FIREWORKS. (31st December) The New Year's Eve fireworks display is always spectacular. Count down to midnight with Big Ben, then watch the spectacle along with the crowds. Or you could stay at home and watch it on TV.

5) LET IT SNOW. The chances of it snowing in London are relatively small, but in the Other Realm it's knee-deep snow drifts all the way. Enjoy the winter wonderland while you can, but beware of the Unseelie lurking in the shadows.

6) RAIN RAIN GO AWAY. Ah, there we go. Rain. Rain! The skies are grey, you haven't seen sunlight in days, your umbrella has blown away and you are absolutely drenched. Lovely.

7) CALL A TRUCE. The holidays are a time of peace. Maybe just this once you can have a drink with an enemy and put aside any bad blood.

8) CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE. Anything goes.
