Test Drive Meme: Feb/March 2016
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) COMMON PEOPLE. What do normal Londoners do every day anyway? Sometimes you just want to blend in with everyone else. Make friends with humans. Talk about the weather. Go on, try it.
2) PENTHOUSE SUITE. But wait. Maybe you want to see how the other half live. The elite of the elite. You've been lucky enough to be asked to a meeting, or a luncheon, or a date. Find out what the most powerful people in London are really like.
3) GET OUT YOU FILTH. Supernatural prejudice is a regrettable fact of life in London. It doesn't matter what you are, there's someone out there who hates you because of it. They'll shun you, heckle you, even hunt you down and kill you. Of course, you're probably not immune to a few prejudices yourself.
4) SPEED DATING. Oh god. Why did you sign up to this. You should have known it was a bad idea when someone mentioned it was supernatural speed dating. Help.
5) THE REAL UNDERGROUND. Down in the darkest corners of the Tube, there are supernatural vagrants of all kinds, especially vampires. That friendly busker may well be a fae. That girl waiting for the next train is a ghost. Once you've seen it, you can't escape from it.
6) IN THE SUPERMARKET. On the other hand, you never know what you might find just walking around your local supermarket. You haven't forgotten how to do normal things like groceries, right?
7) A CURSED EXISTENCE. Maybe you literally are cursed. Maybe you just feel like it sometimes. There are things you can't do, weaknesses that normal humans aren't subject to, but they make everyday life in London that little bit more difficult. Try not to get too mad about it.
8) CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE. Anything goes.
4 I couldn't help myself
Oddly enough, it's the older vampire's prompt that helps Natasha get her bearings.]
Love? [She repeats the word like she's unsure of the language. Her accent adds to the impression, though her English is clear enough when she responds.] Now that is a game I'm too old for.
actually had half a tag written for your top level when i saw this :'D also sorry for the wait ;;
Clever girl. Both a game, and something that wears quickly, isn't it? [ in the traditional sense, at least. lucrezia's had loves in her life, and she's lost them all. save for her brother, but that's the promise of him - that he's the one thing she won't lose. ] But if played right, it can be a weapon as well.
[ but that's a longer chat than they have time for. ]
Alright. Your turn. Pick a word.
It's fine! I'm not in a rush.
If this woman wants to play, they can play. It's only a few minutes.
Natasha isn't comfortable, no, but she can handle that. Her answer is only a half beat too late to seem natural.]
My turn. [Might as well make the most of it. The question was what would give her the most information without exposing too much herself.] Let's go with, "history."
