Test Drive Meme: Feb/March 2016

"Pulp - Common People" (Watch on YouTube)

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.

I'm working on my LPC right now - at City. We're working on Criminal Litigation right now for our core unit. I'm thinking about taking an advanced one for my elective.

[devilsavocado]

[ Bullet dodged, thank you for keeping it going, Connor. ]

Litigation, huh?

[ He can see it, Connor handles himself like someone who'd enjoy the attention of a courtroom. It's not like Matt doesn't enjoy it too. ]

Well, it's a lot of work, but it's worth it. You help a lot of people.

[iustitiae]

[connor smiles, nodding. he can kind of tell what matt isn't saying, about seeing it. litigators could all kind of tell. it took a special kind of person to want to get up and argue in front of a full room of people.]

Is that what you do, then?

[devilsavocado]

It's my specialty. But when you have your own practice, you kind of do whatever needs doing.

[ He says it like it's no big deal. Because it totally isn't!! ]

[iustitiae]

Having your own practice is impressive - especially in this climate.

[then, as a joke, but in that like i'm only saying it as a joke because i actually mean it way] But, hey, if you need an apprentice, I'll be free this summer.

[he hopes. unless annalise never lets go of them.]

[devilsavocado]

[ From failed flirting to an apprenticeship, what is this. Matt's actually surprised. ]

Well, I'm sure not gonna turn down free labor.
