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.

Unless you wanna break your teeth or get sick you better cook it. Which I gotta say that microwave-- best thing about this era.

[He can forget Stark for not bring the flying cars he promised, because that thing was a close second. He could do with it it setting metal on fire though.]

He didn't do shit. I just thawed out nice.

[He smirked as he nudged him with the basket.]

[ The best thing? Really? Steve looks at him, promptly takes the bag of peas, and dumps them into the basket without much ceremony. Just for that, they're going to spend another £2 for it, and he's going to like it. It's a worthy sacrifice. ]

Is that what we're going with? [ He shakes his head and wanders on down past the frozen food to look at the novelties. Steve pauses, eyeing the cakes and pies and ice cream. ] You think any of it tastes good? [ Was it even worth the £4? Probably not... ]

[He folloved the bag with his eyes and frowned slightly when Steve just dumps them in. They are paying for it, they might as well not bust them before even getting to the check out.]

I'm going with it. [He muttered as he followed after him. He straighten up a bit as they came to the other section. He had only seen cakes and pies like this in diners. The idea that they could get them whenever they wanted was kind of mind blowing.]

Maybe. That one looks like the ones your ma always made.

[He would spend the money for that...]

[ It might not be the best thing to tease him about, but he certainly doesn't want this trip to the store to drag up things they haven't had the time to completely process or talk about. Steve isn't too keen on making any of this harder on Bucky than it has been already, so he just gives him a smile and opens the freezer door to retrieve the one he's talking about. He hadn't thought about her in so long... ]

Yeah. [ The affirmation is quiet, though he wavers between putting it back and setting it in the basket. ] What've we got so far? [ He still doesn't remember how much money they'd figured for this, though he's guessing not as much as what they've picked up already. ]

Milk, peas, eggs, bread, and now cake.

[....This is the weirdest mix he has ever seen. They can't even make anything out of this. He grabs his wallet from his back pocket. He is almost afraid to open it. While the military was helping them with rent, food was something they were on their own for.]

Nothing we can put together for dinner.

[They needed more, or at least Steve did. He opened the wallet and pulled out whatever was in it. There was atleast 50 there but he wasn't sure there hat was gonna get them far.]

To think this could have fed us a fucking month before.

[He did not like this part of the future.]
