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.

[Booker doesn't look at his hand to verify what she wrote but that alone is charming, an itinerant trusting enough to believe she wouldn't give him the runaround (and she wouldn't, not unless he'd earned it). With business concluded she lets her eyes wander over the sharp line of his shoulders as they shift a little, still uncomfortable with the venue.

Nothing Special at all, no glamours or prickles of power. Just a good-looking human in the wrong bar.]

I...like spicy food, [she responds almost demurely, leaning in to rest her chin in one hand.] But no restrictions to speak of.

[Evelyn bites her lower lip around a smile.]

Surprise me.

[ So much for the night being a waste. He's still not entirely sure how it happened but he's not going to go questioning it. At the very least he can tell Elizabeth he went and talked to people. It would go a long way towards getting her off his back. ]

I get the feeling you're a hard one to surprise. [ He pauses. ] Not that I won't give it a shot anyway.

[ But he think of a few places that might make for an interesting first date. ]

I'll give you call tomorrow with the details.
