Test Drive Meme: April/May 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 and canon 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) GOING UNDERGROUND. For some people, London is an escape. A place to be anonymous. A place to be themselves. Or a place to hide. Steeped in ancient magic, it attracts supernatural types from all over the world. Of course, that doesn't mean its inhabitants are always friendly to newcomers.
2) CHOOSE YOUR LEADERS. The Night Council election campaign is in full swing and on 5th May the supernatural community votes for its leaders. Visit any supernatural haunt and you'll find people arguing about who to vote for – not to mention the volunteers handing out badges and flyers in an effort to win your support. Try to keep it civil, folks.
3) THE PUBLIC WANTS WHAT THE PUBLIC GETS. (29th April) The Night Council candidates gather in a town hall in Westminster to explain why the supernatural community should vote for them. Traditionally a noisy and raucous event, it's your last opportunity tohecklequestion the candidates before the election. There are four separate Q&As: first up are the candidates for Shapeshifter/Meta Human representative; then candidates for Witch Representative; then Vice President; then finally the candidates for President will take to the stage. They each make a short speech and then take questions from the audience. Or if you want, you could just turn up for a free meal: in the room next door there's a sandwich buffet plus tea, coffee and fruit juice, so it's a good opportunity to mingle.
4) FIRE FESTIVAL. (1st May) The fire festival of Beltane is a time of celebration for witches, marking the beginning of summer. Come along to the bonfire for music, food and drink, flower crowns and fertility rituals.
5) SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES. (1st May) Beltane is also a time when the barrier between the human world and the Other Realm is at its thinnest, making it easy to pass from one realm to the other by chance. You might even have an encounter with the mysterious and mischievous fae.
6) WHAT'S DONE CANNOT BE UNDONE. You've gone too far, done something you know you'll regret. Maybe you ran away, broke a promise, even committed a crime. Maybe you've been supernaturally transformed. Either way, there's no going back.
7) WHAT ANGEL WAKES ME FROM MY FLOWERY BED? Oh, sweet mortal. There's an enchantment on you that makes you suddenly, devastatingly attractive. Especially to more magical types.
8) CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE. Anything goes.

[Usually it was more magical drugs, but unfortunately her supply to that had been cut off. So she was here with mundane drugs.]
D'you want some or not?

How do I know I can trust you? I'm not about to just take weed from some stranger's purse, that's the first thing they teach you in year 1! Stranger danger! For all I know, you're just using this weed as bait to lure me into your white van and sell me into child prostitution!
...or worse, regular prostitution with some baby fetish shit thrown into it.
no subject
There just hadn't been a white van. Just an old, miserly fae.
She swallows and lifts her chin.]
I wouldn't do that to someone. [Her voice is soft. But she takes a moment to center herself.] Trust me or not, I'm offering what you want, and if you don't want my weed, I'm sure someone else will.
no subject
Oh, well, now that you've said "trust me," I guess I have to trust you!
Come on, I'm not five, I need a little more reassurance than that! [He stills while he tries to think of a way to make sure that he can trust this girl. And then he figures it out.]
Smoke it.
no subject
fine. Follow me out of the pubic eye. [she gestures for him to follow her towards a more secluded back section of the festival. not many care, but she'd rather avoid unnecessary trouble.]
no subject
Well, don't mind if I do!
[And he follows behind.]

Nancy leads them to an abandoned bench and takes a seat. A bit of fumbling in her purse and she produces a one-hitter looking just like a cigarette. She shows it to him, so he can tell it's got weed in it.
Then, because they're at a fire festival, she summons a small flame on the tip of her finger and uses that to light up. Inhale, hold, inhale and exhale. In his face.]
how much do you want now?
lol pretend i'm not horrendously late i'm so sorry
you're totally good!
It's human weed. D'you want the magic stuff?
no subject
....Does it do anything different than human weed?
no subject
Costs a little bit more.
[Congrats on making this harder than it needs to be, Nathan. She's had johns come to conclusions faster.]
