Test Drive Meme: August/September 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) HOUSE OF FUN. Whether it's your first time in London or you've lived here all your life, you hear that this is the place to be for someone like you. A place to let loose, have fun, and embrace your true nature, whatever that may be.

2) THE LION'S DEN. And this is not the place to be. This is the enemy's camp and if they catch you...

3) IT'S QUICKER IF YOU RUN. So here's the game: you run, they chase. You might even escape, with a bit of luck... or maybe some help.

4) THE GREAT BRITISH BAKE-OFF. Be inspired and make some cupcakes, attend a cake sale, or try home-baking with your friends. Who says supernatural creatures can't have a sweet tooth?

5) SUMMER = BBQ. Another great British tradition: the moment the sun appears, it's time to get out the barbecue and enjoy some slightly-burnt burgers and hotdogs. With summer fading, what are you waiting for?

6) THE CHEMIST. Even creatures of the night occasionally require a visit to the pharmacy. Bit awkward when you recognise a fellow supernatural being waiting for a prescription though...

7) STUCK ON THE TUBE. The Underground would like to apologise for the delay to this service. It's probably a signal failure. Not a supernatural trap or anything, nope.

8) CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE. Anything goes.

house of fun - you were probably expecting Natasha

[Angela isn't out for fun. She's out looking for bargains—making deals. That's what she does. In particular, she's looking for a hunt. A place like this, she knows what to look for—what she finds is something entirely different.

She moves into place beside the prince, tall and imposing.]


Highness. [Perfunctorily. Angela does not project respect.] I wasn't aware you were in London.
partybro: (phone's blowin' up)

[personal profile] partybro 2016-08-27 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Angela, isn't it?

[he smiles a little shyly. he's not one to demand respect the way his brother does; the title does him no good. but it's embarrassing to be caught here, even if embarrassment and he had long since parted ways.]

This is not a place I would expect to find you, I must admit.

You remember correctly.

[Angela shifts slightly, aware of his discomfort but unsure how or even if she ought to accommodate that discomfort.]

It seems we are even in that, then.

I don't suppose this is one of those "I won't tell if you won't tell" moments, is it?
withoutprice: (Victoria's Secret Angels.)

[personal profile] withoutprice 2016-08-28 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
It wasn't. However... [With Angela, there's always the opportunity.] If you'd prefer I don't bring it up, that can be arranged.

[At a price.]
partybro: (feel my tears as they dry)

[personal profile] partybro 2016-08-28 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
No, it's fine.

[way worse has made it back home to his family, so whatever.]

Not everything has to be a deal you know.

[except from what he'd head about her, it always did.]
withoutprice: (Angels)

[personal profile] withoutprice 2016-08-28 07:59 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps not, but everything has a price.

[And conversely, nothing was ever free.]

If you don't know what it is, then chances are you're being taken advantage of.

[ander sighs. she is probably right but this is rather sobering up the mood here!!]

You probably have a point. But shouldn't we be getting merry? Enjoying the...cultural exchange?
withoutprice: (Guardian Angels.)

[personal profile] withoutprice 2016-09-05 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
It wasn't my intention to imply you should not. It's what you're here for, isn't it?

[It is an exchange of sorts, she supposes, and the prince seems to be getting what he wishes out of it.]

But that is not what I am here for.

[he's quiet for a moment, trying to think about how he wants to proceed. finally:]

Anything I can help you with?
