Test Drive Meme: August/September 2016

"" (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 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.

He never likes people leavin' him, Nance. Says it's breakin' up the family.

[stauncherhearted]

Then maybe he should look at how he raises his family. [Cold and hard, there's no light in her eyes.]

[knowntohisfriends]

[And there's a dimness in the Dodger's eyes, as he half turns from her, annoyed]

Reckon some of us turned out alright. Even if you don't reckon it, anymore.

[stauncherhearted]

[She presses her lips together.]

That ain't what I meant.

[knowntohisfriends]

Sounded like it.

[stauncherhearted]

[She takes a deep breath.]

It's not.

[knowntohisfriends]

Then what was it meant to mean?

[stauncherhearted]

It's meant to mean... Look, he ain't the sort I'll have anywhere near my children. That's what I'm saying.

[knowntohisfriends]

Well, ain't that big of you. Your new fancy man know you're reckoning about kids?

[stauncherhearted]

[Nancy makes a slightly petrified face.]

Oi! Shut up- his name is Cooper, for one, and for two, he can't have kids. [a beat, and she tries to seem a bit more light.]

And I've still got you lot to take care of, don't I?

[knowntohisfriends]

Your lot alright with you comin' round here?

[stauncherhearted]

My lot? [What lot?] They don't get a say in where I go or who I see. Just how it is.

[knowntohisfriends]

[Dodger nods, tucking that little bit of information away for later on. It could be useful, or he'd make it useful. Not sure yet]

[stauncherhearted]

[He doesn't believe her. She's pretty sure about that.]

I'll try to come over more often, how does that sound?

[knowntohisfriends]

[He tilts his head, considering]

Reckon it might help a bit.

[stauncherhearted]

Alright, I'll do what I can.

[knowntohisfriends]

[He nods]
