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.

Happiness isn't for people like them. ]
Mm, he should be, me taking him off the fucking street and all.
[ Another drag of his cigarette, smoke blown out through his nose as they continue to walk. ]
You learned to cook properly while I was in?
no subject
It hadn't, yet.]
He's a smart dog, knows he's got a good home when he sees it.
[They fed him, let him into the bed, there was no shortage of love for Bullseye in their home, not while she was in it.
Nancy takes her own drag, though it's mostly for something to do with her hands, as she walks with them.] You make it sound like I was an awful cook. [She had been a basic cook. Y'know, putting pizza in the oven, ordering take-away.] Yeah, I learned to cook properly. Ain't you excited? [There was a larger chance of him returning home, then. And she'd always have something ready for him, if that's what he wants.]
no subject
[ It's not that he doesn't have faith in Nancy. He has more faith in Nancy than he's ever had in anyone other than himself. She's his for a reason, she's the best there is, the only one that really matters on this dying rock of a planet. It's just him, solid and unmoving. He barely knew how to thank her before he went in, but five years felt like ten thanks to Unseelie meddling, and what spark of warmth she might have set in him doesn't exist. Not as far as he's aware; it might not have existed at all.
Still he takes her hand in his, Bullseye's leash between them. ]

It's one of the ways she knew Bill was a good man
His hand covers hers completely, and she shifts her own hand to allow her to lace her fingers with his. It's stupid and silly, but she looks up at him and it's like there's no one else in the world. He's all that matters.]
I missed you so much, Bill.
