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.

"I like museums or all sorts, so you can go ahead and suggest whatever ones you like." Jason grins at him. "I know there's an exhibition on punk music at the British Library, so that's on the itinerary for later in the week. I like a lot of things that are music or dance based."

"You could see if you can get tickets to a musical, there's a lot on at the moment. There's bound to be something you'd like. How long are you here for?"

Since, he supposes, time limits are also a thing. Tickets can be expensive extremely short notice for some of the popular shows. If you have plans it might also be tricky to work around them. He tilts his head, leaning slightly into the pole he's holding onto as he thinks. Punk music, Jason had said. We Will Rock You isn't on anymore, which is the obvious suggestion, so...

"I think Motown is still on in Shaftesbury Avenue, and Wicked is still running at the Apollo -- if you like musicals. The Lion King is always running, too."

Or at least it feels like it always has been.

"I've been told that there's usually a way to get pretty inexpensive tickets. If you know what to look for and when to look." There were always resellers and tickets for undersold shows that went cheap toward show time.

"And don't worry, I love musicals. Mostly for the dancing, honestly. Not much of a singer." Oh, he had a decent enough voice. But dancing was his first love.
