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.

He nodded again and waited until Jason was out of the room before calling over to him, "And don't forget your keys this time, neither. If I'm gonna wake up, I don't wanna have get out of bed."

Mostly because when Daryl was sleeping he liked to stay asleep. His cat naps were very comfortable affairs.

"I won't, I won't. Yeesh. Forget your keys one time..." Jason was grinning, though, grabbing his keys and disappearing them somewhere on his person that...well. It was probably better not to try to figure out where he'd stored them, honestly.

"You banged on the door and warbled like you was gettin' murdered out there." Maybe an exaggeration, but he had thought there was trouble from the hammering. "You do that again and you'll wish you were."

The threat had no actual venom to it. Was complete hyperbole. But it made Daryl feel better, like he was getting the final word before he went into the bathroom and slid the door shut. Only to start cursing up a storm a second later, "How in the goddamn hell did you glitter on the towels?"

"I'd have shifted, but wolves aren't common in London and you'd have gotten worse if somebody thought I was a Husky and left on the deck." Really, shifting and staying outside wasn't a massive deal for him, but people tended to take to that strangely.

He pulled on his jacket and couldn't help but laugh. Not mean, just joyful. Which might be its own sort of mean. "A guy's gotta wash his hands!" he called out, checking that he had his keys before opening the door. "Later, Daryl!"
