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.

Jean-Claude had been born in a time when it had been chivalrous for men to be trained in such arts. He himself knew quite a number of court dances from bygone years that would never come to use ever again outside a vampire's gala. Of course he isn't judging Jason for his talents in the ballet. Jean-Claude happens to have season tickets, after all.
"It is no wonder you move so well on the floor, mon ami," he says, and though it's sometimes hard to tell with him, it is definitely clear that he is saying this in admiration of the other man's talents.

He takes a moment before clearing his throat, making a gesture to the bartender to get a drink. Just water because it's warm in the club. "Ah. Thank you. I didn't have a lot of reason to go clubbing before coming over here, so I'm just going with the flow, really."

Jean-Claude smiles as the other man flusters in response to his answer, and he finds it... Charming, really. He has always found it charming when a person didn't know how to take a compliment that they so rightly deserved. And ordering water at a club? He finds that equally charming as well.
"Ah, then you are a natural, mon ami," he says, leaning casually against the bar as he does. Notably not affected by the heat or the atmosphere of the club around him. He sticks out rather like a sore thumb here in his leather pants and his frilled white shirt but he obviously doesn't care one way or the other.
no subject
It has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that Jason might fall to his knees if drunk enough and offer to do some...well. Jason had, honestly, thought himself pretty much heterosexual. Apparently, he just needed the right encouragement to go up one on the Kinsey Scale.
He took a long gulp of water before offering a half smile, corner of his mouth quirked up. "Sometimes, you just end up really good at knowing which way the crowds are going." Especially when, most of the time, you couldn't see over the person in front of you.
