Test Drive Meme: October/November 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) DEEPER UNDERGROUND. It's easy to get mired in the supernatural in London. There are places where you won't see a single normal human being. Once you've joined a coven or a pack or a nest or any of the other supernatural groups in the city, it's hard to back out.
2) IN THE SHADOWS. What is that in the corner of your eye? In that dark corner over there, was that a flicker of movement? There's definitely something. You should investigate.
3) DON'T PANIC. It's fine! So maybe you accidentally used magic in public or a creature of the night is following you down a dark alley or you can't get those blood stains out of your clothes or you're trying to work up the courage to ask someone out on a date. It'll be fine. You'll be fine.
4) SAMHAIN. (31st October) Known to the public as Halloween and to witches as Samhain, tonight is the night when all manner of supernatural creatures come out to play and the humans will be none the wiser. Of course, if you're a witch, tonight is much more serious business. The veil between the worlds is thin, and magic can easily reach through the cracks.
5) DRINKS ON YOU. (31st October) This Halloween there are a number of vampire raves taking place around London as the Islington Nest gets drunk and high on fae blood. Visitors beware: venture into the wrong place and you may well find yourself on the menu.
6) HOUSE OF HORRORS. Okay, whose stupid idea was it to venture into a haunted house tonight? Even humans are more sensitive to ghostly activity around Halloween, so let's hope the ghosts here are friendly...
7) BONFIRE NIGHT. (5th November) Remember, remember, the 5th of November. Gunpowder, treason and plot. Bonfire Night is a long-standing tradition in the UK, commemorating that time back in 1605 when Guy Fawkes and his co-conspirators tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament. (They failed.) Tonight, light a bonfire, set off some fireworks and watch your guy burn. Lovely, isn't it?
8) CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE. Anything goes.

It would seem he's not alone, however, a fact made apparent by not only the sound of footsteps in front of him, but now the calling of a voice in his direction. He stops himself and considers his response. He could just walk away, of course, but who is not to say that she might not come after him in turn. He feels...something from her, although across the distance, it is hard to tell. Whoever and whatever she is, though, he knows there is magic about her.
He lingers in the dark for a moment longer before he steps forward towards her. "Forgive me, madame," he replies, slinking forward with the creak of leather boots and dry leaves underfoot. "I did not mean to startle you." Unlike Morgause, Jean-Claude will always have the need for dramatics.
no subject
Morgause isn't a delicate prey animal about to flit away into the trees at the first sound. She stays put, pushing back her hood so her field of vision is clearer and revealing waves of blonde curls.
"Were you following me?"
A straightforward question. He might have simply been in the area, but equally he might have trailed her for some reason. She won't know unless she asks.
no subject
"If I were to tell you that we were merely traveling the same path at the same time, would you believe me?" he asks, tilting his head at her slightly. Playing off how handsome he is, even as dark as it is here. Does she know who he is? What he is? He's not going to lie about it, but he's certainly not going to announce himself either.
