Test Drive Meme: December 2016/January 2017



MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

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 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) STAY ANOTHER DAY. Maybe it's just for the holidays, but if you've come to London to reconnect with friends and family, now is the time to make the most of it. And it turns out, someone is pretty keen for you to stick around. Your loved ones? Or perhaps you've been noticed by one of London's supernatural factions. Don't go just yet, friend. The city may need you.

2) CHRISTMAS DAY / BOXING DAY. (25th-26th December) Whatever you think of Christmas, it's everywhere in London. Christmas songs on the radio, Christmas lights in the streets, carol singers, and presents under the tree. Of course, in the supernatural world, the presents may just have a magical twist. What's that strange little gift from an unknown sender...?

3) NEW YEAR'S EVE FIREWORKS. (31st December) The New Year's Eve fireworks display is always spectacular. Count down to midnight with Big Ben, then watch the spectacle along with the crowds. Or you could stay at home and watch it on TV.

4) STRANDED. Your flight got cancelled. A storm delayed your train home. The hotel made a mistake with your booking and now you have nowhere to stay. Whatever the reason, you're stuck in London with nowhere to go and it is cold. Depending on where you've ended up, it might be dangerous as well. Are your kind welcome here?

5) DRINK YOUR SORROWS AWAY. Look, it's winter, it's dark, not everyone is having a good time. Might as well buy a drink... and another... and another...

6) NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION. Goodbye 2016, hello 2017. New year, new you. You've decided to make a change, maybe for yourself, maybe for the entire supernatural community. How are you getting on?

7) CALL A TRUCE. The holidays are a time of peace. Maybe just this once you can have a drink with an enemy and put aside any bad blood.

8) CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE. Anything goes.

As it just so happens, something that could be classified as beautiful (in the eyes of some at least) has found its way past the front window of her shop. Jean-Claude isn't certain he's ever seen it before, but he's not exactly in the habit of stopping at every storefront he passes by, so it's quite possible he might have missed it until this point.

Thus he makes his way inside the store and begins to poke around at the various items on display. He wonders what sort of a shop this truly is, one of curiosities perhaps? It seems much more than simple antiques, he notes, as he spots what seems to be a stuffed and mounted jackalope on the wall. He smiles at the sight of it, tilting his head slightly to the side as he considers where anyone might be able to find a place for such things in their everyday life.

[ooc: I WOULD BE HAPPY TO EDIT IF WE'D PREFER FOR THEM TO KNOW EACH OTHER!! if so, let's hash it out!]

Not everyone needs a jackalope, but those that do, simply can't live without one. Or so believes Lan.

"Welcome, welcome," she calls out from the back of the store as she makes her way up to the front until she's able to see Jean-Claude. Curious, she cocks her head to one side as colours flash and ripple over her skin while she decides how best to proceed. "Come in. I don't believe we've met."

Jean-Claude turns to reply to the voice greeting him and is struck momentarily speechless in response to the vision she makes. He does not know that he has ever seen a creature quite like her, although one breath of the air that follows her through the store tells him that she is fae. He supposes that makes sense, considering how taken he is by her. He must be on his guard, here. It is too easy for a vampire to lose themselves to one of such as herself.

"I do not believe we have," he replies smoothly, after collecting himself for a moment. "I am certain that I would have remembered you if we had."

"In that case, please, call me Lan. If your hands are cold, I can offer you tea." It's not a fulsome offer of hospitality, but given that she is not about to offer him his usual food it's the best she can do. "Now, what are you looking for? And please, be as vague or metaphorical as you might like."
