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.

"That's the nicest way anybody's ever called me a lump before," he states with a cheeky smile. Flattering as it may be, she's hovering a little too close for his liking, so he, in turn, leans back a bit.

"I appreciate it n'all, but I'm real bad shy." Hardly. He's not shy, but he is part of a notorious band of hellraisers in the States. He figures the more anonymous he can keep himself (and his lumpy, blocky raw-potential body), the better. Even overseas. Can't be too careful. "You popular around here?"

"Mm-hmm." Her smirk seems to suggest skepticism, but that's honestly just a default expression. Probably. "You shouldn't be. Really."

If they were to compare foreign exploits... oh, they would have a lot to talk about! Ah, Vienna... a shame she'll never be able to go back.

"Common aesthetics mean so little, honestly." She wakes her hand dismissively, maybe a little too widely. "There's so much more to life than that simplicity. I can tell. Looking at you. Your hands. Your face. You have stories, don't you?"

Ghoul tilts his head and takes a moment to just... watch her, in all her strange glory. It must be an artist thing, he thinks. She's not the first weird as fuck probably-intoxicated artsy person he's met here.

She is, however, probably the first who's convinced he's interesting. "Sure, I got stories. But that doesn't mean any of 'em are true." There's a nervous little laugh as he looks down at his hands, busying himself with wrapping the rag around the worse one. He's still bleeding sluggishly in a couple places, but it'll be fine. It'll heal fast- werewolf perks.

"Tch," Ramona clucks, sitting back, finally giving him some little bit of space. "Truth." She makes a jerky, dismissive sort of motion with her hand. "Truth is what you make it. A good story can become the truth, with enough will behind it." Her dark eyes have lit up a bit, her back has pulled up straighter, in that way that hints at something she could, oh, go on about for ages.
