Test Drive Meme: April-May 2017



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) STRANGE TOWN. So this is London. You're in the underbelly of the city, the shadow of the Underground where the vampires and the ghosts and other strange creatures come out to play. Still, at least the Tube staff take it all in stride.

2) NO ONE CARES. You're out on the streets and you're in trouble. Maybe you don't have a bed for the night, maybe you're injured and in need of aid, maybe you just missed your train. But that's the thing about big cities: people walk past. They don't listen. They don't help. Will some kind soul take note of your plight?

3) DON'T BE WEIRD. You may not be quite an ordinary human, but that doesn't mean you can't do your shopping or order a coffee, right? No accidental magic, no letting your fangs show or whatever supernatural appendages you've got going on. Just act normal.

4) WEAR THE RIGHT CLOTHES. You're at a fancy event with black ties and finger food. Fund raising for some supernatural cause or other? Better look smart.

5) FIND A FRIENDLY FACE. Go to one of the local supernatural haunts and sit down for a well-earned drink with a friend. You earned it.

6) BURN IT UP. (1st May) The fire festival of Beltane is a time of celebration for witches, marking the beginning of summer. Come along to the bonfire for music, food and drink, flower crowns and fertility rituals.

7) LOOK IN THE MIRROR. (1st May) Beltane is also a time when the barrier between the human world and the Other Realm is at its thinnest, making it easy to pass from one realm to the other by chance. You might even have an encounter with the mysterious and mischievous fae.

8) CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE. Anything goes.

Ghoul looks at her, still with that straight-as-ever face, and raises an eyebrow. "I don't joke."

He does, however, lie his ass off. He jokes all the time, really- and after a few seconds of silence, he can't hold it anymore. He grins, briefly shoving his cup back in his face to muffle his stupid laugh. Yeah, he's definitely bullshitting. "Fine, know it all, maybe we don't." No human sacrifices or nonhuman sacrifices. Which is good to know, right?

"Y'want me to go ahead and show you where our place is? That way you can drop in whenever." He doesn't know Katherine's schedule, but she's bound to catch her sometime. Until then, it'd be a good opportunity to scout out the building and the packmembers inside it. "Just don't do nothin' to make me look bad." He does enough of that by himself.

She stares at him, slowing down and growing more confused as he keeps up the act. Her eyes start to widen, a sign she's starting to believe him before he breaks. Girl frowns, rolling her eyes and jogging to catch back up. "I knew it," she lies.

"Really? Yeah, if you're allowed to show if off or whatever." She couldn't pass up a chance at checking it out first, get a feel for the place. Her mind was already made up, but it couldn't hurt to get to meet the rest of the pack. "Don't worry, I'll be on my best behavior. I'm not gonna go pissin' on the walls or anythin'. I can play nice."

His quiet snickering makes it seem like he doesn't quite believe her on that one. In time, she'll learn better than to believe anything that comes out of his mouth.

He nods, leading her to the nearest tube station and choking back a snort of laughter at her promise of being on her best behavior. "Thank fuck for that." Acting like a wild animal and pissing everywhere is kind of Party's thing already. One of them is bad enough.

This'll be a good opportunity for him to point out a couple train lines- ones that are fine to take, ones to avoid at all costs, and ones that are sort-of-okay-under-specific-circumstances. He'll introduce her to some of the pack once they get there too, of course, and most of them are pretty mellow. They'll make a good impression, he figures.
