Test Drive Meme: August-September 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 potential players: Looking for an OOC space to brainstorm your AU? Head over to our permanent character workshop post to ask for feedback and share ideas.

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) WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE. Welcome to London! It's time to introduce yourself to your faction, to your fellow supernatural citizens, would-be friends, potential enemies... Will people quake with fear or awe when you enter the room? Or are you some nobody trying to make a name for yourself? Either way, gotta start networking.

2) THE RACE IS ON. The competition within your faction is even worse than the competition outside. That guy over there has turned sucking up to your boss into an art form. What about the woman who works out at 5am every morning and can probably punch through a wall? If you want to climb the ladder, you'd better start working harder.

3) THE WRONG DIRECTION. It's a big city and it's easy to get lost. Normally that's not such a big deal, but this time you've taken a wrong turn and ended up in hostile territory. If you're spotted by the wrong person, you could be in for a seriously bad time. Is there anyone around who can help?

4) NEVER LOSE CONTROL. You had one drink... or two... Maybe it's almost the full moon, or maybe there's some magic in the air messing with your hormones, but you're this close to going all out with your fangs or your claws or your magic. You need to get out of here, fast.

5) SWING IT, SHAKE IT. You've got a disco ball, a killer outfit and music so loud you can feel it pumping through the dance floor. Show the humans how it's done.

6) KARAOKE. It's karaoke night in one of London's favourite supernatural bars and that tone-deaf werewolf is hogging the mike again.

7) RUN AROUND. It seemed simple, right? One errand to run, just one. And yet the world seems to be conspiring against you. Your alarm didn't go off, you missed the bus or train, you got caught in traffic, someone spilled their drink on your brand new leather jacket, you tripped over and literally fell headfirst into a dumpster... Oh, God. Could this day get any worse?

8) CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE. Anything goes.

She inhales deeply. "He knows." And he wasn't happy about it. Their relationship officially had an expiration date, and she knew she was going to have to work hard to explain everything to Bill when he got released. It was going to be awful. But wonderful, to see him again. To touch him, kiss him. Be with someone that was actually, well, an adult physically.

"No, but where's the fun in proper men?" Nancy has to ask with a grin. "They're boring, ain't they? Granted I've only ever had my two, but...Well, Cooper and Bill ain't exactly proper by any means." Never mind that Cooper was on the Night Council now. But he was still hardly normal or proper.

"You'll find someone who ain't your sire."

Eponine shrugs her reply. "I would miss the fireworks, I think." But how nice, just for once, to have something normal, something calm and boring. Wouldn't it be lovely to go home to a warm house and know your man will kiss you lovingly, and there will be food, television, him with a reassuring arm around you, holding you close. That's what Eponine would love. Just for a while, just to see what it's like.

To Nancy's last comment, she simply shakes her head. "I cannot. He will... well. I shan't have more blood on my heart, you know? I should rather I am with 'Parnasse than him murder the man I love. For me, it is better to be alone always. It doesn't matter." But it does. It hurts her so much, but there's nothing to be done. Whilst Eponine has been arrested several times over the years, Montparnasse has always evaded capture. Montparnasse has often left Eponine to serve the sentence for both of them. The police cannot contain Montparnasse. She won't be free of him, unless he decides it. She swigs from her bottle.

"But to happier things, Miss! A full belly! It has been a long time, and I shall burst soon. But I don't care. It is so good!"

Nancy had always had that in Bill. There was food on the table, and she could put her arms around him and be near him and kiss him. But then there were the fights, his temper flaring...

She swallows thickly- Eponine's sire killed any man she loved. She could see it now, if she didn't do her best to convince Bill that Cooper wasn't worth it. Both men had short tempers, add a wolf and a vampire into the mix and it was going to be a blood bath.

She takes another drink.

Nancy laughs lightly. "Good! I'm glad, Eponine." Some of the color was coming back into the other woman's cheeks. "Better than me, yeah?" A bad joke, but she wanted to come back to her boyfriend with his dinner safe in her veins.
