Test Drive Meme #2

Welcome to Theian Night's test drive meme! We appreciate the interest! Feel free to visit our FAQ page for additional information about the game and setting, our reserves here, and our application page here. Reserves are currently open. Applications open on October 1st!

Threads may be considered game canon if both parties are accepted and agree to it. You do not need special permission for this. In addition, should you find yourselves agreeable to a roommate situation threaded on the test drive, you may request the desired housing HERE and it will likely be honored.


~ Comment to this post with your character's name and canon in the subject line ~
~ Choose from your favorite scenarios and have at it ~
~ Tag around, and have fun ~




i. WELCOME HOME
So you've made it home without being maimed, mauled, or otherwise lost! Isn't that lovely? You've scoped out your room and everything seems to be in some strange kind of order. There's a distinctly lived in sort of feel about the whole of the house with every basic amenity afforded it, but what's this? What's that? What are these other doors beyond the usual staples of a living room, bathrooms, and the like? What, you didn't think you lived all by yourself, did you? Say "hi" to your roommate! Or perhaps they're just more family that you've forgotten you had?


ii. BUMP IN THE NIGHT
For whatever reason, you find yourself too far from home to return safely before nightfall, which leaves you with two options. You can either brave the vicious creatures that rise from the swamp when the sun sets or try in vain to hide in one of the rundown buildings scattered throughout the town. There are no locks and no more than a few panes of glass or wood between you and that which roams the streets. Or perhaps, by chance, you've lucked out and are close enough to the Library to seek shelter. For even if you are being chased, the moment any creature steps within a few feet of its walls, they burst into flames and die. How fortunate for you! Now, please mind your manners. You wouldn't want to activate the protections of the location and find yourself out on your butt with the monsters, would you?


iii. MIRROR MIRROR
It's a flickering icon that catches your attention in the centermost piece of the smooth surface that appears as some strange sort of screen. Touch it and the surface of the mirror ripples and reveals what appears to be some sort of interactive message board that appears to be going so strong. Perhaps you aren't so alone after all. Will you reach out through a post to the network?


iv. NOT ALL WHO WANDER ARE LOST
The sun has finally risen and you know what that means! Time to go exploring! With eighty percent of the town burned down or otherwise uninhabitable, there are lots of places to go wandering in search of answers and items. Too bad you're more likely to find a bunch of junk and more questions than answers, but you know what they say: "One man's trash is another man's treasure." From suspiciously human bones to broken old appliances to priceless jewelry and everything in between, if it's something someone would have in a house or shop, there's a good chance you can find it charred and-or buried somewhere around town.

Why don't you take a look around?


v. WILD CARD
Alternatively, feel free to choose your own adventure and do something else within the setting!

( Jaina nods.

It may not be the most productive manner in which to spend her time, but after devoting a week or two to research, it's the best that she's got. Most of the others trapped here haven't been here for much longer than herself so there's a definite lack of information regarding their so-called captivity.

What better way to get answers than through her own hard work?

Attacking it physically does not work, from what I've gathered. ( So she won't bother asking if he's managed to make a dent in it anywhere. )

It doesn't. There's no getting above and over the wall either. Whatever protects it extends above it.

[He's already tried that route himself in multiple manners, each resulted in the same end. Jaina might end up eventually encountering small craters in the ground not too far from where the wall is if she travels along its length. Evidence left from his own efforts.]

Hmm... ( She has a polite enough decorum to mind her tongue and not ask if he's tried digging beneath it. )

It reminds me of Alterac.

( More specifically, the purple field that protected the remnants of Dalaran left behind. )

There's a possibility there are seals hidden that maintain the field.

[He hadn't actually thought yet of going under to be honest, by the time he'd finished making those craters with his landings he'd been too sore to do anything save make his way home for a hot soak and rest.

Jaina does make a fitting comparison though. If such was the case, that left the issue of dealing with the barrier to the mages.]


Possibly. Perhaps you could work with Khadgar... [There's a small pause before he gives the second name. While he doesn't know this particular Medivh, they shouldn't discount any aid in this place.] and Medivh.
