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.

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!

[ He casually grabs a handful of hair and brings him closer. ]

You got hit with that Bazooka, fucking scum.

[sharktrash]

[ Squalo exhales, a yelp in the making but not realized. So that's what this is about. Xanxus' utter disregard of him (well, a bit more than usual) suddenly makes perfect sense. ]

The fuck I did. You're the wrong one.

[fuckingscumbag]

[ A low growl is his only answer as Bester looks up, jaw open as if deciding to take a chunk of meat out of him or not. Long fingers curl painfully around his hair as if to emphasize the box weapons sentiment. Care to say that again? Who's the wrong one? ]

..........

[sharktrash]

[ Well fuck. Not that it would be the first time. Squalo clenches his jaw, hissing and bracing himself against the throne a bit, but keeps his gaze on Xanxus. ]

I didn't get hit by anything! Who the hell do you take me for?! I just got dropped in this weird place out of nowhere!! And you're suddenly fucking old!

[ ...he's not helping his case is he ]

[fuckingscumbag]

[ No he's not.

In response, there's a blinding light as a flame like orb forms around his palm. Is that his flame of wrath? Want to find out? Keep talking. ]

[sharktrash]

[ Squalo holds his breath and watches, not moving an inch. Lesser men might try to back off or look frightened; Squalo looks bewitched at best and like he's barely containing a boner at worst. It's always such an honor, such a thrill to see that Flame up close, even if it threatens to end him any moment. That's what makes it exciting, right? Guess that line about being in love / captivated by Xanxus' rage wasn't just for show... ]

[ He did shut up, at least. ]

[fuckingscumbag]

[ Too late. He smashes the orb straight into him and watches the piece of shit get sent back. Be glad he didn't use his full power. ]

Fucking trash.

[sharktrash]

[ Ouch. That might not send him through a wall but there's certainly a nice Squalo-shaped crack in it when he slumps down to the floor, breath knocked out of him. ]

[ How much burns did he suffer? Is he missing skin on his face? Considering this must have been happening for years and Squalo's still not horribly disfigured, it's probably not bad enough to scar, but it sure does hurt. ]

[ His hair's a bit singed, too. ]

The fuck was that for, shitty Boss?!

[ Thanks to that punch, his voice is quite a bit milder than usual, but it's still rough on the ears. ]

[fuckingscumbag]

Shut your damn mouth.

[sharktrash]

[ Well. That really doesn't leave much room to argue. ]

[ Squalo actually does as told for now. He takes a few moments to regain his composure and his breath, then carefully pushes himself up. Looks like nothing broke this time. What now, though? Was he being dismissed? Was he supposed to treat Xanxus like the right one now? Speaking of which, where was Xanxus, the one he knew as his?.. ]

[ Silence is just not meant to last with him. ]

Anything else?
