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!

Ramsay Bolton • Game of Thrones

i. WELCOME HOME

[ L...lovely, sure. ]

[ More like absolutely disappointing. It takes all of Ramsay's self control not to utter something like "but this is peasants' residence" when he stands in front of the house. But whatever happened, he's out of his element, out of his power, and the smart thing to do here is to not piss off the locals, no matter how insignificant they may be. ]

[ But as he takes a closer look, the house is definitely different from what he's used to, from the magnificent glasswork in the windows to the tiled roof. Of course, that is still nothing compared to the utter culture shock when he sets a foot inside. ]


...witchcraft?

[ Yeah, have another one of those Ikea-rug fur-wearing guys just gawk at the interior, completely lost. ]


iii. MIRROR MIRROR (A)

[ Once he gets a little more accustomed to... well, everything that wasn't normally found in alternate universe middle ages, the little mirror is honestly one of the less shocking appliances. It could almost be good old witchcraft, even if the things showing up onscreen are... extremely colorful and strange. ]

[ Ramsay can be found in the house or outside somewhere, poking at the mirror with a thoughtful frown on his face. He could read, he could write some though he preferred to dictate his letters, but the text here was barely legible and on top of that had a bunch of words that didn't mean anything. "Capslock"? "Emojis"? "Autocorrect"??? ]



iii. MIRROR MIRROR (B)

[ After some helpful neighbors or NPCs do enlighten him some about this new and exciting piece of technology, he's off to gather information. Safely. Who could have thought you could talk to people without actually being there? So convenient. That could've saved so many heads back in Westeros... heh. ]

[ Not to mention you could apparently use squiggles to indicate your mood! Of course, he intends to come off as friendly. It's always easier that way. ]


Hello! (ノ´ヮ´)ノ*:・゚✧


v. WILD CARD

[ make your own adventure... or just punch him hard many times tbh ]

[The first giveaway that he's not alone is probably the clip-clop of hooves that come from, well, a what seems to be a literal fire unicorn with features that lean more towards those of a Friesian. Fumiko herself is riding the rapidash (and rather tiny compared to the pokemon), though there's no saddle or reins to be seen.]

Excuse me? I'm sorry for bothering you, but ... do you need help with that?

[Dressed in jeans, her teal shirt and sneakers, with bag at her side and the rest of her pokemon in their pokeballs on her belt, she'd been on her way to go train against some of the monsters when she'd spotted him. It wasn't that hard to identify new faces in the town, and her natural instinct was to at least see if he needed help.]

[ ????????????????????????? ]

[ what is going on ]

[ was this the final form of a follower of Lord of Light or something? those guys worshipped fire and all. he always thought it didn't make any sense, but this is one hell of a walking counterargument. ]

[ Alright, he's dealing with an unknown capacity here. It's best to be careful. He lets his expression of disgusted surprise gradually fade into a wide, totally harmless smile. ]


If you would be so kind!
champions_legend: (Open your heart)

ngl I burst into LOLing.

[personal profile] champions_legend 2017-09-23 08:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Nope. Just a pokemon, though there are probably those in her world that worship rapidash.

Thankfully, Fumiko simply assumes the disgusted look is because she's riding without saddle or reins. Which, if she's honest, most images of rapidash or ponyta riders have them.
] I don't mind. Wait here, Ponpon.

[And with that, she hops off, leaving the fire-type to snort before it's head down and time to graze on whatever grass there is around. She doesn't even look back once as she heads over to Ramsay. It also gives her a bit of time to try and control her stutter.]

What is it that's giving you the most trouble?
porksausage: (unsure)

appropriate reaction to ramsay's suffering tbh

[personal profile] porksausage 2017-09-24 11:49 am (UTC)(link)
[ What's a pokemon IT'S A HORSE ON FIRE. And while it can probably be explained with magic, the most magical thing he's seen this far were a giant and some old dude setting his sword on fire with a touch. Not particularly flashy. Honestly the judging for not using appropriate riding gear is taking second seat right now. ]

[ Ramsay finally manages to tear his eyes off the HORSE MADE OF FIRE to inspect the young woman approaching. Strange clothes, he notes. It's not like figure-hugging pants were completely unheard of in Westeros, but it certainly wasn't common. The material is also completely unfamiliar. Not a bad ass. That's about all he can tell. ]

[ Helpfully, he holds out the Totally Magic Mirror for her. ]


I'm told this is a tool for communication, but I've never seen anything like it. Where I'm from, we send letters. [ He doesn't consider it to be a time issue. Still, that should explain things, right? As an afterthought; ] Or arrange for meetings I suppose, if you're a person of importance. [ NOT THAT HE WOULD KNOW he's just a peasant boy. See? ]
