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!

[ Khadgar can't help but laugh at the post he finds and chooses to remain with text so he doesn't let the other know what he's doing. ]

I had that problem myself, I still don't know how to fix it.....

[Excuse him for not speaking immediately upon receiving the text. There's a few more beeps, another brief wonky sounding growl before Khadgar actually gets his answer.]

Fortunate that you found this text function then. I would have thought you would have had this thing all figured out by now.

I prefer the quill and paper over this thing I think. This thing is too awkward to use for anything important.

You are not the first to show their lack of enthusiasm at me not figuring it out as fast as I should have... But more pressing matters have had my attention.

Personally, I'd be more fond of the voice aspect of this thing if it didn't start going and making the users sound like a chipmunk.

Perhaps the creators were gnomes.

[Making things overly complicated and unintentionally filled with humorous bugs like the voice issue, sounds like something akin to what they'd do.]

What pressing matters have occupied you? Finding a way out of here perhaps?

Now that would be rather interesting to see.

And yes, attempting to return to Azeroth is on the forefront of my mind. Another includes how to sound proof rooms without using magic. The other two inhabitants of my lodgings are.... Voracious to say the least.

Is there something keeping you from using magic to do so?

[Thinking about the idea there has to be a reason for Khadgar not using magic to solve his problem is far more preferable to giving any thought to the actual problem.]

Perhaps you might find material to thicken your walls with, it would muffle the sound at least.

Honestly, it's a case of not particularly wanting to see if the walls of these houses are protected like the wall.

I've thought of that, I would've thought my book cases would've dampened them. They shake instead. Any suggestions?

[personal profile] getgabbin 2017-09-20 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I suspect asking them to take their activities elsewhere is not an option?

Otherwise...perhaps you might find wood panels to place behind the bookcases and look into securing the bookcases somehow to them or the floor?

I'd be more inclined if I thought it would do anything.

That may help, yes. I've taken to just spending my nights in my shop, but it lacks a shower so I cannot just move there permanently.

Dense or merely hard headed?

I do not know whether I should wonder at the fact you seem to be more worried about the lack of a bath more than the lack of a place to store and prepare food. What is to stop you from installing such a room in your shop?

Worse. Young.

It'd take a lot of skills that I cannot claim to have to do it. There's a pad with a drain, so it is possible to just get a bucket. ... I'm just rather fond of the tubs, honestly.

[That explains a number of things concerning their activity level and the noise.]

You can't find a large tub and put it in that room I assume? Use the bucket to fill it, then dump it down the drain once you've finished?

Would it be unseemly if I were to just admit that I like the running water and the fact that I could turn a tap for more hot water once it went cold?

No. It is natural to become spoiled by presented luxuries.

There are many things I could say to that.
