TEST DRIVE MEME (4)
Your character wakes up in a neat bedroom in their team carriage, in nondescript underwear. They might be missing their memories, or their special abilities, or they may just feel a little queasy. Next to them is what seems to be a smartphone, which they know how to use even if they never had before, even if they don't know if they have before. On the screen is a simple message:
Welcome aboard the Aurora!★ One
You have been selected by the Star Prince as a potential hero, tasked with saving the universe from Malice. As a passenger I, your Construct and Conductor, will attempt to provide you with quality lodgings and safety. In return, we ask that you join your fellows in making bonds and doing your utmost to bring joy back to the Stars.
Due to the process of restoring your body, you may find some things are missing. We apologise for the inconvenience and hope to return them to you as soon as possible. Thank you for your cooperation.
Upon investigation, you'll find some basic clothes matching your team's theme in the storage provided in your room. Or, perhaps, you're wandering out of the room still undressed. Either way, downstairs you'll find someone has left a tray of cups of hot tea on the living room table. Drinking it may be simply pleasant, or it may cause you to feel a sudden need to warm up to the others in your carriage -- emotionally or physically. Welcome to the team, newbie!
☆ Two
Shortly after your arrival, you find yourself wrapped up in some monster NPC's Game. You're inside what appears to be a stone temple, with a massive golden scale on one wall. Suddenly, on one side, a heavy metal weight is dropped. As the scales tip out of balance, the floor begins to slowly disappear, brick by brick, ready to drop you -- and whoever is with you -- into an abyss. Your only hope comes in the form of an inscription on the altar:
How much do your secrets weigh?Every secret you tell causes a weight to fall onto the other side of the scale. The bigger the secret, the bigger the weight. If you can collectively tip the scales, the floor will quit dropping bricks and a door will appear to allow you back to the train. If you can't, you'll fall, seemingly forever, til you pass out. When you wake up you'll find yourself unable to lie.
★ Three
You've been in aurora for awhile -- long enough to have recovered a memory/power or two, if you lost any. And it's lucky for you: today, the area around the train has been surrounded in a strange mist that makes you feel dizzy and overly warm. Left alone, your condition will slowly degrade, with increasing lethargy and shortness of breath until you lose consciousness. The cure is easy enough, though -- touch another person and they'll see one of your memories, experiencing it as if it's their own. The effect is mutual -- you now have a piece of eachother, and you're safe from the illness... at least until you take another big breath. Good thing there's no mist inside the train!
☆ Four
Wildcard. Make up your own prompt! Check out the setting and team pages for info on the train. If you have any questions, ask on the q&a page. Otherwise, apps open on February 8! In the meantime you're free to join us on Discord.
Leviticus (Levi) | OC
[so this is a Jasmine hopeful which means gonna have him waking up and staring at the aquarium decor, nonplussed but also like... completely unfamiliar with this sort of decoration--way more advanced than he's used to!
but he at least puts on pants and goes to get the tea in the living area, making a face while using a free hand to scratch at the apparently drying out skin on his face, h-hmmm... problems...]
Is there any real water here?
2
[so uh. keeping balance when there's the vertigo of a very long fall with no bottom staring at him in the face--OH BOY. THAT'S NOT TRAUMATIZING OR ANYTHING.
time to look to the nearest person.
and put a hand on their shoulder, smiling very friendly-like]
So you're going to share your secrets, right?
3
[if there's one thing Levi does not appreciate, it's a lack of air. as it is, he's probably leaning against walls and flopping over furniture in lieu of actually trying to solve the issue.
someone please save him.]

[teeters on the edge of oblivion himself, balancing almost like a cat on a balance beam. IF HE'S PANICKING OVER THEIR UNFORTUNATE CIRCUMSTANCES, WELL. . . he sure isn't showing it]
[instead he glances up, blinks at his companion blandly, and responds]
When I was seven, I stole five pieces of candy from the convenient store down the street. I never told anyone.
[a real rebel, this one]

black★rock shooter | b★rs (anime)
[Black★Rock Shooter stares nonplussed at the altar's inscription as the temple floor begins to vanish beneath their feet. The fact that she's got a giant fucking gun at her side may or may not be helping their abysmal weight problem, but it at least seems they might make it out alive when she turns to her companion and confidently opens her mouth.]
You're on your own here.
[...They're all going to die.]
three;
[The air is thick, stifling, and even worse, obstructs her vision. Shooter has never felt so weak as she does then, reaching out for anything in order to steady her wobbling legs. This damn train and its equally damnable destination have succeeded in making an inhuman monster who doesn't eat sick to her damn stomach. When only more mist greets her outstretched hand, Shooter falls flat on her face.
At least she's still conscious.]
I don't... want...
[Is she mumbling into the dirt? She's definitely mumbling into the dirt. Don't leave her to mumble into the dirt.]
2
[That's a lie, he's lying.]
Well, I don't remember my secrets really, so. I guess we're going to die! You really have nothing to share?

Akira Kurusu | Persona 5(AU)
[This boy woke up in the Licorice coach, and comes downstairs in something cute and purple. He's totally fine with the whole thing, which might be odd, considering that while his face is very familiar, he is sporting some small black horns on his forehead, red eyes, and a matching devil tail...
And after he stops to drink some hot tea, he's feeling a little odd. Is everyone here... cold? He's wearing shorts but he's feeling fine, why does he think everyone else is cold???
Welp. He'll just drape himself on the first person that doesn't look like they'll immediately stab him and kind of loosely embrace them.]
2)
[How much do his...?]
Uh... shit.
I can't remember my secrets.......
[Time to PLAY IT COOL as he looks at his partner.]
You go first, and then I'll... start saying things. And see what happens?
3)
[He's outside and getting dizzy but also getting a little overdramatic about it. Should he be playing around with something potentially deadly? Probably not, but you'll just find Akira wobbling around as he walks, taking perfect care to look like a drunkard as he does so.]
Oooooohhh... Woe is me...
To die out here... sad and alone.... If only there were someone to catch me as I faint......
1
[anyway, someone still dressed in a stupid unicorn kigurumi with the hood pulled down. he has a cup of tea cradled between his palms and he's sort of. . . staring]

All Might / My Hero Academia
You're in trouble.
You might not even realise it, or maybe you've been struggling for a few minutes. Either way, you're in deep shit; there could be a snake looming over your shoulder, fangs poised for strike... or maybe you've fallen into a pit and have been yelling for help. maybe you're being chased? Or maybe you just look lost. Or sad. Maybe you've tripped and are now falling—whatever way it is, this incredible massive blonde man is here to [screams in American]— ]
I AM HERE!!!!
[ Well. He is here. In all 7'2" muscular glory, zooming onto the scene at a speed that is near undetectable in order to save your butt. It's a magnificent sight, probably, even though he's missing his red, white and blue costume in favour of something that is probably a little too form fitting.
That snake? Gone. That pit you were in? Doesn't exist anymore. You were looking sad? He's here to cheer you up, all with a big grin.
Uh. He also might be steaming?
Don't ask him about that, he is shy, thank you.]1/2

Naeva dos Martos | OC
[So, this one's a Senna hopeful, but she, uh, well. She isn't totally sold on these clothes so she's at most put on underthings so she's not naked and then went to inspect the scent of tea.
Surprise, Senna?]
3.
[So hey aurora today is your lucky day. Today, a small black-and-gold jackal is about.
Specifically the mist means they're falling asleep on the entrance back onto the train. You're gonna have to move her. Or step over her, I guess.
Looks like she didn't quite make it back inside.]
1
[ Exiting her room shortly after, peering over at her... not warily, but with some surprise, an understandable lack of recognition ]
Ah, good morning. Were you the one responsible for brewing this tea?

avenger | fate/afd pgau | i'm not apping him this is just for fun
[ so you're having a nice time in your carriage, it's breakfast time, it's something, it's nice, right
anyway one of the doors open up and this like. . . black gunk blob just starts. . . moving out of it. . . what the fuck is this monster and why the fuck is it here ]
[2]
[ the black gunk has vaguely taken shape - black hair trails down to their ankles, their face and neck have shaped to be definitively human although their eyes are mismatched, with one a formless black gunk in comparison to the red eye that they otherwise possess; the rest of their body, however, is still rather formless, hands and feet somewhat crudely defined and their entire torso just fucking borked. they are trapped in the temple with you, but they do not look particularly troubled. ]
The floor is disappearing. Oh, yes. Then it will reach this point and I, too, will disappear. Yet, what secrets do I recall? I have yet to have my memories returned.
Oh, perhaps I am meant to encourage the truth from those who have such secrets! Perhaps that is my purpose, yes, for what other weight could I have? Yes - you there, your secrets! How shall I pry them from you? Painfully? Painlessly? Let us begin!
[ you. . . you are being spoken to. ]
[3]
[ alternatively you might have just stepped in a puddle of INCREDIBLY DISGUSTING ROTTING SMELLING BLACK GUNK and now you're experiencing screaming void horrible pain emptiness nothingness nothingness nothingness,
as like, a memory
wow that's not great ]
1
- No, it certainly is pleasant, and familiar, and that is a portion of the problem. She could never mistake that scent for anyone else's. She could never mistake that shape for anyone else's.
So she does what any reasonable person would do and throws her teacup at it. A third of the way full and piping hot. ]

[ You're stuck with this girl! She seems pretty calm, maybe too calm? In fact, she stares at the scales more curious than like, you know, scared the floor is going to drop from under her, killing her instantly. She eventually does turn to you, pointing at the scales. ]
Ummm, I don't think I really have any secrets?
3.
[ You'll run into her outside, cheerfully talking to the trees and flowers and in general Disney princessing about. She's so occupied doing that that she doesn't really notice the mist at first -- the warmth is really nice, after all. ]

Lucien Margelidon | OC
[Given we're dealing in the realm of pure hypothetical, here, we're going to assume it takes place in your dorm, or hopeful dorm, person reading this.
Thankfully, this stranger is completely dressed! He is also holding that cup of tea without drinking it. He appears instead to be using the warmth of the cup to warm his fingers, and occasionally smelling it to decide if the tea is up to his standards. Not that he really recalls what they are, he just feels some gut instinct need to consider this. He also seems to be pacing uneasily, which, honestly given it's tea time in an unfamiliar location he found himself in with no explanation, seems fair.]
Two
[Well, the bricks are falling away and there isn't much time to act! The problem is that Lucien has no memories, so the inscription on the wall has gone from a curiosity to a source of panic.]
How? What secrets do you even want from me?!
[Now might be the time to suggest that they come up with something, literally anything, before the floor gives away entirely.]
Three
[Thankfully, in coming from his home world to Aurora, Lucien had retained the peak human physicality even if he had lost his memories. Unfortunately, none of that removed the need to breathe, so instead this fog has reduced him to an asthmatic klutz, and he is currently careening and flailing about, trying to get to somewhere safer. It isn't working particularly well, but the question is if you're feeling up to actually being able to help him when he's a walking disaster zone like this?]
