TEST DRIVE MEME (1)
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
Outside the train, a large, strangely spinning cube floats over a pedestal, hissing discordantly and shedding strange black light onto the surrounding area. Beyond lies only shadows and slithering noises, a landscape of tangley thorns and eyes that glow in the dark. Your phone says it's noon, but out here it's midnight under a starless sky. As you step into the dark, an alarm blares -- your phone is sending you an alert.
"Goal: clear the area of snakes," it says. "Remember to use the buddy system!"
Soon you realise that the ground just a few feet away is actually writhing in black snakes with crimson eyes. They'll bite if you approach alone, but as long as you're touching another passenger, they're totally docile. You could easily move them away from the clearing, or toss them into the spooky-looking pit at the edge of it.
★ Three
You've been here awhile -- at least, long enough to have made some friends. Currently the TV in the public lounge is playing a weird puppet show, where all the puppets look and act like exaggerated versions of you and other passengers. What kind of person do the puppets think you are? Dramatic? Over-affectionate? Surly?It's all in good fun but it's definitely painting you in a light that, if not unpleasant, is certainly embarrassing.
☆ Four
Wildcard. Make up your own prompt! Check out the setting and team pages for info on the train. If you have any questions you'd like to ask before the game starts, ask on the q&a page. Otherwise, apps open on November 8! In the meantime you're free to join us on Discord.
two, i swear it's not just cause i like talking about snakes
Well... miss? [ lifting his arm. that she's apparently clinging to, hi. ] It doesn't seem that vague at all. We have to clear the area of these snakes~
no subject
Well, the goal isn't vague, true! But the means are more than a little open-ended, you know? Do we move them, do we throw them into that pit, do we kill them, do we try to sneak them into someone's bed, etcetera.
no subject
llleaaaning to the side, just a little. not exactly away from her, it's subtle, but. ]
..... killing them seems a little bit extreme. Though sneaking them into someone's bed would be entertaining, for sure!
How would you like to take care of them?
no subject
Mm... I'm not picky, I don't think. I don't really want to see them harmed, though.
...Which does mean probably not bringing them inside. Oh well.
no subject
Moving them off to the side should suffice then, shouldn't it? Though they may move back. Just as well, it isn't as though we were told to keep them out of the way.
no subject
—ah, that's a good point! I was worrying about them just coming back, but— you're right. Let's just scoot them out, then.
no subject
Yes, yes, okay then... [ trying to stoop over to like. wave his hands at the snakes in a shoo-shoo motion. ] Go on now, shoo shoo!
[ they're probably not doing shit honestly. just hissss slither slither. ]
no subject
Weren't you letting them bite you earlier? Honestly. Mm, excuse me—
[ just
picking one up. while apologizing to it
what's a working sense of fear ]
no subject
[ oh, well. if she's going to do that he's going to let her. just watching her... ]
You're not afraid?
no subject
[ pausing. looking down at the snake. ]
...I suppose I should be, shouldn't I. Hmm.
