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.

[ pretty weird!!!! and the question gets a look. ]
Uh, I think I'd remember agreeing to the Hogwarts Express. Wouldn't you?
no subject
no subject
This is obviously real so wizards are probably a nonstarter anyway.
no subject
Yeah okay so, want to have a look around, then? I think I saw tea in the kitchen.
no subject
[ instead of figuring out wtf is happening?? he sighs, but turns back around to put on the gold jordans at the foot of his bed, complete with gold socks. this place is the weirdest shit. at least his gold hoodie has black piping on it... which is the opposite of the hoodie he usually wears. it's also more knit like it's somehow handmade, but once it's over his head he'll gesture for danny to lead the way.]
Luke. [ he murmurs like it's a secret they now share. ] Luke Cage.
[ he waits to see if there will be any recognition for the name as he follows danny out of the compartment and the gold section altogether. ]
no subject
Nice to meet you, Luke. You can just. Call me whatever you want I guess. [It's getting harder to hide the fact that he doesn't know his own name, but that should be okay. If Luke knows that'd be fine, right? Just a few people knowing until he finds a way to regain that memory.]
no subject
[ he's definitely not letting that one go, though he is following along to the dining car while he plays around on his chain. it seems like his iphone, but... not. super weird. ]
no subject
No. None that I can remember. But. But that's okay. I'm sure I'll remember it soon. Must've been something to do with being brought here that caused me to lose it. [Why did he have to go and phrase it like that? Lose it? He's just forgotten it, is all.]
no subject
This place made you forget who you are.
[ and he wants to get tea??!?!??! ]
no subject
I mean. Maybe? That's my theory at the moment anyway. Just. Take it with a grain of salt, yeah? Point is, I don't know squat about myself, where I'm from, the people I probably knew, and there's at least four different reasons I can list as to why that is.
[That being: Trauma, Injury, Trauma plus Injury, Memory being straight up Stolen, or otherwise Memory being deliberately wiped or locked away by an Outside Source -Living or otherwise.
Yes, he'd rather have tea than nothing at all. Tea is mostly just water, and water is good for you. Supposedly. He doesn't know yet if he even likes tea, but there's no harm in trying it. Unless it's drugged. It could be drugged. He's choosing not to think about that.]
no subject
I don't like the idea that someone was messing with your head.
no subject
I don't either, but until I can find out how my memory was messed with, It'll be harder to get it all back.
[Harder, but not impossible.]
The most frustrating thing right now is knowing things like, stuff I must've learned in school but no memories attached to any of it and also not knowing which school.
no subject
[ god if only danny were here. he'd know what to do with this a lot better than he does. ]
