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.

He exits his room, staaaares down at this fallen (sleepy?) snake, and then... also lays down on the floor to staaaare from the same eye level. Apparently poking or saying "hello?" hasn't crossed his mind as an option yet.]
TIME TO GO ON A FACE JOURNEY 1/???????
Are you back already? Good boy, good boy... [ mumbles, sleepy ]
2/ lol
Re: 1

Re: 1
.....
yeah it's not working. ]
Re: 1
is this actually him what is going on
it CAN'T be him.
he,... ]
id say naan did nothing to deserve this but that's a lie
oh, i'm done now
[ and he's standing up. bye. he's leaving. ]
no subject
[The """"good boy"""" allows these pattings for a brief moment- he invaded the other guy's personal space first, and anyway it feels kind of... nice... actually... but a few seconds of that is enough so he's about to reach up and grab Naan's wrist right when Naan stops. And starts, uh. Making faces? Weird faces. Maybe this guy is feeling ill or something. Not too ill to move though, apparently, so whatever.]
S'fine.
[Pathiri stifles a yawn and gets up at a more leisurely speed to follow. Unfortunately, they're kind of on a train, so there's not a lot of room for Naan to escape. Time for downstairs??]
no subject
god where did he even come out of, he shouldn't have left his bed at all, ]
-- what are you doing?
no subject
Looking around. Do you need to sit down?
no subject
... Ahhh, I wonder... I am feeling light headed. I came from somewhere, and I'm trying to find my room again. [ or a door that leads out. ]
no subject
Want to use mine?
[Gestures with his head at the door he came out of. It's not like it's really his, nor does he particularly want to go back to bed right now.]
no subject
[ it's a curt response. distant, and strained as if it hurts to say it ]
no subject
[Pathiri's response is short and dry, but he's looking at Naan again. After a moment of that, he slips around the other guy (this hallway is narrow, but fortunately he is smol) and heads towards the stairs.
He is going to be back, not that Naan would know that yet.]
no subject
until he just kind of. abruptly crumples to the side like strings had been cut, his shoulder meeting the wall beside him being the only thing that keeps him from falling on the floor. he. really needs to get out of here.
slowly trying the door beside him. but it's locked for some reason. rattles the doorknob. rattle rattle. sigh... ]
no subject
It's too bad that Naan was taking his time, because the source of his misery is going to be back with hardly a delay. Someone should scold this guy about climbing stairs too quick, especially while carrying things.]
