Test Drive Meme

Did you want to test your characters? Do you want something that you can use for an RP sample without digging up an old thread? Well, here you have it. Pick one or multiple prompts below or, if you want, make a prompt of your own. Just be sure to tag around so that everyone gets plenty of exposure.

1: Explosions in space! Space Bandits attacked the space colony everyone was visiting! Dozens of fighters and mobile armors fly through space, locked in deadly combat. Are you among those battling to save lives? Or are you watching from the windows, praying everything will be safe?

2: Explosions underground! You were part of a trading party, exchanging supplies with an underground penal colony when alien animals burrowed through the walls and started assaulting convict and Confederation member alike! What are you going to do?

3: Explosions over the city! The Colosseum is shooting off fireworks as part of a concert or a sporting event! Are you watching in the crowd, a main attraction, or watching the bright colors from the city?

4: Explosions on an asteroid! You're either observing, guarding, or mining an asteroid! It's rather dull, save for the explosions that rock the ground under your feet. It looks like it'll continue to be just as slow, but... was that something moving in the shadows there?

5: Explosions on a space station! As you approached a research station, you receive a distress signal! Fire's broken out and their systems aren't up to spec! Can you do anything? Are you a part of a scouting crew or out for a joyride in your new yacht? And is this an accident, or something more sinister?

6: Explosions at the gym! Explosive competition! Swimming, weightlifting, running, boxing, someone has just challenged you! Whether they know it or not, you're going to do your best to show them up.

7: Explosions in the past! A star has died! The Fleet is flying through the nebula it left behind, with swirls of beauty as far as the eye can see. If you're the type, you can watch it all you like.

8: Explosions on the road! Most of the traffic on the Teuberg is computer controlled, but some young showoff took his off the grid and promptly caused a wreck! Traffic has been backed up for almost half an hour now, with no way out for you and the people in your vehicle. Are you close enough to see if anyone needs help? Or are you just stuck with people who are as late for their appointments as you are?

9: Explosions in the marketplace! Explosive bargains! You're in a trading hub, surrounded by stalls of all kinds selling every type of merchandise you can imagine! Luckily, you've got enough money to handle a few purchases here. Will you buy one of those daggers on display? An incense burner? Some alien fruit? Or maybe you're on the run from the corrupt guards? Or perhaps you're the one doing the chasing, did someone just steal your wallet?

10: Explosions in your mind! The explosive inspiration that drives this world! Make up your own prompt!

Nishikikouji Tohri | Hatoful Boyfriend

[personal profile] nishikikouji_tohri 2014-01-17 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Tohri is an enormous uplifted golden pheasant standing taller than a human's waist, the tip of his tail something like nine feet from the tip of his beak. His voice is surprisingly deep.]

[Traffic! Furious, Tohri emerges and flaphops to the roof of his vehicle.]


This delay is intolerable! My schedule is crowded enough without time wasted in a que! Fine. Observe me as I fly above and ignore this entirely!

[he does have wings, but nothing with a tail that splendid flies great. Instead it appears he's building a jetpack.]


[Fireworks! Some of these are his doing, particularly the ones that involve small lasers shot up at particular fireworks, somehow creating a brief three-dimensional firey etching of, yes, Tohri.]

Behold! Nishikikouji Masterpiece #2358: Radiant Portrait of the Artist!

[personal profile] driftlock 2014-01-17 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Normally, Deadlock would let this all go down without him because who cares about humans. But then again...shooting. He does like shooting things. Besides, someone nearly grazed him with a shot. So, yeah, it's kind of personal now.]

[See? He's totally helping. Just grudgingly. ]

Yeah, I bet it's real cute. You got a pet human or something?

[Weirdo.]
driftlock: (defiance)

[personal profile] driftlock 2014-01-17 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, Deadlock could just see it now: her and Turmoil, sitting around a table with doilies, having tea. For about three kliks before someone started shooting.

But...'help'? What is this strange foreign word you're using? It sounds like Primal Vernacular and all, but it makes no sense.

"Do I look like some stupid Autobot to you?" The answer better be 'no'.
driftlock: (longing)

[personal profile] driftlock 2014-01-17 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
Then his sister is obviously one of the few organics worth knowing.

"Cause I'm slaggin' bored sitting around doing nothing. Least here I can look at stuff." And hate it. Hate it hard.

[A three-and-a-half-foot-tall bird with rainbow plumage, nine feet from beak to tailtip, sees that he is watched and poses, even if it's for some tentacled thing.]

[brightens visibly, gesturing with the knife in his hands at what you're carrying before remembering it's in his hands, and hurriedly putting it down to accept the packages]

Ah! Thank you very much, young man. I'm quite looking forward to this. I suppose living on the Atlantic seaboard has made me nostalgic for the prospect.
littlecrowgirl: (A bit nostalgic)

3 oh my goodness Pentacost

[personal profile] littlecrowgirl 2014-01-17 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
[As he's doing this, he may feel a slight tap on his shoulder, and another if the first one didn't register. Looks like someone's noticed you aren't Partying in the USA, Stacker.

Tap tap tap.]


Hey. Hey!

What are you doing inside, mister? You're missing the best part!
littlecrowgirl: (this isnt good)

[personal profile] littlecrowgirl 2014-01-17 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Congratulations, Rhodey, you've just asked a 17 year old to help you. And not the genius kind.]

Me?

...


....


Where do I start.

[Don't mind her, she's immediately hurrying over, trying to look at the armor from every angle. Every angle.]

[Awwww. No more touching? Alas! Still, this was some of the closest contact he'd had with a human yet, so he couldn't be too upset.]

Oh, it's not so difficult nowadays! [He flicks a tentacle dismissively, and giggles.] Really, I was mostly in retirement even before I was brought here. There's not much for an admiral to do when there's no war going on, after all! Why, if it weren't from orders from above and a societal leaning towards militarism, I doubt there would have been much of a fleet still standing at the ready, so long after...

[Wait, hmm. This human wouldn't know about the war, would he? There's really no need to tell him about humans being on the losing side of it.]

Well, no matter! What do you do, my dear Nagate~?
littlecrowgirl: (SALUT)

[That's impressive, Garnet. Kay'd be lying if she said she wasn't impressed. But that didn't mean that she'd leave the nice lady to fight all by herself. No, Kay's one to take action if she has to, and thus runs up to the woman, armed with a crowbar.


Gordon Freeman style.]


Ma'am! Reporting for duty!

[And just then, she jabs the crowbar behind her, hitting an alien in the gut.]

Yuuya's first instinct, too, is to head towards whatever most people are running from. But he is a spy, not a soldier - also, he may bear guns but he is a waist-tall dove, not human. It's better to remember a little caution instead of rushing out alone.

In the time and place that Yuuya comes from, humans have returned to caves and mostly live in the wilderness. Somehow it's comforting to see a human in less industrialized garb, not so acquainted with modern technology as everyone else here. So he follows Boromir silently, confident in his poorly explained power to be hard to notice when there were other things going on.

... so this was caused by somebody else. And not just somebody else, but a person who these people seemed to know, and maybe even trusted until now. She frowned, looking sympathetically at the scientists despite continuing to try to urge them on and keep them calm.

"If there is somebody responsible for this, we will find him in our search," she spoke calmly. "Captain," she added back to her own comrades, "if it is at all possible, please get the identifications of all survivors we bring on board. There is reason to believe that this catastrophe was intentionally started by one of the scientists. When Zouichi arrives at the escape pods with these people, they will give you any more details that you need as well as identify this man if he has already been taken there."

She then turned her focus back to both the scientists and Zouichi. "Where is this data rod located? I will check for any signs of life in the vicinity, and Zouichi? Once we get these people to safety, I can show you where he is if he is there."

So you tell me.

[Oh no young folks first. After you.]

Are you going to answer the question?
stark_contrast: (So its like that huh?)

[personal profile] stark_contrast 2014-01-17 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Its American.

[He says it like that explains everything, which... it kind of does, sadly. Red, white, and blue, with guns coming out of every orifice; what other country could have produced something like that?]
soul_sister: (That is really low cut)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2014-01-17 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
[She holds up a hand around the same height as her watch. Curiosity poured over Rosette's expression and her eyes went wide. It narrowed shortly after, and her hand went back to the gun on her belt.]

Why? Are you after him too?
ja307020: (looking)

[personal profile] ja307020 2014-01-17 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
[He nods, conceding the point.]

Maybe we've both just been running-- living too long, then.

[It's a minor slip, but he still frowns. Picking up the User terms isn't going as easily as it should.]
nagate: (Nagate: good to go)

[personal profile] nagate 2014-01-17 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Nagate was mostly just puzzled. Societal leaning towards militarism? Didn't everyone need a military? Who else would be around to defend society if there were no volunteers?]

Me? I'm a Garde pilot for the Cydonia. Actually, most pilots are supposed to go through this whole training program, but I think the Captain pulled some strings for me.

It's great! All the food you can eat, and the people are pretty nice, too.
dhianeila: (beginnings)

[personal profile] dhianeila 2014-01-17 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
Glancing over at him as he approached, she smiled. ... and at least he knew the whole routine about getting too close already.

"Setsuna," she greeted with a cheerful nod. "Are you here to watch the fireworks, too?"
ja307020: (identifying)

[personal profile] ja307020 2014-01-17 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
The Internet?

[Cue blank look.]

The system.. is where I'm from. I'm not from this world originally.

[That's real clear, Tron.]
littlecrowgirl: (lets steal stuff!)

[Finally, a normal looking boy hanging around here. Now at least Kay didn't feel quite so alone in this place. In fact, she felt a little better, because what is that outfit?

But no matter, that wasn't the way to make friends--]


Hey, nice life preserver.
soul_sister: (OOoooOOOOoooooh)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2014-01-17 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
EH!

[She blinks up at him. It. HAD BEEN A THING SHE WAS WONDERING. ...

But there was something even more important. Something that had nothing to do with questions about who and what he was. (though those are coming.)]


Do you know where I can practice with one?

[FREE railguns!!!!]
soul_sister: (Lets do this)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2014-01-17 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
Rosette! Rosette Christopher! Pleased to meet you.

[She stops to take a sip of her own glass, face upturned to the display crackling in intricate patterns across the sky, before suddenly seeming to realize she's being rude and holds out a hand to shake.]
force_ful: (⚶Peace flows into me)

[personal profile] force_ful 2014-01-17 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm. [Delicately:] Culture shock?
impurrfectprofessor: (I really am grateful.)

[personal profile] impurrfectprofessor 2014-01-17 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
[She takes a step back as soon as she notices Rosette's hand moving toward the gun, and holds up her hands in front of her, palms facing Rosette. Whoever this girl is, she definitely doesn't want to fight her, even if Shader was the fighting sort.]

No, I'm not after him, I promise! We're--we used to be friends.

[Even now, saying "used to be" hurts. But she doubts Chrono would have particularly nice things to say about her, considering what happened when they last saw each other.]

You're his friend, too?
ja307020: (beaming)

[personal profile] ja307020 2014-01-17 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Something like that, yes.

[No use denying it. He pauses a moment to try and salvage the conversation without having to try and explain about the Grid.]

At least there are still fireworks.
