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!

No. Not you, actual pigman. FILTHY EARTH TYPE DWELLER!

SPEAK! WHERE IS YOUR LEADER! AND SLASH OR PERSON IN CHARGE OF THE SAFETY AND COMMANDING THINGS OF THIS SHIP?!

[personal profile] i_have_organs 2014-01-17 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
Tell me! Or face DOOM of which the universe would quake in FEAR at the mere mention of the terrible, slow, WRITHING you squirmy creatures will do!
i_have_organs: (GIR TELL HIM I'M NOT TALKING TO HIM)

Okay I'm done now.

...

The main weapons room too. You know. If it's in the same direction.

[Tron does not suddenly appear Sam just does not pay proper attention to his surroundings.]

Freaking out is loud. And if I did not want to talk to you, I wouldn't.

[Aw Sam you're supposed to know about this User-world stuff. Tron can't hide a disappointed look. Those colors don't look like normal stars.]

The Son of Flynn doesn't know everything?

[This is a red letter day that might actually be teasing.]
dhianeila: (attention: penis)

[personal profile] dhianeila 2014-01-17 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
It's wonderful you meet you, miss Rosette. I am Dhianeila Y Leisha Altoria Ol Yunos.

[ Sorry for the long ass name, but it's not like she expects many people to remember it. She glances at Rosette's hand before slowly reaching her own to take it. Slowly because she's always cautious about her powers, though Rosette probably wouldn't feel anything strange. ]

Please, let me know if this causes you any discomfort. [ She adds with a nod down to their hands. ]

Oh. [ Another look outside, and-- ] I think so. [ Or at least he's trying very hard to see, but it still takes a second or two before the (obvious) pattern begins to stand out.

...Then he is practically pressed up against the window, trying to trace the trail as far as it goes (temporarily forgetting about being the not-so-little kid, here). ]


How do you know it was a ship?
ja307020: (identifying)

[personal profile] ja307020 2014-01-17 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
My last system was not networked.

[Sometimes the duck used to be a simulation of a duck.]

It's... not something most Users believe if I tell them.
alittlemystery: (Oh snap.)

Re: Okay I'm done now.

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2014-01-17 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
AN ALIEN!

A really typical bug-eyed green alien!!

[personal profile] force_ful 2014-01-17 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
I think this time it's over some kind of anniversary. Celebrating something that happened long before any of them drew breath - a tradition, at this point.
alittlemystery: (That is hurtful.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2014-01-17 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
. . .you foolin' me? Mabel, is that you again??
ja307020: (beaming)

[personal profile] ja307020 2014-01-17 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Those are better, then. It's a shame if a system loses its memory.
i_have_organs: (** Worse?)

1/2

[personal profile] i_have_organs 2014-01-17 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
........ why....

Yes. I AM the wretched beast-thing known as... Mabel. The Mabel you adore and lulls you into complacency.
i_have_organs: (APPEASE ZIM NOW!!!!)

[personal profile] i_have_organs 2014-01-17 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
We are playing a game! Known as HOSTILE TAKEOVER!

PLAY IT NOW WITH ZIM! BOW TO HIM!
sandwormie: (Well - um. That's fine!)

[personal profile] sandwormie 2014-01-17 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
If it was a comet or something else from this system, the nova would've taken it out, blown it away, or even just adjusted the orbit, and in that last case it would take a lot longer - like, a lot longer - to swing back through here.

[Luke alternates squinting and widening his eyes, trying to focus better.] This passing through happened a while ago, or it'd be clearer if there was wash from the engines. You can't see that in usual space, but with the particulate here sometimes there's sign.
alittlemystery: (Excuse me!)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2014-01-17 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
No way! I was the minion last time, remember? It's your turn to let me be the evil alien ruler.

Give me that stupid costume, it looks ridiculous. I need to wear it.
i_have_organs: (FILTHY SQUID CREATURE)

[personal profile] i_have_organs 2014-01-17 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
[The Irkin skitters back, pressing against a wall.]

This... This is no costume!

YOU WILL NOT HAVE MY GLORIOUS-YET-SUPERIOR FLESH, MEATSACK!

...

I will KILL you first!
force_ful: (⚶That worships the vivid sky)

[personal profile] force_ful 2014-01-17 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Luke raises his eyebrows again. There are questions begging to be asked here, but he is content to let them lie.]

I expect they're long divorced from whatever they're celebrating. Whether it was a war, or anything else. But really, that's just as well. Often in peace you find old remnants of war.
alittlemystery: (Everything is A-OK.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2014-01-17 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
Fine, fine. I'll go with it, Mabel.

Oh no~ space man! If anyone will die it is you! You won't take over my planet and turn us into space fuel!
ja307020: (looking)

[personal profile] ja307020 2014-01-17 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
As long as someone remembers it right. Forgetting makes the past come back.. and not the good parts.

[personal profile] force_ful 2014-01-17 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Luke stands behind and to the side, hands clasped, the sleeves of his robe covering them. It's beautiful here, but his eyes unfocus as he reaches delicately into the currents of the Force, reading the life around them, picking out the bright spots of higher consciousness in the midst of it. His voice is soft.]

Careful, Senator. We're not so unobserved as we seem.
i_have_organs: (** This requires CLEVERNESS)

1/4

[personal profile] i_have_organs 2014-01-17 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
I see. YOU STILL HAVE SOME SPIRIT IN YOU, MAGGOT MAGNET.
i_have_organs: (** FOOOOOOOOOOOLS)

[personal profile] i_have_organs 2014-01-17 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
That will only make this... Sweeeeeeter.
force_ful: (Default)

[personal profile] force_ful 2014-01-17 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
This is true. The past is never as distant as it can seem.
i_have_organs: (** No Lute THAT'S BAD)

[The tiny thing produces an incredibly prop like ray gun.]

YOU HAVE ONE CHANCE TO DO THIS THE EASY WAY, smell beast.

TAKE ME TO THE CAPTAINY LAIR! I WILL SPEAK WITH THE TALLEST AMONG YOU SIMPLE CREATURES!
