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!

[It's right about then that military personnel burst into the room and begin circling around the two. ZIM LATCHES ONTO DIPPER'S ENORMOUS HEAD.]

RUN FOOL!
alittlemystery: (This could be dangerous!)

RUNNING!

ALSO STILL NOT MY FAULT YOU GUYS

[running away while trying to pry Zim off]

Don't cling to my face like that!!! And cut out the alien bit, we're in trouble!

[ Comets, novas, orbits - that's all way out of his wheelhouse, and probably to someone older (and less enthusiastic), Cloud would be loathe to admit his ignorance. But Luke doesn't seem to mind him asking potentially dumb questions, so far.

He leans away from the glass (after a while, that view gets dizzying), but he still looks curious. ]


Where'd you learn all that stuff?
i_have_organs: (** CANNOT CONTAIN EPIC)

[personal profile] i_have_organs 2014-01-17 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
[There is no answer, just an insistent tug and pain as its tiny hands attempt to steer Dipper by his EARS.]

FASTER! FASTER SLAVE THING!
alittlemystery: (HOW IS ANY OF THIS OKAY?!)

[turns a corner and tumbles over because between Zim and Dipper's giant heads this is too topheavy]

MABEL QUIT IT

They made it to the escape pods without incident, at which point Zouichi was happy to hand over the scientists to the personnel waiting to receive them. When the captain's response came back, however, it was to inform them that no one had left the space station unscheduled -- not for months.

"So maybe this guy is still on board," said Zouichi. "He could've planned to wait until after we leave to get off the station himself."

Of course, they could always leave and destroy the rest of the escape pods, leaving this Decker guy to his fate. But that'd mean that they wouldn't be able to recover whatever data he'd stolen.

"You still up for searching the station?"
shitflashpointsays: (smile: snerk)

maybe too much fun! XD

[personal profile] shitflashpointsays 2014-01-17 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
Flashpoint would too, which might be a little circular, but whatever. It's good fun.

And yeah, Prowl has other people do his dirty work all the time. She wonders if some of her own orders have come down from him. But then that's why she can't help but taunt at the subject, trying to get a measure of this other mech's tendencies.

Awww YISS. He took the bait. She's glad for that, because otherwise she'd have to explain herself or something. Like how this was actually all her fault.

"I didn't say afraid," You did that to yourself, buddy. Lazy maybe. Too entitled. Or maybe just...weak. Except his display proves that much wrong at least. Despite herself, Flashpoint is pleased. She's not backing down from that challenge though, frag no. Watch her lift up the other trailer AND set it back down on its wheels, geeennntly. Match that!

[Zim hits the ground, skidding across the clean, perfect floors of the spaceship. The daze doesn't last long as he's skittering back to Dipper, tugging at him frantically.]

UP! UP I SAY!

THEIR GROTESQUE MEATY LEGS GAIN UPON US!
i_have_organs: (** This requires CLEVERNESS)

[personal profile] i_have_organs 2014-01-17 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
Wait.
i_have_organs: (** Worse?)

[personal profile] i_have_organs 2014-01-17 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
OF COURSE!

I just need to be FASTER than you!

[RUNNING AWAY!!]
alittlemystery: (PUNCHING YOU)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2014-01-17 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
[RUNNING AFTER]

NOT SO FAST! I didn't train with manotaurs for an entire day for nothing!
sandwormie: (But why not?)

[personal profile] sandwormie 2014-01-17 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
I've done lots of reading. I love space, I've always wanted to leave home and see it - [Luke falters a little. He didn't want to leave home like this, without the knowledge or consent of his aunt and uncle. He misses them.] - and well I want to be on some kind of exploration ship, or something, when I'm old enough.
i_have_organs: (** I doubt your commitment)

[personal profile] i_have_organs 2014-01-17 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Running! OH HOW THERE HAS NEVER BEEN RUNNING LIKE THIS.





Except Dipper easily overtakes his tiny, tiny strides.







The pack on the Irkin's back opens up, and with a moment's pause, a metal leg sweeps out to trip the other boy.]

[TRIPS MAJESTICALLY]

You're not Mabel!!!

[which means it's okay to DRAG ZIM DOWN WITH HIM]
i_have_organs: (** HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH)

[personal profile] i_have_organs 2014-01-17 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
HA! HA! HA! PROCEED WITH THE FACE LEAKING, IMPOTENT WEAKLING!

[personal profile] meddler 2014-01-17 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yes... Yes, it does. ]

That's what I said, wasn't it?

[ a pause ]

But, never mind that. Now you looked like you needed more than a bit of help working on this and I'm just the man for the job.

[ But... first... ]

...Would you mind telling me what it is exactly?

[ ...Seriously. Please don't be a cyberman. ]
i_have_organs: (** BEAT YOUUUUUUUUUU)

[personal profile] i_have_organs 2014-01-17 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
[WIMP SLAPPING BEGINS.]

UNHAND ME! TAKE YOUR MEATY MEAT PAWS OFF OF MEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

[In the mean time, a half dozen security guards, heavily armed security guards, catch up with them.]
alittlemystery: (HOW IS ANY OF THIS OKAY?!)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2014-01-17 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
[On one hand Dipper has undergone the magic of a training montage. He has jumped off a cliff to crash inside an off brand jaeger to punch his tiny rival. He has gone on many adventures and become strong and brave and

and he is still Dipper Pines this is a slap fight that disregards the oncoming guards]

You're the one who literally climbed onto my head you little creep! What kind of alien are you?! Aliens are suppose to be way more subtle! I was suppose to have to hunt you down and solve your mystery AND BECOME FAMOUS

YOU DIDN'T EVEN TRY, GENERIC ALIEN. I WAS COUNTING ON YOU.
smallshoes: (& she comes to rescue me.)

[personal profile] smallshoes 2014-01-17 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
Well it's - nice to meet you too! [This part she's good at, the friendliness and livelihood, eager to welcome most anyone into her heart.] I'm Elizabeth... please call me Lizzie! You have a beautiful name! [Now her mannerisms don't at all match up with her fencing uniform and the rapier bouncing at her side while she rocks on her heels. She's just a fourteen-year-old girl with a very warm smile.]

Umm, you're out here practicing something too...?
starlarking: (Let's agree to disagree!)

[personal profile] starlarking 2014-01-17 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
[the next thing you'll tell me is that people make duck hunting simulators. who in their right mind would do that?

anyway, there's a long slow blink here, as bits of the nomenclature start to fall into place.

You were inside a computer?
i_have_organs: (INGENIOUS!!!)

[personal profile] i_have_organs 2014-01-17 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
G... GENERIC? DO YOU THINK YOU TRIFLE WITH SOME NO NAME DIRECT TO DVD DOOKIE ALIEN YOU WORM CHUMS SELL AT THE BLOCKING BUSTER?!

I AM ZIM!

I AM! -

EEK?! [At just this moment... both of them are cuffed by disproportionately large hands of the beefy security guards. One radios in "We've got them. Sir."]

...

Sometimes, he wished that she didn't look at him like that. He ended up glancing off to the side.

"I don't have anything to celebrate."

That probably didn't answer her question, but he didn't seem intent on elaborating further.
