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!

[Don't mind the scrapes in the ceiling from her flailing. She doesn't have to pay you for those damages at least.]

[And a chair? Really? HUFF. What is she, disposable class? Technically that's included in her alt but what a waste of a great speedster.]

Maybe I can but I'm not gonna sit around being a perch for your bony aft.

[Because wow, look at that cranium. If that's any indication of what the other end is shaped like... Yup, she'll pass. Getting reamed by her boss sounds like more fun.]

[Aft? Like the back of a starship? He's not sure if she deliberately used that word or mispronounced a word humans use that is very close to it. Either way? Robot should not be looking at his back end.]

I didn't think so. You want to go fetch me a new one then? Or just transfer 10 credits into my account for it?

You do have credits right? They don't pay you people in oil or something, do they?

[Well if it's got boxy projections then 'aft' is likely a more accurate term, but hell if she's gonna get caught checking. NOPE.]

Fetch you? What am I, a service droid?

[Really Flashpoint, that's better than popping 10 creds for a new one, maybe you should think this through.]

Do you get paid in basic quality of living assets?

[It's a perfectly normal Ferengi bum. He's watching you now Misses Alien Rump Glancer.]

You could be? How would I be able to tell?

[Because robots are robots right?]

Hey, some people have different priorities. Oil could be a precious commodity among robots for all I know.

[She doesn't want to know about Ferengi bums, normal or not. And she is NOT looking! You're misinterpreting the lighting angles in her optics, thank you very much.]

[SRSLY?]

Service droids have better manners.

[Said extra snarkily, in case the distinction is unclear.]

Only if I want to get really drunk and purge my tanks later. Which sounds pretty good right now, the first part anyway. [She use a drink okay?]
