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!

your setups were so beautiful /chin in hands right back

[Joan shakes her head with a soft smile at the thank you, which is her way of saying she is more than happy to lend a hand. She's incredibly impressed that Rena has been supporting this tall, well-built man by herself this whole time despite the danger.

The next explosion causes the ground to rock a bit, and she tightens her hold on the man, trying to keep steady, keep from falling which could be disastrous when trying to help someone else walk. The young woman doesn't have to say it out loud for Joan to catch her meaning, and she nods, steeling herself again.]


There's one we can get too quicker than this one, but it's to the left through that corridor. [closer to the danger (it's something else that is unspoken), but this man potentially doesn't have much time to wait around.]

[ Few of them have much time to wait around, it could be said. On the list of Dangerous Situations that Rena has run into or had the misfortune of being run into by, this one certainly is a decent contender for the top ten; it would be a lie to say that the idea of going closer to the source of the explosions doesn't shake the nerves one bit. But if they just keep moving...

Her grip on their charge, and her answering nod, are equally firm.
] Then let's hurry. Could you lead the way?

[ooc: so, so sorry for the delay. life crept up on me so i completely understand if you have to drop this thread, but i'm really loving it. :)

joan nods in response to the question as she tightens her own hold on the man who is relying on them to lead him to safety.]
Keep hold of him. I'll lead. [the ground shakes again, and she only hesitates a moment to gather her balance again before she's moving, down the corridor, until they reach the shelter for the man and for the both of them as well. they enter through the door of the shelter long before they would've made it in if they'd stayed in line at the other shelter.]

(( OOC: Nonono, it's fine! I have to apologize too since I'm actually going to be gone a week starting today, so I don't have time to finish this tag at the moment, but I'll get back to it when I'm home, if that's okay! ))

[ooc: Of course, it is more than okay! Thank you so much for asking. :) I hope you have a great week!]
