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!

Oh, that snide remark made her practically bristle with anger, but it was the follow-up comment that made her scoff loudly, glaring at him with incredulous disbelief. The more he opened his mouth, the more she wanted to crack his skull with her fist.

...And yet, there was something strangely refreshing about someone who wasn't of her kind dishing it right back at her. It was, to her, a bit of a novelty.

"Right. You acted like a dick. I responded by getting mad. And you're saying you should be offended by my action?" Slowly, she shook her head though her fists were still clenched tight, knuckles going white. It was taking every fiber of her being not to smack him.

"I think I acted appropriately. Fuck you."

"Now, now, we have only just met as tempting as your offer may be. I am afraid I shall have to decline." He said with a devilish teasing grin. Of course, he understood her true meaning, but he was finding great amusement getting a rise out of her. Thus he couldn't really stop himself from needling her further, just to see what she would do.

Warriors really were so very easy to get riled up and she was proving to react just as much as any other warrior, he had ever dealt with, Thor, Sif and the Warriors Three included.

"Wh-what the hell?!"

Helen's jaw dropped, and she couldn't help stumbling on her words a little. To her, that was completely unexpected, and she could never have anticipated something like that. Helen was accustomed to people being afraid of her, and none had ever really come back with something like that in her life. They wouldn't have even dreamed of uttering such words. Not without being shunned and ridiculed for suggesting that a half-yoma was attractive. Congratulations, Loki. You managed to render the usually loud-mouthed swordswoman speechless. Though it was only temporary.

"Shut up! You know what I meant!"

Loki found himself laughing even harder at her dumbfounded expression, granted it was a bit surprising that she hadn't seen it coming when she had left the door wide open. However, he did have to remind himself that she didn't know what fireworks were, perhaps her world had been more conservative. This new found information clearly meant that more teasing would be in order.

"Obviously and I told you dear lady, we have only just met. I would at the least have to know your name before I would even entertain such a forceful proposition." He replied slyly, giving her a far more appraising gaze in an effort to frazzle her further.

Anyone who knew him, would know he was only teasing, but for the uninitiated, one might think it possible he was being serious. Admittedly she wasn't hard on the eyes, but that didn't mean he would actually try to bed someone he had only just met.
makestrouble: (That's embarassing)

She was from a medieval world that greatly feared her kind, and anyone teasing a Claymore in such a way would have been considered insane, or suspected of being a yoma themself. Having someone actually tease her in such a manner really did frazzle her, because she was of the mindset that no one would actually go that far with someone like her.

Helen huffed, rubbing the back of her neck and glaring at him sharply, despite the way her cheeks burned and grew red.

"It's Helen! Not dear lady." She snapped, very much aware of the way he kept looking at her. What the hell did he think he was doing?! But, Helen had to try and regain some ground so she smirked at him bitterly, and placed both hands on her hips.

"What makes you think you'd have a chance with me anyway."

"You are the one who made the offer, it is far too late to fake modesty now, Helen." He said smoothly, raising an eyebrow at her. It wasn't lost on him, how red she was getting or how frazzled she was becoming. Once more he was reminded of Sif in her youth, before she became the confident warrior that 'secretly' pined away for Thor.

"Perhaps you should put more thought into your propositions in the future. Not everyone is as much of a gentleman as I am." He added with a cocky grin spread across his face.

Maybe he was milking her misspoken words too much, but her reactions were just golden. It was hard to stop teasing, when she made things so easy for him. How could he not pick further at her?

"Hey, it's not my fault you stupidly misinterpreted my words." She shrugged, though she couldn't quite stop glaring at him. He was pushing her buttons and getting her all flustered, but she was determined not to let him get at her any more than he had. Unfortunately, she couldn't hide her temper and her body kept betraying her embarrassment.

"You must be so disappointed. How sad for you." She said with a tone that was mock-sympathetic and almost taunting. "Does the gentleman have a name, or do I have to make one up?"

"I misinterpreted nothing, you are the one using words without care for their meaning." He coolly pointed out, not even phased by her attempts to save face. "Perhaps next time, you should learn to choose your wording more carefully." He added, giving her another one of his cocky smirks.

"Hardly, I would have to care far more than I do to be disappointed that an offer, I already turned down is not available." He added with a scoff and a mocking laugh.

"No, I think not. I would hate to have you stalking me in an effort to earn my affections." He teased, as he was having far too much far to let up now.

Oh, that damn cocky grin of his. She just wanted to wipe it right off of his face, with her fist, and the way she kept those hands clenched made it clear that she was having trouble refraining from attacking him. His laugh and his words were really grating on her nerves.

"You're under the deluded impression I'm actually interested, though. You haven't shown me that you're worth even a second of my time, so stop assuming I want to fuck you." Helen snarled right back, even as she smirked cruelly at him and shook her head.

"Stop flirting with me and perhaps I shall stop thinking you wish to bed me." He countered, not even batting an eyelash. No matter how rustled she got, he wasn't worried for his safety. He could hold his own and he had plenty of tricks up his sleeve that she hadn't the slightest clue about.

"It must be hard to hear, I know. But we could never be. It just would not work out." He added, twisting the conversation further. He wasn't deluded, he could see she was agitated with him, but the fact she hadn't simply walked away from him was rather telling of her stubborn mindset. Like many warriors he knew, she obviously couldn't let the battle go, even if was only a battle of words and not one of swords and fists.

Indeed she had no idea who, exactly, she was arguing with, and she was no match for the God of Mischief. Never would she be a match for him, even if she tried her damn hardest to beat him down. But then, if she knew who he was, she would have attempted to fight him anyway...

"How the hell am I flirting with you?!" She exclaimed, with a strong hint of exasperation in her voice. "You keep pushing the issue, so it really is making me wonder. I bet you want me to get on my knees and beg you to take me, right?"

The sarcasm oozed from her lips as she spoke slowly and cynically, and pushed through the crowd so she could stand closer to him.

"You act annoyed, yet you continue to stay in my company. What precisely do you wish me to think? Someone truly annoyed would have already taken their leave long ago." He told her simply.

"Oh? Is that why you have moved closer? I assure you getting down on your knees and begging will not change my mind. Even if you do paint an intriguing picture." He continued to tease.

He could talk in circles for as long as it took for her to finally give up and walk away.

Unfortunately, Helen was someone who stuck around until the other person walked away, and she wouldn't back down unless he did. The angrier she grew, the more she wanted to knock Loki down a peg or two, and that would not be achieved by walking away.

She remained, her snarl turning into an unfriendly smirk.

"What a shame that the only time I'll do that is in your imagination. All I'm doing is considering whether or not I should kick your ass."
hisoldtricks: (022 || Thor)

[personal profile] hisoldtricks 2014-01-16 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
"The same can be said for you 'kicking my ass'. Only in your dreams, my dear." He said with a laugh. Obviously he wasn't seeing her an sort of threat to his person. But then he rarely saw anyone as a threat to his person. The burden was always on them to prove they could harm him.

As far as he was concerned she was merely another head strong warrior, thinking that problems could be solved at the end of a weapon. A type he had plenty of experience dealing with in the form of one hot-headed brother, who use to always chomp at the bit for a good fight.

He was right about that, really. She was a head strong warrior who tried to address problems by punching and swinging a blade at them. She was fiery and hot-headed, and thought with her fist before really considering the situation at hand. It had gotten her into trouble before, and there was no doubt that it would again.

"Says you." She snorted, looking him over slowly. To some, it might have been an intimidating gesture - sizing a person up the way she did. But she had a feeling it wouldn't bother Loki in the slightest. Nothing else, thus far, had. Reaching out, she gripped his arm tightly and moved in so that their bodies were just about touching. And in a low voice, she leaned in and chuckled.

"I would love to wipe that smirk off your face."

[personal profile] hisoldtricks 2014-01-16 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
His eyes quickly darted to the offending hand on his arm, which he found more offensive than her words. He wasn't one to tolerate anyone touching him without his say so. However he was more than willing to turn this around her as his other arm quickly wrapped around her waist and pulled her directly into his body.

"I am willing to bet there is something else you would love as well." He replied, his voice full of innuendo, as he maneuvered his arm out of her grip in an attempt to grab a hold of her wrist. He held her close as though, they were about to dance instead of fight.
