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!

Flashpoint gets one contemptuous wail from the emergency siren belonging to a rather Cybertronian looking vehicle as it calmly rolls onto the scene. Sure, Prowl wasn't exactly the spitting image of whatever they used for law enforcement on this ship (it probably wasn't wheelbound given the traffic), but he had his ways of clearing a path.

It usually didn't involve smashing the native's vehicles. And it doesn't take a battle computer to determine what just happened.

"This is behavior I'd expect from Rodimus or Sunstreaker."

Shit he sounds unhappy.

smashingly well!

Aw frag. Flashpoint was expecting fleet security or the emergency response team, in fact she was even waiting for some sight of them before splitting (they can handle this mess better than she can), but not one of her own kind.

And not...wow is she seeing this right? Please tell her that's not Prowl.

Her spoiler twitches in the most not!innocent shrug ever. "They've been a bad influence I guess!" Yeah that might be true if she'd actually spent any huge amount of time around them.

If a car could ever emanate the feeling of being given a deadpan stare, it would be Prowl at this very moment.

He doesn't appear to find the situation or her answer to be amusing at all. In fact, he probably would have shifted back if he weren't convinced it'd only exacerbate the situation. So he'll just draw a line at talking car.

"Do I really need to give you the run down of proper Autobot protocol among other species?"

Because he will. The longform version, too.

How does Prowl do that? It's like even his bumper knows how to lineface.

Protocols? Yes. Maybe. Probably. "No, 'course not. You can email me the short form though if it'll make you feel better." Because she's all about making Prowl feel better; he harasses her less when he's not grumpy.

In theory. It hasn't actually happened yet.

"But hey, no one was injured!" Much? They're organics, bruises don't even count. Those happen if you breath on them too hard.
