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!

[so Kay, you know that punching bag you're playing around with? That one that seemed so securely attached to the ceiling?]

[No it's falling. Rapidly. Good job with those explosive punches, Kay.]

[Don't worry though, there's a giant robot hand reaching in to grab it, before it lands on you.]


Be careful.
littlecrowgirl: (oh boy)

[personal profile] littlecrowgirl 2014-01-14 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[AWW YEAH she knew she could do it--wait no this isn't good. She's just about to roll out of the way before a giant hand reaches out, taking it right out of thin air.

Whoa.

Whoa.]


Wow...nice reflexes Mr.--wait. You're a giant robot. I'm talking to a giant robot.
fuckinstoplights: (Put it over there.)

[personal profile] fuckinstoplights 2014-01-14 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes.

[He moves to set the bag down. Really, he'd... just been passing by. He should have kept going. What was a human--]

[--human lives were more precious than his own, after all.]


You are.
littlecrowgirl: (Default)

[personal profile] littlecrowgirl 2014-01-14 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
...Thanks a bunch for that, really!

[Well this just turned into the coolest conversation ever.]

Wow....

[Don't mind if she just circles around you, completely fascinated.]
fuckinstoplights: (Every step you take I'll be watching)

[personal profile] fuckinstoplights 2014-01-14 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Human life is precious.

[He says, as if repeating a mantra. In a way... he sort of is. What Shadowmaru said would be an important thing to remember, after all.]

[He turns to follow her, as she moves, watching her.]


What are you doing?
littlecrowgirl: (sparklesparkle)

[personal profile] littlecrowgirl 2014-01-15 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
Well I can't argue with that! I like living.

[C'mon Kagerou, just because you look like a robot doesn't mean you have to act like one. Show a little smile!]

Just checkin' you out! I've never seen anyone like YOU before...
fuckinstoplights: (Shh we're having a serious talk now.)

[personal profile] fuckinstoplights 2014-01-15 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
... So do I.

[No smiling is for robots who have less bad submarine experiences.]

You won't. I'm... not meant to be out and about like this.
littlecrowgirl: (is that so?)

[personal profile] littlecrowgirl 2014-01-16 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
It's a good quote to live by, trust me. It practically says it right there.

[IT DOES, KAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH.]

...Wait, why not? Are people worried you're gonna walk into buildings? Smack up some stoplights?
fuckinstoplights: (How many licks DOES it take?)

[personal profile] fuckinstoplights 2014-01-16 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
... It does?

[Kay you're confusing the bird.]

[He tilts his head.]


How did you know about the stoplight...?
littlecrowgirl: (its a funny story really)

[personal profile] littlecrowgirl 2014-01-17 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
Huh? You...really did that? You took out a stoplight?


Wow, robots are SO cool.
fuckinstoplights: (Yes I'm listening.)

[personal profile] fuckinstoplights 2014-01-17 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
I... did.

[He shifts a little, looking distinctly uncomfortable, admitting that.]

You think that's "cool"?
littlecrowgirl: (its a funny story really)

[personal profile] littlecrowgirl 2014-01-18 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
A giant robot taking out a stoplight? What part of that sentence isn't cool?

[Seriously, it's like something out of a movie.]

What's your name?
fuckinstoplights: (Wait we put the gas where now?)

[personal profile] fuckinstoplights 2014-01-18 08:43 am (UTC)(link)
The part where the police hunted me, afterward.

[He blinks at her.]

... You're really asking my name?
