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!

[Also luckily for Rin, he's used to being led around by people who are allergic to cooperation and speaking up except when it suits them. Or really just the one person. Not that that's entirely a fair portrayal at this point, but the reflexes are still there.

He's right on Sho's heels despite the darkness and the non-signal. Or maybe he's just following the clinking of all those buckles, who knows.]

... Aren't they getting louder.

[He does lower his voice, but it's a moot point, because... yes, in fact, the scratching is getting louder in that direction. At this point, Rin starts slowing down -- he's not 100% sure there was movement in that darkness, but he's pretty sure he doesn't need to run facefirst into another attack of the not-moles.]

[Slowing down doesn't exactly help their situation...]

You got any better ideas?

[Because stopping and waiting to find out doesn't seem like a good one.]

Not for running away. [That wasn't even his idea in the first place!!] But we should probably find something to hit them with. If they're there.

[He is still jogging, though at a slower pace so he can look around for... rocks, or something. He kind of regrets leaving his shovel behind, but even Rin isn't really up for lugging an entire miner's shovel around while he's (most likely) running for dear life.]
thegrimheaper: (And yet I can’t remember it.)

[Except, Sho's totally going to bring that up.]

Didn't you just have a shovel?

[You can't run with a giant shovel??? What are you, some kind of not-video game character??]

Yeah, that was before you ran off on me.

[His series doesn't even count as shounen sports, it's all very sad. Like hot chocolate with no whipped cream.]
thegrimheaper: (Make up in obscurity what lacks in style)

[Oh come on Rin. BE MORE USEFUL!!]

You ever fight before?

[HE'S TRYING you kind of have him at a disadvantage or like. Maybe 50. He does pause for a moment to pick up and heft what looks like a decent chunk of scrap metal.]

'Course I have. You?

[He asks it more than a little dubiously, because first of all, deserter, and second of all, talks way too much when it's inconvenient. Seriously, it's like you're a videogame antagonist or something.]
