Test Drive 23

Test Drive
The 3 rules of the TDM
  1. It has to take place in the 6I universe.
  2. It cannot be the character's arrival into the game.
  3. Please only test new characters who do not have a version in the game. Our cast list is here.
Prompts
  • FULL VIEW - The Observers really do their best to make each villager's wrist device as user-friendly for them as possible, but with all new tech, sometimes there's a learning curve... And sometimes, you just screw up. Like now, when you've accidentally triggered the video option and called someone completely random on the network without realizing it. Yep, you're just going about whatever, totally oblivious. Here's to hoping that your clothes are fully on, and that the person on the other end is nice enough to speak up sooner rather than later.
  • SHADOW OF A DOUBT - Being the intrepid (or just bored) villager you are, you've gone exploring and found yourself a very interesting (if moderately spooky) cave. What lurks in the dark? Might it be some shadow dust to turn you intangible? Or perhaps a cave wolf with all of its little goblin-monkey friends? Maybe, just maybe, it's both.
  • ILL AT EASE - 'Tis the season for the common cold, and you've got it. Unfortunately, the village doesn't have a corner drug store, so you're achy, miserable, maybe a little feverish. The good news is a little time in bed should do the trick. That is, if you're not the sort who has to be bullied to take care of yourself anytime you get sick. Either way, maybe you'll be lucky enough to find someone to tuck you in and bring you some chicken soup.
  • WILDCARD - Choose your own adventure. Maybe play powers roulette.
  • NETWORK - All characters are fitted with a smart watch-like device on their left wrist, which they can use to send text and video messages to other villagers. Text and/or video are allowed, any length. Display names may be changed by characters on the fly, but anyone can tap to see someone's real full name.
Please list your CHARACTER NAME, CANON & PROMPT NAMES in your SUBJECT LINE.

She really, really needed to get that sign.

Although it was kind of nice that everyone was currently giving her a rather wide berth. And going through walls instead of around them definitely made traveling across the village faster.

But there's still a sigh when he spots her, when he asks the question and for a moment she considers answering honestly.

But where is the fun in that?

"Oh, I'm neither. I'm actually a hologram. Yeah. Jokes on you, buddy."

That answer gets a long, slow look, shifting a step or two to try and get a better glimpse of her. His eyes narrowing, trying to focus on the shimmer of form rather than the objects beyond her, the things that are solid and bear brighter colors.

"A Victorian hologram, huh? I have to admit that's some pretty fancy tech from the same people that prescribed cough syrup with heroine and opium."

Though that begs a lot of question though, especially how she ended up like this. "And just how did you end up like this? Do you know?"

Considering she still hadn't fully broken away from the migrating towards blacks and the duller colors that could be found in the wasteland, there really wasn't much bright about her.

"I don't know about you but I could really use of that right about now."

But her endless amounts of sarcasm wasn't going to do anything to fix her actual problem. "There's this cave nearby that I've been wanting to check out. Turns out it was filled with some kind of dust."
