Test Drive 20 (August & September)

Test Drive
→ Holds and applications are always open. Holds are required for all applications.

→ Choose one of the scenarios below or make up your own. Feel free to try multiple scenarios.

→ Write LOGS or TEXT prompts, or both.

THERE ARE ONLY THREE RULES FOR 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.

→ TDM threads cannot be used to meet AC, but if the character is accepted into the game and both players agree, you may keep the CR.

Character want ads are here.


Prompts

Happy anniversary, villagers! Buckle up!

  1. HEAT WAVE - Poor you. All you were trying to do was get yourself a little something to eat from the kitchen at the inn. Maybe you cooked it up yourself (The inn does, after all, have an electric stove — FANCY!), or maybe you just grabbed some leftovers. By accident or on purpose, you ended up with way more RED SALT in there than you maybe should have, and this is no ordinary seasoning. Whether you like things eye-wateringly spicy or not, it's August, you're sweating buckets, and it's only getting worse.

  2. SKUNK DRUNK - Isn't that just the way? You're out and about, minding your own business, and you get sprayed by a BROWN SKUNK. The good news? It doesn't stink like a normal skunk. The also possibly good news, depending on who you ask? You're now in for about 5 hours of being very, very friendly. (Just remember to keep the test drive PG!)

  3. BRAIN CANDY - Whether you made it to the anniversary party or not, you've gotten your hands on a piece of leftover candy from the big bash. Careful, though, these treats are more than meets the eye: Whatever COLOR it was, you've now taken on the associated personality traits. (Not the power, just the traits.) At least it only lasts 10 minutes.

  4. WILDCARD - Choose your own adventure. Maybe play powers roulette.

Texts

All characters are fitted with a smart watch-like device on their left wrist, which they can use to send text messages to other villagers.

- Texts may only be 140 characters long
- No video or voice, text only
- 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 in your SUBJECT LINE.

Sure, I wouldn't mind that. I have a history of experimenting on myself, why stop now?

Man, do I know that feeling. I once had to mix my own lycanthropy vaccine. [Pretend there's directions to a house here, an address or co-ordinates or... something. Test Drive Alex is for our purposes relatively settled in]

That sounds like a story I'll have to hear.

Definitely could have used one of these cats after that.

huh

These things could probably be domesticated for use as working/therapy dogs, now that I think of it. We've definitely got a population with a higher-than-normal risk of PTSD given the obvious.

So whoever took us here, you think they had that in mind?

[Sent as a series of texts for character limit reasons]
I honestly have no idea. Though there do seem to be a higher-than-average number of people here with... Interesting lives. In the Chinese sense of the word.

I've noticed there are a lot of people from the same realities, as well. Given what I know about alternate realities, it seems unlikely that there isn't some intelligence involved in our being here.

We'd have a lot more snakes if it were random. Statistically speaking, at least a good quarter of us would be some variety of snake if it were random.

Yes, several people I know are here. We were called Earth's Mightiest Heroes so maybe that has something to do with it, why we were attractive to someone.
