THERE ARE ONLY THREE RULES FOR THE TDM:

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


  1. SNOW BLIND - It's snowing, a lot, and pristine landscape though it might create, it also brings plenty of problems, especially when you live in an Edwardian-style village with a serious lack of snow shovels. It's currently blizzard conditions and visibility is nil — Maybe you gave in and ducked into the nearest house for temporary shelter, and discover someone else had the same idea (or just lives there, oops). Maybe you're stubborn enough to still be out in it, struggling against the wind and snow. Or maybe you've tromped into the South Village Inn like a human popsicle, and are just hoping you don't lose any fingers before you make it to the fireplace.

  2. JUMPED-UP - Winter's here, which means it's the perfect time for an expedition to warmer, southern climes. You've joined a group following the river all the way down to the far southern beach, for fun and for science. On this latest break in your journey, you've spotted a large, jewel-colored feather and picked it up, maybe as a specimen to bring back or just a feather for your cap. Turns out it's an archaeopteryx feather, and you're now, well... let's call it a little gravity-challenged. Not a bad benefit once you figure out how to control it.

  3. COLD CALL - The snow has slacked off, leaving behind a winter wonderland. Sure, there's plenty to do, but after being cooped up inside for days, most people won't blame you for a morale-booster — That is, unless your way of starting a snowball fight is to pop up and throw them at unsuspecting passers-by. Making a snow man or snow angels might come with a little less retribution, but you do you.

  4. 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, 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 in your SUBJECT LINE.

The shock of the warm air when he finally gets into the inn knocks the air from his lungs, almost makes him cough. The warmth spreads through his cheeks, the skin starting to heat up until he almost feels like he's burning. He has to peel off what feels like every piece of clothing he's ever owned because now he's overheating, shedding the gloves and dragging the scarf from around his neck.

There's mercifully a place to put coats, because he's pretty sure it's going to begin dripping everywhere in short order. His boots are already leaving puddles.

The inn is pretty full, but the man near the fire gestures to an empty chair and right now Wash doesn't care about anything other than getting warm and dry. He walks over and practically throws himself into the chair, then holds his hands out towards the fire, ignoring the sting.

Unfortunately Blaine doesn't have a towel or anything like it on him, but the heat of the fire is pretty intense this close and might dry the new guy out a bit. He watches the other man fling himself into the seat and shifts, setting the little animal down so he can scoot closer and offer his coffee mug. It's black, but full. Looks like he hasn't even taken a drink from it yet.

"Looks like you need this more than me."
