the test drive meme. ❧ let's do this. Anyone can post to the test drive meme, including duplicates! Please put your character name and canon in the title of your comment. All threads are considered open to everyone! Tag around and make some friends (or enemies)! If you decide to apply to the game, you can use your TDM threads for your app samples! You only need to provide seven comments if you use TDM samples. You can't really be late to a TDM! This will be considered open until the next one goes live next month. You can make up your own scenario, interact with one of the locations in the game, use the welcome process of your character waking or selecting a god house, or use our optional prompt below! You do not need to pick a god house to play on the TDM! You can have your character still in the process of discussing/deciding/despairing instead. If you are accepted to the game, you can keep TDM threads as game canon as long as you fudge some of the details depending on your original thread. If you aren't sure exactly how to do this, you can always ask a mod. The game cap is currently at 57/100. Casts currently at/approaching the 8 character limit are: ASOIAF/GOT: 6/8 Marvel Cinematic: 5/8 Reserves open on September 24 at 12:01AM EST and close on September 30 at 11:59PM EST. Applications open on October 1 at 12:01AM EST and close on October 7 at 11:59PM EST. Please always feel free to contact the mods if you have any questions! Have fun, dear (future?) Wanderers. ♥ ❧ optional scenario. As you're walking unsuspectingly through the city, you might feel a sharp but brief pain as something strikes you suddenly at any point on your body. It seems you've been shot - but where there might be a wound with any other weapon is a bright splash of paint instead, glowing faintly with magic. Our modern-Earth savvy friends might be able to recognize this as the work of a paintball gun, complete with that particular sting that isn't anywhere near unbearable but is still really unpleasant all the same. If you aren't quick to figure out what's happening, you might be struck by another paintball, or perhaps even several at the same time. As the colorful paint splashes across your clothes (will that come out in the wash later?), you'll feel compelled to interesting effects depending on the color: red: you laugh once, with a loud ha! orange: you finger-guns at the first person you see. yellow: you sing and hold a note for five seconds. green: you sneeze. blue: you fart. purple: you cry. :( The more paintballs you're struck by, the sharper your eye, or perhaps even simply from picking up on the juvenile nature of the pranks themselves, some of you might catch the culprits darting around corners and giggling as they run past. Young children with simple handmade guns and bags of what look like glowing marbles. They might be willing to share with you if you promise to let them keep playing - or they might make a run for it if you try to get in their way. Either way, good luck getting that paint our of your clothes! navigation.

( There's suddenly a caustic shriek that rings out through the open area, and Emil can't help but immediately stop dead and look at the source. On its face, it does look like a very dire situation -- there's a...creature? That's just yelled, holding onto their chest with that tell-tale red splatter that's present. He knows nothing of trolls, really. Even if someone more adept would notice that the colour is too bright to be real blood, he's not thinking very rationally. Just leaping over -- also probably unwise -- and rushing to aid this poor soul, cut down in their prime.

-- Or so it seemed, at first. )

Are you sure? You're delirious! You need first aid! ( It certainly looks like this guy just got shot, so perhaps it's best to assume that's the case. )

[ By the time Emil gets there, Karkat is grumpily trying to wipe the paint out of his sweater. He grunts at the offer of first-aid. ]

Yes, I'm fucking sure! While I've often been accused of delirium, I reassure you that I know the damn difference between blood and paint. Any wiggler could tell after first glance!

[enflame]

( Well, this is the price he pays for being considerate. Emil comes to a dead stop, face shifting from blank to a scowl. )

Is it necessary to be so rude when I'm acting out of concern for you? You didn't know for a moment, didn't you? I wasn't going to risk someone bleeding out in the street.

( He's also not sure what a 'wiggler' is, so it's better to slide past that instead of risking his moral high ground. )

[hemogenesis]

It's not personal, you douche. I'm rude to everyone. But fine! Thanks. If I was actually bleeding out, I'd probably appreciate it.

[ Karkat can, in fact, be chastened, even if sounds contrite when giving his gratitude. ]
