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!

It's free though? And ah, I'm Sora! And you?

[It was true though. The skeleton was decidedly probably not exactly flush. Then again, Sora had found his Munny wasn't accepted here either. Because there was no need for it. He isn't sure what a peso is but that was probably his sort of money back home? Presumably.]

...Free? For everyone? [It hasn't quite dawned on him that in a brand new world, he doesn't have a reputation, he's not merely one of the forgotten, he could be an equal, frail and shabby or not.]

Huh. That's nice of you guys. [Out goes his hand for shaking purposes.] I'm Héctor!

Yeah. At least, as far as I'm aware. But right! Nice to meet you!

[Though Sora himself isn't taking credit. He arrived much the same as Héctor, so really it is the Gods that should be thanked in arranging it all and not making them have to spend money to live here and all so unexpectedly like this. His gloved hand reaches to take the other's without thinking.]

Nice to meet you too!

[His hand holds the faintest warmth, despite being bone. Of course, he's a little more lively than the average skeleton and he's not actually a dead body.]

So, where were we?

Where were we? Ah, I was saying how stuff is free here? You have housing?

[Right? That's what he was saying? Before they got distracted with introductions or the like. Sora says as he withdraws his hand, unsure what to make of the faint warmth from the other even as a skeleton. But then that might just be because he was used to dealing with Jack? And Captain Jack back home.]

No, not yet. Wouldn't want to rush into things.

[He's not sure himself why he's hesitating. What's the point if he is going to shimmer and vanish--or get lucky for once, and be put back in his proper place?]

But if you swear it's free... eh, what the heck, might as well.

Alright. So it's just based on whichever God or Goddess you pick? Then we find their area and they have housing. I mean, I guess you could find your own too, but for now it's been okay.

[At least, for Sora. He hasn't had issues at least. Then again his home was more humble anyway, and he was by now well used to sharing with his friends while traveling and all.]
