TEST DRIVE MEME #1

[capitalm]

No gimmicky dinosaur setup this time round, since the game is actually rolling now! If you've got a character you want to try out in this setting, make a thread with them on here, and if you don't, see if you can tag other people with your characters.

Test drive threads can be anything you like, in-person or online, just make it clear which one your thread is when you start it. Make sure to put the name of the character and what canon they're from in the subject, so people know who they are and where they come from.

Can I use test drive threads as samples for my app?
Indeed you may, fair stranger

Can I decide a test drive thread is game canon?
Heck yeah you can, provided the person you threaded it with is cool with that too!

It seemed like she had, for a variety of reasons. Some not as obvious as others - he'd just been talking about the important of signs, after all.

"What? Oh, this?" He lifts up the book. It's some kind of thick, musty tome, with yellowed pages. A moment later he murmurs, seemingly to the book itself: "Shh. Be cool. Just let me talk to her."

"This is Tomie!" he says to her. "He's a good friend of mine."

[scribes]

Did he just...talk to that book?

Disciple didn't really know how to react to that. It was one of the moments she had fear where she didn't know if this was a normal every day thing in this planet and time or not. She had seen a number of miraculous and seemingly impossible things in the form of technology and powers she had never heard of before.

She really didn't want to look stupid, but there really was no way of knowing unless she asked.

"Oh. Is he...what kind of book is [It? He? He.] he?

[magicgasm]

"The unknowably magical kind, mostly," he says. "I found him in my attic years ago. He's how I became a mage." He's glad that, in this day and age, you could usually just say you were magic and have people believe you - or at least that it was some kind of regular superhuman stuff. Perhaps aliens were less up on this kind of thing, though.

"...Unfortunately, I'm the only one that can actually hear him talk. It's made me look like a lunatic more than once, let me tell you..."

Maybe this is one of those times, who knows.

Hearing voices that others could not hear was not unusual. Psiioniic had, and Di knew many other psychics did. Signless had had his visions. Hearing things from a book was a little different, however, but she was willing to give Jack the benefit of the doubt.

"Well, it's good to meet you too then, Tomie. I'm Magdayma." That was a name she hadn't given anyone in a long time, even excluding the 2000 years she had been kept asleep. It had once been a very intimate act for her, but it meant all of nothing now.

"I don't think I caught your name?" She lifted her gaze back to Jack.

[magicgasm]

"Tomie says hi," Jack says. He holds out his hand to shake. "And I'm Jack the Plaid. Nice to meet you, Magdayma. What brings you to Earth?"

[scribes]

That was a rather loaded question. It hadn't really been her choice after all. Hell, she hadn't even known of the existence of this planet until she woke up on it.

"Necessity." It seemed like an honest enough answer without getting into details she wasn't comforting sharing, and details that would probably just make the conversation uncomfortable.

"Life is not the safest back on Alternia, I did not really have much going there, and I had some people willing to help here, so why not? It has been a learning experience, that is for certain."

[magicgasm]

"Yeah, Alternia never seemed like the greatest place," he admits, apparently not finding much reason to doubt or question her explanation. He smiles a little. "Some of the people seem cool, though."

At least one of them, anyway.

[scribes]

"Some." She agreed.

"So for someone coming to Earth for the first time, what would you suggest in terms so sights and things to check out?" She had been told numerous things and had read even more, but it was the first time she had really had the chance to just talk to a human. Someone who had grown up on this planet and knew it personally.
