JULY/AUGUST TEST DRIVE MEME
You're like an angel with no wings.





Prompt A: Serious Event

In each trip a character makes from their room, they will have one random encounter with a monster (or monsters) that will attack them. Fight, team up with others, run away if you think you can, but there are monsters. Everywhere.

Prompt B: Lighter Event

The mansion is gone and now we're all camping! Women on one side of the camp and men on the other with a large picnic area in between. It's like summer camp except there are no counselors. You are in charge of making your own food and fun. If you wander too far out in the woods, you'll just get lost and wind up at the campsite again. Make s'mores! Tell spooky stories! Have fun!
Prompt C: ediS rorriM

Peace has been restored to the mirror side with the White Queen ruling, but she does have a request: get to know one another, dear mirrors. She's hosting a 1990s dance party and you're all invited. Jam out to Spice Girls and mingle.

Prompt D: Choices

Any scenario goes! Thread out your character's arrival, have them act like a long-established resident, let our past events inspire your scene, or write up literally any Wonderland-based scenario you feel like playing with.

Rules

Test drive memes go up every other month. Please note that any threads made as part of the test drive meme don't count towards your activity check, and they can't be used as samples for any future applications. Thank you for understanding, and have fun!

[Ben isn't sure if he feels better or worse when Leslie admits out loud that she's afraid. He generally relies on her to exist as the perpetual force to be reckoned with. To go on public television and shred celebrity personalities apart; to dress down the old mayor from his town, even when his own family runs the other way. It's unfair though, in the face of genuinely warped reality, to expect her to not admit a moment's weakness to her own husband. So, Ben just doesn't think about feeling better or worse. He just sets his shoulders straight, and gives her a determined look.]

I don't believe in anything here, but I was the first one to sign on for the Knope campaign. That hasn't changed. Team Knope all the way. [Team Knope has always been the both of them, even if Ben's role has just been to support Leslie in the past. Leading her over to the bench, he tugs her down to sit and wraps an arm around her shoulders whenever she does.] This bench is way too nice and new for a Pawnee bench. We're going to have to break it in. Maybe knock a few dings in it, chip the varnish.

Spill some soup and waffles on it.

[Read: They can meet up here any time she wants.

Also, soup is a perfectly acceptable meal, people need to stop hating on it.]

[ Fear can be a strength. Besides, they have nothing to actually fear but fear itself. If they use that fear and funnel it into everyone looking out for one another, maybe they can't stop the bad things but they can at least know they aren't all alone in whatever happens. There's a positive Leslie Knope spin to all of this, while trying to stay realistic.

And if she tears up just a little at Ben's words, well, she laughs at the end to cover it as she leans against his shoulder, taking his hand again. ]

We'll put the true Pawnee mark on it soon. Soup is a nice touch. Maybe we should let a raccoon loose in here.

[ Would she do it? Maybe. Probably not. But maybe. ]

Think of all the people you can teach Cones of Dunshire to.

[ There have to be a ton of lovable nerds who'd eat it up. ]
