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!

[ To be fair, Leslie is making a lot of good points, and Chloe knows that she is. For all the horrible things she's been through back home - her father dying, solving murders, almost dying herself a couple times - Wonderland has still been a rough adjustment. Her first death happened not long after her arrival had screwed her up in ways it took months to work out. But it is exactly for those reasons that maybe Leslie's onto something, that maybe it is important to have more positivity in the face of something that can make you feel so hopeless some days, and so helpless.

She considers all of this, but there's one point she's still stuck on. ]

Sorry, was the, uh... Was the pony murdered?

[ Jesus Christ, Chloe. ]

[ladydemocracy]

[ This woman is honestly on real thin ice, and Leslie's previously softened face hardens again. ]

Who would murder a defenseless...[ Wait, go back. ] A miniature horse is not a pony, have some respect for the dead! What are you, a monster?

[ To be fair, everyone in Pawnee is over the moon for this stupid horse. ]

Look, ma'am, I have nothing but the utmost respect for the men but especially women who step in to help people in positions that can sometimes be thankless, and my job is one of those positions. So, forgive me, if I want to try and make this place a little better instead of a depressing death trap. I would think a police detective who sees the worst of the worst would understand.

[thevulnerability]

I, uh...

[ Part of her understands that she just majorly fucked up but the other part of her honestly has no idea what is going on anymore.

Chloe isn't sure she buys that being a director with a parks department is really has any equality to being a police detective in Los Angeles, but she manages to choke a quip down about that. Mostly because, given the judgments Chloe has made? This lady is kind of scary, all things considered. ]

No, you're right. You're... totally right. I'm sure the po- miniature horse was an important part of your community and I'm... sorry for your loss. [ She manages to keep a straight face. Maybe she isn't that bad of an actress after all. ] I have seen the worst of the worst at home, and here. I guess I get a little caught up in that sometimes. I think that your, uh, passion for wanting to bring something positive into this place is very admirable.

[ladydemocracy]

Like I said - if only bad things happen, then everyone will always expect bad things, which makes everyone super negative, which makes this place pretty miserable.

[ So, anyone is welcome to think she's too passionate or too enthusiastic. She's just Leslie Knope, and she refuses to give in to the attitude most people here seem to have. ]

[thevulnerability]

[ Yikes, she's just so... Genuine. Chloe isn't sure how much of this woman she'll be able to handle, it's like Ella magnified.

Granted, Ella had been growing on her. ]

Well, I guess it might be your job to bring something positive to it, then.

[ She is trying to be a little encouraging and nice now, at least. She doesn't mean it in a bad way at all.

Even Chloe can admit a little more nice around here wouldn't hurt. ]

[ladydemocracy]

Maybe! It never hurts to want something good for everyone.

[ And already, she's thinking about that and what it could mean. Ideas are formulating. ]

If that becomes my job, then I accept.

[thevulnerability]

[ Oh God this is certainly going to be A Thing, isn't it? ]

Great. Well, uh, you know. Good luck.

[ladydemocracy]

Thanks! I appreciate the vote of confidence.

[thevulnerability]

Anytime.

[ This place will either eat this woman alive or she'll be running it in a week. ]
