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!

[ Another one from Indiana? ]

Let me guess... Pawnee?

[ It could be a coincidence but Wonderland doesn't really do coincidences, does it? ]

How about I give you a few tips instead. We might come back from the dead here but I really don't recommend it to begin with, plus accidentally shooting yourself will be kind of embarrassing.

[satansniece]

Yup. Let me guess, you've met Leslie? [She's more memorable than Ben, at least.] I'm April, by the way.

Well, that would be embarrassing. [April can't help but look a little skeptical. Strangers giving a crap is always cause for concern, but she seems nice enough.] You'd really do that?

[thevulnerability]

Oh, yeah. I've met Leslie.

[ And they sure did make an impression on each other, and Chloe is pretty sure Leslie is not a fan of hers. ]

Definitely. I'm a cop back home. The last thing I want is someone who doesn't know how to use a firearm waving one around. [ Plus... She genuinely gives a crap. That's just how she is. ] I'm Chloe. You'll get settled in. The first six months I was here, my room looked like a discount suite at a Days Inn. You'll probably want something more, I don't know, homey sooner or later.

[satansniece]

She means well. [No, she's not sticking up for Leslie. Shut up.] And she'll probably end up taking over eventually, so you probably want to get on her good side.

Well, I was planning on running around with a blindfold and a sawed-off, but if you're a cop I guess I'll wait until later. [She smirks, but the mention of anything homey just makes her miss Andy.] That's a nice thought, but the only things that would make this feel like home are my husband and my dog. I don't really need anything else.

[thevulnerability]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's way too late for that.

[ How was she supposed to know that a miniature horse and a pony were two different things??? ]

I have a kid back home, so I get it. [ She offers her a sympathetic smile. That was certainly a huge factor in why it took her so long to accept being in Wonderland. ] It doesn't get better but you, I don't know... You get used to it.

[satansniece]

Jeez. What'd you do? She's usually pretty forgiving. Unless you're from Eagleton, or if you insulted Lil' Sebastian. [April's eyes widen] You didn't insult Lil' Sebastian, did you?

That's gotta be rough. [She returns Chloe's smile with a soft and somewhat sad one of her own, and she picks at imaginary lint on her pants.] I guess I'll have to. It's not like we've never been apart.

[thevulnerability]

Oh, God, is Lil' Sebastian the damn horse?

[ What is with this town and the damn horse????????

SHE DOESN'T GET IT. ]

Luckily, this place keeps us busy enough that you won't have a lot of time to dwell on it. Half the time it's one of the Queens throwing a party and the other half is... You know, this. [ She gestures at the door. ]

[satansniece]

Mini-horse if you want to get technical, but yeah. [April is both amused and horrified. That must've been it.] It's just a Pawnee thing, but Leslie takes Pawnee really personal.

Sounds like a blast. [Her words positively drip with sarcasm as they often do, but she's at least mildly intrigued.] Which queen throws better parties?

[thevulnerability]

Yeah, I got that impression. And it looks like she's going to be taking this place pretty seriously too.

[ Ignore her, April, she's just mad because she didn't get a new arrival gift basket. ]

Uh, the Red Queen I guess? But it helps that she throws more parties and she doesn't hate us like the Queen of Hearts. [ Chloe tilts her head. ] Although, the Queen of Hearts is gone now and we have the White Queen, and she hasn't thrown any parties yet. She did redecorate the Mirror side though.
