SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER TEST DRIVE MEME
It's Chinese for 'Japan.'






Prompt A: Serious Event

A memory is displayed. It's yours, the most traumatic of your life whether it was a terrifying clown encounter or the death of someone you love. It's on a loop for everyone to see. You can enter the memory and take your own place, but no matter how hard you try, you cannot alter the outcome. You're forced to try in vain to change what happened or watch until you decide it's too much and walk away. If you can.

Prompt B: Lighter Event

Welcome to Storybrooke.

You've lived in a quiet town in Maine for as long as you can remember. You are a fishmonger or a diner employee, perhaps you work at the hospital. Whatever you do and whoever you are, it's not the real you. You are cursed and you know no other life outside of Storybrooke.

When the curse breaks (either from True Love's Kiss or, in a more TDM friendly, handwaved way), you have two sets of memories: who you were, and who you are. Do you choose to accept all that you were cursed to believe, or would you rather slip back into your old life? The choice is yours.

Prompt C: ediS rorriM

Use this prompt to test out your mirrors. Are they loyal to the new White Queen or do they think she's too good to be true? Do they long to cross over or spend their days tormenting reals? Whatever the scenario, know that the Queen is watching, and let that guide you - or not.

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!

She's going to have to take his mind for it. Unless it gets bad. Then she might stare. Her mouth opens and then closes, staring at him with wide eyes. "You're not kidding, are you?" She snorts, shaking her head. "And people look at me weird for what happened to me."

[great_assisting]

"So not kidding. It wasn't even the weirdest thing on that case."

Actually...

"It was one of the least weird things on that case. There was a boy, the things he dreamed came real. He had nightmares about that song." Another shrug.

[tragedygirls]

"Okay, you know, with the rest? That makes more sense." And she is sincere in that. "They've said for years that our mind is way more powerful than what little we use it for. You believe that, then maybe creating things with your mind makes sense."

[great_assisting]

"He was a holistic, like Dirk and Bart. And Mona, apparently, I've never met Mona." Or if he has, he was unaware of it at the time.

[tragedygirls]

"Wait, back up. So they're like a type of person?" She isn't sure what ti think about that, after the other way he said it.

[great_assisting]

"I guess so. Dirk says he's a holistic detective and Bart says she's a holistic assassin. I don't know if someone just taught them that word, or used it to try and explain what they did."

[tragedygirls]

"I wonder if it means beyond what we know it to mean, you know?" Which makes sense. "Is this Dirk guy an alien?"

[great_assisting]

"Pretty sure he's not," Todd admits.

[tragedygirls]

"Alien is not a bad thing. I mean, it was cool before this place, but this place..." She shakes her head. "Is it weird to you as well? How different people are?"

[great_assisting]

"It's super weird. Everything is weird. I'm just mostly resigned and taking up drinking again as a hobby."

[tragedygirls]

That gets him a laugh, nodding. "Fair enough. I admit, it would probably drive me to drink too," she says. "What happens when you're part of it and you can do those things? You sure it won't happen?"

[great_assisting]

"I have no idea. I am making most of it up as I go along and hoping to not die."

[tragedygirls]

A mug of steaming coffee appeared before her, a rich caramel color of cream and sugar, she leaned in, wrapping her hands around it as she leaned in, inhaling the scent. "Do you know that in your circumstances many people would have given up by now? You see it in studies all the time. Especially when faced with constant possibilities of life and death."

It may be true, or she may be baiting him to see his reaction.
