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!

"Won't be the same ones. Not given I know where ours is."

Swamps hold limited appeal to Bigby. Mud isn't a favourite thing, especially not when you have fur. But everyone has their own home and that's hers. "What are the woods here like? You said you spend a lot of time in them."

[twirlier]

"Well, could be the same given all they can draw here," she notes. "But the one that has been isn't. I think. Sometimes the connection between this and your world and Storybrooke and all has me confused."

"I do. I set up a shack out there, and have a garden and all. Which is dead now," she sighs, sounding pained about it. "But they go back a ways, lead to some caves. If you go too far though you start to fall asleep. Push on and you die, I've been told."

[bb_wolf]

He isn't sure what Storybrooke is, but he isn't going to admit a lack of knowledge when he can easily find out for himself.

"I'm not sure if any Cheshire can be kept somewhere they don't want to be," he admits. "Caves don't interest me much. Much prefer woodland. Forests."

[twirlier]

"We're still not sure if any of them are held here, but I know there's talk the White Rabbit was killed and others argue he's alive." She's heard the twins have that fight before.

"There's plenty here. I'm sure you can find space out there if you want. Just watch for the marked trees. Beyond that could get you killed."

[bb_wolf]

"Might be able to scent them out if they are. Might not. Got one of the most sensitive noses we've ever encountered across all the Homelands. Even in this skin."

[twirlier]

She bends slightly to try and look him in the face. "You think you'd be able to do that? It might be a way to find answers we've never had before," she admits, sounding excited about the idea.

[bb_wolf]

"Maybe. Right kind of magic and I couldn't in this skin. Maybe in my real shape."

[twirlier]

"I've been trying to trace the source of the magic but it hasn't been going well," she admits, sighing at that. "If you ever wanted to try..." She leave sit there not wanting to push him.
