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!

That's about all we can do in Wonderland, most of the time. Make the best of what we have, and drink heavily.

[She'll pour herself her own shot of tequila before raising it in a bit of a toast and knocking it back.]

I'm Freya.

[twofacedly]

Nice to meet you, Freya.

[ She's still deciding how to proceed--borrow her darling doppelganger's name and mannerisms for the foreseeable future, or throw caution to the winds and take her chances? Neither sounded like a good idea when she knew there was always the possibility of her "friends" showing up.

Katherine watches Freya down the shot, her grip tightening around her glass. What she'd drank already had her feeling fuzzy, but her new companion looked like she could handle the entire bottle easily.

God, she wished Elena would choke on a stake. ]

I take it you've been here a while?

[deathlessness]

[She exhales slowly as she tries to do some mental math.]

Coming up on three years, I think?

[Then she makes a face.]

I've become one of those long term residents I'm always encouraging other people to talk to.

[twofacedly]

[ Her face scrunches up as well. ] That long?

[ No wonder she found her way to that tequila so easily. Maybe she ran the place? Katherine hadn't bothered to search for ownership. She'd kind of stumbled upon it after figuring out how hard it is to climb steps as a human. Unless a certain vampire's name is prominent somewhere, in which case she's blind.

Regardless, she could see the possibilities of being stuck here. Maybe it could be like her little retreat in Pennsylvania? Comfortable. Safe. Just completely out of her control this time.

The temptation to pour another shot is strong. ]

Since you've been here so long, maybe you'd know if anyone from a place called Mystic Falls would happen to be around?

[ Elena would probably be asking that pretty quick, anyway. She never could handle being too far from her little circle of white knights.

...Fuck it. She takes another shot, just in case she hates the answer. ]

I'm looking for some friends of mine.

[deathlessness]

Not for a long time. Though there are a few ... Mystic Falls adjacent.

[She probably should play things a little closer to the chest, but instead she just raises her hand and waves her fingers.]

Myself.

[A pause.]

And my brother Kol.

[twofacedly]

[ If Katherine hadn't mastered the art of the poker face so well, she'd probably be saying a lot with her expressions. At first, there's happiness. Relief. Then that fades, right before she gets the best feeling of all. Pure resignation. She knew this was all too good to be true. Hearing Kol's name, too? Really seals the deal.

One of her eyebrows goes up with a wan smile. ]

Mikaelsons never fail to surprise me, even after all these years.
