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!

Way I'm told, it will try and kill us sooner than later, so might as well enjoy it until it tries.

[Which he says with another lift of his glass, downing it before pushing his glass towards her, hoping she will fill it up. Not that it isn't free, but because it's a friendly gesture in his mind. Stealing other people's alcohol.]

Do those circumstances involve only inhaling the vapor of your alcohol and not drinking it?

[Which is amusing to him, though might be a bit of a sharp blow not knowing what is going on in her life here.]

[twofacedly]

If you live like you're always about to die, it can't really surprise you, can it?

[ Or constantly run from death. One of the two.

Katherine throws back her next shot then shoves the bottle in Jacob's direction. Does she look like a bartender or something? Gross. ]

Some of us are trying to pace ourselves. [ There's that smile again, but at least it's a little warmer this time. He's offering her a modicum of entertainment so far, which is nice. ] Though with the way you look, your plans seem much more interesting than mine.

[relentlessness]

Oh I plan to survive death time and again so that it's hateful of me. I do love making those in power dislike me.

[It's what his life is about, after all.

Taking the bottle, he pours himself a double shot.]

Aren't you delightfully charming. Why thank you. I am looking to see just how much trouble I might make out of this place. The lack of a city, more buildings than one, and an ability to take on a common foe seems lacking but I can make the best of it.
