MARCH/APRIL TEST DRIVE MEME
Welcome to the EWAY TDM!





Prompt A: Serious Event

When most of the characters awake, they will be greeted with a pounding headache, ringing ears, and fuzzy recollections of the night before. They’ll be fairly sure they weren’t out in a tent in the desert in the middle of no where though. It won’t be long though, before they are handed a uniform. Welcome to the French Foreign Legion!

For those who aren't so familiar, the residents of the mansion are now in what appears to be Africa, right smack in the middle of an endless desert. Hey, wasn’t there a nice ocean when you first got here? Gardens? A forest? Nope. Just sand, everywhere, except for the tent city that makes up the area where the mansion used to be. It’s really hot during the day, and really cold at night. The tent that was once the dining hall is serving only beans and sardines, out of cans. The vendors have remained, though they seem to be running something of a black market. Bullets will be going off in the middle of the night, and your character will quickly learn that a cry of "aux armes!" is meant to warn them to their feet.

Now, what about the characters that don’t fall into “most”? Why, who do you think is passing out these uniforms and calling "aux armes"? Any character with a military background (or magical army background, or what have you, you strange fandoms), if the mun so chooses, can be an established French Foreign Legion member. Ranks will roughly correspond to whatever rank the character had back home. No magic though, their weapons are sabers and WWI-era rifles. Their jobs will vary from passing out uniforms, to instruct new recruits, to prevent anyone from escaping. Oh, did we forget that part? If your character decides they don’t like the Legion and try to take off into the desert, not only are they not going to get far at all, but they’ll be perused by members of the Legion. Disobedience of any kind is harsh and brutal, but at least you’re not in with the third group of characters. That would be with the prisoners of war, which is where any character who’s fought against the French Foreign Legion will be held. This might also apply to some other military characters (like if you feel it would be really out of character for them to be in another army instead of their own). Both of these (established Legion members and POWs) are optional though – you’re just as welcome to make our character a brand new recruit.

So, to recap: your character is either a) a brand new recruit b) an established Legion member or c) a POW for a few days, and no one has magic powers.

Prompt B: Lighter Event

Characters will suddenly find themselves ten years older or younger. This can be physically, mentally, or both, i.e., if your character is 20 years old right now, they may become 10 physically but still have the mind and memories of their 20-year-old self, or they may revert to the mentality of their 10-year-old self and lose all the memories they have of being older. If you age your character up and there is no canon for them ten years in the future, they may just look and/or act older, but not have new memories.

For characters over 200 years old: you may choose to age your character by a century, as ten years isn't that long for them.

Prompt C: ediS rorriM

For this prompt, the White Queen has lowered the barrier between real and mirror side in the hopes both sides will be able to mingle peacefully. Have your reals explore the mirror side and interact with other mirrors, or have the mirrors cross over to the real side and explore. This is your chance to test out your mirror’s voice with no limitations!

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.
