TDM The First



You probably know how this works, but just in case, here's the idea:
  1. You put the name of the character you're testing out in the subject line
  2. You write a starter (or several!) in the comment, with the Lethevale AU of your character.
  3. People respond with their characters. Threads occur. Friendships are made. The world is put to rights.
  4. None of the threads in the Test Drive are game-canon.

Here are some prompts to start you off!


1. Seeking Shelter
You were riding along the mountain road when your horse, terrified by some dark shadow you couldn't see clearly, screamed and bolted, throwing you. Now you're caught in the middle of nowhere, in Lethe Wood, and the rain is getting heavier by the minute.

But what's that? A light? A house? Perhaps if you knock, they'll give you a bed for the night. It'll all look better in the morning...

 
 
2. The Beast! The Terrible Beast!
You took all the precautions. You carried a lantern, kept to the safer streets. Or maybe you didn't. Either way, you were attacked by something as big as a horse, with gleaming white teeth and a hideous howl.

When you run into another person, will you warn them? Will you ask them for a hiding place, or stand and fight? If all else fails, maybe you can use them as live bait...

 
3. Eat, Drink, and Be Merry
Lethevale isn't all monsters and storms. Mostly, but not all. Tonight, there's a party in the Black Swan - dancing, music, and of course, an open bar. Take the chance to get to know your neighbours, why don't you?


4. Pay No Attention To The Passage Behind The Curtain
The two of you were just wandering around Lethe Hall, when you leant on a candlestick, and... what's this? The bookshelf's opened? There's a hole in the wall now, and a spiral staircase leading down into the dark. You know, it's probably best to just leave well enough alone - but you have to admit, it's curious...

"One—two—three!"

The table slams into the door moments before there's an impact from without.

"Jesus, that was close. What the fuck was that?" he asks, leaning on the wall and wiping his brow.

"Damned if I know."

The thing slams into the door again, growling, but the improvised blockade holds.

"It looked bigger than a cart-horse. I've seen odd things in this place, but that was by far the most unpleasant."

"Bigger and nastier," he says, "the last time I saw something that large, I was in India."

"Africa for me," Fitzjames says. He looks the other man over, his gaze pausing for a moment on the tattoo, which he then dismisses with a mental shrug. "Were you a military man as well?"

"Yes, Army," he says, "42nd Regiment of Foot."

He notices the look, but more or less ignores it. He knows the tattoo catches people off guard. That's one of the reasons why he got it.
