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...

Marie was still laughing, even as Ib hurried off and then returned. Though, once the girl was close enough, the mutt jumped off her, its nose sticking straight up and sniffing the air like it had gotten a whiff of whatever was in the bowl.

She was fairly sure that nothing was broken. Bruised was another story. But, mostly, her ego was just battered from shrieking over a friendly neighborhood dog.

Though judging from the woof it gives Ib before ravenously diving into the bowl, no one's been feeding the poor thing.

Managing to get herself off the ground, Marie worked on brushing herself off and shaking her skirts out so she looked a little less of a complete mess. "It seems like you made a new friend." It didn't occur to her that having an extra mouth to feed might be an issue; it simply wasn't the type of thing she worried about.

Ib backs up a little to let the dog enjoy his meal.

"Poor thing must be awfully hungry. I wonder if he belongs to anyone..."

She hates to think of any animal wandering around hungry, but she knows they can't keep him either. She knows that because she's tried to adopt strays before. The animal trainer gave her quite a lecture that day about how much animals cost to feed.
