TDM The First

[lethevale_mods]

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...

"Oh? It sounds fun, I'll have to come when it's ready!" Masumi accepted the ticket, her curiosity drawn by the claims of what would be there. And well, if she was going to be in the area maybe it would be worth making use of the ticket to go.

And well, maybe she needed the distraction. Masumi had been quite focused on her primary goal of locating her missing family members, and could easily use the opportunity to relax and check out the circus. Even if she wasn't exactly the easy customer Jack would expect, in that she had no family in town to bring, was perhaps a bit unlikely to blow all her money on carnival games, and was way too curious for her own good, she was at least one who would certainly come and look around.

"So, when do you think it'll be open?" Any worries were covered up by her eagerness about the circus. "The poster said it's coming soon, but doesn't say when..."
