test drive meme #1.
Hello, passengers and potential passengers!! Welcome to the first-ever eyemind Test Drive Meme. Here you have a chance to play around in the game's setting before deciding to app, test out new characters, or just roll around and have some fun. Enjoy!
No invite is necessary to play in the test drive, but please remember thateyemind is a (semi)private game and you must request an invitation before submitting an application. Request an invitation here!
Please note: Threads from the test drive meme DO NOT count toward AC and ARE NOT considered game canon, but you are welcome to use them for your app samples.
SCENARIO ONE: LIGHT UP THE NIGHT
The ship has stopped on Arion, near the settlement of Taunican, at the height of harvest season, and since the planet is largely agricultural, that means there is a big harvest festival a-happening.
What's neat about this festival is that it's not just a celebration of the harvest - it's a celebration of the community, and of the planet as a whole. The dominant local religion (for lack of a better term) isn't exactly experienced in term of worship but of honoring the planet itself - the seasons, the landscapes, the crops. Natives talk of Arion as if it is a living, breathing entity, because for them? Arion is.
Every evening while the ship is docked, there is a bonfire in the fields outside the town square, starting at dusk. There's a giant potluck feast, with everyone in attendance encouraged to bring dishes to share, but no one will be turned away if they arrive empty-handed. Fiddles and flutes and drums provide the soundtrack for the folk songs about Arion the locals sing around the fire; dancing and games and laughter are everywhere. This is a peaceful, joyous celebration, and you're invited!
SCENARIO TWO: WE NEED TO GO DEEPER
You're asleep, but maybe you don't know that - in the middle of a dream, it's not always easy to tell the difference between reality and the scenes your subconscious creates. You find yourself somewhere that may or may not be familiar, doing something that may be mundane or fantastical, but you're not alone. This is a dream you're sharing with your shipmates. What secrets and truths will you learn about each other?
SCENARIO THREE: STOP HITTING YOURSELF
Ope, looks like Navi’s wandered a little too close to an interdimensional rift in space-time, and now things are getting a little weird. If you happen to have superpowers, you may find that you don’t have quite as good of a hold on them as you do normally, or maybe now there are unintended side effects that occur when your powers are used. Maybe your character usually possesses enhanced strength or speed, and now they suddenly find themselves too swol to handle ordinary objects without crushing them, or they may have uncontrollable zooms and be physically unable to slow their roll.
No superpowers? No problem! Non-powered characters may find themselves deprived of one or more of their natural senses, i.e., sight, hearing, smell, taste, etc. Have fun being suddenly and temporarily blind! Walk into walls, eat trash, be free.

"True, but at least I'm not mimicking a pin-ball machine. Much rather a leaky fridge." Because the slipping hazard is especially hazardous for Mammon right now which is even better.
no subject
"Dammit! When I get over there I'm hittin' ya!"
no subject
"If you don't overshoot."
He mocks lightly. Finally it's his turn to give Mammon a hard time!
no subject
Until he gets to the ice and balance abandons him. He scrambles for purchase, arms out to the side, unable to stop pitching forward. As a last-ditch effort he switches to demon form and spreads his wings, but even they don't stop him faceplanting onto the wet ice.
Great. Now he's humiliated, bruised, wet, cold, and bare-chested.
"If you laugh I'm gonna bite your whole head off."
no subject
Speaking of amusing, Mammon's demand not to laugh fell on deaf ears, for as soon as he hit the ground Murmur was howling with laughter. Poor Mammon, no dignity for him this day.
"You'll have to catch me first!" He crowed, skating back on his own ice juuuust out of reach to make good and sure Mammon couldn't attempt to make good on his threat.
no subject
Not for the first time on board, Mammon wishes his sin afforded him a little more cruelty. Greed doesn't give him an upper hand against Murmur the way wrath might, and for once his speed is working against him. Even his threats aren't helping.
But he does still have wings.
As Murmur laughs Mammon carefully picks himself up, unsteadily getting to his feet. He flexes his wings, glares at the angel, and launches himself forward -- oblivious to the fact that his heightened speed doesn't give him enough time to adjust his trajectory.
no subject
Murmur was too caught up in laughing at the absurdity of Mammon scrambling around on the ice to attempt to dodge. Fortunate he's more durable than he expects, as a suddenly flying Mammon could have had disastrous results! Murmur had just enough time to try to bring out his wings to shield himself, unsuccessfully, and instead got mowed down into a pile of laughing feathers instead.
He's just going to flap and flail in an attempt to break free before Mammon actually gets a chance to try to take a bite.
no subject
Hence his tackling Murmur, which sends them both hurtling back against the nearest wall. Mammon finds his shoulder lodged against the angel's midsection and his feathers battering his head. He wraps his arms around Murmur's waist and flaps his own wings in an attempt to hit.
"Still think this is funny?"
no subject
Unfortunate for Mammon he forgot one little detail: The current status of leaky refrigerator. Upon contact that uncontrolled ice would seek to spread unbidden from Murmur, hope you like being frosty Mammon! It wasn't like Murmur could exactly wrestle himself free, Mammon definitely out performed him in the strength department.
"Still pretty funny!" He insisted, using his own wings to keep Mammon's claws from scratching him up too badly.
no subject
"Hey! Cut it out!" He tries to pull back but his arms won't release. "I'm not kiddin', knock it off!"
no subject
"You think I'm doing this on purpose!?" As if he'd want a smelly demon stuck to him!
no subject
"Ya can't turn up the heat?!" he snaps, twisting to press his feet against the wall. "Stop wigglin', let me handle this!" And if possible he's going to kick them both away from the wall, in the general direction of any source of water they can douse themselves with.
no subject
"Where are you trying to take us?" Because if Mammon were going to continue being enough of an idiot to drag them around he wouldn't doubt the pool might be their destination... which would just stick them both in a block of ice. Granted Murmur could just evacuate his vessel, but then he ran the risk of just straight up obliterating Navi and thus everyone on the ship and he didn't really want to do that.
no subject
He wasn't thinking about the pool, not out of concern for them both freezing but because he doesn't want to be any colder than he has to be. If he can just skid them into a bathroom, a hot shower will take care of it.
no subject
Of course not. Mammon has the foresight of a brick wall. Eventually Murmur sighed and tucked his wings in, bracing for Mammon to make their lives even worse in the near future. He wasn't going to get rid of them entirely, still needed to try to balance out this chaotic mess of... whatever the hell was going on anymore.
no subject
Luckily, Mammon's going to end up getting the brunt of this: he's the one who has no way to protect his face, whereas Murmur can at least duck or brace his legs. A well-placed kick propels them out the doorway and down into the hall, but he aimed them straight forward and now his feet can't get purchase on the fresh ice.
"Push, idiot!"
