Test Drive - October/November
![]() |
You wake up... in your bed or wherever you went to sleep because your character is exactly where you left them. A revival of the classic LJ/DW game DramaDramaDuck (DDD), D3 is an attempt to capture the spirit of the classic with some adjustments. The name, and the names of many parts of the game, pays homage to the original while allowing it to be something different as I'm not a founder of the original. I just had fun there and thought it sounded fun now.
An Open Lid game, as opposed to a JamJar; your characters remain in their canon worlds and timelines but can access a magical network to connect to other canon's universes. You, with the help of your castmates should you have them, decide how they experience shape your remaining canon, even if it means nothing changes at all.
Welcome to the D3 test drive. Prompts are sparse because this is the game where you make the story. Some optional suggestions are:
A. Hit by an infection
Like it says on the label. Your character has been hit by one of the monthly infections that take place on the network. This particular infection shouldn't alter the personality too much if you're planning to use it as a sample. For more information on infections, read the faq found here.B. Canon update
Something happen at home you want to share? Or don't want to share, but the network is showing anyway?C. A call to arms
Trouble is brewing, and you need help? You have worlds full of superheroes to ask for help. That doesn't always mean they can reach you...That's the down and dirty. Not quite as fancy as you're used to seeing, huh? D3 is a simple game. Or it's not. It's up to you, the player, to make your experience. There will also be a log community so you can do face-to-face meet ups, and anyone can go off-world this time.
To perhaps capture the group game feeling that differentiates D3 from memes, consider noting whether you're open to threadjacks with a subject line like so:
Character | Canon | Open/Not Open to threadjack
We recommend you read the following to help you along:
Reserves will open for the first time on October 1st and apps will follow October 7th. After they open, they'll remain open instead of having cycles.
akira kurusu (joker) | persona 5 | threadjack me babey
i. video (as akira)
ii. i've a feeling we're not in the shibuya anymore, (as joker)
iii. wildcard!

I was going to ask how you've never brewed tea before but I'm more confused by how there is no coffee in Leblanc.
no subject
[ he can only answer one of these: ]
My parents did it. Would you believe I was never really into tea?
[ or coffee, for that matter. funny how times have changed. ]
no subject
[The confusion ebbs and a smile forms in it's place. It's just amusing to think about Akira never made tea before in his life it's sort of weird.]
Is the shop open to customers? I can bring my teapot if you need it.
no subject
[ surprise...just because akira's cultivated a certain image as a ringleader, a gentleman thief, there's plenty of things he isn't good at. or that he knows how to do from start to finish. ]
That'd be great. I tried using the siphons here, but...
[ he gestures just out of frame. it turns out there's tea in those, not coffee, but it tastes burnt somehow, incredibly unpalatable. where he went wrong is anyone's guess. ]
no subject
Akira... no. It turned out terrible didn't it?
[There is so much sighing here. That was a terrible idea.]
I'll be there shortly with the teapot. We can't let you keep ruining tea I feel like someone would never forgive us.
no subject
It's— [ his voice falters. because of the video encoder, that's it. ] —drinkable...
[ it's not drinkable. he knows enough to understand this isn't what tea is supposed to be. no one would let him serve this, nor is anyone here, which means they've got plenty of time to perfect this before the boss storms back in demanding an explanation. ]
Shh. It'll be our secret.
[ that and everyone else who's currently watching their feeds. details, details. ]
no subject
[She shakes her head.]
If you say so. Please hide the evidence of making bad tea before someone walks in. I think boss would be very unhappy to find out you abused the siphons so badly.
no subject
Oh, no. Did I commit tea crimes?
[ he spares a glance towards one of the siphons again. when they phrase it like that, it's...more or less what's happened. ]
I'll be careful.
[ he'll pour it down the drain. no one has to know. ]
no subject
[She will always be here to speak the truth. And stop him from doing something completely stupid like rushing into palaces without thinking it all the way through or making bad tea more than once.]
You should. There are people in the world that would hold it against you. Lucky for you I'm not one of them.
