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.

and like it's not like i've never kissed a boy before it was just nbd high school stuff. teenagers kiss all kinds of people!!
let's just say it would be a lot less confusing if he were a she
pretty sure violet eyes would just look weird on me tho that wouldn't help
[ooc: IT'S COOL I'M CANON FAMILIAR go right ahead (though Alex is going to be very confused)]
no subject
you're uncivilized. I forgot that you do that whole... dividing people into genders thing. she, he, whatever.
it doesn't matter, just give her a good fuck if that's what you want. or don't. unless there are political concerns that you need to worry about. getting entangled with another House's politics can be so frustrating.
they look strange on everyone that's why only baby lieutenants with their own spending money do that sort of thing.
and that still doesn't answer my question.
[ Sadly, the question that Seivarden asked quite earnestly has been taken as rhetorical, it seems. ]
no subject
[Which is enough, at least, for Alex to make the connection with what this person's saying.]
Oh wait were you seriously asking what straight is?? I guess you would be if you don't have a gender concept. Where I'm from straight is when you like people who are a different gender from you, and it's what most people are. Or at least what we assume most people are. Not gonna comment on that uncivilized part cause wow judgy. some people like having genders okay
there might be a few political concerns
[Considering Alex's mom is president of the US and Henry's grandma is Queen of England. Hahaha what the fuck is Alex's life even he needs to go scream into a pillow.]
so like does everyone use she pronouns??? is that what i should use for you?? sorry i've never met someone from a genderless culture before i don't want to fuck it up
no subject
And it's nothing personal against you, I promise. It's just that you're not Radchaai. If you're not Radchaai, you're not civilized. That's just the way of things, really.
Yes, everyone is referred to as 'she' in the Radch. You can refer to me as you like, I understand that your language and culture likely have some limitations in that regard.
no subject
we have nonbinary people too you know. they mostly use they/them or xe/xer or whatever. and it's kind of a big deal to use those pronouns?? like great if you really don't care but don't not care cause you don't think i'm capable. just cause i'm not used to it doesn't mean i can't LEARN
no subject
Really, now, it's not meant to be rude it's just the fact of the matter that if you're not a citizen, you're not Radchaai. If you're not Radchaai, you're not civilized. It's not that hard a concept.
no subject
just a wild out there guess do your people conquer other people and force them to become radchaai cause that’s some colonizationy bullshit
no subject
no subject
you don’t get off the hook just cause you apparently have neat gender politics
no subject
no subject
that’s ok there’s no way you can know what it means to be updog
RIP Seivarden
