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.

[ Do servants even still celebrate their birthdays when they're dead now? He's never heard any of the servants talk about having birthday parties. But then he's heard mages are mostly not very nice people, so they might just be used to their masters not wanting to celebrate their birthday. ]
no subject
But you have a plan to save Christmas!
no subject
[ To be honest, if anyone in Chaldea would be up for a birthday celebration it would be Elizabeth, if only for more opportunities for people to lavish attention on her. He didn't know if she'd go for using a musical instrument instead of singing, but at this point he was willing to try anything. ]
no subject
Are you one of those super rich people with butlers and stuff? Can't you just tell your servants what to do?
no subject
No. I mean I am their master, but it's not really quite like that. "Servants" in my world are a name for spirits of legendary heroes and historical figures who've been summoned by a mage to help them fight in something called the Holy Grail War. But even though I'm their master, that doesn't mean I can just order them around however I want. Especially since I'm a pretty crappy mage anyway. Most them can still kick my ass if I piss them off.
Elizabeth is kind of a vampire for example.
no subject
It's several minutes before he can come up with any kind of conclusion to that.]
You're making fun of me.
[Sure, he has objective proof of a magical community, there's no reason he shouldn't believe any of it. But that's got to be the joke here: see how much he can get some idiot to believe once he's this far in. Otherwise he'll have to try and make sense of that.]
no subject
It's okay. I don't blame you for not really believing me. I'm new to all this myself and sometimes it still doesn't feel totally real to me either. Even though it's been about a year now.
... I guess that's kind of the other reason why I don't really order them around that much. I wasn't really raised as a mage and barely have any training so I just don't feel comfortable telling them what to do outside of combat.

[ He still pauses to consider this before answering ]
Huh, I guess I do seem pretty calm about this. I think I've just always been pretty quick to adapt to new situations.
no subject
[Not that he's fully buying that he's not being made the butt of a joke yet.]

Still haven't decided if you're full of it. But its good you're not just telling her not to sing even though you probably could.
[It doesn't sound like he went mad with power, at least.]
Better she's sucking at singing than sucking blood.
