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.

Doesn't mean you can't come to me, though.

[Jokes aside, if he does show up there, maybe it is in his best interest to be at least a little aware of who he's potentially trapped in with, if this thing has a really bad sense of humor.]
no subject
A joke would make it too obvious that he's ducking the question. ]
Killing a guy who killed a kid. If you can avoid that, you're safe.
no subject
Then again, they put him in alone for a reason.
Well, whatever it is, he decides he can handle it when the time comes. He looks off to the side at where he has the uniform rumpled up.]
Guess I'll be there as fast as this thing lets me.
[It doesn't take long for him to try, given the only thing he needs to bring is within arm's reach.]
no subject
There's no block on Ash's side, at least not for people going in. For a moment, as he watches the figure appear, Ash debates dragging him in a bit deeper, sending him to a certain doctor's office, but there's not enough trust there. They've just met.
He's dressed in the overly-large uniform still having decided it was better than sitting around naked. ]
Welcome to prison.
no subject
[For his part, Sen had the luxury of being at home: he could arrive fully dressed, with the slightly stretched uniform in hand.
As much as he never wanted to be in prison, he wanted to be naked with another man in a cell even less... which might make him one of only two men in the entire pen who wouldn't jump at that chance with Ash, but that's another matter.]
Kinda surprised you didn't ask for me to bring food or something. Isn't it famously bad in places like this?
no subject
You can find better food laying on the streets, but you can swallow it down. Turn around.
no subject
What, you're shy?
[Sen can't imagine why a person wouldn't be used to changing in front of other guys in prison. With his mocking tone and the challenging leer, it might even seem like he's bating him to either bite the bullet and risk putting on a little strip and change show, or giving him that fight after all.
He's not. For one thing, he's not that smart; not enough to trick someone into a fight, not enough to even think why a prettyboy in prison might have his guard up.]
no subject
So much I could cry.
[ The sarcasm is clear in his voice, and his face is completely neutral. ]
There are enough perverts here, we don't need another one. Turn around.
no subject
[His finger reaches out to poke at that perfectly neutral face.]
You are probably the closest thing to a pretty girl's face anyone in here's seen in a while.
no subject
Casually, he knocks the hand away and sighs. ]
You really got nothing better to do? It's a school uniform. You should have a bell to beat or something.

And here I was looking forward to what kinda irezumi a guy named Faulkner would have.
[The name of the prison is on the uniform; he took it for a name tag.]
no subject
You think that's how it works? We walk around with name tags, get to know each other? If I see the namesake, I'll ask him, but you're standing in Faulkner, not looking at him.
