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:

zenryokubatankyu: world health organization apparently "too busy" to look at my idea for a backwards hospital gown that covers only the ass (Trying my blood it's just a starter)

...aaaaaaaaalright my dude my guy this is a lot but i am looking up a dream meanings website right now

a spider in dreams means manipulation apparently
and babies represent innocence and warmth

are you being like, bossed around by a child
a boss baby
smth
grilletto: (♜and i kill ‘em all♜)

[personal profile] grilletto 2020-09-28 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
a boss baby?
dude look, it's a dream and i'm pretty sure there's not really a root in reality
besides babies can't be bosses either since...they talk about as much as spiders do

well, i guess they scream more
but the point is that my answer is no
zenryokubatankyu: people have been printing lots of swears on hot sauce labels as of late (Gimmie some sort of sign)

[personal profile] zenryokubatankyu 2020-09-28 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
that's what the dream meaning sites said!
and babies can absolutely be bosses. being bosses is like, all babies do. if a baby wants something you do it. they are the biggest bosses.

hmmmmmmm
like, it's either a deep trip into your soul or you ate some weird shit and you tripped out. either or is likely maybe
grilletto: (♜my arms and legs♜)

[personal profile] grilletto 2020-09-28 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
yeah okay fair
because someone has to change the diapers and feed them right?
they're probably just as bossy as cats or something
but even they can tell you stuff better than a spider baby

wait are you trying to tell me there's something wrong with my soul?
zenryokubatankyu: apparently shirtless people are interacting with me on this site. please put on a tasteful button-down top if you want to fav or retweet me. (And being blue is better)

[personal profile] zenryokubatankyu 2020-09-28 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
exactly
and my little brother keeps like, 20 alley cats so i'd know by extension
one time i met a cat that literally could tell you stuff but he just spilled all your bullshit secrets so there's my perspective on that

i dunno my man there might be
you checked your chi being in all line lately???
i'm not an expert but i am tossing out guesses
grilletto: (♜hey what's with the strange breed♜)

[personal profile] grilletto 2020-09-28 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
so i don't know anything about checking my chi

but hold on let me back up here a second
a talking cat?!
and who the hell keeps like 20 cats?
is your brother okay?
zenryokubatankyu: the most important thing to realize for a safe and healthy labor day is that lizardmen are hiding in the trash, in graves, and in coffins (Shouldn't be with ya)

[personal profile] zenryokubatankyu 2020-09-28 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
well then we gotta look that up too

mhm!
and uh
no.
no he is probably not.
not by a long shot.

the talking cat is a long story but to abridge it he wanted to talk to cats in cat language, but the shot hit the cat instead. so the cat got ESP. it was kinda funny but ichi got super sensitive about it at one point...he's troubled and lonely.
as his big bro i'm concerned but he's not gonna change
grilletto: (♜take my face♜)

[personal profile] grilletto 2020-09-28 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
okay so
somehow i'm a hell of a lot more worried about all of that than i am about the spider baby dream
what the shit
zenryokubatankyu: ive never heard of this "europe" but it sounds like a big bunch of shit to me (Lookin' at my history)

[personal profile] zenryokubatankyu 2020-09-28 07:13 am (UTC)(link)
ichi is someone who people tend to worry about, yeah
you'd probably be concerned over everyone in my family if i just up and explained who they are
probably even me
it's just that way
life is just be that way so i take it as it is, seems to be that way for a lotta people
grilletto: (♜the sight (of it all)♜)

[personal profile] grilletto 2020-09-28 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
okay yeah some people have weird families, that seems pretty standard
a cat with esp is definitely not...
or i guess shooting a cat and giving it esp isn't
you shoot a cat and that's it
game over
zenryokubatankyu: need to gain. concerned of my big boy status. dream of becoming Army Strong by the age of 35. rip me open another bag of tiny marshmellows (really be the one this time)

[personal profile] zenryokubatankyu 2020-09-28 07:30 am (UTC)(link)
oh not with like, a gun
with a doctor shot, y'know, with a needle?
it hit it in the butt.
injected it with power.
i dunno what it woulda really done if ichi'd gotten it, though...


[He's kinda curious.
But at the same time.
Ass shots. Owwie.]
grilletto: (♜or what remains♜)

[personal profile] grilletto 2020-09-28 07:49 am (UTC)(link)
he injected a cat with esp?
please tell me you're shitting me right now
