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.

It's not that easy. Once it starts I just --
[And it naturally hits with her next words. They might actually kind of sound nice if her voice wasn't that same even monotone it always is.]
-- can't fight this feeling anymore~.
[A mighty scrunching of her brow follows.]
no subject
What the fuck?
no subject
That wasn't what I meant. What I meant was --
[And then another melodic syllable that she instantly cuts off by snapping her jaw shut.
By the way Rachel is pressing her lips together in a line it's sort of obvious she's trying not to speak here lest she burst into more eighties melodies. So she turns more fully to Zack, her brows still scrunched and--
Gestures. Broadly, even. Because how the hell else is she supposed to communicate without words?]
no subject
Zack's really at a loss here, vague gestures notwithstanding. He stares at her for a good minute or so before turning his attention to the camera. ]
Hey! What the hell is going on with my friend?!
no subject
Hm. The message is done so she can at least fiddle with her phone now to make this whole thing easier without bursting into song every few minutes. She does just that, picking up the device and flipping through things like she's had the thing more than five minutes here.
Once she's done the phone chirps out in it's oh-so soothing robotic tone:]
Friends?
[She's giving him a curious, head tilted look.]
