d3memes | 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:

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.

I was, indeed, worried, that the fish will take you below the surface at one point.

[He pushes his glasses up.]

I suppose a reward for the valiant battle is in order. [As in yes, he'll cook it tonight.]

You shouldn't bet on a fish over me. I always had it.

[ Maybe not, but Noctis isn't humble in concerns to his fishing. ]

It looks like it might even feed Gladio.

[ Which is more of a playful dig on Gladio than anything. ]

You'll make just the fish? Not going to sneak anything else in?

[ No vegetables, he means. ]

I will not if the fish isn't half your size and you don't require Gladio on the standby.

[They've also ended up in the water countless times, all four of them, trying to drag the fish out.]

It will be a proper feast.

[There's a displeased curl in corner of Ignis' lips and he looks ready to fight him on this.]

I will not add anything to the fish. I will make a potato salad and put lemon slices next to it. You can ignore it, I suppose.

[Very displeased.]

Things are heavier when they're fighting, but you saw who won.

[ Noctis is proud of his catch. ]

If it wasn't fish, it'd probably have to be something bigger. Even a fish this size is easier to cut up than a Behemoth.

That I did. Job well done, Noct.

[As he should be. Ignis will be very happy to prepare it for dinner. Even... if Noct dodges all the vegetables. He kind of hopes he'll poke at potato salad though.]

Behemoth, however, provides nice pieces of steak. I think they both have their advantages.

What I somewhat dislike are the snake shanks. [Midgardsormr.] It takes a lot of time to prepare it decently, and we don't have it.

Yeah, if they're not done well, they're really chewy. That's not the kind of thing I want to chew.

[ Ignis, of course, does it well. ]

Is the campsite ready? I'll drag it up

[He almost opens his mouth to ask but then refrains.]

Yes, everything is ready, my knives are as sharp as ever to slice it up.

You ought to help with firewood, once you bring the fish here.

[He's not letting you laze around and snooze.]

Catching the fish isn't enough?

[ His hobby that he loves doesn't take the place of work? ]

Besides, Gladio's going to grab some wood. He's off with Prompto now, looking for some good shots before dinner.

[Don't be lazy Noct.]

Well, if you don't want to help them, you can always help me with the fish.

It is your catch, after all. And we can talk some more.

[Cook dinner with him.]

[ They're already gone, Ignis... ]

I guess so.

[ Noctis can handle fish. He's had part time jobs handling them, even. ]

Give me 10.

[You can easily catch up with them with few warps if you really wanted to, Noct.]

Wonderful. I am waiting for you.

[And having a cup of coffee while he does it, by the campfire.]

[ That would require he pay attention where they went. He had his fish.

Noctis shows up as promised. ]

Hey.

[ Grinning, he places the fish down by the fire. ]

It's even bigger in person. They're not back yet?
