Test Drive - October/November

[d3mods]

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:

FAQ → Rules → Reserves → Taken
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.

what?

[digiorno]

well, think about it. i'm no expert but there's plenty of evidence. the christ child is a thing. the spider baby was able to communicate with you without speaking. it had a powerful aura. it's clearly affected you deeply. maybe its anger with you was because it omnipotently knew you'd done something wrong.

have you done anything to anger jesus lately?

[grilletto]

no???
i mean i don't think so
maybe
define lately?
the only thing i can think of is the guy i kicked the other day
but it was only once or twice or six times i'm not sure
and in my defense he was trying to take someone's gelato
that someone wasn't me though
just to clarify

[digiorno]

"lately" as in the last week, i think. jesus probably isn't actively keeping track of your entire life at all times.

that's a public service, especially if the gelato wasn't dropped in the process. you're fine there. have you kicked anyone else? or shot anyone else. for non-altruistic reasons, just to clarify.

[grilletto]

shit do you think it's because i dropped it?
buying her a new one should have cancelled that out, right?
because i did

there was another one i think but i didn't actually do anything
all i was doing was trying to make sure he knew i had a gun
you can't just talk shit about karen carpenter and get away with it
i think jesus would be more upset about that than the gun
she's a damn treasure

[digiorno]

you dropped it? hm.
well it should still be fine with a replacement, i really don't think that's it.

jesus would probably take offense on a personal level. carpentry is significant to him, considering his father. (the other one.) so that's probably not it either.

let's take a different approach, have you neglected any duties you were supposed to do recently?

[getstoned]

maybe you should take him to church just to be sure

it never hurts to be safe

[digiorno]

i would, but i'd catch fire.

[getstoned]

we wouldn't want that

just take him like outside the church and make him go inside on his own

[grilletto]

I DON'T NEED SOMEONE TO TAKE ME TO CHURCH
I KNOW HOW TO GET THERE MYSELF

[getstoned]

you should respect this kind person who is trying to help you

by allowing him to make sure you go to church

[grilletto]

hey, don't try to turn this around like that!
you don't have any idea how much i respect him!

[digiorno]

that sounds like a chore, but you're right, i really should. an authority should deal with this if we want it resolved.

[getstoned]

it's true, it's better to be safe than sorry


also quick question
are you like a vampire or???

[digiorno]

not as far as i know. it was more a joke at my own expense, because of the unchristian things i do. crimes etc.

[grilletto]

giorno seriously
you don’t even know this person
but you know me, right?
come on
don’t do this please

[grilletto]

i forgot to buy more vegetables for the turtle
but i swear i still sent someone else to get them
i may or may not have accused someone of being a witch too
but i thought she put a curse on me so it was valid

[getstoned]

we found it

jesus is mad because he's got full respect for women

[grilletto]

I APOLOGISED, HOLY SHIT

[getstoned]

but did you do your hail marys?

because it sounds like you didn't

[grilletto]

you’re the one trying to kill a priest
don’t you try to tell me how to live my life

[digiorno]

that turtle counts on you, mista.

i think i'm starting to understand why jesus is upset.

[grilletto]

i gave him double lettuce to make up for it though

[digiorno]

i'm hearing a lot of errors followed by corrections. maybe baby spider baby jesus is trying to draw your attention to that pattern and encourage you to do your best the first time.

[grilletto]

yeah but why not just say it, you know?
just tell me
hey
you messed up again don’t do that
