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.

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!

[getstoned]

then why are you making spidery excuses to not go to church??

that's very sus

also i'm pretty sure we're not even in the same area for me to do any shit like what you're insinuating

[grilletto]

it's a legitimate concern
not a spidery excuse

[getstoned]

so you're trying to say that i'm the spyder
and i'm somehow in your area
filling up your local church with spiderwebs

spidery excuse

[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.

[getstoned]

nah it's cool, totally cool

i mean, who hasn't done a crime amiright? i have to try and break out of prison to kill a priest by the next new moon

[grilletto]

HOW THE HELL AM I THE ONE THAT NEEDS TO GO TO CHURCH?????

[getstoned]

because you looked into the spider baby and the spider baby looked back

besides the priest tried to kill me and my dad first, so i'm pretty sure i'm on the right side here js

[grilletto]

i didn't ask to look into the spider baby
and i definitely didn't try to kill the spider baby

but also sorry about you and your dad i guess
not all priests are good
that sucks

[getstoned]

yeah it's like whatever now

now i just have to kill him
there's no way around it
i hesitated with the green baby so this is my duty now



but regardless
you still looked into the spider baby
you're doomed now



unless you go to church

[digiorno]

hm.

i'm not going to question that, but you probably shouldn't go into any churches either, that seems bursting-into-flame-worthy. killing the priest, not breaking out of prison.

[getstoned]

he totally deserves it tho

because he's trying to do some crazy shit to reset the world
and i'm pretty sure he fucked a vampire


like i don't have any proof
but i totally believe it

[digiorno]

i wasn't doubting you or judging but oh my god??

what???

[getstoned]

yeah right? like what the fuck my guy
like he framed me for murder to get to my dad to steal his memories
to learn about what the vampire wrote about like resetting the world

also he's tried to kill me like several times in prison
what a dick

[grilletto]

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

[digiorno]

why are you so afraid of going to church all of a sudden?

[grilletto]

i’m not, i’m not!
just hear me out
what if this is the spider baby
and the spider baby doesn’t have anything to do with jesus at all??

[digiorno]

wh

you think she's the spider baby who's been haunting your dreams?

based on what???

[grilletto]

it’s just a hunch
what if taking me to church is just
i don’t know
a set up or something
what if i go in and there’s just webs everywhere ??
she’s trying to tell me i’m a spider spy
but i’m pretty sure it’s her

[digiorno]

first of all you're both missing the opportunity for "spyder"

second of all, do you really think the church would be that vulnerable to spider influence?
