MARCH/APR TEST DRIVE
MARCH TEST DRIVE
[ SEE GAME NAVIGATION TO READ UP ON HECK GAME BEFORE PLAYING IF YOU SO DESIRE ]
[CHECK OUT MORE ABOUT THESE LOCATIONS HERE]
A.SPRING FLOWERS INTRO - GARDEN
[Things are starting to warm up in the garden! Slowly and gently, things have begun to defrost. The saturated pink flowers from February have given way to gentle speckles of clover and bright flushes of green, knocking away the winter frost. Daffodils in bright yellow and white greet garden visitors.
Your local cherubs and imps have noticed that getting people to meet each other can be hard. Perhaps people just aren't as social in the worlds they come from! Surely, everyone's just too frozen stiff from the winter weather to break the ice!
Not to worry. They've got a solution! Visitors to the Garden this month will find a nametag affixed to their clothing again, but this time the nametag is here to do the work for you. When another person approaches or even just passes by, the nametag happily speaks up and describes a fun, short fact about its wearer!
Most of these facts are correct… but there's no telling whether or not they're anything you actually want to share. After all, it's not like the cherubs— or the nametags— asked.
B. IN LIKE A LION - PRIDE RING
It's Game Day in the Pride Ring— which is every day, of course. If you've taken the elevator down to floor one today you're inevitably swept up in the crowds, each eager to participate in and cheer for the public Obstacle Course Race.
You're slapped together with a partner and made to wait in line with them as pairs catapult themselves over platforms, jump through rings of fire, climb rocky crags, and swing over pools of steaming water to try and ring a buzzer. Pairs that make it to their destination get a sinful prize— two bottles of a prized hell drink that gives its drinker an ego trip the same way an energy drink would give you a buzz, and a shiny gold-colored badge with their name on it.
The only catch? Both competitors have to make it through to the end for either to receive a prize.
Maybe you're waiting in line, or perhaps you're going through with your partner— or maybe you've just gotta try and book it before anyone catches you. If you won, why not try enjoying that drink together?
C. OUT LIKE A LAMB - HUMILITY RING
[Those who found their way to the peaceful Humility ring are subject to a much less stressful experience. A cherub has organized a small scavenger hunt in hopes of getting folks to explore more of the ring— you know, if they don't mind. It isn't much, but they just hope you'll take advantage of all they have to offer, after all.
The tasks include:
…and other such cozy things. Really, it's a relaxing place to be.
Oddly enough, the place seems a bit more fortunate during the month, too. You might end up getting doubles of anything you obtain in the Humility ring— all the more reason to share with a friend!]
Wildcard
You can come up with whatever posts you like, too, including posts to the network!
OOC NOTES:
-This TDM is open to all! You do NOT need to join the comm to play in it!
-This will be the TDM for March/April, but you're free to use old ones if you prefer, or make your own prompts!
-Already in game? Get accepted during March? Jump into our Feb/March Plotting meme to jumpstart.
-As a reminder, THIRD CHARACTER APPS are now street legal!
-Post questions for the mods here
-Remember, playing in the TDM does NOT guarantee your entry or app being accepted into the game proper later down the line!
-Apps open!! Be sure to read the rules linked there and check the current taken list!
-For current or new potential players: TDMs count as game canon AND threads may be used for AC if you wish! It's optional! You can do a whole thread and then decide it's not canon if you want!
-Remember regardless of your alignment, you are free to travel to whatever level you wish!

It isn't much, but they just hope you'll take advantage of all they have to offer, after all.
The tasks include:
- taking a selfie with someone in a bookshop
- sharing a coffee with a new friend at a coffee shop with an animal on the sign
- trading a handmade gift with a denizen from heaven or hell
- wearing a pair of lion ears
…and other such cozy things. Really, it's a relaxing place to be.

no subject
"That'd be needlessly cruel. As long as a single person loves it..." Well, it can be hard for a person to get by on just a single other's love. Still.
"...how much did it take?" Suddenly following the change of subject.
no subject
"Oh Danza, they got a good sixty five pieces." Catrina goes to fish out the periwinkle colored tamagotchi that's shaped like a coffin. HI DANZA!
"This is my horrible monster, Danza. They like to steal shiny stuff, a lot." Catrina goes to introduce her heinous abomination, upside, they no longer have that dead fish smell anymore.
no subject
"Oh jeez. That's a lotta money." Probably, unless it's cheap fake crap, which sounds unlikely. "Oh. ...hi there Danza."
Runa bows slightly. "It's nice to meet you?"
no subject
"It was like 10k worth of crap that Danza stole and they had like three convictions already. I needed hide that and fast." Catrina admitted, yeah Danza is a little asshole.
"Wallets, Wallets Wa Wa Walllets!" Danza responded, doing that tamagotchi bounce on the screen.
"They're a little over a year old, so Danza is stuck saying wallets till they're fifty or so." Catrina explains as Danza, being a turbo turd right now, starts demanding their tamagotchi feed at once.
no subject
"Fifty... years?" That would be some intense patience.
no subject
"It's gonna be a very shitty fifty years of waiting on Danza and Canto to speak. Estelle is the only one I think is gonna be speaking soon, maybe." You can hear that exhaustion in Catrina's voice as she explains it. Sure her species can live up to five hundred years, but fifty years is a task!
no subject
"Even parrots learn faster than that." Although they don't end up with much vocabulary, right? "And those outlive their owners sometimes too."
no subject
"I wished they could learn to speak faster. It'd make our lives easier that's for sure, though I'm sure Danza would rapidly age my parent with their toilet mouth." Catrina looked at Danza as they munched on digital gremlin food, "I think they do, I mean parrots live like what, One hundred years or something like that?"
no subject
"I guess I won't ever hear them talk normally, though. Or-" she frowned a little. "Maybe I really will just be here for good." She licked her lips. "But yeah! Some really lucky ones anyways."
no subject
"I mean the whole being dead thing is pretty rockin' so far." Catrina grins a bit, then again, this is the afterlife of Cat's morbid dreams.
"Well you might hear Estelle talk this year, she's older than the other two." Catrina added in before catching that frown, "Good news though, you're with good company! Come on, let's get into a bit of mischief here in the garden. I'm sure I can use sound defect on some things here and stir some shit."
no subject
"I've met some pretty cool people. Despite all the discomforts... Hell is full of people who don't judge you. Funny, that." Runa's skepticism about religion has not gone away.
"Ooh! I have to be careful with my - my ability, so I wanna see what you've got."
no subject
"That's awesome to hear, back where I came from, we're a huge mix of species there, so it should be very much like home, well except for demon summoning, don't think I can do that anymore." Catrina wasn't joking either, demon summoning as that was what placed her here...I think Cat was like a heretic of sorts in life.
"Sure thing! So which sound producing thing or creature you wanna see me make sound like a race track?" Catrina no, don't its a bad idea...nevermind this booger is sold on this plan...
no subject
"Mmm. Just about anyone who looks snooty, I think..."
no subject
Catrina scans the area a bit before getting that glint in her eyes upon spotting a Karen in the wild blue yonder of the garden complaining about getting sent to Hell and demanding to see Hell's manager, "I got a good one in sight!"
no subject
"I'll leave you in charge of the fun, if all you need is moral support."
no subject
With that horrible gremlin looking grin that would put a shark's teeth to shame, Catrina goes to discreetly point at the Karen who now sounds like a car horn being honked.
"Here we go, an improvement." Catrina snickered as she admired that dreadful handiwork.
no subject
But they've got something to do.
...Catrina has something to do while Runa hides back behind and laughs.
no subject
It took Catrina's thinking goop to process that Karen had very much started throwing the mother of all tantrums and is looking for the culprit to her sudden traffic jam voice.
Yep, good time to run Catrina...RUN YOU BLUE MONSTER, RUN!
