April Test Drive Meme
Test Drive Meme
A quick rundown
Welcome to the S.S. Panic's Test Drive Meme! Here, you can post a top level post and/or respond to other characters in a variety of situations! As you will find if you glance at the map, the ship is a spider-shaped city that is essentially self-sustaining. It's powered by the Infinite Improbability Drive, which when in use allows for the improbable (and impossible!) to happen and become, well, possible!
Below, you will find an example of what a typical monthly job post will look like. To encourage tagging each other, characters who apply to the game after this test drive meme will earn 100 credits per tag they give to someone else. Considering that new refugees are only given a small amount of money to get them started (around 500 credits), this could be huge!
Normally, job posts (currently empty) will be posted on the last day of the month. Characters can begin working the jobs they sign up for on the 1st of the next month. These jobs will be posted early for the Test Drive Meme and can be considered the official jobs of the month.
For now, all jobs will be the lowest paying jobs at Level 5. As the months go on, Level 4, 3, 2 and 1 jobs will be added appropriately. All characters will begin at Level 5 except in very special, rare situations. Keep in mind that some jobs will remain a constant in job postings (Education, for example) while others will change monthly. Also, players may hire other characters themselves in the future through hiring page. Ordinarily, some jobs will have limited slots, but for the purposes of the Test Drive Meme, all jobs come equipped with unlimited slots.
Finally, if you choose to, you can make whatever happens during the Test Drive Meme game canon if you apply and you are accepted into the game. However, this is not required and if you don't want it to be canon but the players of your character's new CR do and vice versa, this is space with wormholes and the IID. Multiple instances of your character is possible, at least for this month.
If you have questions about how the game works, you can look at the gameplay page or post a question to the FAQ page. Remember, you don't have to post your character doing a job. You can have them arguing about the Babelfish, going shopping, having a fist fight with an alien, etc. The important thing is to have fun!

[ If it's a place where you play games, she's bound to love it...it's not like she doesn't spend 90% of her free time trying to get everyone in the army to play with her. ]
no subject
[no way... a girl gave him her name! Jyushimatsu feels like he's accomplished some great milestone here. how is she not running away from him in fear and anguish?]
I'm Jyushimatsu! [seeing Elise bounce in place makes him want to do it, too. he bobs on his knees a little, excited] And I don't mind! I love arcades! I love games!
no subject
Me too! Games are the best but I don't always get to play as much as I want back home! [ Which is. Exploded or whatever she guesses???? She tries not to think about that too much. ] Since everyone's so busy - but!!! It's super duper nice to meet you Jyushimatsu!
no subject
It's super duper nice to meet you, too, Elise! Follow me! [ahhhh wait until he tells his brothers! but a thought occurs to him as they are walking toward the arcade. if she'd never heard of one before...] What's your home like?
[shouldn't it be, what was your home like? well, saying it like that is... sort of sad. and if Jyushi thinks about it too hard, he'll be sad, or get homesick, or something. so he's going to refer to their worlds as if they are still around. yeah!]
no subject
[ But what's it "like"...? Hm. ]
Windmire, the capital city, is huuuuuuge, and I live in Castle Krakenburg for the most part. But, I like going outside and stuff...oh, I guess not everyone has magic at their homes? We have that!
no subject
You live in a castle? [intriguing! and magic, too? did she come from, like, the middle ages? that would certainly explain why she'd never heard of an arcade before]
no subject
no subject
Royal family?!
[Jyushimatsu pauses to press his hands against the wall and lean against it dramatically. just what was this girl saying? was she a princess? that's no good....! a princess is way out of his league! then again, why is he thinking about what is and what isn't in his league? was he his brothers? god, please no... he can't afford to be painful like Karamatsu, or depressing like Ichimatsu, or, heaven forbid pathetic Chorofappynski!
this was a real dilemma here! he grabs the sides of his head, swaying in response to his inner dialogue. just what was he supposed to do now?! he's already thinking that this girl is cute, and wondering if it would work out between them, when they've only just met. you have no business doing such a thing, Jyushimatsu! but... but...! AAAUUUGH]
no subject
[ She'll bob a curtsy as they walk, although...apparently being a princess doesn't stop her from talking rather casually to whoever she feels like talking to. It isn't as though formalities have ever been her Thing. ]
Buuuut since we're not in Nohr, I guess that doesn't mean a whole lot, huh? It's kind of weird!
no subject
You're still a princess! [he insists?] I mean... if you want to be. I don't see why that wouldn't matter anymore!
no subject
[ when the hell will elise get her feminine wiles, she asks the aether ]
She's SO COOL.
no subject
[ah... Elise does have a point. unless there are people around that knew her from home, she really didn't have any authority. hm. he ponders this for a moment, before asking]
Who is Camilla?
no subject
[ that's actually an understatement camilla is utterly terrifying in battle. ]
I said I was the youngest princess, right? I have four older siblings!
no subject
So do I! I have four older brothers! [and just like that, Jyushimatsu is revved up again. wow, something they can bond over. incredible]
no subject
[ She has. SO MANY siblings. ]
Oh! I guess I have five older siblings now, 'cause Azura counts now too but I didn't know her until reaaaaaaaaally recently. Growing up, it was Xander, Camilla, Leo, and Corrin!
no subject
how does one describe the Matsuno brood? Jyushimatsu has to be careful. if he talks about them all like they are pathetic losers, Elise may get the impression that he is one, too, and he kind of is! but if he talks about them like they are all great, then she might want to meet them, and then see them all for who they really are. WHAT DO]
...My brothers are just... you know... brothers! [what does that even mean, Jyushi?] There's Osomatsu-niisan, Karamatsu-niisan, Choromatsu-niisan, Ichimatsu-niisan, then me. And then Todomatsu.
[it should be said that Jyushi really loves his brothers. but. this is a cute girl who willingly wants to hang out with him. he's got to keep his eyes on the prize! his brothers would understand that, no matter how important they are to him]
