Welcome to the Test Drive Meme for

escordvi! Anyone can participate in the test drive, regardless of invite eligibility. Just keep in mind that applications are closed to new players and only current players can reserve on August 25th and apply on September 1st. However, we still have our EMP/ATP which can be found here.

For your toplevel, please include the following: Character Name | Canon | Armada Choice | TDM (IF TDMING). Current players can use the same header, just without the "TDM" label. We do require those who are TDMin'g to include the label so other players can distinguish between others.

For everyone's convenience, TDM threads can be carried over in game if you wish! If you are still unsure which armada to place your character, you can play it a bit loose and vague in the TDM and make retroactive changes if you carry over the threads. The log itself is set to cover starting from August 1st until the end of the month. Characters will appear at random intervals during this time rather than all at once, so players have some more flexibility on how much more adjusted they are for someone else. Entries from the MANTA Board can also be used in this log.

If you have any question about the TDM, comment here. If you have questions about the game in general, please comment to the Game Info.

Warnings: Lyney's dramatic ass

[So, what comes up on the network isn't actually any words, but a picture. A big, obnoxious picture, with some text superimposed upon it. The picture is then followed by several others, all depicting a similar theme, and similar motif:]

( Ridiculous pictures under here )

[Following the pictures is a morose-reading text from a certain magician.]

To think, after two whole years apart, my own sister refuses to acknowledge me! I simply wished to spend time with my dear sister! Oh, the humanity..! My dear sister, if you can see this, please reconsider your cruel and coldhearted decision! Your brother misses you so!

[Sure he may have been a little overbearing with her, checking in on her a bit more than was necessary, but he had missed her! Being blocked on the Shellphones was hardly fair, in Lyney's humble opinion! He clearly didn't do a single thing wrong!]

[...Okay no he may have been quite annoying and irritating to his introverted sister and pushed her to block him because of his overbearing-ness, but like hell is he admitting that.]

Subject: WHO BOUGHT ME A HOUSE!?
Warnings:
Nothing for now!

[ The cheerful image of a carnation pink hedgehog suddenly fills the screens of those who own shellphones, a smile that could light up the sun itself lighting up her face as she addresses her current audience. ]

Hi! My name is Amy Rose, and I've been here for a few months now. I don't want to take up too much of anyone's time, but, I just wanted to thank whoever was kind enough to buy me the cutest little cottage!

[ If one squints, they'll be able to see that she is, in fact, sitting at a small kitchen table in the aforementioned cottage, which is still being decorated given... well. She just moved in. Somehow, she brightens even further. ]

This was the sweetest, kindest thing anyone has ever done for me! I have no idea which one of you did it, but I wish I did so I could give you a proper thank you! I understand if you want to stay anonymous... but that definitely won't stop me from trying to figure out who it is so I can at least thank you in person!

[ Amy's all about a good mystery, too; she's been informed that sometime in the near future at home, she'll have a murder mystery themed birthday party. And this, right here, is a REAL good mystery -- no one even died, so, that's WAY better! Her eyes light up suddenly, as she remembers something else she wanted to say. ]

Oh! That reminds me! Now that I have a real kitchen, if anyone here wants or needs something cooked or baked? I'm your girl! Seriously, it's been MONTHS and I've been dying to cook. So, if you need something done, let me know! Ah, but, I'm deviating... sorry! To wrap things up... whoever bought this place for me? Please don't be a stranger. Given you bought it, you know where I live. And... thank you, so much, from the bottom of my heart.

[ Amy bows politely with gratitude, and after a few moments, the feed cuts. ]
