Test Drive 1

Welcome to All Inclusive's test drive! Anyone is welcome!

Guidelines


  • Please make sure you are familiar with how we play and what characters are allowed before participating.

  • Writing should be in para/prose just like in the main game. That means no brackets, no asterisks, etc. No network posts, please.

  • No anonymous comments.

  • We very strongly suggest NOT writing your character's first time at the Nexus, but rather a random scenario once they've gotten more used to the idea of the place. The shock and surprise of new arrivals and subsequent info dump by whomever meets them tends to be one note.

  • Entries to the test drive may be of any length. However, if your intro (top-level) comment is of normal post length and you are proud of the quality, you may use it as an example on your application.

  • Feel free to tag around the meme with any character you already play or are considering, even if they don't have their own intro comment.

  • If your character is accepted into the game and you have permission from the other involved players, you may consider test drive threads as game canon. You may also linkdrop them to the main community if you choose.

  • Please use the header below for your intro/top-level comment.

Name: Draco Malfoy
Canon: Harry Potter
Location: Arboretum

Having been forced to discard both Apparition and the Floo network as a means of escaping this unfamiliar place, Draco decided there was wisdom in investigating his surroundings. If nothing else, having a better understanding of the place might help him understand how the hell he'd ended up here, when he'd meant to end up in Diagon Alley.

The arboretum was an unexpected, though pleasant, surprise, and he found himself lingering there, the drum of rain overhead and the cool smell of plants helping to soothe his nerves— but not so much that he didn't turn with a sharp look the second he heard a footstep behind him.

Emma wasn't enthusiastic about the hotel herself. There were much better uses for her time than loitering around all day talking to strangers. That was enjoyable in its own time, but it wasn't something she could do very much without becoming weary of it.

The arboretum seemed like the best place to go to be alone and attempt to work through her plans for her stay here. The young man already inhabiting the room did somewhat put a damper on that intention. She internally chided herself for not checking ahead of time with her telepathy. She nodded politely to the young man, taking her time to walk deeper into the room.

Draco's eyebrows lifted fractionally in surprise. So, not a wizarding hotel, then. Or not one in Britain, anyway. Even six years hadn't been enough to dim his infamy in the eyes of the wizarding public; he'd gotten used to being accosted in the street by total strangers looking for someone to blame the war on. He couldn't even deny he presented an easy enough target— so this girl was either possessed of commendable self-control, or had no idea who he was.

Whatever the reason, he'd escaped censure for the moment, which meant it was time to see if he could get some answers. One fortunate side effect of his job with Gringotts was that he'd learned to get over his hatred of pleasantries and small talk— or at least, to hide its existence when speaking to strangers.

"Excuse me," he said before the girl had gotten very far away, "but do you know anything about this place? I've just mistakenly Apparated here, and I need to be— well, anywhere else." His mouth tilted slightly, not quite a smile, but not not one either.

Emma was quite unprepared to be addressed by the young man. She gave him a curious look, then shrugged. "I have gleaned some knowledge about the place, but I arrived two days ago, and have not yet explored fully. What I have learned is that there are places we can amuse ourselves and the hotel is quite full of guests." Her tone was bland and relatively emotionless and her expression was one of calculated disinterest. Two days was quite long enough for a telepath of her calibre to gain insight into her situation, but knowing too much was too telling. Beside, information was valuable and she didn't intend to give it away for nothing. "What's your name, boy?"
