Test Drive Meme - Spring 2020



TEST DRIVE MEME
I. Wishes Come True
It's something you've always wanted, or perhaps it's something you've been missing from home. A favorite pet, a sentimental item. Or perhaps it's an ability, something that was stripped from you when you were trapped somewhere else in the multiverse and everything was taken from you. Whatever it is, you've wished for it, and it's arrived with a colorful drawing from Zephyr on your door step, showing what their interpretation of the wish that you've made is.

You can show off your new items or ability now. Perhaps you'd like to flaunt it for anyone in the Meadous to see. It is something shiny and new. Or perhaps you'd like to keep it close, secret. But someone might notice if you're being particularly furtive.



II. Be Careful What You Wish For
Well, that... that wasn't quite to plan. You stare down at the crayon drawing from Zephyr showing you exactly what you wished for. Except you hadn't meant it literally. Or you hadn't meant it quite like that, even if your wording had been vague. Now you're stuck with something you didn't want. Or perhaps you made a big mistake and now you're a different species. Or have extra appendages you can't get rid of. Not without making the walk of shame back to the Wishing Pond to wish away the changes. Why this? Why?

Hopefully, no one will catch you as you steal forth to undo your mistake.



III. World Hop
Zephyr has heard a call across the planes, a cry for help! They've reached out to you and every other person in the Meadous to answer that call. You step through the magic portal located at the playground and find yourself very suddenly in a world that is far bigger than you are. You're the size of a mouse relative to the furniture and assorted items you can see around the large stone room you've found yourself in. And, in fact, there's a mouse there to greet you, one in fancy clothes. The cats of this world have stolen three magic items and shrunk the mice down to this horrible size. They need you to help collect them before the cats destroy them all.

You'll have to brave corridors filled with human-sized, intelligent cats hunting down anything the size of a mouse to nibble on for a snack, and race to reach a red, blue, or green magic stone. How do you navigate this new world? With stealth? Charging forward? Diplomacy, you'll find, is very much not going to work. The cats will attempt to eat you if they can grab you. They're very hungry.



IV. Network
Each month, Zephyr clears away most of the notes from their Bulletin Board and adjusts the decorations, leaving it fresh and open for anyone who might wish to post something new. There's also a new little network device you've been granted that connects directly to the board and everyone else in the Meadous. Got a new crafting or cooking recipe to share? Maybe you're getting really annoyed that someone keeps letting their dog run through your yard. Or you're keen to start a fight to relieve some of the boredom in your very pastel fishbowl. Any which way about it, you've got the power to post to the board or the network... and anonymously, at that.



V. Choose Your Own Adventure
Whether it's just waking up in the Meadous or exploring some other part of the Setting, you're striking out with your own prompts to get some action started.
