DEC TEST DRIVE MEME

WELCOME, VAMPIRES!

Welcome to the Undying Court Test Drive Meme! This post will allow players to test drive their AU characters in the setting, as well as meet fresh faces or even connect with those they have preexisting CR with. As with anything involved in the setting, this post will likely contain: violence, enthrallment, torture, and sexual content.

Regarding continuity, all TDM threads can be taken as in-game canon if desired. Please keep in mind that the game proper will begin in mid December, in the Winter Season, so Students/Novices should create their prompts under the assumption that the TDM takes place during the season prior to the one they will be apping as. This means that students planning to app as first season novices will be visiting Castle Courtsheart prior to their Beginning. In other words, if you plan to app a student as a second season, the TDM will take place during their first, and so on.

Feel free to brush up on the Premise, Vampire Powers, and head over to the FAQ/Game Info page if you have any questions!

• Make sure you are aware of the Rules when posting your top-level. (Content warnings are always welcome!)
• Please format your Top-level in this format: Character Name (AU Name if different) | Canon | Teacher/Student | Court
• As a reminder, a Test Drive sample is required in order to app.
• If you have any questions specific to the TDM, ask them in the Questions thread below!

NEW ARRIVALS

New arrivals will be starting their first season in the winter, but they're welcomed to the castle early, under the watchful eyes of the Silver Court. Upon arrival, they will be shown to a room by a human whose eyes glow softly from within, with vacant smiles. Thralls. There, the human thralls will draw them a bath and bring them new clothes to wear to their first meeting. These are rich, expensive things made of high quality fabric. Whether it's a silk dress and a heavy velvet cowl, or a fine pants and a vest made from a brocade, the servants will provide. The new initiate's old clothes will be burned after, in a symbol of the life they are leaving behind. If they are hungry, they will be provided food. If they need anything at all, they need only ask their new servants.

Later that night they are taken to a grand hall, with high arched ceilings and candles burning in chandeliers. There are figures painted overhead, beautiful and entwined. Some have their eyes are colored to match the courts, others are gracefully placed in their death, with blood dripping from necks and wrists.

Balconies line the hall behind a forest of pillars, and vampires all watch as the group walk through (some more hungrily than others).

"Welcome to your first undying season, initiates," a pale, silver-haired vampire calls. They have silver eyes are clad in silver robes, but command the attention of everyone in attendance. They have a beauty that seems neither male nor female. They are standing at the center of a wide semi-circle of other vampires, "As the Silver Court's acting voice at this end of the Autumn season, allow me to introduce you to the Houses that will be your new homes."

The vampire, Revar, gives the newcomers an overview of all of the courts—Blue, Red, Gold, Silver, and Black—and then invites those already claimed by their Courts to join the vampires who will be their Makers.

Revar offers the Foundlings who are left a gentle, knowing smile, and then allows them to be chosen. They are like the last sheep left at the auction, and the vampires who take them may not be the enthused about it. Nevertheless, Revar waits patiently until all have found a maker.

Now that they are paired up it is expected—indeed, required—that the initiate drink from their maker. That is their Beginning. Only once they have truly begun can they can be considered novices.

AUTUMN NOX

Silver Court is in season and for the Autumn Nox it holds a large symposium, inviting all the best vampire minds from around lands nearby and far. The whole castle is abuzz with new activity. The stables are packed full of horses, carriages litter the grounds, but somehow the castle has enough rooms to house all the new arrivals.

Novices will find that some of these vampires have not seen a human-novice in a very, very long time. These vampires might see the human-novices more like specimens, curious about their every move. They won't bite, but novices may find themselves observed as they wander the castle and its grounds.

The symposium itself is open to anyone at the castle. Scholars can present on any topic at all. Novices will find that these range from the incredibly mundane (you've always wanted to attend a history of bottom-feeding river fish, haven't you?) to the truly fascinating (new insights into how vampire hearts work) to the downright strange (the symposium has a range of lectures very close to dawn about the sharing of vampire...fluids). Seasoned novices with their own Autumn classes to attend are expected to keep up with their studies, but some teachers may let them out of a session to attend the lectures and workshops of the symposium.

The Silver Court vampires are incredibly busy between running the symposium and trying to help the new novices get settled in. They may need some volunteers to lend a hand with setting up rooms or helping scholars find their way around. In fact, volunteers might find themselves leading scholars down to the second kitchen for a bite to eat, a strong reminder that even these demure learners are still monsters who must drink blood.

PUMPKINS-GONE-WILD

The symposium isn't all that the autumn season brings. The Silver Court’s talents are on display in other ways—sometimes not in ways another had particularly hoped. An overly zealous youngblood in the Silver Court tried to grow a few extra pumpkins for the occasion and ended up with a few too many! The pumpkin vines break out of the green house and start sprouting pumpkins everywhere. These are no ordinary pumpkins, they will sprout and grow and become fully formed in the course of a night. Better keep an eye out for those vines or else your room might become full of pumpkins! Luckily, the pumpkins aren’t rotting any time soon (they’ll last until winter, or so the Silver Court vampires are saying), but it can be pretty inconvenient for them to grow everywhere. Start cutting those vines to pieces, and hope they don’t try to entangle you in the process.

LIBRARY CLEAN-UP

Meanwhile, with all the scholars in town are making a mess of the library, much to the Silver Court vampire’s dismay. Books are being checked out and not checked back in, passed around from scholar to scholar. You might find those lost books just about anywhere. Who was reading in a tree? Anyone who collects the books and returns them to the library is sure to get a little bit of favor with the librarians, and it’s never a bad thing to have a bit of an in with a Court. If you’re worried about failing Silver Court, it’s time to get searching! Although how you’re going to convince a 300 year old vampire that time is not fake and that deadlines are real (and in fact were two days ago) is anyone’s guess.

UNETHICAL EXPRIMENTS

[CW: Torture, experiments]

Those who venture towards the basement might hear something a little different than normal. The thralls who spend their time down there are normally quiet, commanded to keep silent and pleasant for the vampires they serve. But with the arrival of the new scholars comes disquieting, inhuman screams from the darker reaches of the basement. Novices trying to catch a glimpse will be chased away, but teachers might be invited to watch as these vampires experiment on one another, all in the name of science. What’s a little torture, when you’re undying?

Comments

[naturesgifts]

She might not care enough but he does. It's probably antithetical to vampirism to have such a strong urge to care. His bleeding heart is something others would probably be ashamed of. He still cares though, because someone has to. Someone has to look after these young hopefuls, so that the ranks of vampires can grow strong and healthy for adding them.

She calls down and he reaches out to snatch the book as it falls. He catches it easily and carefully tucks it under one arm so that he can have both free again, just in case. He smiles up at her, beaming proudly. "Good toss." He follows along under her as she goes along the shelves. Like a cat. She reminds him of a cat.

He gestures again. "Almost there. Do you see it? It's just back there."

[naturesgifts]

Halsin has settled back in his office. Gone are the silver adorned cloths that he wore in the lecture to show his station. He is once again back in simple clothing. Soft and clean with a medic's white jacket draped over his shoulders like a cloak. His hair has even been let down from it's messy bun back into the flowing braids he's known for.

He wasn't actually expecting anyone to come talk to him but he'll never turn anyone away. He makes to the door and opens it, looming over the bandit who had been in his Puberty seminar. His smile is soft and he steps to the side to welcome the other in past the door to his office.

Inside, there is all the clutter of a mad-scientist's lab, with beakers and burners and all sorts of strange liquids in colorful containers. There is a large desk filled to overflowing with medical papers and charts. The examination table sits in the middle, perfectly clean and clear. Cabinets are near to bursting with gauze and supplies. In the far back of the room, behind a set of bookshelves is another door. There are no windows, but there is a sign that says "Private".

He gestures to one of the chairs near the desk. His own chair is massive behind it. He doesn't sit, but instead leans a little against his desk. "Ah, the curious student from before. You can keep the door open if you wish, if that makes you comfortable. But please have a seat."

[naturesgifts]

[Any other time, he might duck down and nuzzle into her hair. Tease her a little about finding him more interesting than all the fun things going on. He can't. He can't because what is going on down there isn't anything like fun to him. It's horrifying in a way that would churn his stomach had he still been human. So instead, he simply pulls a little tighter, as if she's some sort of shield between him and the goings on below.]

I'm sure they care... [It's small. He's always like this though, trying to give the benefit of the doubt even in the face of certainty. He wants to think that his Court only has his best interests at heart. Just like he wants to think that it's respect for his dedication to healing that has him being asked to do this season after season, and not some sadistic attempt to cauterize his bleeding heart.]

That's...That's not right. There's nothing more pleasurable than learning. [Actually, there are a few things more pleasurable than that. They both know that.] In finding new methods and new approaches. Passion is what drives discovery. In that, I think you could outmatch any of those scholars. But...I'm glad you aren't down there. [He doesn't know what he would do if he had to put her back together. He doesn't think it would be pretty, how angry he might become at their reckless disregard for his long time...annoyance.]

If I get called, maybe you can help me a little? I know you'd control the situation better than I can.

[naturesgifts]

[Later, he might find it within him to apologize for his temper. For now, he's just hellbent on getting his door free of vines. He's very glad for the knife now, because it makes things so much easier for him. He knows there's probably going to be more inside, but he hopes not too many. He also hopes that it hasn't reached his personal room.

He pauses in his mission to murder vines to consider her. There is a nod.]

Yes. It would be. [Halsin has gotten away for years on teaching the bare minimum of classes, but he can definitely see how that would be important to know.] I might be up for teaching another class. It is important to know. Not just for us but for the Thralls. [After all, they have to keep the cattle healthy, else everyone starves.] I'll propose it to the dean once all the scholars leave and it's back to our usual class load.

[He clears one last vine and offers the knife back.] I'm going to pull it open. Be ready for anything. Who knows what might have formed from all the chemicals I have in there.

Araki style info dump is The Way

[aria_ardeinae]

That's disgusting; I don't want some sort of vampire-enhanced dung eater flying around the place where I live!

[ The worst part about asking questions is getting answers. It's enlightening but he doesn't care for it. ]

...I don't want rat swarms either. They can have the pumpkins for all I care, but we will run out of pumpkins eventually.

[aria_ardeinae]

That poor artist. Detailing the fall of light on the backdrop and the weave of the shirt until that last, dreadful blank must be filled and draw all notice away from the rest of their hard work. No matter the technical skill involved, it can only be called the horrible beard painting.

[ He starts collecting another round of books. ]

At least it works well as a landmark.

[flagofbone]

If the dark blue brocade vest wasn't enough, the flecks of turquoise in his brown eyes made it clear what court had claimed him. The young man steps inside, observing Halsin dressed down as he considers the offer before closing the door.

There's an odd feeling that went through Harlock seeing the mess of papers, charts, and instruments scattered around like leaf litter. "Thank you." He started as he takes a seat, an arm resting on the back of his chair.

"I wanted to asked about your choices in feeding first,"

[wonderland_vogue]

[If she has to be a shield for once, at least it's against something she knows she can deal with if it came down to it. Something that she's more then comfortable with and can easily drown out if she wanted to. She's always been sadistic deep down and it's really no secret, which is perhaps why she's a little annoyed about their opinions down there.

Of course he would believe only the best of his own Court, even if she's certain that that's not at all what's going on here. Some certainly have that medical mindset, she can admit, but the ones down there are only in it for their own information and own interests. They don't care who they have to hurt in order to make sure their experiments are considered a success. In fact, she's almost certain that they use unwilling humans in those tests if they don't require specifically a vampire. And something about that riles her up more than it really ought to.]

Said like a real Silver. [She muses quietly, wiggling out from his side to instead plop herself into his lap and bury her face against him with a tiny bit of a huff. It's easier for him to cling like this, anyway, and if it keeps him grounded then all the better.] Too bad for them that my passions lie elsewhere than torturing people for science and tend to not need to involve having a healer on stand-by. [... Admittedly, she would torture someone for funsies but that's usually a consensual situation and she probably knows more about anatomy in that regard than most Reds probably have any business in doing so.]

Of course I can go with you if needed, darling, I'm not about to let them use you like this. And we both know that they will not push their luck with me~ [She certainly has no problems verbally ripping them apart if need be, hell, she'd probably enjoy doing it.]

How long do they have you out here today?

[timidheart]

[He clamps his mouth shut at that, forcing any other disparaging things that might have come out of his mouth to die. Kind or not, this person is still a vampire, and should their patience run out…]

[He shouldn’t think about that. He should focus on where they are going. Once they reach the quieter hall, Mayoi sighs with relief.]

[The fresh air really does wonders, but more than that, it’s the view of the night sky. It seems to relax him immediately. He breathes through his nose as he sets his hands on the stone, shoulders finally losing that bound up tension they’ve had since he entered the grand hall.]

…Thank you.

[midlifecryseas]

[ Leaving the overstuffed sofa all to Ed?? Tighnari spoils him, and Ed absolutely lets him... Well, after spoiling him a bit first, since that's what he came here for. He sets the glasses on the table between them, pours each of them a very full cup, one of which he hands to Tighnari before setting the bottle down, taking a deep sip from his own cup and, yes, finally, flopping back into that comfy couch he enjoys so much, immediately sprawling.

Ed hums, grimly amused, around a swallow of wine before he responds. ]

They feel younger every year. And every year it's the same lessons, the same stories being told again and again.... Don't know how you do it, mate. Even in seasons when there aren't mutinous pumpkins escaping their greenhouse.

[midlifecryseas]

[ Good and wise instinct, there. And Edward would be remiss to tell anyone in the castle they should let their guard down. Still, he's not a Blue Court teacher for nothing. His eyes don't stray the way the novice's does, fixed on the student. ]

Mostly. Until that constant vigilance wears you out. Gotta relax where you can, hm?

[midlifecryseas]

[ Edward chuckles, grin widening. ]

Not so sure it is, for some of them.

[ His eyes flick briefly back towards the direction of the experiments and screams. Inhuman and pained, all of them, yeah. But some definitely straddle the line. He smiles at Diluc again. ]

Silver Court vampires love their science. And, correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't Black Court blokes deep into violence? Stabbing people, putting evildoers in their place? It's okay, you know, to enjoy your work.

[serpendipity]

I was thinking more of the thralls...

[ So many were being ordered to do the cleaning up as well, but also getting caught up by the vines. Did they have something in place to take care of their own medical needs if it came up? In a way, Eden didn't want to know, and kept out of the way enough to nudge some of the cut vine lengths away from the door. At least until her harvest knife was returned. ]

You- You at least keep the ones that interact the most in different cabinets, right? So the odds are at least lower...

[ She must have an idea of what some of the chemicals could be, not just from that question, but also from the way she got ready to cover her mouth with her sleeve. ]

sorry for the delay ;;

[midlifecryseas]

Over-dramatic is exactly his vibe, which explains why he was thinking the same thing as Satoru. ...Well, almost. "Reckon we might go for more of a targeted engagement with the Silvers rather than just fucking the whole lot over. Wouldn't want anyone to get the wrong idea."

It's not like Ed's friend with some Silvers who would be mad at him or anything!!!! Why would you think that?!?! Anyway, a distraction! In the form of a vaguely coalescing plan, which he leans across the desk, and pumpkin!Ed, to whisper conspiratorially. "Heard there's one librarian in particular who's throwing a bit of their weight around with the first seasons already. They've been making the poor little wretches who can't even mask yet go everywhere around the castle grounds, collecting rogue books they could easily send a thrall or twenty to fetch. Dick move. Could do with a bit of a lesson themselves."

sorry for the delay ;;

[midlifecryseas]

[ Edward knows exactly what buttons he's pressing in this little outmatched novice. That's why he's that much more surprised, and delighted, when the student holds his ground, even gets angry. Fascinating. Ed's smile never wavers; if anything, it curls wider at the edges, even as his eyebrows knit together in the appearance of disappointment. ]

What a shame. Don't even see the problem with your trap, do you?

[ Vampires don't particularly need weapons to fight humans; that's what the pointy teeth are for. So, it might be a bit of a mystery as to why Edward reaches into his night sky blue leather jacket's breast pocket... Until it's clear that he's pulled out a journal. He sighs and shakes his head as he writes in it. ]

C+. Marks for the chaos, bro. But if you want to do well in Blue Court classes and become one of those predators instead of a human trapped in their own mind, yourself? You'll have to be a little more discerning than laughing at just anyone you happen to trip in a public walkway.

[prizedstallion]

Oh, I imagine it's nothing worth seeing, not when the star is out here.

[Was he hamming it up a little? Absolutely but he wasn't someone who had a lot of shame and he wasn't scared to hit on a teacher. He his on Xenk of all people, he wasn't deterred by the fact they had not only age seniority but power over him. In a way that make this way more hot.

Especially since he was a healthy young man and she was a gorgeous woman. He's absolutely here for this.]

Well, if words aren't gonna get me far, I am happy to exercise my filthy tongue. [He licks his lower lip seductively.]

How about we make some screams worth watching?

[prizedstallion]

[At first he rolls onto his back with a groan before seeing the humor in the situation and laughing a little out of breath. Of course he absolutely wiped out towards the end, He should have guessed such a thing would happen really. It was just his luck.

When she offers a hand, he takes it, mostly lifting himself up but still using her help. He was pretty big, even if he was still a bit skinny from being a poor kid who barely ate on a good day. He was slowly bulking out, getting more healthy muscle. It helps that there is such an abundance of food here.]

Yeah, that's your win. I almost had you there, but that one's my loss.

[He groans but there's an amused huff behind it.]

[flagofbone]

[It makes it awfully tempting to see if there's a hidden passage behind such a hideous painting. He hops over the last few rungs, and sits on top of the bookcase, peering down]

I believe it's what they call a "conversation piece". Who knows - in a century people would wondering what the hell we were thinking wearing the things we do.

[devilyoudo]

[ Raphael smiles, apparently quite pleased with her at the moment. ]. You have never been more right, my dear.

[ It’s all about the fight, the struggle, the victory or the loss! Raphael can never just do things normally. He never has. Anyone who’s been around long enough knows this by now. ]

If they do not respond to my tests in a certain way, I lose interest, you see. I am not the only one in the relationship who must offer something of use, after all.

[ He shrugs like this is very common sense, thinking back to the Golds and Silvers he’d run into so far. Honestly he enjoys the Gold court sometimes. They are fun to snipe. And so easy to manipulate. ] I cannot say I have a strong interest in any of them yet, no. Although it is always amusing when they do not realize their place in the world until it is far too late, hm?

[serpendipity]

Once you're better at minding your feet, you'll start winning, probably.

[ As in, she believed it was a 'when' and not 'if.' There was a slight advantage with all of the vines, but that was temporary. Unless her own speed picked up significantly more, or if Jim getting to a bulkier weight slowed him down, she was happy enough admitting that. While there was genuine muscle from handling wildlife and carrying it back to the cabin back home, there was still catching up to reach a healthier kind of skinny on her own part as well.

With a gentle bump of her shoulder against his side before taking a more leisurely pace to finish their way to the kitchens. ]

It might come down to who learns shadowstepping faster.

[ Which she was behind on practicing, if only because her maker was so busy with preparing and participating in the symposium that she was behind on receiving his blood compared to other courts' students in the same season. It was a similar case with all of the other abilities they were supposed to learn this season. That doesn't stop her from keeping a smile on her face. ]

Sometimes I still forget that there's enough food to indulge yourself whenever the feeling hits, and that you can fill your stomach every time. Is that silly?

[devilyoudo]

[ He does sour for a brief moment at the mention of elders. It is entirely true and Akechi is 100% in the right, but Raphael believes his peak form to have been when he was a bit younger. If only he had been turned back then. Ah well.

He puts that aside for now and considers the rest of that response, its meanings between the lines. ]

Yes. Yes, I do believe you have the right idea. Are you sure you are in the correct court, my friend? I can see the buddings of great potential in you. A little proper nurturing and you would blossom.

[devilyoudo]

Why, I can see it all over your face, my darling. You need not be ashamed, it is good to feel things.

[ He waves his hand in a grand shrugging gesture. His eyebrows lift as he watches her begin to leave.

Oh, she hasn’t heard of him? He presses a hand to his chest. ]

Raphael. Youngblood though I am, I have been an instructor in the Red Court for quite some time. Perhaps you should take one of my classes.

[prizedstallion]

[Kirk takes a step closer, he was a little taller, but barely, their eye contact deep. There was no flinching, just a very cheeky smile.]

I suppose we will.

[He thinks about leaning forward and stealing a kiss, but he knows the man has a sword and knows well enough not to risk it. Too smart for such a dumb move. Besides, for all his negative aspects, respecting consent in this was important. So he just thinks about it instead.]

Oh really? And what makes you so sure?

[devilyoudo]

[ He flinches only for an instant as she bites into that crunchy apple, mildly put off of the lack of manners! Youths these days. ]

Oh, Daria. Such a detached approach. However do you stay from dying of boredom? Falling asleep all the time?

[ He shakes his head. Could not be him. ] Scholarly pursuits, I suppose. What are you reading?

[devilyoudo]

[ Raphael has his own reasons for appreciating the Gold Court from time to time, but he would agree their priorities are at times quite silly.

He gives a nod. ]

It is a weapon. But if you swing a blade around wildly, without thought or direction, it is not going to deliver favorable results, hm? The same goes for seducement, my friend. When finely honed, it is not only powerful, but beautiful. Thus, it is art.
