DEC TEST DRIVE MEME

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?

Thanks for joining us for our first TDM! For any questions regarding the TDM prompts, please comment in the thread below. For general game questions, please check the FAQ/Game Info. Remember that the game proper will begin 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.

Shadowheart.

[Ow, the edge. Clearly not her given name, but it sure is the only one she'll answer to.]

I believe you'll be one to keep an eye on in the seasons to come.

I suppose my curiosity had been sated.

[She gives him a knowing smile then, some of that seriousness of hers melting away.]

Besides, I'll not have you getting into trouble on my account. That would be a terrible shame.

[ well okay that's true, tighnari loves getting fucked, but he also loves giving diluc pleasure, watching and hearing him fall apart. it's one of the few ways that tighnari can help him to forget his pain, at least for a little while. he won't be put out at all. diluc can simply get him back for it later.

with a smile, tighnari kisses his way up diluc's body, up his abdomen and over his chest as he gets to his feet, before their mouths meet in a slow, deep kiss. ]

Mm.. well, I want to spoil you, so why don't you tell me how you want it?

[ pulling away, tighnari hooks his thumbs into his pants and strips himself down fully, before he hooks a finger around the leather harness and lifts it from the drawer, watching diluc through hooded eyes. ]

Shall I press your face into the pillow, or would you rather look into my eyes?

Satoru's about halfway through the third page of a treatise about the seductive power of the sword, and doing his best not to mentally overhear what's happening in the shelves, when Ed's message comes through loud and clear, with the military precision that this project deserves.

The fussy librarian walks out with a red face and a stammering excuse even though it's not necessary, and immediately proceeds to start lecturing some poor novice about turning the pages of a book wrong.

Wow, Satoru sends to Ed, I'm sure you did an impressive job, but his seven minutes in heaven's afterglow didn't last very long. He must be a natural buzzkill. Even kills his own buzz.

"Hello!" He cheerfully makes an intrusion into the lecture, still pushing the room-wide entrancement to disguise himself. "I notice you have a stick up your ass. Allow me to dislodge it." The librarian all but chokes on his offense, but before he can really work himself into a rage, Satoru has grabbed his shoulder and twisted his arm behind his back to immobilize him. He waits a second, lets go, hikes the librarian's robe up, and grabs a firm hold on the back of his brand new panties. "One, two--"

And yank. With most of his strength. The librarian's strangled shriek is music to his ears.

[ tighnari leans comfortably back into the cushions, one leg crossed over the other, watching mayoi's face curiously as the young man's eyes move over him as if seeing him for the first time. tighnari smiles. ]

Mm. I understand.

[ becoming a vampire is.. difficult, in many ways. you lose a bit of the person that you once were, you lose the beautiful sunlight, and your humanity, but there are gains as well. the world becomes clearer, brighter, every detail sharply outlined, and the bonds you develop.. are powerful, deep, and intense.

tighnari nods. ]

You are sturdier than before. That strength will only grow with the more blood that you drink.

[Something about those words strike him a certain way. Perhaps because being "Weak" had always been synonymous with his existence, both for his struggles with illness and because of his clan's own status. The idea of being strong in any sense of the word is something he has been struggling with this whole time. To be a vampire is to be strong, that is easy to understand and it's something he's always known. But to place himself in that equation...]

Can a creature like me really become strong...? I never would have thought it could be possible.

[A quiet pause.]

Every part of me has always been weak, that I feared even the blood itself would reject me upon entering. It's hard for me to grasp that I could be something more than I always believed.

Still wearing his mask's appearance, Edward's found a comfortable seat far enough out of the librarian's way to be a distraction, but close enough to keep both eyes on the show. He hums in his mind at Satoru's assessment. Didn't pay any mind in his Revelry course as a novice, seems like, he agrees, and leans forward on his elbows, grinning as he watches Satoru get right to work, commanding the librarian's attention as quickly and easily as only a Gold fucker can. Ed's grin only widens as Satoru bullies the librarian into turning and then—

The magic moment at last, and it's perfect, as undignified and childish as any Blue Court bastard could've hoped, and Ed's cackle is loud and hooting. He's pleased to hear a few other denizens of the library joining in, so he goads them on. "That's what you fucking get—" Ed hollers in the Silver mask's voice. "—For being a dick!"

Even after his laughter has died down beneath the laughs and taunts of the others around them, Satoru can probably still heard Edward giggling in his head. Run! He urges, Run, man! even though it's entirely unnecessary, given the nature of their disguises. Edward's already a few steps towards the door himself, though he waits for Satoru, as any decent accomplice would.

I'm sorry.

[ She furrows her brows further, shaking her head. It's rather shameful to have lied in the first place... ]

It's just ... um. My family prefers I stick to the Blue Court as much as possible.

[ She does at last give a little smile at least. ]

I ... enjoyed watching your teaching.

"Justice reigns supreme!" Satoru cackles as he runs, catching up with Ed. They're not the only two laughing -- watching an asshole get a wedgie is universal entertainment -- and the spectacle helps cover their escape. When they're far enough toward the entrance of the library and far enough away from everyone's active perception, Satoru pushes the thought of invisibility as they slip out, so nobody knows which direction they're going.

He drops the entrancement when they're far enough away, and leans against the walls, still laughing.

"Your trophy, sir," he announces grandly, offering to Ed the scrap of silk hem he tore off when he used probably a bit too much strength in the wedgie.

I've gotten into trouble over far less important things.

[Or people, in her case.]

Still, it's better for both of us if you take your leave before we push our luck. I'll see you in class.

[And get him back Diluc will, when they next find themselves in a situation like this. It's only a matter of time.

He steps out of his pants once Tighnari pulls them the rest of the way off, then leans down to steal another brief kiss from his lips before moving past him to sit on the bed he just vacated.]

If you're looking to spoil me, how can I request anything other than looking at you?

Of course you can.

[ tighnari is sure to keep his voice kind, but firm, to instill what confidence he can in mayoi. he deserves to hear it, he needs to hear it. tighnari can't help him to change overnight, but he can start small, with little encouragements here and there. ]

Perhaps it's time to start believing in yourself a little bit more, hmm?

[ tighnari smiles, one ear idly flicking. ]

You aren't weak. You've made it this far, and that's something to be proud of.

It's quite all right. You have to keep yourself safe.

[ sometimes that might mean lying. she's only a novice after all, she has to do whatever it takes to stay secure and safe, if that means telling a few untruths in order to keep herself from getting hurt. he understands. ]

I take it your family wouldn't be pleased with you enjoying my lectures?

Good. That's what I was hoping to hear.

[ as nice as it might be to turn diluc over and fuck him hard, tighnari loves to look into his pretty face as well, into those beautiful big eyes.

stepping back, tighnari takes the harness and slides it slowly up his legs, buckling it snugly into place before he's lifting the glass cock and running a finger along the length of it with a curling smirk. ]

Lie back for me.

[ he purrs softly, and takes up the bottle of oil before he's sliding onto the bed on his knees, fixing the glass cock into place in its harness. ]

And keep your eyes on me..

To a degree, yes. There is no reason for us not to be.

[ He shrugs, watching her intently for a few moments before he finally concedes and lowers his arm so she may reach the book. Not outright giving it to her still of course, but allowing her to take it if she so desires. ]

For some, a book is all it takes. I should think you would benefit from a more personal lesson.

It would appear so. Color me surprised.

[ But not disappointed! Raphael does care about the students he deems teachable. He just has a very particular way about him. Well, Daria does as well, it seems. How amusing. ]

And to send them running after lost books is, well, practically laughable. But good marks are good marks, I suppose.

[ To her credit, Eden doesn't snatch at the book to get it back, but looks at the thing with a bit of fatigue before accepting it back. Whether it was to continue trying to understand everything, or to return the book back to where it belonged, she'd need it back. It's almost like a weight rather than something she really wanted, shown further by the way she drops it back into the chair she'd been sitting in earlier.

Reading was... Well, work. Just work that meant you didn't have to be embarrassed by coming from an isolated life. She didn't enjoy it. In fact, she learned better by actually seeing and experiencing what needed to be learned. ]

I don't think my teacher is interested in giving students more personal lessons.

[ easy to miss for someone not erwin, and he tilts his head slightly to watch levi and catalogue his reactions further.

the question doesn't surprise him, but he doesn't have a canned answer ready. it always depends on the person, and he thinks he might, after a moment's thought, have an answer that would be satisfactory, at least for now. ]

Would you be more comfortable if we used a knife instead of my teeth? And that said, it doesn't have to be the neck. Personally, I find wrists more intimate than necks, but it can be easier for people new to the experience to nick an arm rather than feel that kind of pressure on their neck.

[As nice as it is to be pinned down and fucked within an inch of his unlife, that's not the right mood for the moment. He wants to be able to look up at the man who's making him come apart, to see him flushed with the effort and the brightness in those silver eyes.

(They were hazel the first time they did this, back when his own eyes were red.)

He doesn't hesitate to do as he's told, stretching out on the bed luxuriously and watching Tighnari climb onto the bed and attach the harness. The sight is a gorgeous one, and he reaches down to stroke himself languidly as his partner finishes preparing. Partly because he can't help himself, and partly as a show.]

I wouldn't want to look at anything else right now.

[ well, damn, that's a good question. would he be more comfortable if they used a knife?

it's something that gives him pause, because his very first thought is yes—a knife is easier to sanitize than a mouth, after all—but there's more to it than that, isn't there? if they use a knife, his blood is more likely to spill and stain something. he's more likely to see it, even if it doesn't. if Erwin bites him, he can minimize contact with his own blood.

it takes him a moment to answer. ]

...No, that's fine. There won't always be a clean knife on hand, so I might as well get used to it.

[ this is a true statement, so it's fine if it's not his primary reasoning, right? ]

You can take one of my wrists.

[ the show is certainly appreciated. tighnari smirks and watches for a few moments, enjoying the movement of diluc's hand and the way it makes tighnari tighten right to his core.

fluid and graceful, tighnari climbs onto the bed, crawling over diluc and settling comfortably between his thighs, not hesitating a moment before dipping in to kiss his mouth, slow and deep, tongue curling and seeking. all the while his left hand works, thumbing the cork off of the vial and spilling its contents over his fingers before letting the empty glass fall aside.

tighnari's thoroughly slicked fingers travel south, dragging along the underside of diluc's cock and lower, teasing along the seam of his ass before two fingertips press warm against his entrance, rubbing in slow but firm circles. ]

Good. Now.. relax for me.

[The show stops the moment Tighnari is hovering over him, with Diluc cupping his face between his hands as they kiss. It's equally passionate and earnest, like most of what they've been up to since locking the door behind them. He typically doesn't do feelings, but with Tighnari he always makes an exception.

(This is, of course, a lie; Diluc has a lot of feelings about a lot of things, fellow vampires most of all. The difference is that he doesn't entirely pretend his feelings for Tighari don't exist.)

Once Nari's fingers are slick and he reaches down, Diluc nods before taking a few deep breaths in and out to help his body relax. It's a well practiced skill by now.]

Founders, I...

[Need this. Need you. ~~Love you.~~]

I'm ready.

[ i'm ready, diluc days, and tighnari does not hesitate. one finger slips past that tight ring of muscle, sliding into diluc's body fluidly and easily, to the first knuckle, then the second, and finally to the last. he feels so wonderfully tight, and tighnari loves the feel of it, but this is only the prelude. diluc relaxes, and tighnari slides another finger in beside the first, gently stretching diluc's body around his slim fingers. ]

So tight..

[ he murmurs, dragging their mouths together with a soft hum as he begins to carefully work his fingers dexterously in and out, working diluc open as they kiss, slow and soft. gods, tighnari is so wet, aching just from feeling diluc around him, he can't help but to grind his hips down against diluc's thigh. ]

You feel so good..

Mm. [ She gives a nod, lowering her eyes a moment. That's an understatement, really. One wrong move and she could find herself a thrall.

As for his question, she shakes her head. ]

They are ... prominent supporters of the Blue Court. They have high hopes.

No?

[ He watches her take the book, take the imaginary weight of it down into that chair with her. Oh but he or Astarion would surely have fun with this one. Who is she taking her lessons from, he wonders? ]

Well then hopefully your teacher will not mind if you pick up some extracurricular from someone who is.

[ Himself, or Astarion if that's more her taste. That's what he's implying anyway. ] I remain insistent that you would benefit.
