SLAY BELLS RING

T E S T D R I V E M E M E

Considering apping into MASK OR MENACE? Want to dip your toes into the setting and get a feel of whether your character will fit into it? Or maybe you're just cruising and want to play around? Then you've come to the right place!

Pick any of the following scenarios below or feel free to make up your own, but don't be afraid to throw yourself at someone else's thread, either!

And remember there's only one rule in Test Drive Meme Club: HAVE FUN ON THE TEST DRIVE MEME!

01.The city of Heropa is what one might expect from a small, bright and cheery place, where locals are friendly enough and local shop owners might offer a free drink to welcome you to their fair city.

Although even Florida can get chilly during the winter, they won't let that spoil the fun. It's not beach weather, but it's time for a palm tree decorating contest to bring everyone into the holiday spirit! Note that isn't technically Christmas decorating. Pick a theme, any theme, from holidays to puppies to capitalism and have at. The natives will judge and vote for their favorite- so really, there's nothing wrong with a little pandering. The winner will get both the honor of having defeated their rivals, and a free lifetime supply of Italian frozen ice and hot dogs from the sponsoring local stand.

Those who just aren't interested in competing might be called in to judge another competition down the beach: a youth sand-sculpting contest! Only one team can walk away with the grand prize of a laser tag package, but can you bring yourself to be harsh on those wide, hopeful eyes?

Speaking of that Italian ice, there are some free samples being offered to tempt you into competing for the prize. And, shocking to no experienced imPort, someone has meddled with it just a bit. Each of the three flavors will have a different effect and, fates help us, they can be stacked, though the effects only last about an hour. Strawberry with fill you with team spirit, encouraging you to decorate a tree in a group or spontaneously form a new rock group. Even those that usually Only Work Alone will want to form a team. Lemon will spike your competitive nature. You're not just going to win, you are going to wave the severed heads of your competitors before their weeping mothers-, er, that is, win by a lot. Finally, lime flavor with up your silliness factor. Everything's fun and happy at the Holiday season, right? Why not pull a prank or two while you're here, or just enjoy a nice knock-knock joke with friends. Hopefully you didn't get that lemon-lime mix and now must pull the most epic prank ever or show that you are the single happiest person on this or any other world. That could get complicated.

02. De Chima, Virginia, is a large city with a healthy economy, with large numbers of citizens waiting to be awed by your very presence. Look at you! Organic wonder! Synthetic wonder! Whatever you might be, those words have meaning here. Science and technology are the lifeblood of this city, so you're likely to come across a good many locals taking your picture with the newest of devices or recently published PLoS papers. The imPort craze remains high here, and you may find yourself cornered by overzealous imPort fans, media wannabes and opportunists alike, shoving cameras in your face.

With Christmas coming, the producers behind a guerilla new reality show are hard at work getting new footage—starring you! Areas of the city with the most foot traffic have been absolutely blanketed in mistletoe. If you happen to pass beneath a sprig, you might find a small camera crew jumping out of nowhere, urging you to give the person next to you a smooch—and thanks to the strange radio waves coming out of the unit on the executive producer's wrist, you'll feel a little compelled to do so!

...except the compulsion isn't that strong, so those who don't kiss on the first meet can easily break out of it. Your next choice: give the camera crew a piece of your mind, or ask the would-be kissee out for coffee? They are pretty cute...

03. Maurtia Falls, Pennsylvania has carried a reputation for ups and downs ever since imPorts began reappearing again, just those few years prior. Several imPort heroes have put focused efforts into cleaning up the streets of this somewhat infamous city, while a handful of others had swooped in to help the criminal industry thrive. More so here than the streets of any other imPort city, the battle between good and evil looks more like a war of escalation than a heroic tale. Everything from the classic bank heist to brutal bloodbaths can happen around the corner. You have to keep your eyes open and your mind sharp when you live in Maurtia Falls, and hostility against imPorts can spike. The emergence of locals with superpowers is hardly helping...

The downtown mall is tilting the balance solidly toward welcoming to imPorts with a Winter Welcome Festival. All the storefronts and many temporary kiosks occupied by local vendors are holding special sales, and newly arrived imPorts are given a coupon book to make the most of them. The food court has some free goodies for participants to mix and mingle.

Unfortunately, a local rogue with the alias of Klone Kringle is here to spoil the fun. After a small boom echoes throughout the mall, everything dissolves into chaos as dozens of copies of a man dressed in a polyester Santa Claus costume begin looting the retailers! The guns they wield that shoot snow and ice might not be lethal, but they can certainly slow you down (and give you a cold). Will you be the hero and help take down Kringle(s), or will you seize the opportunity to do some theft of your own?

04. Nonah, North Carolina, is the liveliest of all cities; loud, busy and there's always some kind of energy in the air that gets everyone buzzing with excitement.

Although Nonah sees milder winters than some imPort cities, it's strangely snowy today, with icicles hanging everywhere. They definitely weren't there this morning, and no storm has passed through, so what gives? A downtown disturbance makes it clear: a would-be supervillain calling himself THE ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN has attacked. Is he some kind of mutant, a scientifically modified human, or is there just a lot of arctic-tech stuffed into his snowsuit? Whatever its source, he's spraying ice and snow far and wide from his hands, turning the area into a winter wonderland and absolutely ruining sales for local businesses that depend on foot traffic! Also, some citizens have been frozen in blocks of ice. That's bad.

Come, heroes, and defeat this icy menace! That, or build a really cool snowman. It's your call.

05. Jeopardy, Nevada by all rights shouldn't exist. A glowing neon city smack in the middle of the desert, the only reason it's still here is that the central nuclear power plant has tapped half a mile down into a subterranean lake for its water supply. So though the desert around it may be barren, the occupants of this small city are happily self sufficient. Those weird figures you see out of the corner of your eyes? Don't worry too much. Probably just weird radiation after effects. Jeopardy has a lot of those.

Saturnalia is just around the corner and Jeopardy is in full festive swing! The seven-day marathon of festivities includes a parade, with a ((cw: arachnophobia)) very special float from the Web Mistress's church; a day long city-wide paintball game; an attempt to break the world record for largest bingo game with everyone playing in dead silence; and a feast!

Usually the feast focuses on the symbolic ritual sacrifice of a giant chocolate Santa Claus, but this year is a little different. In an effort to display their gratitude for imPorts keeping their city from being ground zero of the apocalypse, they are making an entirely different set of effigies: you! Instead of one Big Chocolate Santa there are over a hundred 1/6th scale chocolate humans, each lovingly recreated in the visage of their favourite imports. Whether or not that loving visage is accurate may be up for debate, but... Hey, want to eat a chocolate rendition of your own head? Now you can!

He hadn't expected an answer. A man of few words, that's the Lan Zhan he knows.

Wei Ying know's he's being testy, and ill-tempered, and twitchy. He falls silent, letting the other man do as he wishes with as much patience he can muster.

...But then Lan Zhan grabs his wrist and starts pushing energy into him to help speed his recovery. He sighs quietly, eyes closing as slowly, the pain eases.

But with the lessening of pain, he loses his desperate grip on consciousness as his knees slowly buckle under him.

He'd been searching, seeking, pushing his own energy into Wei Wuxian even as he tried to gauge the other man's own. But before he could make an estimate, he felt Wei Ying's wrist go limp, and his eyes snapped open.

"Wei Ying!" he breathed, for the second time in as many minutes, a name he'd barely spoken in 16 years. He moved very quickly, releasing the man's wrist as he moved to catch him, one arm sliding around his waist as he caught the man's head with his shoulder. His heart was racing, thundering painfully against his ribs, the worry creasing his face more obviously than it had been even a minute ago.

No Cloud Recesses. No haven to return to. No sanctuary. And Wei Wuxian had returned to him, only to collapse in his arms a moment later. Now he needed to find some place. And fast. People in the crowd were starting to notice the two of them, gathering and whispering, as the subtle expression on Lan Zhan's stony face turned from worry to protective anger.

Carefully, he pulled Wei Ying into his arms, and stood up, his pure white robes almost billowing in the movement. His sharp gaze kept the onlookers at bay, and he said absolutely nothing to them as he carried Wei Ying away.

It took a little while before he could find a place, but thankfully Jeopardy's hotels were very flashy. Though the script wasn't one he knew, he found he could read all the signs anyway, and decided to think about how disturbing that was much later. After a tense meeting with a receptionist who didn't know what to do with a nugget of gold placed before her, he finally secured a room in a hotel a few blocks away from where the feast was being held. Just one room, just one bed, but it was fine. He didn't need a bed himself. He just needed somewhere to put Wei Ying.

He didn't even start to relax until he was in the room, gently laying Wei Ying onto an impossibly soft mattress. He wondered vaguely if it would be far to soft to even sleep, but maybe that wasn't a bad thing. Maybe that meant that Wei Ying would wake up faster.

He stood above him for a long moment, watching, hesitating, his hand twitching at his side. He couldn't resist the impulse, in the end - Wei Ying was asleep, and he couldn't leave him like that - so he gently reached out and brushed a stray hair back into place from his forehead. But that was all the contact he allowed himself. He breathed in, and then turned away, pulling out his spirit pouch as he went to sit on the floor, crossing his legs.

He qin appeared before him, and he placed his hands on the familiar instrument with a strange, deep longing. He closed his eyes, centring himself, ignoring the strange, unfamiliar world, the bizarre furniture, the room, the hotel, the city, the desert. None of it matter.

A moment later, he began to play.

Wei Wuxian has been holding on by a fraying thread for far too long. To himself. To sanity. To composure. To his temper, though that's been the hardest thing to hold back. To ignore all the pain enough to act as normal as possible. Even the strongest can't hold on forever, and his breaking point had been reached and rushed right past.

He doesn't hear the frantic call of his name, nor how Lan Zhan picks him up and carries him through the crowd until he finds them a place to stay. He doesn't even feel the hand tucking hair out of his face.

Only when the sweet healing song of the guqin has been playing for a few hours does he twitch before shifting on the soft bed. His breathing eases, and eventually he opens his eyes to stare up at the ceiling. The spirits are quiet, he absently notices, blinking slowly.

But he doesn't want to move.

His legs had long begun to ache under him, but he'd sat through far worse, for far longer, for much less. It didn't even occur to him to take a break, or cease. He kept playing, and would keep playing for as long as it took.

His eyes were closed when Wei Ying awoke, his attention focused solely on his song. His expression was one his younger self rarely wore, but these days wore all too often. That touch of deep sorrow, of grief.

The white he wore had been funerary for a long time, now.

Each note is focused in his mind several notes ahead of what he's playing, the music almost etched into the back of his eyelids. He plays the song he played in the Tortoise of Slaughter's cave, the song he heard on Dafan mountain. He's only played it a few times, in between, and only in isolation. There are other songs he could play - perhaps should play - but he keeps coming back to this one. It's burned into his memory just like everything else about Wei Wuxian is.

He doesn't look up. He doesn't look over. He listens for any movement, any voice. But until then, he'll play until he physically no longer can.

Wuxian had joked how the Lan Sect always looked like they were ready for a funeral, but none more than Lan Wangji with his perfect robes of white and stony demeanor. Only when Wangji left the Cloud Recesses did he seem to wear any color at all.

It's that song, played back at the Tortoise's Cave, that catches and holds his attention, coaxes him to do more than just lie there after a few minutes. He still doesn't know the name of it. He glances over, not turning his head just yet, then frowns, seeing the strange expression on the other man's face.

He's never seen the like on Lan Zhan before, and it doesn't sit right with him. So he struggles to sit up, gritting his teeth with the effort just to push himself back against the headboard.

The playing came to an abrupt halt as Lan Zhan's eyes flashed open, his hands immediately going to the strings to keep them still. His expression had returned to its usual impassiveness, and he slowly, slowly turned his head to look at the man on the bed.

The tension in his shoulders slowly eased, and with one smooth movement of his arm, the guqin disappeared. He stood, slowly and carefully, ignoring the soreness in his limbs as he stepped over towards Wei Ying.

He'd never been great with words. Not like Wei Ying. He seemed to always know what to say - or, at least, to just keep saying things until something worked. Lan Zhan had never had that ability. Even when he knew he wanted to say something, if it wasn't business - if it wasn't important - if it had anything to do with his feelings - he struggled.

He was struggling now.

It took him a few seconds before: "How are you feeling?"

He's breathing harder by the time he's settled, but he ignores it as he works to right the world. His eyes closed by the time he's half up, squeezed shut with the strain, but reopen when he hears Lan Zhan stand and approach.

Wei Ying absently rubs at the side of his head with the heel of a hand, debating just how honest to be. He doesn't know where they are...but also doesn't particularly care.

But eventually he glances back up at his friend, seeing the struggle in familiar eyes. "...Sore, but...Better. Lan Zhan...Thank you."

The last of the tension that Lan Zhan had been holding in his shoulders and his spine released. He knew Wei Ying meant it, when he said thank you. He hadn't known what to expect - had spent 16 years imagining what it would be like if they met again - but he never imagined this.

He had a hundred thousand questions but couldn't voice any of them.

His fingers twitched, wanting to fuss, wanting to make sure Wei Ying was okay, but he'd already done what he could. His friend needed rest. Needed time. He would give as much as he could.

He knew Wei Ying would have questions, and he would answer the ones he knew, but he didn't know the answer to most of them.

He watched Wei Ying for another long few seconds, and then stepped away, walking over to the strange, large window at the end of the room and drawing back the curtains. A colourful, insane vision welcomed him once more. The city of Jeopardy, a city of light unlike anything he'd ever seen. He turned his back to it, his white robes silhouetted against the dark desert sky and the neon. His face held the questions he hadn't been able to bring voice to.

But one finally managed to come out.

"How long?"

How long since you've been here? How long since you've seen me? How long have you been alive?

For all Wei Ying's flippancy, irrepressible behavior, he never apologizes or thanks someone for no reason. It's always in earnest.

He sighs quietly and rests his head back against the headboard, letting his eyes close again as he focuses on breathing. It's easy to track Lan Zhan and his movements around the room. Somewhat peaceful, more so than he's had in...a while.

When he hears robes swish with Wangji's turn, and two simple words that carry so many questions, he grimaces but opens his eyes to give the other man the attention he deserves. But the grimace falls short and he frowns, brow furrowing as he thinks...there are more questions in those familiar eyes than he'd expected.

"...Lan Zhan...? I fell...yesterday. Then woke up here."

Yesterday.

Lan Zhan's face was usually a study in impassion, calm, poise. Elegance. It rarely slipped more than the most minute fraction, emotion never quite making it to his face despite his heart.

Thus it meant far more than it might for most, when his expression faltered - when the briefest flash of pain crossed his features before it could be helped.

Yesterday. Yesterday, and then here. Sixteen years gone in an instant.

He wished, more than ever, that he'd had a chance to speak to Wei Ying after Dafan Mountain. That he hadn't been brought here, instead.

His eyes flickered, fell, found the floor. What was there to say? What could he possibly say?

Wasn't this a strange impossible answer to the thing he'd always wanted most? To find Wei Ying after the battle, alive, in the Burial Mounds?

It took an impossibly long time for him to reply, or at least it felt like that.

"... I also woke here this morning."

That...isn't at all what he'd expected. Wei Ying watches the pain flicker over Wangji's face with confusion continuing to knit his brows together.

But he knows Lan Zhan well enough to know there is definitely something he's missing. Something important. So with an almost impatient (but more lethargic) wave of a hand (though he's trying to reign in the flickers of temper that he almost always feels these days), he sighs.

"Eeh...Lan Zhan...I'm too tired to drag whatever is bothering you out. Are you going to make me wait?"

He makes him wait.

Several long seconds, he makes Wei Ying wait, watching him with a solemn, unblinking gaze. He only ever speaks the truth, but sometimes that requires never speaking at all. Some things can't, or shouldn't, be said.

Some he couldn't bring himself to even if he tried.

But this... he's not sure that he can keep this to himself. As much as he should wish to. It would require him to pretend, and that is something can't - and wouldn't - do. So this is a truth that Wei Ying will have to know, sooner or later.

"Sixteen years." The words are as heavy as his gaze. "Since you fell."

Of course he does. But Wuxian gives him the silence he seems to need to figure out whether to answer or not. He stares right back, only using the minimum of energy to stay upright and with eyes mostly open.

He'd given everything he had to try and stop...to try and save...

But it wasn't enough.

And now he's here, wherever this strange city is with it's too bright lights and too loud sounds. And Lan Zhan...He shakes his head in denial, face somehow paling just a little more. Despite everything, he believes Lan Wangji wouldn't lie to him.

But. Then he's checking his arms for curse wounds, pushing sleeves up, lips moving soundlessly as he searches.

Eventually there's just the barest mutter. "...Nothing...how can there be nothing...?"

He doesn’t know the answer to the question, nor does he totally understand why Wei Ying is asking it. He clearly hasn’t possessed another body - he’s clearly himself - barely aged a day from the moment Lan Zhan lost him.

He has no answers. To any of this. Not why they were here. Not where they were. Not how to get home.

Not how Wei Wuxian was alive.

So he stood silently for a long moment, before slowly walking to the other side of the room. There were plenty of odd decorations but there was one in particular he was looking for. When he had asked the front desk for liquor, they had told him of the “minibar” located in their room. It had taken a moment of confusion and a pointed look from Wangji before they actually managed to explain what one was. A cold box.

He opened a few cabinets before he found it, cold air wafting out of the small black container, full of little bottles. None of them were wines he recognized - in fact they seemed to be mostly spirits - so he merely selected one of each type, pulled his sleeve up like a bowl, and carried them back to Wei Ying. He then laid them down carefully next to him as if it was some sort of offering.

“‘Jeopardy’,” he offered, enunciating the word clearly. “There are no cultivators here. In this city, or this world. Only us.”

Stranger things have happened. He could only think this is his body. And the resurrection curse is the only thing he can think of to do this, though generally he should have been put in another's body instead, and looked nothing like himself.

Then he'd woken here, with all his wounds and pain in tact. And now, Lan Wangji is telling him the strangest things on top of the rest. And acting...well. He guesses the other man is acting as usual. He's vaguely aware as Wangji moves around, opening various doors.

...Then he blinks down at the bottles Wangji brings over, surprise naked on his face for a long moment while Lan Zhan speaks, then huffs out a weary little laugh and finds a small smile for the effort. "Only us?" He echoes thoughtfully. "Well. I guess it doesn't matter here." He selects one of the bottles, not paying much attention to which he actually opens, and takes a gulp.

"Mm. Lan Zhan. Any theories on why just the two of us were brought here?"

Lan Zhan frowned - a very slight difference of the angle of his lips - and then carefully reached into his sleeve to pull out the folder he had been provided at the Porter building.

"I do not know," was the short answer, but he took out a sheet of paper, placing it down next to him, pointing to the part where it said Welcome, Heroes.

"A summoning?" It was a wild guess, but it was all he had. And it made far more sense for Wei Wuxian than for him. He was still alive.

The slight difference is obvious to someone so familiar with Lan Zhan and all his minute expressions. Wei Ying scoffs at the paper and looks away in bitter disgust.

"I'm no hero. You fit in better here." After all...how many times has Wangji appeared and helped him, even when he shouldn't? Especially recently. He's lost count.

But the reminder of just how horribly he'd failed is not welcome. He swallows another big gulp of alcohol, willing it to deaden the pain faster.

Wangji shifted very slightly, his discomfort with the situation read mostly in a fresh tension in his shoulders, a slight tightness in his brow. He didn't say anything. What could he say? He'd never managed to voice to Wei Ying how he felt about any of it - happy to let the other man fill his silence instead.

But of everyone he'd ever met, everyone he's ever known, Wei Wuxian was the most noble and honourable and heroic of them all. There wasn't even a comparison. Wei Ying had destroyed himself to save others, those that no one else would protect.

Before, he simply wouldn't have said anything. Before, he only voiced his concern, rather than his appreciation. And he regretted it more than anything. If he'd only been more supportive, if he hadn't pushed Wei Ying and tried to fix him rather than be with him--

"No." A firm word, to the second statement rather than the first. He picked the paper back up, and put it away. "They must have known."

They must have known how much Wei Wuxian cared, how hard he fought. How valiant. They knew, and they brought him back. It was the only thing he could accept.

Wei Ying purposely doesn't look, not sure he even wants to know what the other man thinks. He doubts it's anything positive. He doubts Lan Zhan agrees with him. And the stony silence reinforces that doubt.

One more big gulp, and that's the first bottle gone. He's hardly noticed the taste- a shame, a quiet part of him says. He's reaching blindly for another bottle when the other man surprises him. He blinks and slowly peeks up at Lan Zhan, lips parted just a little.

One breath. Two.

But then he sighs and slowly shakes his head. "If they know that, then they should know I do not want to be here. That's why I forced you to let me fall."

Wangji’s eyes fell to the floor, the grief pulling tight in his chest.

There were a lot of questions he wanted to ask, and every single one of them he knew he didn’t want the answers to. If Wei Wuxian was still determined to fall from that cliff...

Abruptly, he reached out, grabbing one of the bottles, snapping it open and then drinking the whole thing in one go.

Death is a tempting lure. Free of pain. Free of all the whispers that reach his ears, laying doubt and blame on his name that he'd had nothing to do with. And the people he'd given everything for...are all gone. Dead. Long dead, by Lan Zhan's own announcement. Stabbing his heart all over again.

Wei Ying blinks, eyes growing wide when Wangji abruptly opens a bottle and drinks it all. A weird sense of familiarity settles over him and he makes his sore body move, a quiet gasp of dismay...of worry, escaping and reaches to make sure if...when Lan Wangji falls...he'll land on the bed. "Lan Zhan!"

Though this wasn't the first time he'd drank since Wei Wuxian fell, he still hadn't managed to get much better with his liquor. He stood very still for a long moment, holding the bottle, and then dropped it uncerimoniously to bounce on the carpet below.

A second later, he sat down heavily on the bed beside Wei Ying.

That was all that mattered. He was sitting beside Wei Ying. Everything else was secondary, right now.

He blinked, slowly, letting out a long breath, and then turning his gaze on Wei Ying.

"No cliffs."

Wei Ying lets out a quiet breath of relief when Lan Zhan sits next to him, though keeps a steadying hand on his shoulder to make sure he doesn't just fall over.

Two words. Simple, and yet...they make him feel strange. Someone...Even just one person. Does not want him to die. It leaves him staring at Wangji, eyes wide and clearly troubled. Not joking, or teasing.

Eventually though he pats Lan Zhan on the shoulder and shakes his head a little, gaze flicking away. "Aah...Lan Zhan...Lay down. Get some sleep."

Wangji stares at him, eyes half lidded but unblinking. He can see it. The disbelief on Wei Ying’s face. But how could he know? How could he know the depth of regret he held, for that night?

How could he know that a part of him had died with Wei Wuxian? He wasn’t there to see it.

16 years ago, he would have shrugged the hand off his shoulder. He still would, were it anyone else. But now the feel of Wei Ying’s hand - solid, real - was something he so desperately wanted that he couldn’t even bring himself to push it away. He didn’t encourage it, either - even if he had the stupid urge to take it in his own. That was an impulse too far. But letting it rest on his shoulder... that he could get away with, he thought. That was alright.

Wei Ying didn’t answer him. Not really. He hadn’t thought he would. As much as he wanted Wei Ying to swear to him - to promise to live - he didn’t expect it. But his eyes fell when he didn’t get it, despite himself, and he turned his head away.

The effect of the alcohol was hitting him hard already, making his head foggy and his eyelids heavy.

“It isn’t nine,” he replied, a hint of petulance he wouldn’t normally show slipping into his tone.

But, even as he protested, his head bowed further, his chin sinking. A second later, Lan Zhan was asleep, still sitting upright, perched on the edge of Wei Ying’s bed.

Too much pain. Too full of grief. Wei Wuxian hadn't been able to see any other action but to through himself off that cliff. He'd wanted nothing else, either.

But now he's here. And Lan Wangji is here, making such a fuss over him, seeming to see more in him than anyone else. Supplying him with liquor, a place to recover...checking his wounds and bolstering his pitiful amount of spirit energy to speed his healing along.

The petulant tone startles a little laugh from Wuxian though before he gasps in worry as Wangji clearly falls asleep. He sighs, shaking his head in wry affection before tugging and twisting his friend until Lan Zhan is stretched out on the bed. Even if the toll on himself is a return of some of the physical pain, everything complaining at every move. He takes a moment to breathe, then moves on to take their boots off, then back up and adjusts his friend to the proper sleep position of the Lan Sect, arms folded over his chest and perfectly straight on top of the covers.

He collapses next to Wangji then, limbs trembling with the effort, but it doesn't matter. He gives himself another few minutes before propping himself up and checking his friend over one more time. And gently moves some hair from Wangji's face, unable to help the fond little smile.

He blows out a breath and eventually forces himself from the bed, snagging another of the bottles of liquor to take with him to the window where he leans against the wall beside it.
