Summer Test Drive Meme!

[trpmods]

Welcome to the Current Test Drive for The Revival Project!

This game is a spin-off from the closed The Drift Fleet game. For more information about the game, including more details on the setting, please check out the FAQ here or the premise here.

A thread on the TDM will be required for all applications. Please view the FAQ for information about how this works. Any questions about the game please direct to the comment section of the FAQ as well.

If you are a Drift Fleet alumni bringing your character from the game, please label your character as 'DFAU' on your top level. Also, keep in mind you have complete flexibility on how your character comes here. They could be taken before endgame, after endgame, two years after, one year before, etc. It's up to you! If you want to completely restart your character, they're not considered DFAU anymore and won't need the label.

So go! Explore Agra 10! And, as always, HAVE FUN!

Thread ideas:

- Explore the city! There's a map here and a bit more description of some of the buildings here. Most of the buildings are run down and have clearly been abandoned for years; fortunately, the water treatment center appears to be working, but power is intermittent and unreliable. The hotel seems to be the most crowded, but you might want into what appears to be an abandoned storefront and find someone else scavenging or even sleeping.

- There are spaceships! That's right, there are currently several small spaceships grounded in the hangar. They appear to have power, but only one ship will let you enter. (For test drive purposes, the ship that will let you enter is up to you, so just pick whichever name appeals, and go for it!) The other ships won't open for you, but it might be worth poking around the one that will...

- Do you hear a storm? A giant, power-altering storm has been ravaging part of the planet for a month. It shows ghosts of people you know and those you don't. It drains you of any super-human abilities and tries its best to keep you from getting to its origin. Are you going to try anyways? Or are you going to chase the whispers of people from your past? More information can be found here.

- Can you hear me now? Upon arrival, your character will have on their person a small, handheld communications device. Maybe they know exactly how to use a computer, smartphone, or tablet, and immediately blast out a text or video trying to figure out what's going on. Or maybe they're not so tech-savvy after all, and everyone is about to get a lovely shot right up your character's left nostril.

- Wildcard! You're welcome to use any previous test drive scenarios or previous game events as a basis for a thread/situation, or simply make up your own! Keep in mind that you're currently stranded on a planet with only basic necessities, but there is enough food and fresh water. Creature comforts, however, seem to be distinctly lacking...

[sinistral]

It suits us. As we suit each other.

[Something not many would understand.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki looks bemused. ]

Yes. Though I imagine it's not the most flattering of titles.

[ he waves a flippant hand. ]

Don't mind what I said earlier. I know my magic is strong.

[sinistral]

I don't care for the flattery of others.

[Doesn't need it; he knows where he stands with Loki. And what care have they for the opinions of others?]

I know it as do you. And you know I'd trust my life to it without question.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki reaches out to tuck a lock of bucky's hair behind his ear. ]

I know.

[sinistral]

[He turns into that touch, catching Loki's hand and pressing it to his cheek.]

Damn, but I missed you.

[dothelokimotion]

[ the corners of his lips twitch. ]

Too many morally upright people in your corner?

[sinistral]

How'd you guess?

[He doesn't bother to stop the smirk crawling across his lips.]

There's a distinct lack of mischief here.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki shakes his head, bemused. ]

Utterly tragic.

[sinistral]

[Loki you know you've missed him, even if it's only been a matter of moments for you.]

Once I get you in private, we should cause some.

[dothelokimotion]

[ shhh. ]

Oh? What do you have planned?

[sinistral]

[N E V E R]

After showing you the pathetic excuse for a dwelling I've claimed? I think you promised me some magic.

[dothelokimotion]

Ah, I see. This is a ploy to display some tricks.

[sinistral]

Not just tricks.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he inclines his head at bucky. ]

Not just.

[sinistral]

[He leans in, one hand at Loki's cheek and lips brushing across his forehead. It's an echo of affections Loki has shown him.]

This is no trick.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki shivers, his eyes hooded. ]

You have never been a trick. Your fingerprints are all over my heart.

[sinistral]

You know I'm nothing but clumsy in this.

[A warning, but he knows that Loki will know his struggle with emotion.]

But please. Come back with me.

[dothelokimotion]

Who cares for certainty?

[ not loki. better to tilt into chaos and the unknown. ]

I'm here for you.

[sinistral]

I have what I need in certainty.

[The trust they have for each other, built up even more in the time they’ve been together.]

I still can’t believe it. I keep expecting something to snatch you away from me.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki hums. it is a fear he harbors in himself. loss hits them doubly. ]

Who would dare?

[sinistral]

I would kill anything that tried.

[Viciously. With nothing held back.]

[dothelokimotion]

And leave none for me?

[ still, it leaves loki with a pleasant glow on his expression. he tucks a finger under bucky's chin. ]

I won't leave without you. I am not whole without you.

[sinistral]

Would I be so cruel?

[Loki can easily move his head, and his eyes catch and hold Loki’s. They share so much like this, in between spoken words.]

You know I feel the same.

[dothelokimotion]

No. Not you.

[ loki presses their foreheads together, a quiet sigh. ]

[sinistral]

Not to you.

[For a long moment he stays there, pressed together, close enough to feel the quiet puff of each other’s breath.]

We will tear down this cage piece by piece, show them why they never should have messed with us.
