Summer Test Drive Meme!




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...

[That's a point Cal has to concede as well.]

Although even with the convenience of communicators, they're still not completely reliable. But for what they're made for, they serve well enough.

I'm not sure what Pai Sho is to help you in that, but I know at least that there are others who enjoy tea here, and probably wouldn't say not to sharing a cup with you.

You don't know Pai sho? That is a shame, it is a truly wonderful game. If I had all of my tiles and a board I would have been glad to show you.

It is good to hear that there are others that can appreciate a good cup of tea. Sharing tea with a fascinating stranger is one of life's true delights.

I'll admit, I don't know many games in general. Maybe we can find some things to make a set.

[He laughs a little then.]

You sure have an interesting outlook. It's very refreshing.

Perhaps, it is a game of strategy and resources, so it would be fitting.

Thank you, I find that being a breath of fresh air not only helps others to enjoy their day but for you to enjoy yours as well.
out_of_order: (heard that before)

[personal profile] out_of_order 2020-09-05 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
I can see how that works. Sound advice too. It's all too easy to get caught up in other things around here.

My name's Cal Kestis. It's nice to meet you.

[personal profile] truehumili_tea 2020-09-05 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
It is nice to meet you as well Cal Kestis. My name is Iroh.

You can just call me Cal.

We're not all that big in number here, but we try to look out for each other. If there's anything or any help you might need, just ask.

[personal profile] truehumili_tea 2020-09-07 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Cal, that is much easier thank you.

I will be certain to accept such a generous offer and would like to extend the same to you as well. Should you ever need the advice or help of an old man I will be willing to lend an ear.

[personal profile] out_of_order 2020-09-07 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you sir. I'll definitely keep that in mind.
