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...

[Keith snorted. Of course Shiro would know that...

But, oh... right. The ring. Keith actually blushed as he brought his hand up to hold on to it. It was obvious then why he was wearing it on a chain. He had his gloves on, and that made it hard to wear a ring.]

Uh, yeah... it is.

I um... so, right. Remember how I said time is weird here, and that Lance and I have actually been here a lot longer?

[Yes, of course he would weird things like that.

At the question, he nodded]

Yeah, I remember.

Right. [Because it wasn't that long ago that he said it. Duh.] Well, uh... so... Me and Lance... we got close. Like... real close. [That blush was deepening a bit, but a tiny and very soft smile came up through it.] We're engaged.

Really? [There was a momentary pause as he processed that before he smiled] That's great! Congratulations! I'm excited for you guys.

[Keith hesitated for a moment and then nodded, but he smiled again when Shiro congratulated him.]

Thanks.

[He rubbed the back of his neck.]

We've been together a while, actually. But... not back home. It sounds weird, but we don't remember anything about this place when we've been home. Which is frustrating, honestly, but we've been together here since before I left for the Blades.

[Which might be weird for Shiro, considering Lance had been dating Allura back home up until... well... Keith didn't know about all that...]

Really? Wow. That's kind of interesting. Yeah, I can safely say that the two of you weren't together back home and certainly not at that point, but I'm glad that you found each other here.

[If they made each other happy, he wasn't going to say anything else about it]

[Keith smiled a little and then nodded.]

Thanks. It means a lot.

[Really. Shiro's approval on anything was majorly important to Keith, so having his support even in something like a relationship was honestly a huge comfort.]

[Shiro smiled back]

So have you set a date yet for the wedding?

[He was just glad that somehow in all this weirdness, he got to be here for Keith and Lance's wedding]

[Keith shook his head.]

It's probably gonna be something kind of last minute. This place is weird with how things happen. So, I think... we might just wait for a lull and give everyone a few days notice for a party or something. I know Lance will probably want something big, but I'm not sure how much of a big fancy wedding we could pull off right now.

Ah I see. Well, that makes sense. This is hardly the place or environment where one would be able to expect to be able to have a big wedding planned in advance. Especially something decides to happen and it can't really be averted or put off. Well, I will help however I can.

[He reached over to put his hand Keith's shoulder. He would definitely do everything he could to help]

Yeah... exactly.

[That familiar shoulder touch, though... Keith smiled back up at his friend... brother. They really were like brothers, and Keith loved Shiro. He'd gone from having a very lonely childhood, though not entirely unhappy while his dad was alive, to finally having the family he wanted and needed. He was grateful to have met everyone, and Shiro most of all.]

I really appreciate that. In a way, I'm glad you're here because I wouldn't want to have a wedding without you involved. [He brought his own hand up to grip the forearm of the hand on his shoulder.] You're my brother. I want you there.

[Yes, they were practically brothers. At this point, Shiro certainly considered them more than friends. It had been that way for a long time. He hadn't considered Keith only a friend for... he didn't even know anymore. He had done his best to make sure that Keith had a better life and had someone who cared about him rather than people who thought he was constantly causing problems. He had become Keith's biggest supporter, like a brother]

I would hope that you wouldn't have your wedding without me involved if you had the option. [He said this with a teasing smile. He glanced down at Keith's hand as he put it on his arm] You're my brother as well. I'm glad that I can be here for you.

[Keith smiled.]

Thanks.

{OOC: Wrap?}

[ooc: yeah I think that is a good place]
