FALL TDM (PSL is life but TDM is bae)

[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...

[Okay, now he's going to laugh at that last part.]

Quentin Beck. As in Mysterio. As in the guy Spider-Man's beat up like a hundred times? You don't have any powers.

[itsamysterio]

[That smile tightens. What. How- WHAT. He gives a puzzled look, brow furrowing.]

I don't- What are you talking about? Spider-Man's never- I know the kid. He's a good egg. We worked together to save Venice.

[doubled_speed]

Yeah, Spider-Man would NEVER work WITH one of the Sinister Six. It's just not real. You're a terrible liar.

[itsamysterio]

Sinister Six?

[There's genuine confusion on his face.]

[doubled_speed]

Yeah. You, Doc Oct, Electro, Green Goblin, someone else. I don't know, I'm not Billy. He's nerd enough to name them all or some such.

[itsamysterio]

I don't- I've never heard of any of those people-

[He squints in confusion before shaking his head.]

I don't know who you think I am, but where I'm from, I'm a hero. Same as Spider-Man, same as any of the Avengers. I fought to save my Earth.

[doubled_speed]

[Tommy snorts in amusement.]

Yeah, and my grandpa Ultron ONLY means to dress up in french maid outfits and serve pina coladas.

[itsamysterio]

Ultron doesn't have- [He cuts himself off with a frustrated sigh. This kid is going to be a problem.]

I'm not who you think I am, Kid. All right? I just want to get back where I was before it's too late. Same as you.

[doubled_speed]

Are you going to say Ultron doesn't have grandkids? Yeah, he doesn't get me Christmas gifts, but you can't judge who my family is or isn't, dude.

[itsamysterio]

As far as I'm aware, no, the crazed murder-bot did not have family. I'm not exactly an expert on the family lines of every villain the Avengers ever faced in that reality though, so what do I know? Congrats on the eclectic family tree.

[doubled_speed]

Dude, I can't even begin to tell you how messed up it is. So, what, you supposed to be alt-world Beck?

Bet you're evil there too.

[itsamysterio]

[Jesus, is all that multiverse crap true???

He raises his palms to try and calm the situation, buying himself a second to think.]

You know about the Multiverse?

[doubled_speed]

[Oh man, so fucking true.]

Oh hell yeah. Of course. Billy and Teddy apparently went on a SUPER multiverse trip after a cosmic-horror-abomination kidnapped me and took them on a merry chase.

They've seen shit. Oh, and then there are people here from other universes than mine with the Avengers. Like a Wanda that isn't my Wanda. And MULTIPLE versions of Captain America.

[itsamysterio]

[That...that is going to be a whole thing to deal with. But he can have that existential crisis later, when he's done with the kid.]

Well, then you know. My world, Earth-833, I fought to save it. We failed, and I got pulled to a different Earth, one where the same creatures that destroyed my world- my family- were starting their work again. And I have to get back to them to make sure it doesn't happen.

[doubled_speed]

[Good thing he didn't claim 616. Tommy would have laughed in his face.]

The Avengers will take care of it. It'll be fine.

[itsamysterio]

The Avengers that are still around are scattered or off world. Fury called me in. And the kid. That world needs someone to step up and fill Iron Man's shoes.

[doubled_speed]

Yeah, I think Tony can take care of himself. You can just ask him. I'll find Stark to have him tell you that.

[itsamysterio]

[Beck pauses and frowns faintly.]

...Stark's dead.

[doubled_speed]

[Yep. Laughter. Loud and hard.]

Yeah, and I'm the long lost son of Captain America.

[itsamysterio]

[Beck looks well and truly confused, a dead serious look on his face.]

Stark's dead. He died stopping Thanos.

[doubled_speed]

[Yeah, that may be true in Beck's world...]

Plenty of people have stopped Thanos. Stark isn't dead. Stark's here. He's teaching me science. Sorta.

[itsamysterio]

[It's difficult to keep a neutral- if surprised- expression when you're grinding your teeth as hard as Beck is..]

...He's here? That's-...great. [God it pains him to say that.] We can use all the help we can get.

[doubled_speed]

Yeah. He's a fucking genius. He's going to figure out how to get us home. And you're, what? Going to prance around in a fishbowl cursing spiderman?

[itsamysterio]

[Would anyone miss this kid if he just strangled him here and now? Beck smiled stiffly.]

I'll do whatever I can to help. And maybe eventually you'll believe me when I tell you that's all I want.

[doubled_speed]

[As if you could.]

Oh, I'll give you a chance. And if you betray us, I'll blow you up.
