WINTER TEST DRIVE MEME


WINTER TEST DRIVE MEME
Application FAQ | Taken Characters | Reserves | Application

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!
Here's a map 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. What used to be stores or places to live in lies in ruins, but there may still be something to scavenge among the rubble. Do you want to risk a swim in the flooded area that has turned into a deep lake that has yet to be fully explored; or does it draw you to some of the more prominent and partially restored buildings, such as the hotel, the hospital or the amphitheater.

If you are lucky, you might even stumble over The Deep End, the bar located on one of the mid-levels of the tower residences in one of the residence towers. Unfortunately no bright neon signs can lead you there, but it does exist.

Visit the spaceships!
That's right, there are currently several small spaceships grounded in the hangar - Or what remains of them. It's painfully obvious that these ships have crash-landed not too long ago and were taken back to the hangar for repairs. You were assigned to one of them and its doors will open for you and let you enter if you wish. (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 as neither of them look as if they will be leaving anytime soon that doesn't really matter either way.

Maybe look around anyway. Or try your hand at some repairs?

Try the network!
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.

There be storms...
These power-altering storms keep ravaging parts of the planet every once in a while. No one truly knows where they come from or what to do about them yet, but one of them appears to be approaching. You have the option to find shelter in one of the buildings to wait for it to pass. Unless, of course, you rather feel drawn to investigate.

Should you step inside the storm, or even get lost in it, it will show 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? Maybe you will simply find yourself calling for help or stumble across another lost soul in need of assistance.

More information can be found here.

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. Quite unlike a gathering of potentially dangerous creatures to encounter. The setting is yours to explore and have fun with!

"They were one of the few things I did see," she said with a soft laugh. "I spent some time on a sheep and horse ranch as a child, so seeing them felt like a bit of a sign that I'd be okay, strange as that might sound."

"We had animals at Winterfell," Sansa agrees. "Though I didn't learn how to tend animals until I came to Agra. Queens aren't normally out in the pens with sheep and pigs. I guess if I get sent back again I ought to surprise everyone with my newfound knowledge."

"You were a queen? Goddamn," she smiles as they approach the hotel doors. The valet recognizes her and nods in greeting, pulling the door open for her and Sansa. "I hope the title came with some clout to it. You seem like a woman who knows which way the wind blows."

It was in the way she carried herself, Starling decided. A certain sort of age in the eyes that she recognized from the mirror: wisdom gained the hard way.

"Queen of the entire North and all its houses," Sansa confirms. "A heavy title, to be certain, but it is my birthright. I have a responsibility there that I don't have here and admittedly, I like being free of it for a while. I like being just me."

Sansa is grateful they've made it to the hotel because James is still fussy and she thinks a change and a nap will do him a world of good. "Thank you again for helping me. You didn't have to."

"Must be a lot of houses to look over," she agrees. Thankfully the elevator is near the door, and it's only a few floors up to the wing the Agrii had reserved for them. "And don't mention it, please. I'm happy to help. I can't do too much yet in the way of things like some of the folks who've been here longer, so ... being able to help is good."

If she hadn't already been here a week or so, Starling would be surprised to see that there is another plaque hanging on a door which says 'Reserved - Temba' which was not there this morning. But speaking to so many of the other He Rows has taught her that things change quickly and unexpectedly, here. She tries her key in the lock and is pleased when it works.

"Looks like this is your royal quarters, now," she says with a wink.

"Royal quarters indeed. I'll be happy to take anything I can get at this point just to get this boy inside and happy again."

When one is a mother, one's priorities suddenly shift depending on the mood of one's child and James is not happy.

"I don't know how I'll repay you."
thesepreciousthings: (cheeky)

"That's an easy one, you don't have to." She moved into the bathroom to wash her hands, speaking just over the rush of water and swish of soap. "I'll go down and flag room service to bring us something, give you a minute alone to settle him."

"I'll have to repay you," Sansa insists. "I won't let a good deed go without some sort of repayment. I have had too much ill will toward me in life to let someone good go without reward."
