SUMMER 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:

Hot Summer Time!

Summer has arrived and you know what that means: It's time to head out and spend some time at the beach, lounging on its bluish, almost purple sand, going for a swim or gathering some of the fat, green lobsters just wandering around the beach. They may be tasty, but remember that their pinch is toxic. It won’t kill you but it will definitely have the pinched body part swelling up and itching like a bad wool sweater.

If hunting for food isn't what you came here for, then sunbathing is always an option. Even if the color seems odd, this sand, also, likes to go literally everywhere.

Simply hopping into the water is also rarely a bad idea. This close to the coast there are no harmful creatures in the water, so whether you brought a swim suit, hop in fully clothed or have no care in the world about who might stumble over you naked, Agra 10's ocean is yours to play in.

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!

Not too different, no. We all talk to each other and make sure we're all on the same page, most of the time. So far it's worked out pretty well.

[she can tell there's some fear lingering there, and no small wonder, for someone so young to be brought here. she gives Omega an understanding smile]

The device you're using has a map on it ... it should tell you where you are. I can come and meet you if you like. Show you a few places. There's fresh ice cream here at the diner...

[The smile is returned with one hesitant but no less genuine.]

I'd like that. Let me see...

[The camera shifts a bit as she readjusts her hold on the tablet so she can find the map function.]

What's ice cream?

It's a cold, sweet dessert made out of milk and fruit. Real nice in warm weather like this.

Map should be on the bottom right hand corner, it's the icon with the little pin in it.

Got it!

[She smiles as she taps at the icon, pulling up the map.]

It's something cold? And sweet? I'd like to try it.

I...guess I'm by the...university? It looks like there was a building next to it at some point, but it's gone.

Alright, I know where you mean. Be there soon. I'm the redhead with the ponytail.

[as promised, she jogs up soon enough, waving and smiling. there's a small bag dangling from her arm, about the size of a wide-mouth thermos]

Hey, there. Ready for a tour?

[The girl hops down from a broken wall she'd taken to sitting on. She smiles back, offering a wave.]

A tour sounds great!

Alright! So, you already know the plaza, where the first data point is, obviously. There's a map on your phone, so if you see any places you wanna remember, you can mark them.

[she took hers out and showed her how to pull it up, as they began to walk.]

From here we can go a couple different ways. You want to see the hangar first, or where folks are livin'?

[Marking off places of interest certainly sounds handy. Omega's a quick study as she copies what Clarice does.]

Um. Maybe where everyone lives? I guess I should find a place to stay if I'm going to be here a while.

Sounds good. Before we do that...

[she opens up the thermos and takes a thin waffle cone filled with gooseberry swirl ice cream. she'd wadded napkins up in the bottom to keep it from tipping]

I brought you a welcome present. Some've that ice cream.

[She'd been wondering about the thermos, so when Clarice finally opens it up Omega looks on with eager curiosity. Her eyes light up at the dessert.]

I've never seen anything like it! It almost looks too nice to eat.

[she starts leading the way toward the tower and the other residences, glancing back over her shoulder every few moments so that Omega can hear her, and to make sure she's following]

There're a lot of folks here who'd never heard of it. Believe me, there's plenty more where that came from. Don't worry. I make more every few days since it's been so hot.

You made this? Wow...

[She's holding it carefully, enjoying the coolness that seeps through the cone. As she walks along after the woman, she finally samples the ice cream with a tentative lick.]

Mm!

[She needs no further encouragement to continue with it after.]

Is it difficult to make? I wish I could share some with Wrecker. He'd love it.

Not hard to make at all, but you need access to ice and milk of some kind. A few of the folks I know here can't get one or the other where they're from.

Your friend's named Wrecker? Is he clumsy, then?

Ice and milk...

[She tilts her head thoughtfully at that as she samples another bit.]

Oh, not really. He likes breaking things. And blowing things up.

Is this part edible?

[She taps at the cone, looking a little sheepish as she holds a bit of the edge that had broken off.]

Sounds like life's never boring with him around.

[Clarice grinned, continuing to lead the way through the ruined city.]

Watch out over here, the boards are a little soft. Still on the list to be replaced. ... And yeah, you can absolutely eat that. It's called a waffle cone. Sweet, thin bread, basically.

That's for sure.

[Omega grins back. She takes care where Clarice points out where to walk.

After contemplating the bit of broken off cone, she pops it into her mouth.]

Mm!

Not bad, huh! That's a thinner version of what a real waffle is, though. Real waffles are for breakfast, you have a few of 'em in a big pile with butter and syrup. I'm still working on the recipe for that. Gotta find a substitute for bakin' powder to make 'em fluffy.

[once over the walkway, they're not too far from the Towers, and Clarice points]

That's where I live, right up there. If you squint you can see my window, the one with the green cloth hangin' in it. ... What sort of things did you do back home, Omega?

Is it sweet like this?

[She gasps a little as she realizes her ice cream is melting enough to start to dribble from the break in her cone, quickly setting to work to try licking it up. Once that's handled, she looks towards the building Clarice indicates.]

I'd go on missions with the rest of my squad. Mostly we've just been trying to find ways to make credits for now. Things have changed a lot.
