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!

I'll be right there.

[the idiot doesn't even turn his phone off, he just holds on to it and sprints. so Gamora gets a very blurry, shaky-cam video of the route from the abandoned Arcade to the beach that she'll probably give up on within seconds. about ten minutes later, Peter jogs into view, gasping for breath.

even as he's fighting to fill his lungs, though, he's trying to strike the most suave I Have Arrived At The Beach To Complete Your Romance Novel pose ever against a tree at the edge of the dunes.]

H... hh.... hi there.

[wink.]

I can meet you somewhere.

[Possibly... She hasn't really explored too much of this place yet, aside from some basic scouting. It seems a moot point though as she tears her eyes away. While she isn't known for motion sickness, she also doesn't need to watch an out of focused feed, which is why Gamora does end up cutting hers off.

Her lips are pursed, arms crossed, watching people across the beach. It isn't her thing, although it's not like she spend her childhood swimming in lakes. At least not for pleasure. Possibly drowning in some test of Thanos... She catches the movement out of the corner of her eye, half turning, to watch as Peter approached.

Confusion filters across her face, wondering what is wrong with him, but Quill is Quill, and the stars only knew what he was seeking to accomplish as he huffs and puffs for air.]

Do you require a moment to... get over whatever you are doing?

I ... uh ... might've run over here.

[oh god, side cramp. he tries to pass it off as putting a hand on his hip all suave. the operative word here is 'tries'. the more important word is 'fails miserably']

Need to keep some space hunk from charming your socks off and all that. Especially since that's my job. ... You okay? Is anyone else with you?

I saw.

[Some of it, anyway, before she had turned of off. Yet it may earn a small twitch on her lips. There is relief at seeing him, having someone familiar, knowing that Quill could be more than a little persistent, which may bode well. He has a strange habit of getting out of stranger situations.

Her eyes glance him over, although aside from being somewhat out of shape, he looks otherwise the same as usual. The small roll of her eyes as she halts beside him.]

My socks are fine where they are.

[Although why someone would want to charm her socks off is beyond her. There is a shake of her head, as if to push that mental image away, and to also answer his question.]

There was no one else around when I arrived. ... where did you come from?

St. Charles, Missouri. [he doesn't even skip a beat on that one, grinning.]

But really, there's this whole ruined blasted-out city up over that hill. It's called Temba. These tall skinny pink alien wimps called the Agrii are bringing a bunch of people here because they want it all rebuilt. Think we're the ones to do it. I'm thinking if they wanted the Guardians they should've just grabbed the whole damn Milano, you know? Not drag us in one at a time like they're collecting Garbage Pail Kid cards.

Quill.

[Mild exasperation, but thankfully he does continue. Not that he makes complete sense, as Gamora is sometimes still lost with his Terran phrases. It is a quirk that she has come to expect with him.

Her eyes narrow, thinking.]

You... have been here longer than I?

[she's cute when she's that flavor of exasperated. mind, she's just plain cute.]

Yeah, it's ... been like, two months. I figured you were all looking for me. Or, you know, you'd just looted my stuff and sold it for gas money, fifty-fifty shot.

[Shh. Keep that to yourself, Peter. Else she may well just toss her hands up and walk away.]

We were just together- [Although she pauses on that wording, amending.] Yondu's funeral. You have not been missing for months.

[so she was from the same point in time. he frowns, reaching out to take her hand. the funeral had been difficult for all of them]

That was the last thing I remember, too. ... This is so weird.

[She pauses, before giving his hand a small squeeze back. She knew that the Ravager was more of a father to Quill than his actual one, although that wouldn't be too hard.]

It is strange. ... I cannot explain it.

Me, neither. But ... there are people here from the same world but different times. Maybe it has something to do with that. I'll have to ask.

[he thinks for a moment. Obi-Wan would probably know, he seems like a really smart guy who doesn't mind sharing the knowledge]

Have you found the glowy orb yet, the thing that looks kinda like the case for the Infinity Stone but isn't?

[She arches an eyebrow, wondering what Quill has been up to. Then again... Gamora would like to hope that it was something worthwhile.]

I... touched one.

[Not that she exactly had wanted to do that, yet there had almost been a compulsion, and before she knew it, it had been too late.]

It was- a different experience.

[really he hadn't been there long - just long enough to start to learn the lay of the land and explore]

Yeah, real creepy. I don't know if I liked it being all up in my head, but they had one that lets you pilot the ships they use here, so ... I touched that one too. ... Wanna see where I'm livin'? You can crash with me. Of course.

[he really, really hoped she'd want to. he'd missed her]

[She's contemplative with that information. They had worked with less in the past, although there had been more of them. Gamora may argue they could get a potato to cover their missing allies, but that would be a lie her on her part, mostly.]

... where are you living?

[If it's anything like the state of his ship when they first were aboard it...]
