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!

Steve looked over at the woman and for a second thought about Peggy. Not because she looked like her or sounded like her. There was just something in the way she held herself and spoke. It instantly put him at ease in a way it probably shouldn't considering he hadn't known either woman very long.

"Not at all, ma'am," he said cordially, getting to his feet as a gentleman should to greet her. He glanced behind her and saw the trap before grinning.

"Catchin' dinner for yourself?"

"Myself and everyone else," she smiled, holding out a free hand, charmed by his manners. "Clarice Starling. Nice to meet you. You like seafood?"

He ducked his head with a light flush on his cheeks. "I would never say no to something like that, ma'am. Lobster is way outside of me and Buck's budget. I dunno if I ever had one."

He glanced at the trap as though to see if it had already been tripped.

"I could help you with the cooking process if you needed, ma'am. My ma raised me to earn my supper so I'll do whatever you need."

"Oh, you don't have to call me ma'am," she insisted, smiling. "Clarice will do just fine. And if you've never had lobster, you've definitely got to try these. They're a little sweeter than the American sort. Great with a little butter, and we've got some nice vegetables to steam up with 'em. Tell you what, help me swim these out a little ways so we can catch the bigger ones, and we can get to know each other while we wait for 'em to fill up."

Steve nodded, eager to help. He walked over to grab one of the traps and then started to paddle it out, deeper but still not so deep that the lobsters would stop travelling around. He paddled back and slicked his hair out of his eyes so he could get confirmation that's what she wanted.

It was then that he realized he'd been inexcusably rude.

"Oh. I'm sorry ma'a- Clarice. I never gave my name. Steve Rogers. From Brooklyn, New York which might explain our accent differences." He smiled, trying to show he'd meant it kindly.

Clarice brought her own trap out, a little ways down the beach from him, anchoring it on a cluster of rocks at the bottom. When she saw him looking for her, she gave him a thumbs up.

"That's okay, Steve, this is a beach, not a boardroom." She chuckled as she swam back up to him. "Brooklyn, huh? Nice. I've only been to New York once: it was definitely memorable. I was born in West Virginia, but I traveled a bit all over the US for work before my beau and I moved abroad."

"Your beau." He frowned a little at that, eyes radiating sympathy. "I'm sorry. It must not be easy being separated from him, here. Unless he...also happened to be taken? But from what I hear, that's not the usual case."

"Yeah, no." She shook her head, smiling despite the hole in her heart. "It's a good thing, though, believe me. He'd absolutely hate it here. ... You have anyone special?"

Steve flushed at the question, a few faces coming to mind, but shook his head. "No. Nothing like that. I'm not exactly popular with ladies in my world. My best friend keeps tryin' to set up dates but... No. No one special. Which is perhaps all the better since there's no way of knowing how long I'll be here."

"Nice man like you? Really? They're not lookin' at you right." She gave him a kind smile. She could see why some women would pass him by - a stiff breeze could probably knock him over - but that wasn't a measure of his heart or mind.

Steve flushed even brighter and ducked his head to try and hide it. "That's what my friend Bucky says all the time. I don't know about that. I can imagine they'd want a fella that isn't a little twig."

"Bucky?" She paused, remembering the name from her time in SHIELD in the false City. If it was the same man, she hoped Steve already knew ... but if he didn't, he deserved to. "You don't happen to mean Bucky Barnes, do you?"

Steve looked at her, eyes wide before narrowing. "How.... How do you know his last name?"

Before he even said the words, the answer was coming to him. How else would she know his name?

"He's here?"

"Yep. I don't know him too well, sadly, but I've seen him around at a couple've the meetings. He seems like he keeps mostly to himself. Bet he'd be glad to see a familiar face..."

Steve wasn't sure if he wanted to smile or cry hearing that. Bucky was here too. That meant that he could see him. Talk to him. Steve already itched for a way to reach out and track him down.

"And he's...he's good? Okay? Last I saw him he was going to war..."

"Yeah, he's ... a little quiet. I think that might be the war talking. It's been a long time, for him, I'm pretty sure." She mostly knew his alternate self, and intended to fix that, but Bucky was a hard person to get to come out for socializing.

"Somethin' tells me he'll be real glad to see you, though, Steve."

Quiet? That was an interesting way to describe Bucky. Steve frowned a little at that, concerned about what was keeping him so quiet. But even with that bit of a downer, Steve couldn't help but be excited and eager to see his friend again.

"I sure hope so. It'll be real awkward if I did something boneheaded a year from now and he hates me."

"Time and tide heal a lotta things, honey." She gave him a reassuring smile. "I'm pretty sure even if you did, if you're as close as you say, he won't give it another thought."

Depending on which Bucky he ran into first, of course, she could be either so very right or colossally wrong.
