Application FAQ | Taken Characters | Reserves | Application
Welcome to the first Test Drive for The Revival Project!
For those who do not know, this game is a spin-off from The Drift Fleet game, which is shortly closing. For more information about what this game is about, please check out the FAQ here or the premise here.
The TDM for the first round of applications is NOT required but is highly recommended. Really this is to see the interest level in the game as well as to have everyone interact on the new planet and with the new experiences offered here. There will be a post in the TDM where questions can be asked regarding the prompts/settings. We're keeping this loose though so go ahead and have fun with it. Any questions about the game please direct to the comment section of the FAQ.
If you are a Drift Fleet alumni, please label your character as 'DFAU' on your top level so we know. 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! The only option not allowed is to completely restart your character (because then it's not DFAU, is it?)
So go! Explore Agra 10! And, as always, HAVE FUN!
In the square near your arrival point, one building seems to be in fairly good repair. It’s large and stark white on every wall. Unlike the other buildings, all the lights are on and the windows looking out are intact. That alone would make it remarkable but it’s hardly the most noticeable thing once you step inside the open doorway.
Hanging against one wall is a piece of fabric that has ‘WHALE COMB!’ painted on it in drippy, fluorescent pink letters. A smiley is painted underneath it right on the wall with three eyes and long fangs. The fangs drip down all the way to the floor and the eyes are just a blob of paint, but whoever left it seems to have been trying, here. ‘US THANK THEY!’ is written beside it, barely legible. On every other wall is ‘EAT’ in various sizes and colors. They thankfully don’t drip as much as the smiley since, beneath them, are tables upon tables of food.
There are meats, fruits, root vegetables, and even what might be a sweet dessert of some sort as well. Bowls are full of them, apparently a welcome dinner for the Agrii’s new heroes. At the very least it will give everyone a quick crash course on what is edible around here. But some of it might have … adverse effects:
- People chomping down on the striped meat all seem to get very drowsy a few minutes later.
- The red fruit that looks like a giant cherry is the equivalent of a few shots - the more consumed, the more drunken this party is getting.
- There is a bowl of weeds that have small, daisy-like flowers all along the stalks. This tastes like chicken and gives the eater a sudden burst of energy that will have them running around the room like they’re being chased.
-There are a collection of drinks, some made from the red fruit, some that are clearly water, some that taste like a less-sweet lemonade with no effects, and then there's a blue one that tastes like an especially dark beer. People drinking this will find themselves incapable of lying for a half hour.
Of course, no way to know any of this before you chow down. So dig in and enjoy the show!
They said don’t go into the forest. If the noises there weren’t deterrent enough then the thick trees and lack of paths should have been. Yes, you’ll need food. Yes, both meat and many fruits are in the forest. But maybe you should have gotten some more information before heading in.
Congratulations: you went into the forest and are now lost. You can’t hear the murmurings from town, nor can you see any of the lights that might be flickering on and off in the city. How are you going to get back into town? How do you make sure that the creatures here don’t attack you? You probably don’t have any weapons, so you’d better figure something out quick.
Or, maybe you’ll get lucky and run into another foolish person wandering around out here. Try not to attack them - unless they attack first.
The first thing every survivor needs to find is shelter. Not long after your arrival at the fountain, it’s getting darker now and, even if the night is short (you’re about to find out it’s not!), you don’t want to spend your first one out on an unfamiliar street. Distantly you can hear a sound like a wolf howling through an elephant’s trunk. It’s loud and alien. Maybe you want to find somewhere to sleep a little more quickly.
Right away there are two pretty solid options that will do nicely for the night: an abandoned hotel-like structure and some empty stores.
The hotel structure seems to be the most popular option for others. Its large, overgrown lobby leads you to the staircase and over a dozen floors of rooms in varying conditions. Despite it looking as though no one has set foot in here for decades, the stairs and floors all are secure. The rooms that have doors on them open up to dusty rooms that all have a bathroom (of sorts) attached and long, narrow bed frames. Figuring out a mattress will be a challenge but at least this is a safe place to sleep. As long as no animals laid claim to this room before you got in...
But let’s say the room in the hotel doesn’t work for you. Maybe the room is too small for you. Maybe you don’t like the stairs. Maybe you want someplace private to separate yourself from the rest of these strangers and to think quietly about what to do next. Either way, the other option is any number of abandoned stores lining the block where you arrived. The glass doors and windows of many are broken but there are just as many intact as well. The rooms are all large and empty, as whatever wares inside were either taken or dissolved over the years. There may be a counter or two that will get you off the ground, though. With all this space, you’re bound to find something to sleep on.
Unless someone else got there, first...
no subject
Because I know what it feels like to have nothing. I don't want someone else to feel like that.
no subject
Why are Maximoffs always so stubborn?
[The words are a whisper. And is that... a touch of self deprecation? Nah. Can’t be.]
no subject
That and Vision.
[She's just going to assume he's mostly referring to past experiences with Pietro. Why would it mean anything else?]
no subject
[Not everyone survived super juvie. Stubbornness helped.]
I’m glad you have him. I think. Just tell me if he is ever annoying you. I’ll run him to the other side of the planet or something.
[Which will seriously drain his energy but he would. For her.]
no subject
[She squeezes him gently and then releases him. And that, more than anything else, is why she wants to help him. She doesn't know exactly what he's referring to but she can guess, and former experiments have to stick together.]
He could never annoy me. He's...he's wonderful. [Sorry Tommy, she will always be a dork in love. That's the other thing about Maximoffs - she just can't feel anything by halves.]
no subject
At last he squirms from her arms and frowns at her, half a step back.]
Shouldn’t doesn’t seem to keep it from happening, though. Which doesn’t matter. It’s in the past. I, uh, should probably give you some space.
no subject
I should...I should probably make sure Thistle isn't getting Vision into trouble.
no subject
Like anyone could get Vizh in trouble he doesn’t want. He’a a bit too smart for getting into bad situations. Or, well I had thought so.
[And then the guy had just agreed to be family. When Tommy’s own Vision didn’t seem to care about his sons ever. Made Tommy pissed as hell how easily this other Vision proved to be a better father than he’d ever had. Passed his own Vision and Frank Shepherd without even blinking.]
He’s a softer touch than I remember.
no subject
You should try telling Thistle no when she wants a snack.
[Her smile turns soft.] He has a gentle soul, even after everything that's happened to us.
no subject
I definitely like this one better than the one back home. He’s more invested in people.
no subject
[She sighs.]
He had just been born, he didn't have a reason to trust me...but he realized I was missing and came to save me when no one else did. Whatever you said to him earlier, he is not going to judge you for it.
no subject
He isn’t like the Vision back home and I judged him based on that Vision. Because I didn’t know yet. He already forgave me. I think... you made a good choice. With him. And all that. You two would make good parents some day.
no subject
Maybe, if we can ever be free of this. If we had adopted children just to be pulled away from them I don't know what I would do.
[Go on a hunt for whoever did this and force them to send them home, that's what. Wanda takes a breath and sighs, and when she looks up again the awkwardness is gone.]
We will find a way home. I promise.
no subject
[What? Tommy knows she's going to be a good mom, she's already been more supportive than his parents ever managed.]
no subject
Would you choose a telepath for your mother?
[It's one thing for people who have chosen to keep her despite or because of her weirdness. It's quite another thing to force her companionship on someone who doesn't have full and free choice. And while the people of Naviadna had been much less judgmental, Wanda just can't forget the way some people on Earth reacted.]
no subject
I would trust you to use it right.
no subject
I'm not in your head. [She doesn't need to be to see that's where his mind went.] I feel how upset everyone is, but nothing more.
The only people I want to read are the people who brought us here.
no subject
[Because no one does. He knows better than to think that.]
no subject
[She doesn't know him well at all yet, but that just sounds ridiculous. And even without her powers, she was usually a good judge of people - she'd been wary of Strucker and List from the start.]
no subject
Dude, just trust me on this one. Like you'd trust Pietro.
no subject
I am trusting Pietro. Your Pietro.
no subject
I'm a relative of his, a bit distantly. Yours too, I guess.
[Alternate universes is distant.]
And now you're going to do that thing where you're like 'hey we're sorta related, let's be friends' and that's awkward because blood shouldn't force you to things like that, especially not distantly and all that.
no subject
I am here if you want me to be. But if it is awkward, I understand.
no subject
Your husband doesn't count? Strikes me that he would be family. And a good family. At least here.
