TEST DRIVE
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! 

*ATTENTION! RESERVES ARE NOW OPEN!*

WHALE COMB PARTY


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!

 

LOST AND ALONE


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.

 

MILES TO GO


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...

"Oh for fuck's sake."

Are the first words out of Tyrion Lannister's mouth as he sits up abruptly and looks around. Honestly, all he could remember was his last night with his wife, and then nothing.

And now. Whatever this this was. Is. He squints around, grumbling at the look of the empty square and everything in it. Then he pushes his small frame upright, and begins to limp towards the square. Right, first to this party, maybe to get some answers and then get horribly drunk.

... if they had wine here.

Seven, let there be wine here.

Keith knew that voice. He stopped mid-step as he passed by the fountain, and then turned to try spotting the speaker. There... as Tyrion stood up, Keith noticed him on the other side of said fountain, and he couldn't help the small smile at seeing a familiar face. He walked around to meet him.

"That was kind of my thought, too." But, yeah... that limp didn't look good. "You okay?"
tallasaking: (Default)

[personal profile] tallasaking 2019-07-18 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
Tyrion stopped completely, turning towards the familiar voice. His expression
warmed completely, and he raised his hand in greeting.

"This shall be terrible to say, but by the Seven's Balls, it is good to see someone I know." He sighed, down at his leg, "Apparently I was injured before I got here."
tempredmental: (Uh Well I Guess I'm Okay)

[personal profile] tempredmental 2019-07-19 03:42 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's not terrible. I understand." As much as it sucked to know someone you liked was stuck in a crappy place with you, they were still with you, and a familiar face was better than all strangers.

"You don't know how it happened? Do you need a hand?"

Honestly, Tyrion was kind of small for Keith to put the man's arm over his shoulder and offer support in the normal way he would think of. But, he didn't want to offer to carry him since he felt like that might come across as insulting.

[personal profile] tallasaking 2019-07-20 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
"Yes, I rather thought you might." Tyrion chuckled softly, before he waved off help. "I have no idea how I even got here, so I have no idea how my leg was injured. All in all, I believe this to be another gift of the Atroma."
tempredmental: (I'm Judging You So Hard)

[personal profile] tempredmental 2019-07-23 03:49 pm (UTC)(link)
"Maybe..." Keith looked around.

"It's not normal for them to dump us on the planet without us knowing, though." He frowned a bit in thought. "I wonder if this has to do with us freeing the Marsiva... maybe like payback or something."
tallasaking: (Default)

[personal profile] tallasaking 2019-07-24 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
"... You're right. They would want to know how they controlled us." Tyrion murmured, as he looked around. "It might be. I would not put it past them to avenge themselves on us from 'beyond the grave'."
tempredmental: (Worried About the Journey)

[personal profile] tempredmental 2019-08-01 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
"Mm." Keith took a breath. It was something to consider later, once they could figure some other things out, too.

"Have you seen anyone else from the Fleet, yet? Or were you just waking up when I spotted you?" It seemed like people were showing up in dribs and drabs... one at a time. No big wave or anything.
tallasaking: (Oh Really?)

[personal profile] tallasaking 2019-08-01 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"I was just waking up - haven't seen anyone else from the Fleet." He exhaled, and carefully stretched out his leg. Moving it up and down carefully. Making sure that he wasn't going to suffer any long term effects.

"I am guessing you haven't seen anyone either?"
tempredmental: (Can We Save Him?)

[personal profile] tempredmental 2019-08-01 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
"Not yet, no... but there's always a chance," Keith said. "The fact that we came upon each other says that much."

He watched the movement, aware enough of body mechanics to know what it was Tyrion was doing.

"Wanna find a place to sit?"
tallasaking: (Default)

[personal profile] tallasaking 2019-08-02 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
"Yes, I suppose it is probably more likely that we will find our fellow prisoners here." Tyrion sighed, "I just do not know what the game is. I need to see the board."

A quiet nod. "My leg thanks you."
tempredmental: (Impressed)

[personal profile] tempredmental 2019-08-08 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Tyrion's choice of words struck something in the back of Keith's mind, and he pursed his lips a little. However, he managed to hold back any retorts about conspiracy boards and just nodded, figuring the game and board thing went together as some sort of analogy. Stuff like that didn't often occur naturally for Keith, and he often had to think them through. Thankfully, he was getting better at that, and the resolution of those thoughts came to faster than in the past.

He nodded a little, and then glanced around. There seemed to be some sort of activity over by what looked like an abandoned hotel. Maybe there would be chairs or somewhere to sit in there. It wasn't far.

"We could try there. Maybe we'll see more familiar faces."
theladyofwinterfell: (i miss you more)

[personal profile] theladyofwinterfell 2019-07-28 11:59 am (UTC)(link)
Sansa hadn't been particularly pleased about being roused from bed from her husband and so when she'd found herself at the party, she immediately took a drink from one of the red drinks being distributed around. They taste of a sweet and very strong wine, so by the time she finds Tyrion, she's deeper in her cups than she intends to be.

"Weren't we in bed," she asks, squinting a bit as if it's taking a lot of effort to think it through.
tallasaking: (Look how adorable I am?)

[personal profile] tallasaking 2019-07-28 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
The relief on Tyrion's face when he saw Sansa was absolute, and he limped over to her. He hugged her around the waist, ignoring how ridiculous it might look because he wasn't entirely certain when he was going to see her again.

"We were. And now ... we are somewhere else."
theladyofwinterfell: (with its broken leg)

[personal profile] theladyofwinterfell 2019-07-28 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Sansa doesn't care that it looks ridiculous. She's so pleased that Tyrion is there and hasn't disappeared from her that she lets him hug her just like this until she feels her heartbeat calm a bit.

"I thought we'd be going home again. We've a battle to fight, Tyrion, and I thought the Atroma would return us."
tallasaking: (Oh Really?)

[personal profile] tallasaking 2019-07-28 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
He gives her another tight squeeze, before he looks back up at her. "I thought our fight was over, love... are you drunk?"

Sansa was actually weaving within his arms, as they spoke.
theladyofwinterfell: (Default)

[personal profile] theladyofwinterfell 2019-07-29 06:48 am (UTC)(link)

Sansa frowns a bit, trying to work that out. She doesn't know if there's a battle or not, only that she thinks there's one, and she tries to keep herself upright. The wine she'd had has gone to her head far too quickly.

"I only had two glasses of wine," Sansa says, frowning. "I shouldn't be drunk."

tallasaking: (Default)

[personal profile] tallasaking 2019-07-29 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
"Have you had anything to eat?"

He is going to rule out the most likely before jumping to the most paranoid, as he is apt to do.
theladyofwinterfell: (a rabbit hearted girl)

[personal profile] theladyofwinterfell 2019-07-29 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
"Only a bite of a cake," Sansa says, wobbling a bit on unsteady feet. "I should find a place to sit before I collapse on you, I think."

She's not slurring her words but only just and Sansa isn't so used to drinking alcohol that she can maintain her balance while drunk.
tallasaking: (Time to get serious)

[personal profile] tallasaking 2019-07-30 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
"Right, let us go and get you settled down."

Tyrion immediately supported her, pulling her off to the side. Mindful of his own leg, he settled them both into chairs.
theladyofwinterfell: (count my cards)

[personal profile] theladyofwinterfell 2019-07-30 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Once Sansa is settled into a chair, she looks at Tyrion carefully and realizes that he's actually injured. How had she not noticed this? Is she truly that carried away with drink after only two glasses?

"Tyrion, you're hurt! What happened?"
tallasaking: (Default)

[personal profile] tallasaking 2019-07-31 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
Tyrion waves away her concern as he finally settles himself and winces as he examines his leg. "Honestly, my lady wife, I have no damned clue. I just know I woke up, and my leg felt as if I wrenched it. Hard."
theladyofwinterfell: (cant stop staring)

[personal profile] theladyofwinterfell 2019-08-01 04:04 pm (UTC)(link)
"We should have it looked at, I think. Not this moment, though. Just now I want to remind myself that you're here and I'm not alone."

Sansa had thought she would never be dragged back here to the Atroma and while this place seems a bit different, it's still another place that isn't Westeros.
tallasaking: (Kiss on the lips)

[personal profile] tallasaking 2019-08-01 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
"We shall ... once I am sure we can both walk there without falling our our faces." He gave her a cheeky smile, before he leaned into her, pressing his head to her arm.

"We are together. We are not alone."
theladyofwinterfell: (raise it up)

[personal profile] theladyofwinterfell 2019-08-02 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
"I really didn't mean to get stumbling drunk, you know. I only had two glasses." Sansa tries to give Tyrion a cross look but it just turns out looking silly since she's too drunk to properly do anything.

"I'm so glad that if I had to come back to a place I didn't know, it's with you."
