SPRING 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!

Spring in Temba and Sh'Ka

While the snow has disappeared, the glitter it appears to have turned into remains. Small red, pink, white and purple particles, some in the shapes of stars and little hearts (both realistic and stylized) are covering Temba in a sparkling blanket just as the snow had before. Walking through it will send glittering swirls of it into the air to settle back on the ground again gently.

Despite the sparkling cover, young plants have begun to sprout, young green stems peeking out between pink and red and purple.

Sh'Ka, also, has been freed of its more icy coverage. The glitter here is a lot finer and the layer of it covering the overgrown city not nearly as thick as in Temba. Instead, the glittery mist every move brushes up in the air hangs there much longer and seems reluctant, even, to settle back down.

Despite those differences both cities are currently very, very sparkly...

Explore ~~the city~~ Temba!

Here's a map of Temba 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 sitting in the hangar. Not all of them may be around when you check out the building, as one of the pilots may be using one of them to fly over to Sh'Ka. But there should still enough of them around for you to inspect and maybe wonder about. However, only one of them will open its doors for you. Do you dare to step inside? Check out the protein paste or maybe even meet one of your crew mates?

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!

Humans fear what's different. What's unknown. Whether it be their own or a monster or I suppose even androids who prove they can be more. It's unfortunate. But there are some who are able to see past those things, at least.

Maybe a different version? I've been told there are different versions of Earth. Alternate realities? It all sounds like a sci-fi movie.

yeah and it's awful most that i met just want to be left alone not deprogrammed or scrapped maybe? that's a horrible thought two of my dad? one is enough and i can barely deal with him anyways i'm york what name do you go by?

I hope that one day there will be acceptance for you and others like you.

Maybe it says a lot about the people I know if I say that I don't think he's that bad. There are many strange people in Ikebukuro.

I'm Celty. It's nice to meet you, York. So to speak, of course.

i hope that too how's japan? one of those places i want to visit but there's a bunch of legal stuff or something and i'm dealing with other stuff so the idea went on the backburner of course texting is a good way to communicate easier to keep my emotions in check tricky things, emotions even if they're emulations

It's an interesting place. I live in the city, so it's very busy. Getting out of the city can be nice sometimes, but I guess I've gotten used to the city life. It's so very quiet here by comparison.

It's the only way I can communicate. I can't speak, otherwise. But it's true, you can think your words through better, this way.

_{[Can't speak? Usually York's first guess is that this is an android with a broken vocal output, but they don't seem to be an android like him. But there were conditions humans could have that keep them from speaking.]}

some sort of condition in your larynx? or maybe just vocal chord damage? my brother duncan had that problem once but that's hardware, not bioware like humans he's also fixed up but prefers to keep quiet detroit is pretty busy so is nyc even before the revolution really gained traction i've always lived in the city skyscraper in nyc at least good view of the architecture really nice skyline from the ground too

Something of the sort.

[She really couldn't be sure if she'd ever had the ability to do so even with her head. It's not like it bothers her too much though. She's happy to be able to communicate at all.]

NYC is one of those places I'd like to visit some time. Maybe some day I'll go to America. My roommate always talks about taking a vacation somewhere.

I've only lived in Japan for about twenty years. I come from Ireland, although I can't remember much of it.

oh man i hear ireland is hella nice i was in nyc for two years traveled to malibu here and there stayed there for a few months but i consider nyc my home for the two years and three months i've been online you're pretty nice to talk to for someone not an android good to know there are nice humans out there

It's a different atmosphere. But I think there are places in Japan that might compare. I spend most of my time in the city though. I work as a courier.

I guess I'll take that as a compliment.

[She does feel a little guilty for the assumption there, but then she's found it's better to let people think what they will when it comes to her. It's difficult to gauge how people will react otherwise, and more often than not there's a lot of screaming.]

coming from me it is a compliment really i don't have much love for humans i've seen what they can do to someone like me i've experienced it but you don't come across as that kind of person miss celty and honestly i'm thankful for it markus and simon both stressed to me that there were people like you out there just... difficult to encounter maybe maybe that's just me

I think you'll find a lot of people here who will treat you like the person you already present yourself to be.

I have no reason to do anything bad to anyone. I've also seen and experienced how bad people can be, but I know there are good ones out there, and that's enough to offset those who might be otherwise.

that's all i want out of my synthetic life tbh i know there's good ones out there in my world anyways there has to be anyways is there a way to go home from here? you're nice to talk to but i got things i need to do at home

I don't believe that there wouldn't be any, even in your world.

Ah, I wish I could give you a good answer to that. If it were that simple I don't think many of us would still be here as it is. I would much rather be home too. But we're stuck.
