Spring Test Drive Meme!

[trpmods]

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:

- Explore the city! There's a map here 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. The hotel seems to be the most crowded, but you might want into what appears to be an abandoned storefront and find someone else scavenging or even sleeping.

- There are spaceships! That's right, there are currently several small spaceships grounded in the hangar. They appear to have power, but only one ship will let you enter. (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 it might be worth poking around the one that will...

- Do you hear a storm? A giant, power-altering storm has been ravaging part of the planet for a month. It shows 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? More information can be found  here.

- Can you hear me now? 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.

- 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...

Regardless, of how careful Cloud was trying to be, Wen Ning couldn't help but give a startled look from his work. It was the first time someone had noticed him or made an attempt to acknowledge his presence.

The term power plant also confused him. Granted, this whole place left Wen Ning in confusion. Everything was so foreign.

"I apologize, Young Master, but I am unfamiliar with this land and Power Plant," Wen Ning replied in an apologetic bow.

"It seems that we are both new here...perhaps we could explore the land together?" He carefully offered. While he knew nothing of the other, he also knew that it was better to travel in a group then by yourself. This would be a good test in his own judgement.

He lifts an eyebrow up at the Young Master. There's a bit of confusion over Wen Ning being unfamiliar with a power plant. Cloud doesn't think he's faking and is being honest. "My name is Cloud Strife." Hopefully, that might stop the other from calling him something different.

"I am..." There's a pause as he thinks over what Wen Ning asked. Cloud had worked alone for so long, by choice, he almost went into his immediate response. He knew that here was different and he still needed to make connections.

"Exploring together might be a good idea."

[loyalspirit]

Wen Ning softly repeated the name. It was a strange one not what he was used to hearing. This was a strange place so he assumed there would be all sorts of different people here that he would be meeting. He's sure they would probably think he's strange as well.

"My name is Wen Ning." he replied, relieved to see that the other agreed to traveling together.

[backoff]

Cloud gives a nod to Wen Ning once the other introduces himself. If anything he thinks the other is from a country of a different culture. He's seen plenty of strange things prior to coming here.

He would have kept them in silence but at the same time he wanted to see what the other had known. Cloud was at least trying to get better at his people skills. "How long have you been here?"

[loyalspirit]

"I've only been here for two days and haven't traveled too far away," Wen Ning replied. I really don't know much about this world. I've only been gathering food and anything that can be used for healing."

[backoff]

"Where have you been staying to sleep?" Cloud at least found shelter by going to the hotel. He didn't want to travel too far alone even if he could take on anything. It could still be dangerous enough for him to get knocked out cold.

"Good supplies to stock up on. You never know when a healing item might be useful."
