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...

[ Jon has literally just arrived, having spotted the unfamiliar person on his way back to the library and thought it would be polite to say hello.

That he is met with a- Cat.... Person? That's unexpected. And he does stare for a couple of moments, then blinks a couple of times while she turns her attention back upward. ]

Ah-- Y-yes. Yes, they are.

[ Pause. ]

And... I'm sorry. I- I didn't mean to surprise you.

[ Pause 2.0 ]

I'm Jon.

[heeeyadora]

[The staring definitely has Catra on edge, and her tail gives a slow twitch of annoyance before her attention shifts back to the sky.]

...It's all right. [She allows begrudgingly, looking uncertain when faced with the apology.] ...Catra. You been in this place a while?

[beholding_archivist]

C-couple of months.

[ He can guess she hasn't been around long, so refrains from inquiring about it. ]

I take it you aren't from Earth.

[ Just one of his non-questions and he steps up next to her to point up at the stars. ]

I also don't think anyone has charted these yet. Unless- Someone has. And I just don't know about it.

[ It... happens. ]

[heeeyadora]

[She frowns a little at the stuttering, ears swiveling curiously, but she doesn't mention it, shaking her head at the mention of Earth.]

Never heard of it. It that supposed to be some other planet? [She says it like that's a bit of a foreign concept to her much like the stars.]

[beholding_archivist]

Well, yes. It's the planet I am from. And a few others.

[ Though he catches the notch in her voice and inclines his head a little. ]

You- You must have a name for the place you come from as well.

[heeeyadora]

[It's a moment before she offers it up, but she nods, gaze flitting about with the reminder that she is very far from home.]

...Etheria.

[She sighs and gives a huff, tail twitching.]

S'better name than Earth anyway. Might as well name your planet dirt.

[beholding_archivist]

Can't argue with that.

[ And will you look at that, he even gives a very faint chuckle. Which is followed by an offer. ]

I can leave you alone with the stars if you want.

[heeeyadora]

[Alone? Catra bristles, and very pointedly looks away, tail wrapping round herself.]

I don't care. Do what you want.
