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...

001. it's not a mountain it's a town square

There's blood streaming down her temple and she's not on a mountain. Some fucking therapist of hers forever ago told her to wake up every morning and establish who she was, where she was, and how she felt as some kind of coping technique. Jane had shrugged it off at the time like everything else because she's never getting better but right now, she needs the grounding. So.

She's Jane Solis. There's blood streaming down her temple. She isn't on a mountain.

"Good fucking observation," she mutters to herself. She's staggering as she walks toward what looks like buildings in various states of disrepair and it's when she gets to what appears to be the biggest occupied one that she goes down, woozy from knocking her head on a rock and the ligaments in her ankle too taxed from rolling it over a thousand times on the climb down.

"Fuck. I'm Jane Solis, I probably need to be left here to die, and this isn't a mountain."

002. it's the middle of nowhere, why is there signal

( The device is something she's been staring at since she arrived as if it has a tracker on it and someone is going to swoop in and rescue her from the new normal. Hasn't done that yet, though, and as much as she's always been a person to wrap herself in a blanket of isolation and self-inflicted loathing, she doesn't think it will ping off a tower if she doesn't turn it on.

It's connected to a network. Some kind of network. She tries to get to the internet and gets 404s but there's video and text. Fuck. She's still sporting bruises from her world record attempt at rolling down a mountain so she's not sure she wants to see what she looks like. She gives it a try and sees that she looks as awful as she feels and shuts that quick. There's text, though. )

Anyone wanna tell me why I get 404s looking for CNN but I can mass text like my grandma?
