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...

He's used to getting all sorts of looks. Cloud knew he looked a bit different from others here. The clothing with one arm being sleeved and the other not could have been a fashion statement. The eyes back in his world would draw forth comments of being a junkie or immediately being part of Shinra. Here had been different with the reactions. Cloud places his left hand on a hip while looking at Hannibal slowly taking in the rest of his appearance.

He gives a nod at that. "Are you a doctor?" Because with that amount of blood could lead to side effects and he was curious mostly on Hannibal saying he tended to his own injury.

"Cloud Strife. And you? I haven't seen you around here before."

"Hannibal," he offered with an amused raise of his brows. Cloud Strife, what a biblical conjuring it brought to his mind. Maybe Cloud was like Jeremiah, roaming the lands trying to warn people of the truth of god and lies of false prophets? Hannibal stared a moment longer, transfixed by the young man's uniquely colored eyes.

No, he decided. Somehow he felt as if Cloud were more like David, rightful but beleaguered King of Israel. Like David, fleeing and hiding across the land as the pretender King whom had not been chosen by God as David had been, sought to find and kill him. Then again, Cloud could be the pretender King Saul instead, hunting down his own David despite the will of God.

"Hannibal Lecter, and you are correct. I am new here." A verse from Samuel 18 came to mind, a quote from King Saul, I'll pin David to the wall. A tantalizing vision came to mind of Cloud Strife pinning his own David to a wall with a spear, self-righteous and glorious in the disdain of God.

"May I ask about your clothing? It's not something I've seen before."

Cloud quirks an eyebrow at the man while watching his reaction over his name. He may have been waiting for a comment to come around. When nothing did it surprised Cloud a little. He had expected something but it didn't come at all. Perhaps he had been too used to people making a tease or a jab when they could.

"Hannibal Lecter." He takes in the man's overall appearance seeing if the blood could be anywhere else. Cloud's eyes dart over the rest of the room too seeing if there might have been anything out of the ordinary. He makes a fist with his left hand.

"They're comfortable. I'm used to turtlenecks." Beneath the left sleeve laid a secret that probably smelt of death. "What else would you want to know about them?"
