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...

[Filet rôti, navets confits, purée de topinambours et champignons. The recipe is for duck breast but easily enough altered. It's the dramatic flip of the cape that reminds Hannibal of the recipe and he watches, hungry quite suddenly with a pang in his gut. The plumage of a male duck as it postures and displays itself with a composure begging to be made spectacle of. He watches, captivated with the movement of the lanky man.

After the words are spoken, Hannibal clears his throat softly. His salivary glands are working up in the flight-or-fight bodily response which he fully recognizes in himself but is unable to help change. If you are ready to fight, to hunt, you salivate. If you are preparing to flee then your whole digestive system will shut down causing saliva glands to dry up and give you cotton mouth and unsightly spittle at the corners of your mouth.

Hannibal is close to salivating. It's been too long since he last ate, he supposes.]

If we are both here in this place with one another then we aren't alone, are we?

( Vincent feels as if the question is rhetorical. If it's not, then he hasn't anything else to say. He and this stranger might as well endure this road alone rather than close. There is nothing shared between them.

Is there?

Vincent wonders on this for a moment. Could this stranger have come from Gaia? Could he have known the trials and blessings felt on Gaia? The Meteorfall and the Lifestream? If so, then perhaps they are less alone than Vincent believes. For a long while, he thought his journey was one he must see alone, but a group of people challenged that narrative some years ago. Vincent remains silent as he considers the other. His eyes remain open and attentive to the screen in which the stranger's face is displayed. )
