Spring Test Drive Meme!




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...

[Now he's really looking, trying to put this puzzle together, picking out pieces of this image that seem familiar]

Mr. Witch-Boy? That Billy? Look at you. All...out of puberty. How 'bout that.

[Well that definitely made his cheeks grow hot, but there was a noted look of relief on his face, and he nodded quickly.]

That Billy, yeah. Hey. [He can style his hair now. Look at that. All grown up.]

So uh...I don't suppose they let you bring your suit, did they?

Hey. [Whether he could or couldn't style his hair was subjective.] If they did, how would I...know that? Is there somewhere I'm supposed to be going?
wearingthestars: (oh?)

[personal profile] wearingthestars 2020-03-08 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Ouch.]

Um. It'd probably be with you? I think? I dunno, I just had a phone...it's a lot more compact. [Depending when exactly Stark's from at least. His suits vary a lot depending on the time.]

And uh...end game, we're supposed to stop the storms, I think. We haven't really figured out how, but as far as we can tell that's a big part of why we've been brought here.

[That was a few moves ahead of what Tony's asking for, but sure, good to know.] So, what are you waiting for?
wearingthestars: (guilt)

[personal profile] wearingthestars 2020-03-08 11:34 am (UTC)(link)
I don't really know how to approach stopping the weather. And once we're in the storm our powers don't really...work, so...it's complicated.

[personal profile] in_extremis 2020-03-08 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[That doesn't sound right.] What are your powers, exactly?

(Anonymous) 2020-03-08 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Magic, basically. Um...desire based reality warping?
in_extremis: (Default)

[personal profile] in_extremis 2020-03-08 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[warped right out of identity, don't even need that, Billy has ASCENDED]

Mm-hmm... [Tony narrows his eyes, hoping Billy will just pick up what he's putting down, but the neurons don't seem to be firing rapidly enough] So, you don't want to stop the storms? [Alternately: magic is stupid. You've done it, Tony, you've cracked the code.]
wearingthestars: (guilt)

lol, sorry <3

[personal profile] wearingthestars 2020-03-08 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, okay, he gets it. And he knows. He's tried. Still, he flushes. He should be able to fix this.]

I'm not at full strength here. I can't want us home, or want everything fixed.
in_extremis: (Default)

[personal profile] in_extremis 2020-03-08 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[Tony is squinting again, through Billy this time, clearly not expecting to get good answers out of him down this line of questioning. He needs a better sounding board; Reed, or Rhodey or...] Who else is here? Where is everyone?
wearingthestars: (thoughtful)

[personal profile] wearingthestars 2020-03-08 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, uh- well there's a couple people from home. Me, Tommy, Teddy, and Lorna. And then there's some...alternate versions of people. Cap. Bucky. Captain Marvel. Wanda. Vision was here for a while, but he's gone...
in_extremis: (Default)

[personal profile] in_extremis 2020-03-08 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's almost overload. Some things stick out: Cap! Calm down...Almost Wanda's whole family, what did that mean? Teddy and...Mar-Vell? Or Carol? Most immediately relevant:] Gone? Like... [Tony makes a move like he's about to do the universally empathic sign of loss, dragging a thumb across his throat, and only stops himself half way there. At least he didn't do it.]
wearingthestars: (surprise)

[personal profile] wearingthestars 2020-03-08 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Billy shakes his head emphatically, looking more than a little distressed by the notion.]

No- he- well we're not sure, but I think he went home? He was just gone one day.
in_extremis: (Default)

[personal profile] in_extremis 2020-03-08 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[Honestly, that is so much more disturbing than dying, but Tony's not going to disavow Billy of his notions here]

So we can just... [Tony waves his hand, poof]...just like we came in?
wearingthestars: (guilt)

[personal profile] wearingthestars 2020-03-08 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess? [He looks very uncertain.] The Agrii don't seem sure where he went either, but...Vision told me he'd been taken before, by different people, and when people disappeared, they went home... [It's what he needs to believe.]
in_extremis: (Default)

[personal profile] in_extremis 2020-03-08 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Are they not the ones who put us here? [Or they giveth, but cannot taketh away? These alien overlords never really intended to send anyone home, just knew it was an easy carrot to dangle?] You've met them?
wearingthestars: (guilt)

[personal profile] wearingthestars 2020-03-09 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
Not in person, no. They um- they talk to us sometimes. We only recently got to even see what they look like.

[Not a shining endorsement, he knows.]

They're still kind of figuring out how to communicate with us I think?
in_extremis: (Default)

[personal profile] in_extremis 2020-03-09 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
That data point thing was pretty direct. Are you sure... How much do you know about these guys?
wearingthestars: (thoughtful)

[personal profile] wearingthestars 2020-03-09 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
That's more of an direct to the brain thing. Whenever they try to communicate with words it's more...confusing.

We don't know a lot, honestly. They seem to be well meaning, I think they really do just want help...
in_extremis: (Default)

[personal profile] in_extremis 2020-03-09 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
[And you really are a kid still.] Where is everyone? Where are you right now?
wearingthestars: (Default)

[personal profile] wearingthestars 2020-03-09 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
The hotel. The big building. It's where most of us have shacked up.
in_extremis: (Default)

[personal profile] in_extremis 2020-03-09 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Deep breath. It won't be weird at all to see Mar-Vell or Wanda. Be cool.] Okay, I'll, uh... [He's standing up, looking around] I'll figure it out. Should I wave a white flag or anything? Are there defenses?
wearingthestars: (Default)

[personal profile] wearingthestars 2020-03-09 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
No. Nothing like that. I can come meet you. Give you the...tour.
