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...

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]

[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]

[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]

[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]

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]

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]

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]

That data point thing was pretty direct. Are you sure... How much do you know about these guys?

[wearingthestars]

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]

[And you really are a kid still.] Where is everyone? Where are you right now?

[wearingthestars]

The hotel. The big building. It's where most of us have shacked up.

[in_extremis]

[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]

No. Nothing like that. I can come meet you. Give you the...tour.
