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...

There is nothing for Jane in any of this. She hadn't wanted life to begin with, she wasn't sure about it when the plane crashed and now she damn sure doesn't want to fight for her life on some foreign planet. She'd had her plan. She'd planned to swallow her oblivion and float away and now she's so far from that she doesn't know where to begin.

She's tall but the guy throwing his hands up near her makes her look like a little girl. She doesn't think she's ever seen anyone as tall as he is and she clears her throat a little.

"You keep throwing your hands up like that, you're going to end up clotheslining people."

"Then they deserve it if they weren't paying attention." Arthur responded with a shrug, but resisted the eye roll. "I'm not here to babysit. I take it you just arrived as well."

From his own quick observation she didn't look as if she lived here or knew what she was doing. Those that did live here looked worn out and were working on some task. Some where helping out newcomers like him should had had asked for it.

Jane exhales sharply. The sentiment isn't wrong, actually, and after spending months and months at Life House being told how precious and wonderful her life was and listening to others tell their sob stories, she'd gotten jaded about the whole thing. You do something stupid, you deserve the consequences.

"Just got here, yeah. Wish I had dressed better," she says, motioning toward her heavy parka and boots. "Warmer here than where I was. I'm Jane, another person who thinks stupid people deserve stupid prizes."

She puts her hand out to shake his, tipping her head up so she can see his face. God, he's tall, and it's weird for her to have to look up to anyone.

"Better to have heavier clothing then to not have it later. None of us know the temperament of the weather here. It could be warm one minute cold the next. Granted the cold don't bother me. I'm Arthur," he stated and returned the hand shake with a strong grip out of habit.

"No, better to be prepared," Jane agrees. Prepared would mean having her pills and all the shit that Paul had been hauling in his backpack but she's not descending a mountain right now. The land is flat and while it's damned weird to be somewhere new, it doesn't look dangerous on first glance.

"I'm from Jersey. What about you?" As much as she can lie and lie easily, Jersey is true. She hasn't been back in ages but here - here she guesses she can start over. She can give it a shot before deciding it's not worth the effort.
