// TEST DRIVE_



Welcome to Eluvio's Test Drive Meme! Whether you'd like to try out a character in the setting, get some samples for your application, or just mess around and have fun, this is the place to do it.

If you're getting samples together, remember that you need at least four comments made by you in the thread for it to count.

Pick any of the scenarios below or make up any of your own. This is space! There are infinite worlds and possibilities. If you'd like to thread out hijacking a ship, do it! If you'd like to get stuck on a remote planet with only one other person for company, do it! Take the wheel and guide your own adventure!

The most important thing is to have fun!

➣ SCENARIO 001.



Welcome to Oros! It's no vacation destination and you're in for an interesting ride. While the planet is big, there's not much to explore beyond the vast, stretching reaches of a boiling hot, red desert. Which means it's fun for the whole family!

There are hostile aliens on the planet who aren't taking kindly to you, an alien on their planet. They're stronger than you and you're out numbered. Likely out gunned, too. But, really, good luck! You'll be coming back alive.

For more information on the planet and things that may be found there, please go here and give it a read! There you can also find the missions completed in game should you need any additional prompt. Whatever you can imagine that fits with the setting itself works!

[ PLEASE NOTE: Threads taking place on Oros cannot be used as game canon, as they required prior signups to participate, but the setting is provided so that you can get an idea of just one of the kinds of events that will be in game! ]



➣ SCENARIO 002.



Congratulations! You've been selected to be part of the team being sent down to the planet around which the fleet is currently orbiting. Initial scans of the surface show that oxygen is in abundance, temperatures support carbon-based life-forms, and there aren't any large quantities of poisonous gases that might pose problems. Your mission is to secure a landing site, set up a camp, and locate edible flora and fauna. Stores aboard ship are running a bit low on food and it's projected to be another three weeks before the fleet reaches a station large enough to replenish supplies. Once identified, larger parties will be sent to the surface to help hunt and gather.

The good news is, scans show fruits, vegetables, and animals are plentiful.

The bad news is that once your ship lands on the planet, everything goes sideways.

An unexpected ion storm sweeps through the solar system, shorting out communications between the fleet and the team. It wreaks havoc with the electronics planet-side too, temporarily shorting out the smaller craft's navigational array. Until it passes, about six standard days, you're stuck down there. And the bountiful harvest isn't without its dangers.

Even the most docile looking animal will attack. Sampling the fruits and vegetables will cause temporary paralysis, hallucinations, and psychosis. Inhaling pollen will bring out a person's baser instincts.

The planet itself is predatory, you see. Everything on it has evolved to entice visitors from nearby systems and kill them. And the fleet's unwittingly taken the bait.



➣ SCENARIO 003.



It's been a rough day. Everything's going wrong. Machines are breaking down everywhere. The owner of your favorite business wasn't there today and the store was closed when you stopped by to pick something up. A coworker didn't show up for work, leaving you with an interested workload.

And now it feels like you're being watched.

It started about ten minutes ago, but whenever you turn to look, there's no one there. The feeling doesn't go away, though. No matter where you are, it feels like eyes are watching.

Did you hear something? A quiet, scuffling scratching sound just for a second? Maybe you did. Maybe you didn't.

But it came from the misshapen monstrosity that just punched a hole through the bulkhead right beside you. The creature makes a low, wet gargling noises and darts toward you: six to seven feet tall, vaguely humanoid, and covered in strange growths over which is stretched bubbling grayish-brown skin.

Maybe you notice tatters of familiar clothing hanging off of it. Or there's enough left of its eyes to recognize the shape and color. Or maybe something about the noises it's making sound familiar. It's your missing coworker and it looks like the unfortunate soul ran afoul of that weird slimy creature the science team brought back from that jungle planet a month ago.

The good news: you can kill it.

The bad news: it can kill you.

It's fast, it's hungry, and it reproduces at an alarming rate. A single bite can transfer the parasites in its bloodstream to you. Then you'll be just like your buddy. And that shop owner you like so much. And all of the people on Level 12. And...



➣ SCENARIO 004.



You're welcomed and encouraged to make up your own scenarios. As you can see, there will be a wide variety of the types of things your character will encounter in this game. So feel free to make your starters as horrific, sexy, lighthearted, action-packed, or slice of life as you'd like. Make up a planet, make up a location on the Eluvio, make up a ship in the fleet, fight off a zombie alien invasion, there's no limit to what you can do on the TDM.

I do. Stay put.

[ It'll take him a while to get there even if he runs, though. After about ten minutes a slim man of about thirty will step into the medbay, a small dragon perched on one arm of his. He has simple but medieval-looking fashion, and a sword belted to his waist. ]

Are you Mai?

[ His voice is flat but not unfriendly. ]

Cylon. Look pretty human, though. But we're stronger than an average human so I have to ask. I don't want to hurt anyone.

[ Pidge arrives sometime later, computer bag slung over one shoulder and her hair (subtly longer than it was even a few weeks ago) tied back in a bandanna to keep it out of her eyes. She adjusts her glasses and peer around the shop at the rather large variety of flowers. ]

What'd you need my help with, princess?

Pretty sure these comms have a recording function that's not connected to broadcasting hidden in them somewhere.

[ at least he's calm about this. dutch wouldn't want to have to hold someone's hand through their first space adventure, but she's willing to provide some pointers. ]

Originally we were machines. Artificial intelligence. Now we've evolved into a mixture of organic and inorganic components. It's complicated. And sometimes makes humans uncomfortable. I feel like it's best to be honest.

[ there's a pause before dutch responds. it doesn't sound anything like sixes, but — she'd rather double check. she's seen one of them play on someone else's emotions before. ]

is there any green goo involved in the process?

[Why they sent this guy here is anyone's guess. He's just a scrawny teenager with seemingly no special talents, who spent most of his time on the planet scowling at things. Natsuno didn't even want to be here, but no one asked him - they must've read his medical information and decided a nigh-immortal guy would be useful.

He did last longer than most people who got affected, but apparently there's a whole universe of toxins an Earth vampire can't handle. He would've probably keeled over if Raven hadn't caught him, which doesn't stop him from grumbling:]


I'm fine.

[Then he glances at her and his eyes narrow in suspicion.]

Why are you purple?

[It's almost accusing.]
andreios: (11)

[personal profile] andreios 2017-01-26 04:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That stumps him for a moment. ]

It's not green, but there is a special fluid used for our ships' Hybrids. It's not the most pleasant substance.

[ That's enthusiastic. Other than looking mildly concerned on his behalf, she doesn't complain, and as soon as he's close enough she grabs hold of his arm and uses him for balance while she pulls her ankle free of another handsy vine. ]

Ugh[ Gross. A pause to slap a vine crawling into her periphery, then she's free enough to bolt. Dom gives up her grip on his arm, instead taking a fistful of his jacket to yank him along with as she starts off. Probably redundant. ]

Aren't away teams supposed to have guns? They should've given us guns.

...and you are? [He's never given her a name. It's hard to tell who he is at a glance. Still, he doesn't seem completely cruel. Mai avoids direct eye contact.]

[ Rhys is a wuss in every way, from his nausea over this gross planet to his fancy, skag-skin shoes. Turned away from Dom, he scans plants one by one, his left eye alight with the dim, blue glow typical of technology. For the most part, he only adds new images to his database (entries composed of unhelpful variations on Another goddamn tree, I guess. Try eating it, and see if it puts us out of our misery). Apart from the occasional choked laugh and intermittent whining, he doesn't offer much support for his teammate. And he certainly doesn't engage in any hands-on investigation of their environment.

Wouldn't want to stain his suit, y'know.

However, Dom's abrupt topic and tonal shift earns his undivided attention. When he witnesses her near crash, he cocks his head. The way his mouth quirks in glee — over his super cool teammate doing something vaguely embarrassing — signals an oncoming jibe, but her second statement cuts him off. ]


Whoa there, you mean like — [ His eyebrows shoot up. He almost says stripping, but instead makes a sort of noncommittal sweeping gesture to himself and then back to her. He's thinking of college prank style streak, okay. Is that a wilderness survival thing? Wait. ] — oh, running. You totally mean running. [ then, quickly: ] Right now?

[ Is that necessary? These shoes have done running before, sure, but they're not, like, made for it. Emergencies only, please. ]

I'm really hoping you're not one of the people who saw me do that.

003. ❚ this wouldn't happen working at mcdonalds ( but maybe at burger king )



[ Working at a tiny cafe on the ship had it's pros ( there was actual coffee on this ship and she had constant access to it! ) and the usual kinds of cons you might expect. All in all, Clary felt pretty lucky with the position she'd been given here. She didn't mind the work, and things could always be worse.

That's why when her coworker didn't show up for work, she didn't complain too much. The usual rush was managed and after that there wasn't a big reason for two of them to be working. So she shook it off as she left from her shift and headed back to her room. It's as she's plugging away at her communicator on her wrist, trying to see if she missed anything while on shift, that she hears something. She stopped and checked behind her, but seeing nothing started to walk again.

Another scuffle.

Stop.

This time she's sure she heard it. There was a softer sound, persisting, and she can hear it now she's really focused. She stepped towards the wall, realizing it was coming from there. Something mechanical she doesn't understand?

Nope. Definitely nope.

There's a sharp scream from her as the creature burst free from the wall. She nearly flew backwards onto the ground, but she managed to recover in time to not fully go down. Instead, she pulled out her seraph blade as the creature stalked towards her. ]


Get back! [ She yelled, sounding more confident than she felt. This was no demon, after all. And this was so much bigger than her.

It made a deep sound, just before rushing her. She slashed at it as she rolled away, rising to stab it from behind while the chance was there. She stopped short as she saw the tattoo on the what could only be the shoulder of the creature. ]
Stacy?

[ She couldn't help but recognize her missing coworker's tattoo.

Instead of continuing the fight, Clary took advantage of the creature's momentary distraction to turn and run deep into the ship. Though she heard the creature's loud squeal as it discovered her missing to run after her.

The first person Clary finds while running, she paused for. She's clearly in distress as she tries to gesture the other person on. ]


Run! Something happened to my coworker she's... we have to run before she kills us! Come on!

Soooo

Let's say someone took a wrong turn down a hallway. And they really didn't know this wasn't the right hallway.

So they opened a door and they thought there was another hallway. And they thought it was right, there are a lot of doors and hallways here after all. Like the one at the end of the hall that was actually locked.

And then the other one they went through is locked too now. It locked behind them when it shut.

And that someone is me....

Can I get some help? Maybe some saving? I'll take advice, too.
