// 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.

Wow! Those are real! That's amazing! Also sad! But also cool if you ignore the implications! For a while.

( why is it that every cool thing the future has is also, technically, tied to war in some capacity. OR FIGHTING. FUTURE, GET MORE INVENTIVE. he is, however, well past the future and living in one himself. ah... )

Ah, I meant if the Russian Federation had helped sponsor one of the colonies you mentioned. We've been part of the push toward space for decades, alongside the United States and China.

[...why did she have to put it that way. He glances towards the vent opening and slowly eases away from it.]

I think you're right. Let me see if he's following just me first. I don't want to lead him to you.

[Hinata glances behind him and checks his map. If he makes it for the elevator he can get on an upper floor. If he's being targeted...might not be the best idea. He'll think of something else then.

With a shake of his head he starts moving south.]

Yeah, yeah. People watching! [and making friends! wow!] What about tomorrow?

[Apollo is content to remain in the air for now as well, although he keeps a wary eye on the creature. Vision might be able to make himself intangible, but he can't. It's only a matter of time before the thing decides to target the seemingly more vulnerable prey.]

They're crew mates. I don't know who exactly, but one of these things I fought had scraps of clothing left on it that I recognizes as belonging to one of the shop keepers.

( he gives the camera a solemn thumbs up. )

Tomorrow. I'll text you when I'm out of training!

[ Do you really have to ask that question? It's simply because she's a gamer that she would say something like that. Especially since it is a pretty common trope in horror games. ]

Be careful, Hinata-kun. I'll make sure to be careful as well. If anything goes wrong, you have to make sure to contact somebody. Even if it isn't me.

[ It would be bad if something happened to him and nobody realized it, after all. ]
thisisourfuture: (I want something I can be proud of.)

[personal profile] thisisourfuture 2017-02-01 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
Don't worry, I'd get the word out.

[It's a few minutes before he texts her again. The sounds of what had been Mark has receded the further away he's slipped into another ventilation shaft. It had broken through the bulkhead before. Maybe if he stays quiet...

Luck is on his side so far...]


I'm okay still. It doesn't seem to be following me. Do you know if security are on their way to deal with him, yet?

[just going to ignore that, even though he feels that Karamatsu is being extra painful today. he should be stopped. even for someone like Osomatsu, who is used to Karamatsu's painfulness, this is a bit much]

Ah, actually, I've got an idea.

[Osomatsu begins walking away, just leaving Karamatsu in the hot spring. he disappears behind some trees and is gone for several minutes]

[personal profile] apartoftheirheart 2017-02-01 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
Whoa!

[The startled exclaim jerks from his mouth and he's having to hurry behind this stranger, his first few steps clumsy and he would have tumbled to the ground had the grip been looser.]

Huh? [he blinks at the request, pulling himself free as he summons the Keyblade. Ventus should be able to lock it from this distance...] Right! Leave it to me!

[A beam of light spills from Wayward Wind, touching the lock on the door. The door may not be able to hold back that monster for long, but he doesn't voice this aloud. Though he's not exactly sure where they're going...]

Thanks for the save, uh...

Alright, I believe in you. After all, this means that Hinata-kun is the horror game, protagonist, right? That means you'll definitely make it, even if you don't have the arsenal against whatever Mark-san has become.

[ There's a few moments where she finds herself pausing for a moment, clearly deep in thought to his question, although she's also rather relieved that he's alright, honestly. Even if she is making those game references. ]

I don't know... I haven't heard anything from them.

[personal profile] apartoftheirheart 2017-02-01 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
Hallucinating?

[Ventus had eaten a fruit. And after that, the Unversed started appearing... Was there a connection between that? Was he telling the truth?

He shook his head, as if it would clear out the so-called hallucinations. Unversed shouldn't be invisible to other people - they could terrorize a town for God's sake. Still, it wouldn't be a bad idea to check if they were tangible.

With a flick of the wrist, he hurls the Keyblade at one of them. In his vision, he sees it disappear, cringing as if had been struck. To an outside view, this may look a little different...]
thisisourfuture: (...got to be kidding me.)

[personal profile] thisisourfuture 2017-02-01 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
[He was relieved up until he read the mention of horror games again. He has played some in his time.

...don't horror game protagonists never make it out quite, right? He decides not to think about that and continues until he reaches the end of the shaft. No sounds of pursuit.

...

Definitely not thinking about it.]


I'll take a look in a minute.

Let's try not to think of this like a horror game. We know Mark might have gotten sick from something. Some sort of space virus.

Where are you right now?
thisisourfuture: (Wait a minute!)

[personal profile] thisisourfuture 2017-02-01 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Hinata jerks back a step. The motion had been so fast! He coughs, playing off his brief panic and shakes his head.]

I didn't see anything. Before or after you threw that.

...

Can you tell me more about the Unversed? [It could be fruit. It could be some of the water. Unless he can get a blood sample, there's no way to tell. He chooses to keep talking. There has to be some sort of clue or solution they can find out together. Hinata spreads his hands apart.]

Are they normally invisible? [It sounded like they're not but, it's best to be sure.]

If it's a virus, then it's definitely like Biohazard.

[ Except in space. ]

But if there's some sort of space virus, there might be a cure... don't you think? And I'm in one of the cabins right now.

thisisourfuture: (...that's....)

[personal profile] thisisourfuture 2017-02-01 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
What floor?

[He ignores the rest of her talk this time. A moment and he lands inside the corridor with a relieved breath. One check and the security team are indeed heading towards where he'd told them he was.

It takes a moment to tell them he escaped, but he thinks Mark is still there. That done, he returns to talking to Nanami.]


There should be a cure. If there isn't, they'll find one. I'm boarding the elevator.

[personal profile] apartoftheirheart 2017-02-01 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
[The reaction doesn't go by unnoticed, and Ventus looks at him with an apologetic grin.]

Sorry, I didn't meant to startle you. [he says, Keyblade disappearing in a flare of light. Ventus still sees them, but hopefully he can push this aside to explain. Hopefully.]

Unversed are monsters from my world. They come in different sizes and they can be very dangerous. I'm not sure what's summoning them, but they've appeared in other worlds as well.

No, they're not supposed to be invisible. Which means I might still be seeing things. [Ventus shakes his head again, muttering,] I hope this wears off soon...

[He pauses.] I'm Ventus. Call me Ven.
thisisourfuture: (It's been something of a dream of mine)

[personal profile] thisisourfuture 2017-02-01 07:07 am (UTC)(link)
I'm Hinata Hajime. [He smiles awkwardly. Introductions are always a little embarrassing.] I've never heard of anything like that before. ...and it's okay, I just didn't expect it.

[The way the blade had disappeared had been pretty cool looking. Hinata glances at their surroundings, listening. No odd sounds right now. He looks back to Ventus.]

We did find a way to somewhat counter-act the effects of eating any of this stuff. It doesn't prevent it, but. Better than nothing.

Unless you want to let it wear off naturally.

[personal profile] virtualbytes 2017-02-01 09:28 am (UTC)(link)
It's the first floor.

[ She'll be direct this time, at least... since it's an emergency and he needs to get to her. ]

Hopefully they find one soon. I wouldn't wish an infection on anyone. And with viruses like these, they tend to be the kind where if left alone for too long, it will be unable to be cured.
visionarie: (Dissuade)

[personal profile] visionarie 2017-02-01 10:53 am (UTC)(link)
[ Vision looks down at the creature, a troubled look crossing his face as those words echo in his mind. His lips press together, unsure how to proceed until - ]

We can't leave them as they are.

[ It would be cruel. ]
backwatertrooper: (huh what - confused talking)

[personal profile] backwatertrooper 2017-02-01 12:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[Not like Cloud has a clue where they're going either, but some distance is some distance, though he almost stumbles over his feet when the strange, key-like sword just appears in the boy's hand, like a summon. Startled and realising he was asked something, he shakes his head.]

Um... Cloud. How did you---? [The question spills out before he can stop himself, though he's still moving, even with that door locked behind them. They need... he doesn't know what they need, but somewhere better defended than a hallway. More people, too. He wishes he had a weapon as easily called as that strange-looking sword, but with the job he's been given he doesn't exactly carry any.]
angele: (054. ❚)

[personal profile] angele 2017-02-01 01:55 pm (UTC)(link)
okay, cool. [ She relaxes a little more, smiling at the other man. ] I just didn't want to disturb you if you were trying to get away from others.

[ She looks past him, though, seeing the planet behind him. ] This is a really cool place to just relax and think, after all.

[ She glances back at him. ] I'm Clary, by the way. I don't think we've met?
braidedwonder: (Hearts at war drunk on dreams)

[personal profile] braidedwonder 2017-02-01 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)

Trust me you're not alone on that... As cool as Scythe, and piloting Scythe is like... it won't be a bad day when I won't need him anymore. As weird as that sounds. Still, I don't think I'd ever want him destroyed. Just in case, you know? War and Peace are never a forever type of thing..

I mean, possibly L3? Not gonna lie, I haven't been to a formal school since I was maybe 10 years old so I'm not really sure where each colony originates from? I know L2 is the Americas because I'm from there...

Trowa's all tall and acrobatic so I wouldn't rule it out...


[ Yes, he's going off of physical features to gauge Trowa's nationality. No one ever said Duo does particularly intelligent things. ]

[personal profile] itssacrifice 2017-02-01 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
We don't have much a choice.

[He wishes there was something they could do. That they had time to do it.]

Whatever it is that's turned them, it's spreading across the ship. We don't have time to figure out a cure right now. Not without putting everyone else's life on the line.
