// 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.

[ Nothing can be proven!! ]

Be more careful.

[ Clary owing him one isn't as satisfying as Alec thought it would be. Just another way in which his life is unfair. ]

What were you even doing out here on your own?

[ What he's not saying is that she's lucky she didn't give Jace a heart attack over her being lost. Alec would have ended up looking for her anyway, but with the added bonus of a stressed out Jace in tow. ]

[He screws up his face trying to figure out if he's seen something vaguely familiar, but eventually comes up short. The mimicry at least gets an amused snort before he shakes his head. It sounds, from her recollection, mostly harmless, which would explain the surprise that brought her here in the first place.]

I don't know, I guess that depends on what sound a rabbit makes?

[No, he's not letting this go. The banter is--for all he's known Gwen of a whole 30 seconds--familiar. More familiar than the terrain, or whatever lurks out there ahead of them with an apparent affinity for fingers.]

Whatever it was, I'm not too interested in letting it get the drop on us.

[And that's familiar too, at least if he continues to treat all of this like nothing more than a particularly long and extended mission from the Jedi Council. Then he doesn't have to consider how very far away any of that authority, or anything actually familiar, really is.

Unclipping the lightsaber hilt from his belt, he motions in the direction of the sound, and then follows his own lead into the dense foliage.]

You don't want to join in?

[ Coop's committed, okay. He sings his question to Nekomaro, extending his hands, as though that gesture's gonna get him to sing. Just that, though. ]

Just one, huh?

[ All of these are so important!!! ]

I'll take whatever's behind door number three. Communication.

Is that so? Well, not to worry! Give it a few quintants after you start getting to know the place, and you'll be better adjusted than you think! [ It makes some sense, he supposes. All these different planets and cultures. It wouldn't be possible for everyone on board to be familiar with the same technologies. ]

Now, for instance, you know that that 'little round thing' is one of the training drones! [ May Coran one day learn that the term droid is honestly better. ] It's very effective for raising the stakes without letting things turn lethal! Which is helpful, since I'm not sure this one's got the footwork to handle it much longer.

[He pauses... waves his hand dismissively... then he nods and takes a deep breath.]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

[It comes out more of booming shout than anything else.]

This and that here and there.

[ That feeling when finger math and almost zero canon backstory are all you have... but at least you know you have game with tea towels and ladles full of green space goo. ]

I have to admit, my duties have been a bit more based in politics and engineering since I was assigned to the Castle to begin with.

I don't understand! Why is there all of this hate..!?
Why can't we just eat fruit and vegetables— you don't have to kill those things..!
[ says??? the man?? who loves meat wrapped in meat....
ok well just the idea of using a noose is just coming across as cruel to him.. ]


If you are going to kill, kill delicately!
[ ?....
also he's just going to stand there in the nude.... no problem.. ]

[could you think of a better idea, Karamatsu? hey, why don't you pull out all your guns? then they could hunt for real]

...How does one kill delicately?

By shooting an arrow—
[ HOE, DON'T DO IT ]

—through the heart.
[ NO. ]

[personal profile] relieable 2017-02-06 03:22 am (UTC)(link)

[mmmmmboy. you're so...]

Yeah, well. I don't have an arrow. Or a bow.
glitterpants: (( 31 karamatsu girl ))

[personal profile] glitterpants 2017-02-06 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.. weaponry?
[ a pause. ]
I have something I think we could use... that would probably kill something quickly, at least.

[ WHY DIDN'T HE SAY ANYTHING EARLIER... ]
relieable: (Default)

[personal profile] relieable 2017-02-06 03:27 am (UTC)(link)

[Osomatsu jumps to his feet, still holding onto the end of the vine]

WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY ANYTHING SOONER?

[probably because Osomatsu said he would handle it, right? but he even asked Karamatsu for something sharp just minutes ago...]
glitterpants: (( 36 karamatsu girl ))

[personal profile] glitterpants 2017-02-06 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Why didn't you ask sooner?
[ you asked for something sharp or a knife.. which isn't what he has. ]

[MORE SQUINTING. just. trying to bore holes through Karamatsu's face with his gaze. Osomatsu feels like socking him, but maybe he should wait until Karamatsu has revealed what he has]

Don't just argue with me! Let's have it!

Hinata Hajime? [A smile tugs at his lips as the name simmers on his tongue.] That's a cool name.

[The mention of a possible "cure" that could eat away at the hallucinations almost sounds too good to be true. Ventus certainly doesn't want to wait for the effects of the fruit to dissolve naturally. Especially with Unversed dancing in and out of his vision - it's very unnerving and he feels conflicted. He does not like this feeling...]

Really? That sounds great! [he pauses, wondering if its some form of medicine.] Is it back at your camp?

dorothy?

[ first thing's first: ]

are you safe?
fujita: (— 001)

[personal profile] fujita 2017-02-06 12:25 pm (UTC)(link)
when did you get here
are you okay??
I'm all right


[ god, she's glad he's here. even just that one message, that one question, makes her feel less alone on this ship, surrounded though she may be by strangers. ]

how are you handling the phone?
toto is here too
wizardguard: (pic#11015242)

[personal profile] wizardguard 2017-02-06 12:37 pm (UTC)(link)
not long ago

I'm fine


[ as fine as he can be, waking up still with no memories of his past in space. ]

I'm not as quick as you responding on this communicator

[ in other words, he's slowly getting to grips with the phone.

of course the dog is with her, which brings him to: ]
sylvie is not with me

[ texting is something dorothy has grown up with, that comes naturally to her. she can't quite imagine what it must be like for him — or she can. it's probably not unlike her being thrown into a world of magic that has no electricity.

though this ship is a lot more high tech than anything dorothy has ever seen. they're in space. she's not sure yet that she prefers it over oz, but the showers are great. ]


maybe she's somewhere else on this ship

[ dorothy doesn't want to consider the possibility of sylvie being all alone in oz. again. ]

Ah.. sure! Let me go get it.
[ ok.. so he's turning and lightly jogging back to the hot spring, bare ass simply just out there. Was he going to get dressed too? Maybe.
He's going back to his things, which consisted on his body suit and.. what appeared to be a gun.

A revolver, actually. A cool one.
When he returns so Osomatsu, he's ... still naked, but he has this gun. ]


Heh.. do you think this would be useful?
[ screams....... ]
relieable: (Default)

[personal profile] relieable 2017-02-06 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)

[um. holy shit!

Osomatsu stares at it. like he doesn't know quite what to do with it. then lifts his gaze back up to his brother's face]


...Where the hell did you get that? [actually, the question is more like, WHO LET YOU HAVE A GUN]

Forget the bloody rabbit.

[ Mostly because, after thinking for a moment, she realizes she doesn't actually know what kind of noise rabbits make. Not that it matters all that much, considering man-eating rabbits on alien planets probably don't sound like rabbits from Earth. Whatever that sound may be.

She doesn't mind the banter, though. It's familiar to her, too. It reminds her of the older days on her team, the way Owen wouldn't let things go or Ianto would mutter a well-placed jab towards Jack. For out of place she feels, it's an odd moment of familiarity for her, too. ]


Let's see if we can get the drop on whatever it is first.

[ Gwen drew her gun, keeping it pointed low as she moved slowly behind him. She took his lead, keeping a few yards distance between them so, if he heard the sound again, they might be able to come around whatever it is from both sides. Whatever it actually was, she just hoped that it wasn't something impenetrable. ]

...He punched through a bulkhead. I don't think he's after me exactly. [Or he wouldn't have come this way. He slips inside and turns to face her. Again, he feels an instant kind of relief at the sight of her.

She's here. Alive. Just like Nidai is. It gives him hope that eventually they might all find their way here. Safe and away from all the troubles they'd faced.]


...But it was definitely Mark. The glasses on its face. It wouldn't make sense for them to be there and trapped like they were there for any other reason.

He didn't need to lure me in. He was watching me from the hole he punched in the bulkhead.
