// 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.

clary fray ( shadowhunters )

[angele]

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! 004. ❚ network ( un : artsy ) 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. 000. ❚ wild cardk ( open ) ( open to any other kind of prompts! make up anything or pm first if you have any questions! )

Do you remember the path you took to get there? I can come break you out.

[angele]

YES! Thank you!!!

I think. Mostly. I'm pretty sure I remember.

First off - do you know where Super Moon Cafe is? That would make it a lot easier if so.

[sixth]

I think so? Yeah. Tell you what. I'll head over now and retrace your steps from there.

You doing okay in there otherwise?

[angele]

Thank you. Again! Let me know when you're there, because that'll be easiest for me to guide you from.

I'm totally fine, though. It's only been about 20 minutes and most of the was me trying to suck up my pride to admit I got lost at all. So nothing really hurt ut maybe my pride a little.

[sixth]

Give me about five minutes.

And hey, don't worry. I'm sure every one of us here has been stuck in more than one stupid situation. I know I have.

[angele]

Glad to know I'm not the only one to get lost on here.

Maybe we should start carrying a map with us everywhere we go?

Text; un: fantastica

[glittermage]

You've never taken a lock-picking course before? What are they teaching the children these days?

[ He's so helpful! ]

[ ooc: Am fine with recognizing his un (maybe they know about each other already). Not knowing is also fine!) ]

MAGNUS!!!

[angele]

I think that even if I had taken one on Earth, it still wouldn't be enough for spaceship self-locking door shenanigans.

( I'm fine with them having known about each other a little while! )

<333

[glittermage]

​Point taken.

Don't you have an unlock rune or something? Angelic shenanigans surely surpass spaceship shenanigans. I'd be sorely disappointed otherwise.

[ Yeah, yeah, it might be a sore point that he can't portal them back to Earth. Magic has its limitations, and the distance of several thousand light years is it, apparently. ]

[angele]

Should I test that on the spaceship?

I'm kind of nervous to test that on a spaceship....

[glittermage]

​What's the worst that can happen? As long as the door doesn't lead to the vacuum of neverending space. Which I assume it doesn't, since you say you just walked through that door.

[ He ponders on this some more. ]

Of course, if you overdo it, you might open not just the door but the structures holding this ship together...

[ Nevermind him, he's just theorizing. ]

[angele]

I think you just successfully talked me out of never using an unlocking rune on this ship.

[ If she wasn't paranoid before! ]

un: em

[cogere]

I might be nearby.

[ which isn't true by normal standards, but when you're a vampire with super speed who can sweep through locations in minutes, everything is nearby, technically.

he'll figure it out where clary is by process of elimination, already whooshing around the ship. ]

Did you notice anything distinct before you became trapped? Perhaps a unique panel or doorway?

[angele]

Thank you kind stranger hero!

In the spirit of being completely honest, I thought I saw a sign pointing down a hall for public bathrooms. Then I opened the only door there and went into the hallway and so I thought maybe it's at the end of the hall. Some places are set up like that.

I don't know how much of that actually helps...

[cogere]

A little.

May I ask if you're human? Don't feel obligated to respond. I only ask because of my own abilities.

[angele]

Shadowhunter, actually.

Can I ask why you asked?

[cogere]

It's easier to find someone when you know know what they are.

Of course, I have to admit you'd be my first Shadowhunter.

[ then, a moment later: ]

Forgive my rudeness. Elijah Mikaelson, eldest Original vampire, at your service.

[ being out doesn't matter when he's the most powerful by far #blessed ]

[angele]

Woah. Original like... first vampire? [ She's met vampires but an original vampire? She didn't even think about that kind of thing. ]

Nice to meet you, Elijah. I'm Clary Fray.

Thank you for helping me, too. Is there anything I need to do to help you help me?

@lightwood

[jarred]

So you're lost, is what you're saying.

[angele]

Is this Alec or Izzy....?

[jarred]

Alec.

[ the lightwood that's probably still inclined to be helpful, but grumpy about it. ]

[angele]

Then I'm directionally challenged right now.

[ Not lost. No one said she was lost! ]

[jarred]

And you need saving from that?

[angele]

I need at least a door opened.

Just one, though.
