// TEST DRIVE MEME_
// 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. |

Haha, wow! He backed down right away! Scary, scary Re-L! [She looks pleased and comes out from behind the other woman to pick up one of her drawings. She frowns at it after a moment of consideration, tilting her head one way and the other, moving the picture along with her head movements.]
He was really mad though... [There's no question there, exactly, but it's clear she's not entirely understanding why]
no subject
[ Sure, Pino might annoy the shit out of her on a good day, but there was no way she was letting some shop keeper breathe down the little autoreiv's throat either. After all, she had yet to learn all of the fineries of human interaction just yet, and until she did there was no sense in not protecting her like one would a child. Either way, she thinks they ought to be moving along, watching Pino pick up her drawings and move around near her like a hawk.
She lets her move away for a couple of minutes... ]
Some people don't have control of themselves like people did in Romdeau, Pino.. [ Reminder: no where is near as controlling as Romdeau, Pino. ] Still, we should probably get moving. I'm done my shopping. Did you want to get some new clothes too?
no subject
Okay! [She beams at her and then glances around, examining the other people thoughtfully when they move. She's actually quiet for a good minute or two before she speaks again] Hey, Re-L? Do you think it's a good thing?
[And then, realizing that might nee clarification, she adds:] That they're not in control. It's like a dome here, but the people aren't like dome people at all. [Or at least not like Romdeau citizens.]
no subject
[ Before, and not that long ago, considering getting Pino some new clothes probably wouldn't have even occurred to her. After all, the little autoreiv didn't really do the whole fashion thing like Iggy had, so far as she had seen, and considering she wouldn't grow up or anything.. it was fine to leave her in her usual clothes and continue on. But here they were, in some alien place, without Vincent and Kristeeva and.. maybe Pino deserved some new clothes. They had a place to keep things, now, instead of the Rabbit's cramped quarters, anyways. ]
Do I think what is a good thing? [ She prompts, sparing a glance down at the little autoreiv next to her with one of those quizzical looks. ]
No, they aren't like fellow citizens. [ The dark haired teen pauses for a moment to consider Pino's question, though, thinking back to those she'd met on her mission, etcetera - ] Well, some are, I guess. They like to follow orders and stick closely to what the captain says even though we don't even know him. It's.. good and bad. People are more free, and I guess that would mean they were happier.
In some ways, though, that kind of personal control can be an asset that a lot of these people don't have. We don't really know the people who brought us on the ship, after all, right?
no subject
Right... [They don't know enough to know if they're safe here or not. And it's a little off-putting that they expect everyone to just listen to them like this... She looks at Re-L then, tilting her head. I guess that would mean they were happier, she'd said.]
Is Re-L happy?
no subject
Happy? [ Re-L's versions of happy had changed so many times in the past few weeks.. months? it was hard to keep track. First, she thought she'd be happy if she learned the truth, which lead to more restlessness. Then, it was happiness in finding something that she was looking for.. though what that something was, now, wasn't even clear to her. Let's just say someone who's been expected to just be content all of her life was having trouble finding contentment again after all the upheaval she'd experienced before.
She pauses, for a moment, thinking about it, and then, maybe shockingly, shakes her head 'no.' ]
I actually think I was more content on the Rabbit, traveling as we wanted to. But there's no use in thinking back on things like that now, right?
