// 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. |

[She recognizes the face of a Galra and ducks her head, thinking now back to what she has said on this. Has she said anything bad of their kind. Will it be a problem? Is the Galra Empire here too? Yes, it's going to be awkward, but if she understands and learns more, she will be okay with him.]
[Head down and eyes averted though she speaks softly]
I know of some technology. It is not wholly unfamiliar, yet I have owned none as such myself. [She glanced up more then, and her voice is firmer.] But I have seen Voltron with my own eyes, and that is all the technology I need to know exists.
no subject
On this ship there is ample opportunity to learn what you will and own the technology you desire.
[ Thace isn't familiar with all of it, but he is familiar with most of it. And he has nothing to do, so... ]
If you require a teacher, I would be happy to lend my knowledge.
no subject
[She can't keep the look of surprise off her face, brows raised and looking to him, very unsure.]
I am already learning much in such a short time here. [She stated, careful of her words at first, but then still, a tint of surprise as she said:] You? You would lend me your knowledge? [If that sounds a bit accusatory, you have to forgive her.]
no subject
I do not mean to imply that you cannot learn on your own. My offer was meant only as a gesture of goodwill.
no subject
Please forgive me for my distrust, though I do appreciate your gesture of goodwill, it is just... you are Galra, are you not?
no subject
[ And since the Druids, and presumably Zarkon now, are aware of his real allegiance, he feels secrecy is no longer required. ]
Former commander of Zarkon's army and one of the Blades of Marmora. We are ally to Voltron and enemy to Zarkon.
no subject
[Shay is quick to trust, which can be a bad thing, and she knows she will be speaking to Keith and the others first before she puts full trust in him, but...for now she feels she can trust him in this matter. She will be mindful until she knows for sure, but she will not speak ill to him.]
Thace of the Blades of Marmora. [a small bow of her head in greeting.] I am Shay of the Balmera, ally of Voltron as well. Forgive me my unease. My people have had long standing problems with the Galra Empire.
