// 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. |
Vision | MCU
I'm afraid I can't accept that answer.
[ Vision can be heard attempting to talk to the creature bearing down on him. Suffice it to say, it doesn't particularly take his words to heart which is made obvious when it tries to sink his teeth into him only to be met with air as it crashes straight through him as if he were a ghost. Vision turns around to face it, a troubled look on his face when the creature quickly gets up and tries to claw him again and again and again. ]
I don't wish to harm you but I can't allow you to continue in this manner.
Scenerio 4: The Ship
[ The deck of the ship offers a spectacular view not only of the planet but of the moon and the sun beyond. It's why he's drawn here when all the world is sleeping. It's comforting. An unimaginable painting. Vision is transfixed by it and hovers a foot in the air, his eyes trained on the microwave background that flared to life in front of him. That is, until he hears a noise behind him. It diverts his attention back to the present. He turns around, his eyes catching sight of the late night wanderer. ]
Hello. [ He nods quietly as he slowly hovers down, one foot gently landing on the ground then the other. ] I didn't expect someone here at this time.
no subject
Hello. [She offers a smile, if only to make up for her initial surprise, to set the tone that she wanted to make as many friends here as possible.] I'm actually finding it a little hard to keep track of time here. It's... hard to sleep.
no subject
Time is an invention. We partition our day by the arbitrary rotation of a planet. So you see, [ he offers a small smile ] it would be odd if you did.
no subject
The sight was amazing.]
I've read many things that would support that statement. [Time was indeed such a weird concept. If only she could control it... Not that it was possible by any means, but it was interesting to think about someone having such possibilities at their fingertips.]
I'm glad it's not just me. I was starting to worry that I wasn't cut out for adjusting here.
no subject
If I may [ he looks at her], are you a new addition to the crew?
scenario 4
If you were wanting to be alone, I could always go... [ She gestures back behind her, taking a slight step in that direction. She hadn't expected to be alone, but she also didn't want to bother someone else's peace if they'd found some here. ]
no subject
You don't need to apologize. I don't mind the company.
no subject
[ 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?
no subject
We haven't.
[ Of this, he is sure. After all, he keeps a log of every crew member he's met in his data banks, along with every ship, species, etc.
He turns to face her, a hand coming up to lightly touch his chest. ]
I am called Vision. [ He bends his head slightly. ] It's nice to meet you Clary.
no subject
She's quiet for a moment when she asks: ] Do you a favorite thing to look at from here? Like a star or a specific spot on the planet? [ She can't help herself. They're both here and have never met. She wouldn't mind getting to know more of her crew. ]
no subject
I suppose [ he presses his lips together in thought ] I tend to look at the microwave background more than I do infra-red or ultraviolet.
no subject
Not that she knows what exactly Vision is... she's not sure yet if it's rude to ask those kinds of questions. Or is it ruder to assume? ]
You can really do that? See the different kinds of wavelengths? [ Her question and interests sounds genuine. Like being a Shadowhunter, being here is just learning more aspects of life she didn't know existed before. Seems like she's always learning these days. ]
3;
Watch out! [He's already in the air, preparing to fly to the rescue when he notices the creature has passed through the other being. Okay, maybe this guy has it covered then.]
It's no use trying to talk it down. Whatever-whoever it was before, they're gone.
[He wishes he could say that there was another way. That they could find a way to reverse whatever this is. But at the rate it's spreading...they don't have a choice.]
3;
You speak as if you know who they are.
no subject
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.
no subject
We can't leave them as they are.
[ It would be cruel. ]
no subject
[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.
no subject
Not everyone's. [ He starts to descend. ] Only one.
no subject
[He shakes his head.]
Better yet, what exactly do you think you can do for them? Do you even have a plan?
no subject
The ship was medical facilities. They must have a way to study and perhaps find a cure for their ailment. But in order for that to happen, they'll need them alive.
[ He looks back at Apollo. ]
I'll stay here with them until the ship arrives.
[ Then, he'd restrain it and allow the medical team a chance to reverse their condition. ]
no subject
That's assuming that they also have a way to keep them contained on the ship. We don't even know what they are now.
no subject
78.4%
The probability the ship has the capability to contain them.
[ Even if there was a 1% chance, Vision would not abandon them. Not when he there were no other pressing matters. ]
no subject
You sound pretty sure of that.
Eerily so. But Apollo has been around enough strangeness in his life to know when not to question something too much.
That percentage is over a fifty-fifty shot at least, which makes success a better possibility. And it's not like he wants to abandon these people.]
Fine. What can I do to help?
[Aside from try to hold these things off and try not to get bitten.]
no subject
I hadn't expected to be here at this time myself. [He has a mug of something in his hand. It looks like hot chocolate, it probably has something alcoholic in it.] Had I known you'd be here, I'd have brought you a drink. [But that doesn't stop him from taking a long sip as he strides closer.]
It's a sight to behold, isn't it?
