// 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.

4a obviously

(eyes blink into being on the surface of the water before the rest of his head follows suit, rising from the water like it's rejecting it. which would be very unobservant, when ripples of it are rushing to give him form.)

I just had the worst day— (cuts himself off, though, spotting sasuke's steady stare.) Uh, hey, were you looking for me?

(obviously someone pointlessly watching the surface of the water is searching for him, that's the only deduction he has for this situation.)

who are you 1/3

[eyeforaneye]

[ There's a split second wherein one of his brows lifts momentarily, showcasing the sum total of his surprise. ]

2/3

[eyeforaneye]

3/3

[eyeforaneye]

No.

[ And he's back to scanning the water. ]

a loser

[liquidate]

...

(staring up at him, then down. then back up, hands slapping the surface of the water.)

Ah— you're finally taking my advice and using suiton!

my soulmate

[eyeforaneye]

No.

Put on some clothes. [ he's not even fully formed out of the water ]

BATS EYELASHES AT

[liquidate]

(not today, satan. ignoring the order, since he's planning to chill at the waist regardless. no dick contest today. yet.)

Y'know, you could save a lot of time here by just telling me what you're searching for. Like I said, you need to practice explaining things.

;)

[eyeforaneye]

[ To his credit Sasuke does have a memory of that largely one-sided conversation. That has to count for something. ]

Dog tags. [ And which he obviously took to heart, as evidenced by this incredible explanation. ]

If you had a bad day then that means you've been out finding trouble on your own. What did you do?

[liquidate]

Oh, did you drop them? (that's... kind of hilarious, but he's not saying anything.

a moment of silence, hands smoothing over the water where the surface seems to ripple with some subdued vibration, before,) Looks like they're on the bottom of the pool. Yeaaah, they slid down to the deep end. Better try to fish 'em out with some kind of water jutsu before they go down the drain...

(IGNORING THE QUESTION ENTIRELY...)

1/4

[eyeforaneye]

[ Yeah he knows what you're doing you little shit. ]

2/4

[eyeforaneye]

3/4

[eyeforaneye]

[ crouching down closer... ]

4/4

[eyeforaneye]

[ Before he's planting his hand on Suigetsu's head, SHOVING DOWNWARD. ]

You're some kind of water jutsu. Retrieve them if you want to be useful.

1/2

[liquidate]

Oi, Sasuke—

(head barely staying above the surface as the rest of his body fans out into the surrounding water.)

2/2

[liquidate]

(squinting up at him with a look of disdain...

you're. so. rude.

but it's as easy as raising an arm out of the water, fingers beading, expending no effort to reach them while remaining motionless beneath sasuke's forceful hand. the water does the rest, the dogtags plucked from the bottom of the pool by an unseen forced, jetting out with a contained splash and solid swipe of a catch. they dangle, wet metal clinking together dully. let's hope they're waterproof.)

I want soup later.

[eyeforaneye]

[ His expression doesn't shift at Suigetsu's complaint nor at his useful little trick that dredges the small tags back up from the bed of the pool, head only tilting as he loosens his grip and offers his palm up. ]

You always want soup later. I'm not hearing anything new just yet.

We can arrange it if you're patient. [ but when... ]

[liquidate]

How about after we get outta the pool? You have to eat sometime, you can't just go training all day and night.

(i mean... he can, but he shouldn't. that's basic preservation and suigetsu knows quite a lot about it, considering the fact that he's still alive after all of his run-ins with sasuke types...

in any case, as ordered, the dogtags are coiled into sasuke's palm.)

What about stew? That's easy to eat, but definitely not soup.

[eyeforaneye]

[ His thumb brushes over each dog tag in turn, first ensuring that they seem relatively undamaged by their short submersion before he's again focusing on his teammate. ]

I'm not in the pool. [ pedantically, first and foremost ]

But I suppose I could eat. Do you have any funds to take advantage of?

[liquidate]

On the pool, whatever.

(ROLLING HIS EYES, GOD.

but... ah.)

I was thinking that after we've finished eating, we could make Obito foot the bill. I know his room numbeeer.

1/2

[eyeforaneye]

[ Allow him to think that over, including but not limited to Obito's involvement with the Infinite Tsukuyomi and the war, his hand in attacking their family, his manipulation of him following his brother's death, the near suicide mission he sent them on to capture Bee, his pivotal role in resurrecting Madara, and his purposeful arrangement of the attack on the kage summit and his interaction with Danzou. ]

2/2

[eyeforaneye]

[ okay he's done thinking ]

Sure. We can drain his account first and foremost.

[liquidate]

Yeees! That's what I like to hear, Sasuke. (he's ordering everything on the menu.) Hahaha, if he's got a problem with it, he can answer to you!

(and if you thought he was going to say "me", you were wrong.)

Should we go now? (already pulling himself out of the water, with gusto.)

[eyeforaneye]

[ goddamnit, w h y ]

... put on some clothes first. I don't want to deal with the questions.

[liquidate]

...

(buzz kill.)

Fine. Then we'll go!

[eyeforaneye]

And then we'll go. [ confirmed ]

Though if Obito feels like starting an argument with you when I'm not around, that can't be helped.
