Fall Test Drive!
THE FALL TEST DRIVE MEME
(Or Spring Test Drive for you Southern Hemisphere folks!)
Got someone you want to try out before you app? Well this is the post for it! Feel free to use anything that fits in the setting of Drift Fleet! Want to play bumper shuttles? Want to go wild in a med bay? Play around with the current plot? Have at it!
Threads from the Test-Drive may be made game "canon" but DO NOT count toward AC!
FOR NEW PLAYERS: You DO NOT NEED an invite to participate in the TEST DRIVE! If you decide to APP into the game, ONLY THEN will you need an invite from a current player!
Helpful Info for Ideas!:
Test drives are posted SEASONALLY, so the next one will be in late December!
B | i'm sorry, if you were looking for a serious thread, this....this is not it.
Ok seriously, that thing looks like a cross between a fancy blue pigeon and some kind of duck, the neck and breast covered in long, thin black-blue-and-white feathers. The crowning glory of whatever this bird is would have to be the head, which sports a fan-shaped crest of bright orange feathers longer than a man's hand. How majestic.
The bird is regarding Dante nervously through one beady white eye. The person, on the other hand, couldn't be less impressed.]
Happy now?
[The bird chooses to punctuate the exchange by opening its glorious black beak and release a beautifully nasal [BNERP]. ]
nah it's all good
The.
Ever.
Loving.
Fuck
Dante's seen some weird shit as a demon hunter. Demons in general are very odd. But this might just take the cake. And it takes a lot to leave him speechless, but he is certainly that for a long, long moment.]
...okay. I'm high. I have to be.
this is all i could ever want in a tag, thank you, friend
Rizzo grins raising an eyebrow before actually shooting Dante a fingergun, of all things.]
If that turns out to be true, hook a guy up, willya?
i am to please
If I can fucking remember what I did with it, sure. I'll pass it around.
[He glances at the bird, almost wanting to comment-]
The fuck is that thing?
[-and doing so because that's what he does.]

It appears to be a type of grouse. The feet are anisodactyl, so we can rule out most kinds of songbirds, our friend here lives on the ground. The wings are fully formed, so they can definitely fly if they have to but they prefer to hide from predators if they can. The beak is heavier, but long, which would indicate they're omnivores, their diet being berries, seeds, small insects—basically whatever they can find—note the overbite and slight hook to the beak.
Plumage will tell you this one is male—I observed a few pairs, the female has a brown-black coloration and a shorter crest, typical of most species, and very useful for the aforementioned hiding technique. The lack of damage to the feathers tells me he's a young male, possibly from this year's roost, not sure.
I figure when in danger, the males distract a predator by flying off in the hopes that whatever wants to eat them will follow, but that's just a workin' theory.
[A beat, and he looks up at Dante.]
I'm callin' him Honker. [NERP-BNAAARP.]
no subject
Dante manages to snap to when Rizzo stares up at him and mentions something about a honker.]
...don't know if I'd call that thing Honker because that doesn't sound like a honk. That sounds like something is lodged up its asshole and is trying to crawl out through its throat.
