THE SUMMER TEST DRIVE MEME
(Or Winter 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!

SPECIAL NOTE!
Since June is a special month in which we'll be breaking from the usual plot to bring back the calibrations plot, the Test Drive prompts will come in two flavors!

OPTION A: Standard Test Drive
Go ahead and treat the test drive as you normally would, using past plots or fleet locations as your setting! Here's some helpful info for some ideas.

April/May's Star System

March's Star System

Game Details

SS Iskaulit

OPTION B: Build-a-Calibration
If you'd like, you can use the info given about the Calibrations plot to design your own calibration room for any characters you want! Got a character you want to explore their inner psyche but isn't in the game yet? Go ahead and try it out! It can be a fully fleshed out room, or simply just a small part of it you'd like to play with.

Alternatively for any characters that are in the game, you can use this as a chance to either iron out, brainstorm, or test run any components of your calibration before the actual plot starts! We don't recommend posting the entirety of your calibration in this meme (as you'll have nothing new to post come plot time), but this can be a good chance to test out any parts to make sure they work how you desire.

Test drives are posted SEASONALLY, so the next one will be in September!

Right, because of altering timelines and stuff.

Timelines. Timeloops. It's causality that's important.

What do you mean?

Certain things are connected and need to stay connected. Sometimes how they connect can change, but the connections need to remain.

Time doesn't like it otherwise.

[Because, yes, to her, Time is a thinking, feeling entity.]

That makes sense to me. I think my friend might have tried to change one too many things, but he's trying to fix it.

He needs to reconnect the right pieces.

[Since sometimes trying to fix things can make things worse, if you don't know what you're doing.]

Do you often know what those pieces are?

I see lots of pieces, but not the whole puzzle.

I think he might have the opposite problem.

That's just as bad. Maybe worse.

I'm not really sure how it all works, really.

Oh, I'm Kara, by the way.

[To be fair, no one really knows how it all works, honestly. It's kind of a complicated clusterfuck.]

Time lost you for awhile, but got you back.

I'm Jennifer.
