Summer Test Drive! (Calibrations edition!)

[thespaceopera]

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!

A continent on...my world. [It feels entirely wrong to use said identifier. Daenerys motions vaguely at the window and the stars beyond.] We are beyond our worlds, I think.

[So that leaves them relying on each other.]

This could be an elaborate dream; a vision we share. In the end, it doesn't matter. I want to get to the bottom of why we are here and who is responsible.

[sakabroto]

Yeah...we're in space, so it'd definitely beyond our worlds.

[Ryuji scratches his head. Could this be another version of something like Mementos? A shared cognition slash fever dream that everyone here is caught up in? If that were true though, his Metaverse Nav would totally still be working and it is most certainly not.]

But as for the why and who? Nooo idea. They said we were on some reality TV show so weirdos across the universe can watch us live our lives. It's totally stupid!

[valyrianstorm]

I do remember hearing that explanation. [It makes a little more sense now.] The more odd we are - the more foreign - the more entertaining we must be to those...watching.

[She smirks without humor, real anger in her eyes.]

I see no reason to go along with their stunts, do you? We can excel at being boring.

[sakabroto]

Wait, you really think that'd work?

[Be boring. Live the good high school student life, as Morgana would say, to avoid detection.]

Just be borin' and they'll let us go?

[valyrianstorm]

You fight when your enemy is weak, helpless; you stay still, patient when your enemy is acting like a rash fire. If they want entertainment, we should give them the opposite.

[Even foreign looks become tedious when there is no spirit behind them. Daenerys can feign soullessness again if it gets her home.]
