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!

I said I had an idea, but I'm not sure. Even if I did - how do you plan to make them tell you anything?

_{[ He cocks his head at her, not unbelieving of the fact she might be able to, just not sure how she planned to do it beyond batting her eyes or throwing them against a wall. Neither of which felt productive. ]}

I have ways.

[Her response is a huff. She glances back and forth again, not at all subtle as she looks to see if they're being watched.

Then she pulls a loop of lasso out from under her cloak.]

This reveals the truth.

[universal_charm]

_{[ He glances quickly down at the lasso and back at her, his brow srunched up slightly, perhaps looking darker than it was in the dim of the bar. ]}

As in it... what? Forces people to tell you the truth?

[amazonfresh]

[The lasso goes away again.]

Yes, it does. We can trust whatever they say while under its influence.

[She notices his frown, but doesn't understand it. Isn't this better? Diana trusts it.]

[universal_charm]

_{[ His look does not go away at that, finger tapping on the side of his bottle. If anything, his look might have gotten a touch darker. ]}

I suggest we try being more subtle first. A lasso isn't subtle.

_{[ That wasn't his real problem with it, but a moral discussion wasn't worth the effort right now. ]}

[amazonfresh]

[That is silly. Her way is simpler and has less chance of misinformation.]

You do not like it?
