Summer Test Drive! (Calibrations edition!)
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.
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!
taako ☂ the adventure zone
[Despite the whole 'fantasy elf wizard' look at Taako has going on (wizard hat, long ears, etc), he seems pretty comfortable using the network device; there's no fumbling or awkward angles that might be expected from someone who still uses gold pieces as currency. Instead, the camera is set at a good spot so his face is nicely illuminated, and he's sitting cross-legged on his bed in the Hospitality Desk of the Marsiva.]
So, kinda bummed about this whole kidnapping thing, could not have come at a worse time for cha boy, but I'm gonna guess that complaining won't get me anywhere, so let's cut to the chase.
[He holds up a finger, counting:]
One, all you chucklefucks who've been here longer have got to have some advice for getting those sweet ratings, and it'd just be rude to not share with the class. What are the creeps watching us into, if I'm stuck here I might as well enjoy it.
[Which means sucking up to the system, apparently, and he can do that.
He holds up a second finger.]
If anyone's seen a rowdy human fighter with sick sideburns or a shitty dwarf cleric, hit me up. I don't like, want them back, you can keep 'em, but it'd be super great to know where they're at.
[He doesn't ask about Angus, or the others. He couldn't handle the disappointment if they weren't here.]
Uh, thanks? Bye?
[Now he's not quite sure with this technology, since he has no idea the appropriate way to end a broadcast, which means he just - turns off the feed.]
b → space bar
[Discovering the shitty dive bar aboard the Iskaulit is the best thing that's happened to Taako so far. He's had a hell of a week even before the whole space reality show thing, and there's a lot of new (old?) information that he needs to digest, meaning that a drink or several is all he's really been after.
He doesn't even care what the drink involves, his only request to the bartender is that it's strong, and then he finds himself a spot to sit, opening up his spellbook so he can start looking for a solution. He's about 99% sure he doesn't have a spell for this situation specifically, but maybe he'll be struck with some kind of inspiration.]
c → calibration
[The room, oddly enough, appears to be the kitchen of a spaceship, although it's.. nicer than those found in the fleet, the design is bright and clean, with a lot of silver accents, and the entire kitchen is well fitted out, with a comfortable dining table. The table is laden with food, savory dishes and sweet pastries set out on mismatched crockery, but everything looks delicious, and the smell is enticing.
There are two figures at the counter, heads bent together as if they're sharing some grand secret, though no one could be blamed for wondering if there's simply a mirror in the middle of the room; the two elves are so similar, down to the bright red robes they're both wearing. The only difference visible from a distance is that one of them is tricky to discern, almost like a magic eye image.
It's this figure who speaks first when someone enters the room, You've got company, bubbeleh.
Taako looks up, away from the other figure, and regards the new arrival with a hint of disdain.]
Hate to break the bad news, but the kitchen's super fucking closed, you better run along.
[Never mind that there are no exits.]
d → wildcard
[ooc: hit me up with something from any of the world's or on a ship! he'd have the cook augment and will be bemoaning the state of the kitchen onboard.]
b.
You're new.
hullo hullo
[He's been trying not to look too out of place.]
no subject
[ She smiles, bright. ]
First drink on me if you tell me your name and who does your hair.
no subject
[This is possibly the easiest free drink he's ever gotten, which is the best kind of drink.]
Taako's the answer to both those questions, bubbeleh. This is all me. [He runs a hand through his hair.] And argan oil, that part goes a long way.
no subject
Taako? Like the food?
no subject
Taako, like, the famous wizard chef? T to the double A, K, O.
no subject
[ She doesn't watch TV. ]
What country do you broadcast from?
no subject
[He's still adjusting to the technology changes, and the memories of previous technology he'd forgotten. But he knows what a broadcast is, at least.]
But I was in Fearun before I got here, not exactly home, but close enough.
no subject
You used magic?
no subject
[He casts prestidigitation, just to cause a little harmless shower of sparks from his fingertips. It's the lowest level of showing off that he does.]
no subject
[ Nish's tone is that shade of cheeky when she's seen something a hundred times before, but is 100% fucking with you. ]
Where're you from? Fearun, you said?
no subject
Sure, let's go with that. [call out post for griffin: didn't fucking name their homeworld] I guess you could call me well traveled, this whole thing isn't anything new. Just the ship is way shittier.
