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!

[Oh well now he's scared her so try to be comforting instead - oh where was Mrs Potts when he needed her!?]

Now don't you fret, my lady, as I said, I shall protect you as shall Lumiere ... whenever that lunkhead decides to show himself. WE will not let any harm come to you! I used to be quite the duelist in my day, I will have you know.

[Smug sniff. Yes he was - about fifteen years ago ...]

[ Just make her tea! ... With those thumbs... you don't... have...

Well, the effort is at least recognized, and there's a half-smile that's still a little wary around the edges, considering. Somehow the thought of horrible, unnatural screaming doesn't get shaken away too easily, even for someone who is really good about letting things roll off her shoulders. ]

I'd love to have seen you with a sword. I bet it was very impressive.

Lumière doesn't seem like the sort to miss important socialization. I'm sure he'll make himself known soon enough.

[He can try! ... with no thumbs. Right, he'll do what he can. Hopefully he won't pour water all over himself. Hot water, at that.]

Oh, you'll be delighted to know that I'm Quite Good.

[A snort.] Not at all. He'll probably have fireworks.
