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!

[Eh, who's Alexander "I met my friends in a bar when I was a teen" Hamilton to judge?

He rubs his shoulder as he turns, like he can somehow force the protesting muscles to behave that way]

Yeah probably, but they're gonna have a problem trying to find enough people to rebel against, the government doesn't seem too centralized here. It'll probably be like trying to land a punch on something made out of water.

-Also seriously, like what were they serving, actual gold?

True. Better luck somewhere else? But yeah, seriously! How're you supposed to have a good time there when a shot wipes out half your wallet?

[Pout.]

[allshotsfired]

I think they're counting on wiping out your entire wallet. Also shots are always gonna be expensive, you gotta find someone splitting a pint or a bottle of wine and get in on that.

I never really got the chance to, uh, go to bars back home, so I'm trying to learn the tips and tricks now.

[Mostly because he's a teenager. Late teens, but still a teenager. And while alcohol was definitely snuck in to the Garrison by several students, that's about as far as his experience goes.

But hey, no drinking age in space! That he knows of, anyway.]

[that little chip in his head feeds him bits of information like, you know, how some places have laws about underage drinking. It takes him a second to get over the feeling, but then-]

...It's cool that I'm telling you this, right? I don't wanna find out that I broke like ten laws telling you how to get cheaper drinks. I mean if I'm gonna get arrested, I want it to be worth it.
