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!

Just the normal points: they deserve better, the government isn't treating them right...

[He makes a frustrated gesture with one hand]

I actually don't have shit to go on, there's not even much of a government for me to get 'em to blame. Like there's something, but damn if a guy like me can get people to talk about it. I'm going off anything I can get when a news channel comes on.

Yeah, I ain't been on the planet long enough to get much of anything, either. We can sure as hell try, though. [Not entirely true. He's visited a couple asteroids, but got more wrapped up in talking to fellow crew members about art rather than politics.]

[allshotsfired]

I sure hope so, I think I might owe the last place about a hundred. Someone mighta gotten thrown into a table and broke it.

[this sheepish grin is the look of a man who is 100% or either the thrower or... the throwee, don't look at him like that.]

[unbridles]

Damn, guess I shoulda run into you earlier. [Bar fights! Those are the best.] Lemme know if you got hurt or anything, I can help.

[allshotsfired]

Nah, I'm fine, couldn't be better

[about then his body betrays him and he winces a little, damn you body]

[And John's just raising his eyebrows a little there.]

You sure? You don't look too fine, my dear.
