TEST DRIVE #002



TEST DRIVE #002


( 0 0 1 ) » WAKE UP
Were you asleep or were you unconscious? It doesn't matter: when you come to, there's an odd taste in your mouth and there's a low-level mechanical hum in the air. Your head hurts and you feel nauseous. You aren't anywhere you know: everything around you is metal, from the floor you lie on all the way to the ceiling. You are dressed in a jumpsuit you definitely weren't wearing before.

"We tried to save the world. I think— I think we did the opposite."

The message repeats on a loop. If you look for its source, you find a comms device on the floor next to you. The logo on its wallpaper says REVERIE TERMINAL. Upon closer inspection, you find the same logo on your jumpsuit.

Welcome to your new home. What choice do you have but to explore your surroundings?
( 0 0 1 . 1 ) » WAKE UP WHERE?
When you wake up, you find that you're not alone. But more importantly, you find that you're in a closet. An empty closet, bar you and your new companion. It's small, cramped, and there is no door that you can see. The ceiling is low, there is barely any lights, only some coming from the tiny flashlight clipped to your suit's shoulder. You cannot be sure that there is any air coming in to the room.

Are these grooves in the wall supposed to mean something?



( 0 0 2 ) » OBSERVATION DECK
There were no windows in the corridor you woke up in and no windows in any of the crew quarters you might have checked for occupants — but there are plenty of windows on the uppermost level of the station, deck 1. In fact, there are windows from floor to ceiling all along the circumference of the station's circular deck, and it's possible to walk along it all. What it shows is a strange solar system you've never seen before and a planet that might resemble one you know, but certainly isn't the same.

You're in space. You don't know where you are. Neither does anyone else.




( 0 0 3 ) » BAR
On deck 3, you find the bar. Tucked away from the crew quarters, it's dimly lit, there are bar stools thrown down on the floor and what looks like some very old drink spills, crusty and dark against the bar top. But there is alcohol here, or at least, what you think is alcohol, in bottles with faded labels, most of them indecipherable. Take a drink, get drunk, start a fight, or start a party? You're stuck on this station, might as well make the most of it, right?




( 0 0 4 ) » SPACEQUAKES
One second, you are is walking. Magnetic boots are on, the ground feels solid enough, for a metal deck in a space station. Everything is perfectly fine, or at least as fine as it can be, given that you still don't know where you are or how you came to be here.

The next moment, it's like everything explodes around you. You're thrown against the wall as sparks erupts from electrical panels, as the whole station rumbles and shakes around you. You fall to the deck, earning yourself scratches from the grating. When you look up, it's like nothing has happened. No wires hanging from open panels, no flickering lights, no more shaking. Like an earthquake in space.




( 0 0 5 ) » NETWORK
The comms device you found next to you when waking up connects to a station-wide network, REVERIE NET. You have the option to post video, voice or text messages.

What will you share?



( 0 0 6 ) » WILDCARD
The station features a variety of locations, from sleeping quarters free for the claiming to a dirty swimming pool and a bar that still holds alcohol (though some of the bottles seem to have been opened a while ago).

Go wild, but don't wreck the place. It's your home for the foreseeable future, after all.

Well, I've been kidnapped from my home, I have no idea where I am, I have no idea where my sword is, and I have no idea what you're doing... but my digestion seems in order and no one's actively trying to kill me so it could be worse.

[ Not slow in the least. Just a little confused. ]

[ frank has taken it upon himself to be something of a barkeeper here. it gives him a way to whittle away the hours and get to know everyone's faces here. when a woman comes in and sits down, he's reaching for a glass as the big brown dog by his side perks up to take her in too. even max looks worried, so he makes an executive decision and pours the woman he'd never seen before a glass of water, sliding it over wordlessly.

if she wants to say something, he'll listen. or honestly, he's just as comfortable in silence. he's a shitty conversationalist for a bartender - good thing he doesn't get paid. ]

( So, it wasn't been long. It's not like the train. It hasn't been so long that you lose track of everything but your heartbeat and there is food here.

There's food.

It won't be a repeat of what happened in the past. )


Yeah.

( That had been pretty awe inspiring, he'll admit. It had shaken him to the core but he'd kept on staring. )

I forgot the stars existed.

[ type of passenger..? ]

I'm not certain our captors differentiate between us. But no, not that I've been able to tell yet.

[personal profile] tailsections 2018-05-21 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
that would be a change for me then.

but they are captors? someone's figured that out?

i thought i was dead when i woke up and this was some kind of strange afterlife.

❚❚❚❚❚ oo3. BAR

[ Are there any rules in this place against underage drinking?

No matter. Peter Parker, sixteen, is what one would call a good kid - or maybe he's just a nerd. And under-age drinking has never really been a thing he's had an interest for, even when offered to him at parties.

He steps up to the bar and scans the immediate vicinity for someone who might be in charge. ]


Uhh ... can I just get a water? Or maybe a glass?


❚❚❚❚❚ oo4. SPACEQUAKES

[ Staying still and staying in one place has always made Peter Parker a little buggy (heh), so he's taken to wandering the halls like an aimless ball of anxiety and confusion. Honestly, if he wasn't an unassuming sixteen year old kid in a jumpsuit that fits a little weirdly in some places (still waiting on that growth spurt guys, thanks), he might look a little suspicious. One might even mistake him for a security guard or something.

So, yeah. He's just minding his own business, nodding his head and offering a tight-lipped smile at anyone passing him by when -- slam! The floor is pulled out from under him and he lands - hard - on his back with a resounding groan.

Oof. That really hurt.

It's his first instinct to get back to his feet and point his wrist in the direction of the attack or intrusion, but when he opens his eyes again, he's on the deck and everything looks ......... normal? If anyone else happens to be around him when the whole station goes bonkers, Peter will immediately look in their direction, flick his eyes towards his extended wrist, and snap it back down to his side. ]


-- whoa! What the hell was that? [ quickly turns into an immediate: ] Is everybody okay? Everyone safe?


❚❚❚❚❚ oo5. NETWORK

hello

is anyone here?

is anyone i know here?

does anybody have any aspirin?

No one's met them, if there's even a 'them' to meet. We were taken against our will and trapped here, though, so I'd say we're captives, at least.

This would be a hell of an afterlife.

[personal profile] controlist 2018-05-21 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Then there's information you can learn. None of us has much yet from what I've read. Even the people that seem to have been here the longest haven't been here very long.

They look like stars. I haven't seen them like this before.

do superheroes usually volunteer to blow stuff up?

they do when that's literally their superpower

guess some things never change.

( He'd boarded the train willingly, thinking it an escape not to a better life but a life. He would survive.

After awhile, he'd wished he hadn't ever set eyes on the hulking metal monster. )


yeah, guess you've got a point there. i don't even believe in any of that shit. pretty sure i'm heading towards a bunch of nothingness. but, not there yet. don't know if that's a good thing or a bad one all things considered.

comforting.

sounds familiar. just came from a place like that. we knew how long we'd been there but hard to learn information outside of where you were.

i can't remember the last time i saw the sky. never expected the stars.
nerded: (o15)

[personal profile] nerded 2018-05-21 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
i mean you should probably be blowing stuff up for good right?

isn't that kind of the unspoken rule?



uh

yeah

thats me ...???
bombshelled: (◎ gasp)

[personal profile] bombshelled 2018-05-21 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
yeah, no duh.
i only blow up shit that's bad or like, idk in the way or whatever.

PETER parker?? not like, some other rando named parker?

You were kept captive on your home planet?

[ the religion/afterlife thing.. is something maybe best left to another day. it's apparently somewhat unusual in the multiverse to know exactly what will happen to you after death. ]
nerded: (o11)

[personal profile] nerded 2018-05-21 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
no

no yeah that's me

i'm peter parker

wow you know me? i didn't think i'd meet anyone here who knew me

only thing is i don't think i've ever met a bombshell ...

is this some kind of weird time thing?

oh hey do you know a guy called dr strange? he's this wizard
bombshelled: (▼ EEEEEEEEE)

[personal profile] bombshelled 2018-05-21 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
what? uhhh no i don't know him.

he's really a wizard?

wait, if you're here... is this the afterlife?

holy SHIT, am I DEAD??

"We can't get through the doors," Samus frowned. "How do you no-"

Except Shepard was already on her way out, apparently. Samus quickly strode to catch up and stared quizzically down at Shepard, now able to finish her sentence.

"How do you not know this?"
tailsections: (⇉ 4 ⇇)

[personal profile] tailsections 2018-05-21 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
in a way. hard to explain.

the planet was uninhabitable so i lived on a train for most of my life. don't know if you'd consider that captive.


( There was more to the whole story than that but he doesn't really know who he's talking to and doesn't know if he's giving ideas to someone who might abuse them.

Curtis can still hear the sound of the engine when he closes his eyes. He can feel the thrum of the wheels against the track. He can see the wan faces of the children who were starving, dying more as each day passed. )

[This surprises her into looking him over properly. She's been so focused on the mysteries of the station that she's developed a bad happen of breezing past the humans around her, failing to take them in, ignoring their stories.]

Curtis. [Committing it to memory, tagging it with the other little details about him; that arm, the lines on his face.] Where were you before you were here?
