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.

002 - observation deck
[ We're going to skip the whole wake up in shock because you're in space thing, and skip straight to the important stuff.

These fr*ckin jumpsuits.

You'll find Eleanor staring forlornly at however much of herself is vaguely reflected against the windows of the observation deck.

She tugs weakly on her clothing. ]


A dreary outfit for a dreary place, I suppose.

[ She's quiet for a moment, a thoughtful expression on her face. ]

All I would need is a pair of scissors, a thread, needle and perhaps some extra cloth. And maybe— though the color may be the worst affront and unfortunately there's not much that can be done about that.


wild card- bar
[ How do you keep yourself busy in space? Sniff stuff I guess. You can find her unscrewing bottles and popping off lids, and giving the liquids inside (some she recognizes, some she doesn't) a big ol' wiff.

Most of them she cringes at when the pungent smell of liquor hits her nose, but a less familiar bottle surprises her. It smells sweet, actually?

Curiosity killed the cat and stuff but if it smells good it should taste good, right?

Wrong.

She spits it right out, sputtering it everywhere and every which way. Nasty.

Maybe it hits you? Hopefully it doesn't? Either way she's mortified. ]


My apologies I was—!

[ Tasting mysterious space liquor. ]

a superpower is something you can do that normal people can't.
like I make explosions with my hands.

and the police don't have superpowers. so they fight like, street level crime, and street level superheroes help them out. but then you get bigger superheroes who help stop world-threatening stuff.

like this one time, a giant purple dude crash landed on New Jersey and threatened to like
eat the planet, or whatever.
cops can't do shit about that.

[Hajime sometimes likes to spend evenings in the bar. "Evening" being a relative term, probably, but if he spends too much time in the observatory, he gets dizzy and starts to suffer from what one could call an existential crisis. Being visibly in an alien outer space can do that to a kid. It's way easier to sit where there are other people, because the background noise kind of helps keep him grounded.

He's just sitting off to one side, playing Galaga Gala Omega on his copyright-free Nantendo Game Girl Advance, when someone's spitting at him?]


O-Oi!! What was that for?!

[That's a big fat GAME OVER on his screen as he stares up at the girl who just spit at him, expression wavering somewhere between indignant outrage and shock.]

It wasn't for anything.

[ She manages in between frantically wiping her mouth with the back of her sleeve. She makes a face, the taste of whatever she'd just drunk very much still tainting her mouth. ]

I didn't mean to do it— I, oh, here!

[ She digs into the pocket of her jumpsuit for what is a clean piece of cloth, neatly torn into a square. A nice DYI handkerchief, she begins to raise to his face but stops herself. ]

Oh, um— habit.

[ Don't wipe a strangers faces for them Eleanor, she holds it out for him to take instead. ]

bombshelled: (◎ shock)

[personal profile] bombshelled 2018-05-19 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
jet fuel like for a spaceship.

you were seriously trying to stretch the ocean's water all the way to another planet? that sounds fucking dumb. of course that's not going to work.

idk who steven is.

[Now that he's, like, actually looking at her, it's kind of obvious that it wasn't on purpose. He's just a little sensitive to the idea that people might be looking down on him, and spitting on him definitely falls into that category.

But, shit, now he's embarrassed, and he's opening his mouth to apologize when she's--]


Y-You don't have to...

[He holds up both hands to try to stave off her wiping his face, more than a little relieved when she backs off. Hajime honestly isn't sure how to handle a girl wiping his face like he's a child. He will take it from her, though, to wipe his face himself. He can't help but wrinkle his nose, too, because whatever got spit at him smells kind of sweet?]

Um... thanks. Are you okay?

[Since it looks like most of it got on her after all.
bombshelled: (▼ fallen)

[personal profile] bombshelled 2018-05-19 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
is he a gem too?

let me guess, he's a sapphire or something.

steven the sapphire.

That just now was funnier than the "joke". The funniest things are unexpected. It's hard to be surprised enough to laugh when you know a joke is coming.

[maybe that's just you]
