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.

I'm exhausted.
And thirsty.

Make yourself useful and tell me where the tavern is.
reposing: (i'm just a poor boy i need no sympathy)

[personal profile] reposing 2018-07-02 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
There is no tavern.

[He sighs.] There is a bar, however. Though last I heard, its supplies were pitiful. Perhaps you will be lucky and find a drop.
getnasty: (Five)

[personal profile] getnasty 2018-07-02 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
That is the same damned thing, Alucard.
Will you take me there?


[Don't be difficult, blondie.]
reposing: (sends shivers down my spine)

[personal profile] reposing 2018-07-02 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
It really isn't.

Why would I do that? Is it so difficult for you to find things yourself?

[gonna be difficult!]
getnasty: (Ten)

[personal profile] getnasty 2018-07-02 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
You taunt me on purpose.
What if we are companions and I've been teasing you the entire time?
Would you treat me so poorly then?


[Cries.]
reposing: (but now i've gone and thrown it all away)

[personal profile] reposing 2018-07-02 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
[presses x to doubt?!]

Then I suspect that you would need to own up to your own behavior to tease someone who does not even remember you.
getnasty: (Thirteen)

[personal profile] getnasty 2018-07-02 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Believe him! He has a trustworthy face.]

It's that very behavior that drew you to me.
You find me as refreshing as a mountain spring.
You feel young again, simply by knowing me.
reposing: (little high little low)

[personal profile] reposing 2018-07-02 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
[he can't even see your face!!!]

I sincerely doubt that Sypha would agree with any of that.

Do you really need me to escort you to the bar that badly?
altruistical: (pic#12404163)

i wrote all this and forgot caps so fuck it

[personal profile] altruistical 2018-07-02 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
I'm going to need you to do something that uses your brain for a moment. That maybe difficult for you.

Imagine three separate strings. You, myself, and Alucard. Someone cut 2 of those strings in the same place, while his was cut a place before our own.

Does that help?
altruistical: (pic#12404193)

[personal profile] altruistical 2018-07-02 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
You! Didn't your family teach you manners?

[This C ain't leaving buddy.]

[personal profile] altruistical 2018-07-02 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
Sadly, he is the first I have seen in some time.
reposing: this icon was commissioned. do not reuse. (AND FAAAACE THE TRUUUUTH)

[personal profile] reposing 2018-07-02 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose he'll do.
altruistical: (pic#12404164)

[personal profile] altruistical 2018-07-02 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh....right. She knows that story.]

She must have taught you well.

[There is a pause as she listens and tries to make heads or tails or that. It sounds like dark magic.]

Are there demons here?
altruistical: (pic#12404170)

[personal profile] altruistical 2018-07-02 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
THAT DID NOT TAKE LONG.

I WILL FIND YOU THEN.
reposing: (pulled my trigger now he's dead)

[personal profile] reposing 2018-07-02 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
I would not claim to say I was the best student, but she taught me what she could.

[He is quietly grateful for her care in the subject matter.]

If you are asking if demons are the cause of our being here, I've not had any proof of that.

However, I will say that there are devils here. A handful of them. They are not our enemies and have been cooperating relatively well with me.
altruistical: (pic#12404189)

[personal profile] altruistical 2018-07-02 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
Devils?

[Plural????? More than one???]

I'm sorry, I do not understand. Are we speaking of the devil? Or is this just a more powerful class of demons?
reposing: (CARRY ON)

[personal profile] reposing 2018-07-02 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
It is admittedly complicated. Three of them had made some sort of pact with Satan and were once humans themselves, but now they are classified as a devil. I suppose it's closer to say that they are demons in comparison to how we know things to work.

[Alucard hesitates. Then there's Lucifer in the station, but that's a secret he's promised to keep.]

They are not unkind. I suspect the rules of what Satan means to them is significantly different than what it means to our homeland.
altruistical: (pic#12404219)

[personal profile] altruistical 2018-07-02 10:38 am (UTC)(link)
I understand. As long as they do not hurt others, I see no issue with them. If you trust them to do that, than so will I.

[So long as they dont hurt anyone. But Trevor-]

It maybe best to keep their identities secret. I am not sure how Belmont will react to this.

Space isn't ever going to be my first guess, Lucy.

[but it's a largely distracted retort as he finally takes a closer look round. tries to see more than just the prison he'd taken this place for. the abduction part may still stand, but now he knows what he's looking for...

yeah, no. still not believing him about the space part. this looks like a hospital from hell. or some kind of science...thing. not space.]


Whatever you've been taking, you might want to cut back. It's fucking with your head.

[a moment then for him to reach down for the network device, fingers curling tightly around it to try and muffle the voice. when he stand back up again, there's a lurch in his stomach, and he has to take a few moments to himself to try and resettle it.]

So where's the off-ramp? I've got shit to do.

I’m not an imbecile.
I want to know what that means for us.
getnasty: (Default)

[personal profile] getnasty 2018-07-02 01:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[Look harder!]

That’s not my problem.
Yes, I really do.
You wouldn’t want something to happen to me would you?
getnasty: (Thirteen)

[personal profile] getnasty 2018-07-02 01:55 pm (UTC)(link)
My family is dead.
getnasty: (Six)

[personal profile] getnasty 2018-07-02 01:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Don’t find me.
I prefer to drink alone.
altruistical: (pic#12404219)

[personal profile] altruistical 2018-07-02 02:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I've spoken to Alucard and he says our goal is still the same.

It means we have to trust one another and help find a way back home.
