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.

Had I given you the impression before that I was not?

[it, sadly, does go over his head.]

I do not know of Richter. Perhaps Trevor could tell you more, though I was under the impression that he is the last son of House Belmont.

Regardless, I welcome you. Though the circumstances themselves are regrettable. This station is far from pleasant.

I cannot fight the destiny that is in line for me. Nor should I.

Would you dare speak of what it is you fear to do?
dominantpower: (When the clouds appeared)

[personal profile] dominantpower 2018-07-29 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
there's too many to list here. most importantly, i'm able to control and summon the souls of monsters i've defeated and use their powers to aid me. what about you?

this maze is certainly not the worst i've been in, but there doesn't seem to be anything leading outside of this station so far.

we can try?

better than rotting away here doing nothing.
dominantpower: (Because it's just about to happen)

all i can think is "hi son its me your younger dad"

[personal profile] dominantpower 2018-07-29 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ whatever this person has written down, it takes him a few minutes to reply because really? really? alucard? is this some weird twist of fate of some sort? if soma only knew this was truely the same man he knows as genya arikado, he might have acted differently. ]

i'm not sure i should, with a name like yours. if you go first then i'll tell you.

[ the other could lie, but he figures he's got nothing to lose. ]

A rather accusatory statement. Faster than most, I'll say that much.

I've nothing to say to a stranger, then. So be it.
dominantpower: (Looking so undermined)

i traded my manly jawline for a boyish look don't judge me

[personal profile] dominantpower 2018-07-29 08:00 am (UTC)(link)
maybe but with a name like alucard it doesn't bring me much confidence...

look sorry if i'm snappy it's just that i

forget it
reposing: (is this just fantasy?)

[personal profile] reposing 2018-07-29 08:03 am (UTC)(link)
It is a name that means something to you. Yes?
dominantpower: (That you could find)

[personal profile] dominantpower 2018-07-29 08:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ this would be so much easier if his friends were here. is it even worth talking with a stranger? ]

yes it does

[ it takes a few minutes before he adds more; ]

is alucard really your name? why do you spell it backwards?

[ he may have come to the wrong conclusion. ]
reposing: (MAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA?!)

[personal profile] reposing 2018-07-29 08:17 am (UTC)(link)
It is a name that was given to me by the people of Wallachia. It isn't my true name.

Though I do find it ironic how it was given backwards, but perhaps they see me as my father's opposite. He is Vlad Dracula Ţepeş.
dominantpower: (Because it's just about to happen)

i sadly do not have an icon enough for his surprise

[personal profile] dominantpower 2018-07-29 08:23 am (UTC)(link)
what the fuck

[ look he's still a teenager how else is he supposed to react to that? ]

your dad is dracula? the dracula. the dark lord dracula

[ he can't take this responsibility, he's only 19. ]
reposing: (little high little low)

[personal profile] reposing 2018-07-29 08:29 am (UTC)(link)
Yes.
You know of him, then.

dominantpower: (Acting like it wouldn't happen)

[personal profile] dominantpower 2018-07-29 08:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ how does he even answer this? ]

yes. well, sort of. the dark lord dracula was defeated in 1999 by julius belmont.

i'm

its complicated
reposing: (life had just begun)

[personal profile] reposing 2018-07-29 08:38 am (UTC)(link)
I see. You're from the future.

So I fail, then.
dominantpower: (When the clouds appeared)

[personal profile] dominantpower 2018-07-29 08:42 am (UTC)(link)
wait i'm not from 1999 i wasn't even born, that's just what he told me!

...but why do you say you failed? and you're from the past? how far back?
reposing: (look up to the skies and SEEEEEEE)

[personal profile] reposing 2018-07-29 08:43 am (UTC)(link)
Does it matter? You are from far enough that I know that I fail.

1475.
dominantpower: (That you could find)

[personal profile] dominantpower 2018-07-29 08:51 am (UTC)(link)
what? but that's so long ago!

[ ...well maybe he should explain himself better. ]

julius told me he is a descendant of a clan that has fought dracula for ages whenever he came back. i didn't think it went that far back...they managed to defeat him and then trap his castle into a solar eclipse to break the cycle.

...so i don't think you failed.


[ he is trying to be encouraging. soma knows what its like to lose hope. ]

have you tried the medbay for the pills?

no one comes here with weapons at first but sometimes they show back up. so far tho there's nothing to actually fight.

It would be super cool with me, kid, if I knew the way home.

[ yeah he heard your name but you're a kID. ]

You think you're some kind of thug, okay, even cooler. Just keep the murdering to a minimum while you're here and do your part to get us all off this rustbucket and you and me are gonna be just fine.

Member of the Reclamation Apprehension Coalition, neutral third party in the quad.

[ supposed to be, anyway. ]

We take no sides, accept no bribes, have no citizenship or allegiance to anyone but ourselves. Makes us perfect for getting jobs done.
warranter: (| if you say so)

Not Qresh.

[ the others....well. yeah. ]

That's a planet. The others are its moons.

You must have a lot of brain damage if you think that's a good future. And if you think time travel is an actual thing.

God, people here are nuts.

It's the job.

[ maybe a year or so ago, dutch would've been offended. now that she knows -- about the green, the hullen, the beginning of everything -- the idea of the rac is more ideal than anything else. ]

You'd be the first person today if you had. The quad is a planetary system: Qresh and its three moons.

[That would have been a weirder thing to hear a couple of weeks ago, when she didn't know about everything that had happened back home. Now she just goes with it. She's also not going to tell this person that she thinks the idea of someone being completely unbiased is a load of crap unless they've been lobotomized, because she doesn't feel like dealing with an argument right now.]

qresh, huh? never heard of that either. what's it like?
