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.

No, of course not. You know I would never say that.

I just meant, you're a survivor. You always have been.

I could have done a better job of it this time.

[She's frustrated and there's the betrayal still leaving a lingering taste in her mouth.]

Why'd he do it?

[She didn't really need to say who she meant, did she?]

[personal profile] bestials 2018-06-10 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
[ No, she doesn't have to say it. They both know she's not asking about Charles anymore. ]

Logan. The man who was with us in Paris. He came to 1973 from the future, to stop you from killing Trask. The machines Trask was building, in his time they've hunted mutants down by the hundreds. Using technology based on your mutation to adapt into killing machines.

So he wanted to kill me before that happened.

[That shouldn't make it better, but it does calm some of the tide of emotions she's feeling. That is something Erik would do. His actions made more sense now, at the very least.]

I can't just let Trask go. [Not that she's got much choice now, stuck here.]
bestials: (12)

[personal profile] bestials 2018-06-10 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
That's not what we brought him there to do. But... You know him.

[ Why Logan ever thought Erik would cooperate is beyond him. ]

There are other ways to stop him. There have to be.
personify: (kicking ass)

[personal profile] personify 2018-06-10 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
[She does know him. That doesn't mean him trying to kill her hurt any less.]

You didn't see the things Trask did to them, Hank. He doesn't deserve mercy.

We can't let them turn us into the monsters they think we are.
personify: (will shoot you)

[personal profile] personify 2018-06-10 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
I don't care what they think of me anymore. I'm done playing by their rules.
bestials: (12)

[personal profile] bestials 2018-06-10 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
Raven, please. It doesn't have to be this way.
personify: (mysterious)

[personal profile] personify 2018-06-10 03:11 pm (UTC)(link)
What other way can it be? They're not going to just accept us. You know that or you wouldn't want to keep hiding yourself.
bestials: (11)

[personal profile] bestials 2018-06-11 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ S i g h... ]

We're never going to see eye to eye on this, are we?
personify: (will shoot you)

[personal profile] personify 2018-06-11 11:02 am (UTC)(link)
It's not likely. Sorry, Hank.

[personal profile] bestials 2018-06-14 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
No, it's alright.

[ He's pretty much accepted that they're too fundamentally different to make it work. ]

I'm glad you're okay. Or, as okay as you can be, circumstances aside.
personify: (kicking ass)

[personal profile] personify 2018-06-15 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you, Hank. [Despite their differences, she did still care about him and wanted him to be alright.]

I'm hope you're okay too. Please take care of yourself.

[There's so much more she could say. About hiding. About serums. Charles. Erik. But Hank likely already know what she might say, so there's no point. Not right now.]
