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.

[clarke isn't a stranger to bring kidnapped and brought to a new place but that doesn't make it any less of a concerning when she abruptly wakes up. she feels dizzy, disoriented and it just barely registers with her that she has been stripped of her belongings only to be wearing a jumpsuit.

she can't seem to shake the feeling of deja vu either but slowly stands up and attempts to focus her eyes on her new surroundings. it was not only unsettling not knowing where she was but it only raised more questions she didn't know the answer to which frustrated her even more. was this connected? were the same people who took her before responsible for this? it was the start of many questions clarke was wondering as was attempting to puzzle out the situation in front of her.

she wasn't sure what to think but what she knew for sure was that she couldn't be alone, they had to have taken the others too. she glances over herself checking if they had done anything to her while she was unconscious and after a few moments, it's not long before clarke notices the strange device that was beside her which seems to be playing back a message on loop. it doesn't mean anything to her but she picks it up regardless and keeps it on her in case it's useful.

nothing about this place sits right with her and instead of accepting things as they are, she is determined to figure this out so the first thing she does is venture further down the hall in hopes of getting some answers because the first priority right now making sure her people were safe too. he tries to remain cautious but whether she sees you from a distance or you happen to pass by her, she will call out doesn't hesitate to approach] Hey— are you from here?

( 0 0 4 ) » OBSERVATION DECK

[it was almost ironic being back up in space but it was familiar territory at least even if this wasn't exactly the ark since the view outside wasn't exactly of earth. she had already explored most sections of this place only to end up with more questions instead of answer and she didn't have much luck finding her friends either.

she finds herself by the observation desk taking a breather to process the situation and figure out what she should do next because by this point she has come to learn she isn't the only one who was brought here unknowingly against their will. it doesn't take her too long to realize she wasn't the only one with that thought as she turns to the person beside her trying to strike up casual conversation] What do you think of the view?

( 0 0 5 ) » NETWORK

[it's been a couple of days now but she still feels just as wary if not more so than when she arrived especially since this seems like a step backwards by being back in space yet again. despite that she is trying her best and she knows that using this communicator is a good start as any even it's just to test to waters]

un: clarke

hey. i have never really used anything like this before but my name is clarke griffin.

i've been told using this is probably my best shot in getting some answers or alternatively talking with and getting to know more people here so i figured i'd give it a try. i'm still trying to wrap my head around being here but i have a couple of questions and things i want to know:

1. who is in charge here and how can i speak with them?
2. do there maps of this place exist that I can get a hold of?
3. how long have you been here? if it is not too intrusive, i would like to hear about people's experiences here or anything that you have found out about this place if you are willing to share that too.

lastly if skaikru means anything to you or sounds familiar just let me know. [her words served the dual purpose of learning more about this place while trying to determine a pattern but more importantly the last part was a pointed callout to hear friends if they happen to hear this]

[choose your own adventure! i am good with any of the other scenarios otherwise just let me know if you want anything else!]

un:millerlite

[pampa]

[ miller sends her a file of the map they found on the command deck before replying. ]

1. You won't find anyone around here who wants to take that crapass title.
2. You're welcome. Don't say I never did anything for ya
3. About 3 months so far. It's a regular party.

[romancekiller]

thank you for the map. i figure since i'm new around here it'd make to get familiar with the things since we're stuck here. [if this is anything like mount weather, she wants to be prepared]

it figures that no one would own up to being in charge though. i'm guessing no one has any leads on that either? and would three months be the longest anyone has been here?

[pampa]

We should have the whole station opened up soon, just got into the hangar and the library the other day. Chapel and greenhouse were both opened after the Bridge too.

The Station's in charge. And it's gearing up to fuck with us all again real soon so get ready.

[romancekiller]

i guess that makes it more places to explore.

the station can't be what is in change. [she is totally still skeptical over here. it is not logical!!] how would it exactly do that? what's happened before to make you think that?

[pampa]

Look back at the network postings. People die, they come back. They get sick. Fucked up shit happens. There was music for a week, it wouldn't stop. It's torture but there's nobody home so yeah, the stations in charge. You'll get used to it.

[romancekiller]

oh. so everything on the network is archived to look through? that's good to know. [she is not that tech savvy like raven or monty to know how accessible that would be be but it's a start]

i'm not so sure i want to get used to it. i mean, shouldn't we be focusing on trying to find a way back to our homes?

[ frank is somewhat intimidating on his own, tall and heavy with dark bruising around his eyes and yellowing (healing) ones around the rest of his face. he wears a zip-up hoodie and a canvas jacket over his faded navy jumpsuit, and he's notably heralded by the click of six mag-boots, four belonging to a dark brown pitbull at his side. the dog has a brass plate on his collar declaring him as "max" but frank doesn't carry a leash, face opening in surprise a bit at being addressed.

the dog is immediately all over her, sniffing curiously at the person he's never seen before. even if he didn't suspect it, max would confirm clarke as a new arrival by his actions, already begging her for pets. ]

You're not shy, are you, Max?

[ frank just shakes his head like a weary dad, calling the dog back with a motion of his hand rather than an order. the dog understands and backs up then sits on his haunches beside the man. ]

No one's from here. Uh, did you just wake up?

[romancekiller]

[ clarke has seen grounders who are fairly intimidating on their own so calling out to frank is not something she really holds back on regardless of appearances. she is a bit startled to see the dog approach her.

she had read mentions of them in stories and even seen pictures but she had never seen one before now either. she can't help but look in slight awe at first but from his friendly nature as he curiously sniffs her, she reaches over to pet him momentarily] Hey Max, it's nice to meet you.

[she looks over towards frank as max heads back over towards him and she just nods] Yeah, I just woke up here. I'm guessing that it's the same for everyone I'm going to run into here?

[oorah]

[ max is quick to trust women so frank doesn't worry about her reaching for him, watching in approval as the dog leans into her touch. ]

I think he's saying 'you too' just so long as you keep that up.

[ frank nods, glad she's picking up things quickly. he really doesn't have the energy to keep giving these rundowns. ]

You ever been in space before? [ he still has to ask ]

[romancekiller]

I kind of figured. [clarke huffs a laugh slightly as she continues to pet him]

Yeah, that's definitely not a first for me. I grew up on a space station for most of my life but this is definitely not the Ark.

[oorah]

No, it's called Reverie Terminal. [ but that at least means he can skip the space school. frank points out the RT insignia on his jumpsuit, which of course matches hers. ] Most people here have never been to a place like this, including me, so I had to ask.

[romancekiller]

[clarke looks between her own jumpsuit and his to find they match with insignia. the name of the ship doesn't sound familiar and neither does the symbol which only leaves her with more confusions especially hearing his words that follow]

Wait, really— so it would be a first for most people here then? [she is mostly curious than anything else not to mention she hasn't learned about the multiverse part of all this yet]

004 omg forgive me for him

[resleeves]

They're stars. What the fuck should be good about this view?

( it doesn't help that he's seen it every day for the past few months. he's getting tired of waking up and seeing these same fucking stars and that same fucking planet. he wants to fucking be done with this place but apparently, his shitty life and luck has other plans. )

You're not going to start waxing poetic about stars and the vastness of space, are you?

lmao it's all good ♥

[romancekiller]

[clarke isn't phased in the slightest by attitude when she hears his words since she just gives a slight shrug in response] I wasn't planning on doing that. I was just trying to make conversation.

It's a bit different since we're not orbiting Earth but I know not all people are used to it like I am with being from space and besides this is the observation deck. [you know, where people do actually come to look at the view so what is your problem kovacs!!]

Re: lmao it's all good ♥

[resleeves]

( he has many problems. SO MANY. you don't even want a list, clarke. )

It's the same stars you're going to be seeing for however the fuck long you're here. They lose their mysticism quick.

( but he'd never been a fan in the first place. being off the ground just reminded him of meths. )

I'd suggest the bar. At least there the empty bottles actually change on a daily fucking basis.

sorry for the delay!

[romancekiller]

Right. [clarke resists the urge to roll her eyes at that but she takes in his suggestion she doesn't sound too impressed either. the fact he was here instead of the bar kind of contradicts his words anyway] So the changing empty bottles make the bar the place to be around here? Good to know, I guess.

it's all good!

[resleeves]

There someone else you wanna be besides not here?

( because, believe him, he fucking agrees. )

There's nowhere else exciting on this station unless you wanna work on opening fucking doors.

[romancekiller]

[clarke isn't sure if she wants to be back home right now, technically being in this place seems like the better alternative when you come from a post apocalyptic world but she doesn't want to get into that with a complete stranger either]

Working on opening the doors? Isn't that what we should be focusing on if we want to get home?

[emori]

Clarke?

Skaikru? What about Wonkru?

[romancekiller]

[clarke immediately picks up that the person responding to her knows her and skaikru but there is one thing she is confused about] is wonkru another grounder clan?

[emori]

It's grounders and Skaikru.

Did something happen in the cryopod? To your head?

[romancekiller]

[the memories of lexa's betrayal are still fresh in her mind that reading that sentence feels like a slap in the face given everything that has happened because of that]

i don't know what you're talking about but the alliance is broken. if that's meant to be a joke, it's not very funny.

[emori]

[Emori is SUPER confused.]

I'm not trying to be funny...

[romancekiller]

[clarke has to step back from the device for a moment to take a deep breath to calm herself]

alright, let me backtrack for a second. who are you?
