TEST DRIVE MEME
// TEST DRIVE_  Welcome to Eluvio's first Test Drive Meme! Whether you'd like to try out a character in the setting, get some samples for your application, or just mess around and have fun, this is the place to do it. If you're getting samples together, remember that you need at least four comments made by you in the thread for it to count. Test drive threads can be used as game canon if both parties agree and the thread fits with what's going on currently in the game. Pick any of the scenarios below or make up any of your own. This is space! There are infinite worlds and possibilities. If you'd like to thread out hijacking a ship, it might not be eligible for becoming game canon but it would still count as a sample. The most important thing is to have fun! ➣ SCENARIO 001.  It's a normal day aboard the Eluvio. Maybe you're on your way to work. Maybe you're hanging out with friends. You can even be up to nefarious misdeeds. Whatever the case, you're having a relatively uneventful day. And then you see it. From a distance, it looks like a ball of fur. Up close, it looks like a ball of fur. If you touch it, it will chitter at you. It will vibrate and purr. Where this is coming from is anyone's guess because even if you turn it over, there's nothing to see but more fur. It's pretty harmless, though. Leave it there. Take it with you. The choice is yours. As you continue about your day, you'll begin to notice more of these little furballs. On the ground. Sitting on tables. Here and there at random intervals. By the end of the day, they're fucking everywhere. Good luck! If you get overwhelmed, maybe go talk to that bald starship captain who showed up last week. He might know something about the furry invaders. ➣ SCENARIO 002.  Congratulations! You've been selected to be part of the team being sent down to the planet around which the fleet is currently orbiting. Initial scans of the surface show that oxygen is in abundance, temperatures support carbon-based life-forms, and there aren't any large quantities of poisonous gases that might pose problems. Your mission is to secure a landing site, set up a camp, and locate edible flora and fauna. Stores aboard ship are running a bit low on food and it's projected to be another three weeks before the fleet reaches a station large enough to replenish supplies. Once identified, larger parties will be sent to the surface to help hunt and gather. The good news is, scans show fruits, vegetables, and animals are plentiful. The bad news is that once your ship lands on the planet, everything goes sideways. An unexpected ion storm sweeps through the solar system, shorting out communications between the fleet and the team. It wreaks havoc with the electronics planet-side too, temporarily shorting out the smaller craft's navigational array. Until it passes, about six standard days, you're stuck down there. And the bountiful harvest isn't without its dangers. Even the most docile looking animal will attack. Sampling the fruits and vegetables will cause temporary paralysis, hallucinations, and psychosis. Inhaling pollen will bring out a person's baser instincts. The planet itself is predatory, you see. Everything on it has evolved to entice visitors from nearby systems and kill them. And the fleet's unwittingly taken the bait. ➣ SCENARIO 003.  It's been a rough day. Everything's going wrong. Machines are breaking down everywhere. The owner of your favorite business wasn't there today and the store was closed when you stopped by to pick something up. A coworker didn't show up for work, leaving you with an interested workload. And now it feels like you're being watched. It started about ten minutes ago, but whenever you turn to look, there's no one there. The feeling doesn't go away, though. No matter where you are, it feels like eyes are watching. Did you hear something? A quiet, scuffling scratching sound just for a second? Maybe you did. Maybe you didn't. But it came from the misshapen monstrosity that just punched a hole through the bulkhead right beside you. The creature makes a low, wet gargling noises and darts toward you: six to seven feet tall, vaguely humanoid, and covered in strange growths over which is stretched bubbling grayish-brown skin. Maybe you notice tatters of familiar clothing hanging off of it. Or there's enough left of its eyes to recognize the shape and color. Or maybe something about the noises it's making sound familiar. It's your missing coworker and it looks like the unfortunate soul ran afoul of that weird slimy creature the science team brought back from that jungle planet a month ago. The good news: you can kill it. The bad news: it can kill you. It's fast, it's hungry, and it reproduces at an alarming rate. A single bite can transfer the parasites in its bloodstream to you. Then you'll be just like your buddy. And that shop owner you like so much. And all of the people on Level 12. And... ➣ SCENARIO 004.  You're welcomed and encouraged to make up your own scenarios. As you can see, there will be a wide variety of the types of things your character will encounter in this game. So feel free to make your starters as horrific, sexy, lighthearted, action-packed, or slice of life as you'd like. Make up a planet, make up a location on the Eluvio, make up a ship in the fleet, fight off a zombie alien invasion, NPC Captain Picard, there's no limit to what you can do on the TDM. |
PLEASE USE OUR NEW TDM HERE!

In truth though, she absolutely would throw him at this thing and leave; not out of any concern for her own safety, mind you, but watching this thing scramble around while everyone else tries to fight it off would be fun. If she fights it, she'll have to kill it, and it'd be easier to leave if it was snacking on something a tad more defenseless...
But for the very same reason she would do it, she also won't. She's being mildly cooperative with this whole space operation because she doesn't know how to navigate space, nor would it be all that fun being on her own out here. So she's neglecting to cause too much trouble in the interest of seeking out some fun on this dumb ship. Not getting kicked off likely involves not feeding defenseless creeps to alien monsters...
...so she's gonna have to protect this guy, isn't she?]
Shut up. [ouch] I can't fight this thing with you around, you're a liability. So I'm going to find someone I can dump you on first.
[Instead of tossing him to the creature like a hunk of meat, she throws him over her shoulder instead and makes a break for it, the alien in hot pursuit.]
no subject
[ sorry.. don't underestimate the faint heart of a virgin??? You can say hi to him and he'll fall in love.
What's even worse is that she is choosing to protect him, so this is going to be a problem after all of this mess it over.
Karamatsu has been.. as cooperative as he can be. It's hard, being some place like space without his family, but he's trying to best to keep it together... at least when he is around other people. ]
F-F-Fight..!? You're going to, uh, fight this all by yourself?
[ slams the nut button.
But anyway, he complies to being carried over the shoulder, glancing at her the best he can while he is facing the monster, who is beginning to crawl back to its feet again. ]
Ah, but what if.. something happens to you? Where is your back up?!
no subject
You should be asking that to the thing chasing us, not me.
[As our hungry alien friend begins its chase anew, 18 has to admit it's pretty fast. She can't go at full speed anyway, but that it's catching up even now is impressive.
So, it looks like she's gonna have to improvise a little here. As they're running-]
Hold still.
[-she tosses him straight into the air. He might hit the ceiling, rip.
But as she does, she stops all of a sudden and braces herself, then aims another kick at the creature as it draws close. She's careful to ensure she's hit the exact same spot and a little harder than before, knocking it back yet again and hopefully doing some permanent damage that might slow it down.
And when her small muppet companion drops back down, she catches him, slings him over her shoulder once more and dashes off again.]
no subject
Karamatsu is thankfully a little more distracted by the alien that is chasing after them in pursuit. Poor Karamatsu— all he can do is cling to 18's back and hope for the best.
Though, once they stop, Karamatsu looks at her with a puzzled expression. ]
E..eh? What do you mean?
[ Before he knows it, he's slung up in the air, like a sack of potatoes, and his face implanting nicely on the ceiling before he gracefully falls back down with a loud shriek.
Before he knows it, he's back in the arms of his rescuer. Even with his face bruised and blood leaking from his nostrils, he musters enough strength to praise her. ]
A..ah, well done..! You're very strong!
no subject
[Since she doesn't know Cell is a thing...and since she's stronger than the other androids and vegeta, it's pretty much true.
With their pursuer slowed down, she manages to outpace it and ends up breaking away entirely. Now that it's safe(ish) she puts Karamatsu down.]
There. But if it catches up and finds you this time, you're on your own.
no subject
The strongest..? Ah, you are..!?
[ Karamatsu stands upright on his feet, looking at 18 in amazement. ]
.. I cannot believe I have been rescued by.. the strongest!
[ oh nnnnoo.. ]
no subject
[Unfortunately, clueless as she is to this gross, lonely virgin, she leans over and puts a thumb to his chin.]
Maybe I saved you so I could kill you instead.
1.2
O—oh, I see. I was rescued by.. a killing machine..! That has never happened to me before..!
[ there's a lot of things that hasn't happened to him, tbh.. ]
2.2
[ NOOOOO. ]
no subject
Really hard]
You sure about that?
no subject
[ NOPE. That was nice for a hot second but the moment he feels any amount of pressure, he's jerking his head away and covering part of his face. He's paused for a moment before he speaks out rather meekly: ]
I-I am not ready to engage in the kiss of death.
There is so much I must do first.
