The Station: Test Drive




Welcome to the Station's Test Drive

Here, you will have the chance to try your character's voice out before apping them into the game. Feel free to play out in whatever means you would like - through the Station's communicators which are video and voice or either one alone, through action tags or prose, or whatever else you wish.

Please note that testing a character here does not guarantee that you have a reservation on that character. You may reserve a character HERE. Also note that this may be used as one of your samples for your application, though the mods may ask for more if what is provided is not considered sufficient. Finally, any thing played out on the test drive will not be considered character canon until after your character has woken up on the Station, as each character is given a unique scenario for their character's waking upon acceptance to the game.

"So it would seem," Zhaan looked up from the small creature and what sounded like contented rumbling at the attention. "I was turning a corner on another ship and found myself here."

Crichton reluctantly put his arm around Zhaan and squeezed a little. "Yep, it's good ta see you too. Even if this isn't real, you popping up even for a second means I'm gonna get out of this alive, so we got that goin' for us." He made a small noise in the back of his throat and just held her.

"Thing is...it was a good death, hell, ya brought Aeryn back from the dead, practically. But it was kind of my fault..." he looks at her. "Hey, just so I know, when are you as far as things're concerned? We have the fight about the crackers yet? Blew up that moonbase? Help me out, here. I know we can't change the future much, that's kind of a story for another time, but I figure it can't hurt to get each other caught up."

Sebastian glanced up on his way past another hallway, on his way to the mess hall, and continued for another four or five steps before stopping. Slowly backing up. And leaning just a little to take another look down the hallway.

He should be used to this by now. Mordin, 'Vadum, Chiana. But this person-was it proper to use person for another species who's language may not even have the word person or anything similar he wondered deciding not to be rude and straightening up to walk up the hall and towards this new arrival.

"Excuse the interruption. May I help you find something? Or someone?"

[He gives her a polite nod in response.]

Doctor Mordin Solus, Salarian. Was in similar circumstances before finding myself here. Afraid this is unknown space. Only one planet local. No distant stars visible. We have simply been calling this The Station.

"Well, okay, are ponies the only kinds of life forms on your world? Let's start there." The pony is definitely nervous, but if this turns into twenty questions, Jack is okay with that. Whatever it takes to keep from spooking her and get her to understand 'so you've been transported in space and time and we have no idea how to get you home.'

"Oh no, well..I mean, there are lots of creatures I haven't met yet, but we have more fantastic creatures like dragons, and gryphons, hydra, and timberwolves, and we have normal creatures like bears, and squirrels, and hedgehogs and cats and dogs and tortoises and owls and..."

There is a rustling in the bushes, before a small white shape bursts out. Bee-lining for Fluttershy, who looks surprised, then pleased. "ANGEL!" Easily the loudest she'd gotten, and still only at mildly above speaking volume.

The small white bunny is scooped up in a hug, which he rolls his eyes at, then leans in to. Fluttershy nuzzles him affectionately, before turning her attention back to Jack. "And bunnies. Angel, this is Jack. He's a human."

And now she does the I'm going to flop onto your foot so you can't move maneuver.

"Really? And you nae felt anything?" Trever asks curiously.

[personal profile] theendiswherewestartfrom 2014-01-18 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Jack looks over sharply at the sudden movement, and starts to make a move to intercept it, expecting one of the rats. But he stops when the shape is far smaller than any of the rats that he's seen before, and then, of all things, Fluttershy recognizes it?

Oh! Bunny! Jack laughs, and smiles as Fluttershy seems to relax a little. Okay. Having someone familiar here would be nice for her. "Nice to meet you, too, uh, Angel?" Jack looks at Fluttershy. "Does he talk, too?"

Angel is giving him a look that clearly is questioning his intelligence. Then sticking his tongue out. "Angel bunny, that's not very nice." Fluttershy scolds, gently, before meeting Jack's look again.

"I'm sorry, he's likely just reacting to us being somewhere unfamiliar." Settling back down again, the bunny squirming out of her hug before climbing up onto her back. Settling down, listening with an expectant look of 'well? get on with it'. "You mean like we do? No, most of the critters don't like we do. They have their own languages." Fluttershy was definitely more comfortable with someone familiar around, even if she's still nervous.

Hey, it's a legitimate ques...Jack, are you about to have an argument with a rabbit? Jack thinks better of responding, and pays attention to what Fluttershy is saying. But this only brings up more questions about her world. Hmm. What's the simple way of asking the 'tech or magic' question? Might take a little bit to get to that exact question.

"Well, what kind of place do you live in, on your world?"

[personal profile] sharing_kindness 2014-01-19 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
You wouldn't be the first to try arguing with Angel, Jack--the bunny is a spoiled brat. Usually with a good heart, but still a brat.

"I live near the edge of the Everfree Forest, but still within the Ponyville limits." Fluttershy answered, hoping that her critters were ok. And her friends. "In a cottage. I have lots of space for my animal friends that way."

[personal profile] theendiswherewestartfrom 2014-01-19 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
Cottage? Ponyville? "Ponyville? Is that a city? You guys live in towns and cities? I know this sounds incredibly basic and obvious," shut up, bunny, "but I can't really take anything for granted."

"Do you guys have machines and technology, then?"
sharing_kindness: (Happy content and neutral)

[personal profile] sharing_kindness 2014-01-19 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
"Of course." It was said with some surprise, though her tone was mild. "Ponyville is a city in Equestria. There's also Cloudsdale, where I lived when I was a filly, and Canterlot is nearby from the train." Fluttershy is sticking to the basics. Also wishing Twilight was here, because she'd make things so much simpler, in terms of explanations.

"I assure you, I feel quite real for an illusion," Zhaan smiled and leaned close as John put and arm around her. Reassured at the familiar contact.

"You and D'Argo were loading up the shuttle with enough explosives to level the moonbase. Everyone was arguing. Afraid because we were splitting up." She turned hopeful eyes towards him. "But we find one another again?"

[personal profile] anarchist_priest 2014-01-20 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
"Merely a moment's dizziness," kneeling down she smiled at the small furry creature, stroking along her soft fur. "It was quite strange."

"Aren't you an affectionate little one?"

"I be asleep when it happened for me," Trever says, leaning up against the wall.

Then he snorts. "She be a little attention whore. Like all cats."

Hangar - The Serenity

[personal profile] faithfixesyou 2014-01-28 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
Shepherd Book pulls himself back to consciousness. He clenches his eyes tight to keep his head from swimming as he drags his body off the deck plates in what used to be his room on the Serenity. Used to be, because its the same room, but the few possessions he kept in here, even the bed he was laying on, seem to be missing.

"Hello?" Book heads out into the hallway, caution grows as he sees the other rooms seem to be just as deserted. The med bay looks like it's seen some use, but not nearly as fully stocked as it should be. His hand goes to his head for a moment, almost like he's remembering he has a headache. Not actually hurt. But something is very wrong, the ship more than him.

Book chooses not to call out again, instead makes his way down towards the already-open hatch of the ship. They're landed, no, docked. He steps away from the ship, looks around at the rest of the hangar. The Serenity isn't the only ship here. What is this place?

Yuna had slipped over to the hanger to see if she could check out some of the ships. She wasn't going to touch or break anything she just wanted a better look and she couldn't locate the ships owners. It was fun trying to be sneaky, dashing from cover to cover. She approached the front of Serenity resting her hand on its cold surface. "You look a lot like The Gullwing. I wonder what stories you could tell."

Brother once told her how he found The Gullwing and why it was named so. The ships arrival had saved them. She peaked around the ship heading towards the open hatch. What she didn't expect was someone standing there. She slid to a halt making her tumble to the ground. So much for stealth.

Book turns sharply to look at the person coming around the side of the ship. A woman? Dressed in a way even Book has never seen before. It seems he startled her as bad as she startled him, as she stops too fast and goes to the ground.

"Oh! I'm sorry, are you all right?" He puts out a hand to help her back up. His face is concerned, but confused. This wasn't what he was expecting. This woman isn't Alliance, there are no soldiers, but the ship is docked and stripped out. Still, if someone had managed to capture Serenity, subdue the crew, and take everything inside, how had they missed Book? And why hadn't Book heard any of this happening?

A Nerf dart goes flying out from somewhere and thunks right next to Book, sticking to Serenity's side. It crackles briefly and then puffts out.

Yuna took his hand gratefully and let him pull her up. "No, No, I'm fine. I am sorry I didn't think anyone would be here."

She brushed off her butt then her half skirt. The hanger wasn't the cleanest place for Yuna to fall down. "I was just exploring. I didn't mean to intrude." Yuna looked up after cleaning herself off and smiled. "My name is Yuna."

Reflexes kick in as soon as Book catches the motion coming at him. He swiftly moves back into the edge of the Serenity for cover, and holds up a hand. No weapons, no backup, best bet is to surrender and maybe make them feel guilty for shooting at a preacher. Then figure out what happened to Mal. "Hello? My name..."

He starts to look around to try to figure out what direction it came from, and sees a toy dart sticking out of the hull of the ship. What?

Let's try this again. "Hello?" Except that Book isn't moving out of cover.
faithfixesyou: (ShepherdConfused)

[personal profile] faithfixesyou 2014-01-29 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yuna. Nice to meet you, my name is Shepherd Book." Just a child. Doesn't mean she's harmless, but she is still putting Book at ease. Maybe they aren't captured, then?

"Do you know where the rest of the crew is?" Book gestures to the Serenity. "Or how did we get here?" If they aren't captured, the other answers aren't necessarily good ones.
engineermage: (Getting angry)

CAT. CAT. CAT.

Veena appears and jumps up trying to bat at the dart. It's a bit high for her though so she's doing that horrible scrambling thing.

"Oi! Leave it alone you [something very horrible sounding in Gaelic]. I dinnae need you stealing the damn thing again and dropping it in the loo!" Kale comes walking over with the Nerf gun in his hands and looking Very Irked at the cat.

Said cat pauses in her mad scrambling and sits on the edge of Serenity. She starts grooming herself industriously like she totally wasn't doing what she was doing a second ago.

Totally.
faithfixesyou: (ShepherdConfused)

[personal profile] faithfixesyou 2014-01-29 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Book stares at the cat for a moment. How did it get there so suddenly? Toy guns, pets, is this a colony ship? It all screams 'civilians' not 'soldiers' so Book cautiously steps out from the Serenity. His brow is still furrowed in confusion as he looks at the young man approaching. The gun is only a toy, he relaxes the smallest amount.

"Hello? My name is Shepherd Book. Can you tell me what's happened to the rest of my crew?"
