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.

[His statement about the detection system brought an amused snort. The rest, just peaked his curiousity.]

"How many of us are there then? Any idea of a map, to know what is where for what's locked down?

[Jack pulls out a small comm device.] "Check your pockets. Everyone else has shown up with one of these, but missing everything else they were carrying."

[A few buttons bring up the map, and then an overlay of dots appears to give people's locations.] "We've got more than a dozen people on board, I keep losing track. Every time I catch up with everyone, more people show up." [A few whole sections of the map are darkened. Jack also brings up a specific part of the most active section, the one that Jack and Alex are in.]

"We're here...over there is the Gardens, it's a biodome that provides the oxygen and water filtration, but, well, it's not exactly safe, either, so don't go wandering in there."
lessandmorethanhuman: (Listening...)

[personal profile] lessandmorethanhuman 2013-03-07 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Shoving his hands in his pockets, Alex was kind of glad he didn't need to carry extra equipment, if it got taken away. Besides, why bother with his own, when Jack clearly already had the map up and running. Just walk right over, and sit down at the table, eying the dark spots versus the rest of the station.]

"Not safe how? I'm somewhat used to taking care of myself, in dangerous situations."

"Apparently, predatory vines and giant rats. But it's not a place we want to mess around with, because we are depending on it for the oxygen, and we have no way of regenerating it if we accidentally kill off too much. Just keep the vines back from extending out of the Gardens, that's the best we're doing right now."

[Jack anticipates the objection.] "I don't really like it, either, but, as I keep somehow mentioning, alien botany's not my specialty. Or anyone's on the Station so far, really."
lessandmorethanhuman: (Say that again..)

"...botany isn't something I'm good at either, so for now, I guess I can keep from exploring."

[Never mind that yes, his curiosity was peaked. He hadn't promised NOT to try and explore--he'd just have to be careful to not damage anything. Much.]

"So we're trapped in dead space, with nothing around us...and our priority is what, exactly, besides staying alive?"

[Which wasn't a bad priority really, but sitting around doing nothing did not make Alex a happy man.]

[And now there's a homeless-looking guy wandering the mess hall. Just like this place couldn't get any worse, there's a vagrant problem. Wellp, time for the Station's resident nutcase to meet him! Crichton wanders into the mess hall eating a chocolate bar]

Hey, you look lost. You lost or somethin'?
lessandmorethanhuman: (Looking almost normal)

Gonna treat it as a dif. thread than with Jack--aka Alex knows nothing still. ^^

[personal profile] lessandmorethanhuman 2013-03-08 12:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[Welp...kind of. Alex knew he was in a mess hall...just nothing else. Have a faint eyebrow raise. Still not being greeted with shot-guns yet, that's a good thing.]

"If waking up somewhere strange and only being able to tell where I am means I know I'm in a mess hall counts as lost, then yeah."

[Don't mind the dry sarcasm. Really.]
screwyouharvey: (grr)

Oh great. Another sarcastic guy.

[Crichton takes another bite of the chocolate bar, talking with his mouth sort of full]

So what's your story?

Sarcasm is a great coping mechanism for stress, don'tcha know.

[More dry-snark than outright sarcasm, along with a half-smirk as Alex regards Crichton.]

"What's yours? Rude to talk with your mouth full too."

Mess Hall

[personal profile] renedouche 2013-03-25 03:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[Shepard's getting real tired of this bullshit. Waking up in a strange place was cute once. Now? Now, it's just annoying. And what the hell did they bring him here for? To shuttle supplies? Shepard's not a delivery service. Especially when he's in the middle of his own mission. For their own sake, the crew of this station better pray the Collectors haven't hurt Shepard's crew. Or taken any other colonies.

So it's to the mess hall right now, to eat and figure things out. He plops the tray on a nearby table and sits down. Was he invited to sit down? Probably not. Does he care? Not in the slightest.]

[ Jo’s already sitting there with a tray of her own food, picking through the remains of whatever goop happened to be served up today. She’d decided at some point that it might be freeze dried brains from some long dead animal – judging only by the color, of course – and had promptly decided to no longer try and decipher what it might be from that point on.

She jumps when a second tray clatters to the table, and looks over, shoving a strand of curly hair behind her ear. ]


Whoa, baby. Careful – it might just run off your tray if you treat it bad.

I'm not your baby.

[Said matter-of-factly. Doesn't she know who he is?]

[ She sure doesn’t -- and she sure don’t care none, either. He just gets a kind of look while she continues to pick at her dinner. Oh boy. Another one of THOSE. ]

Uh huh. You new?
renedouche: (pic#5901536)

[personal profile] renedouche 2013-03-25 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)
That obvious?

[He doesn't care what kind of look she's giving him. Instead he's poking at the grey matter this place calls food with his fork.]

‘Lil bit.

[ She’s doing much the same. ]

So what’s your name? If you’ve got one. [ some folks didn’t. some did. ]

Shepard.

[That's all she needs. He's perfectly fine nosing into other people's business when it suits him. Not the other way around.]

You?

Jo.

[ eh, she’s not bothering to give people the full ‘Johanna’ here – she likes Jo much better and when people find out her last name they start to call her JoJo and then things just go downhill from there. ]

Food’s shit, but it’s not so bad here. [ she pauses to chomp down on her ‘brains’. ] If you like cold, dead space I guess.

I've got business to take care of.

[His entire crew has been taken. The Collectors invaded his ship and took his crew. That's an insult of the highest caliber. He wants to see the Collectors and their base burn. He can't do that if he's trapped in dead space. So in his opinion, being here is pretty damn horrible.]

Me too. [ stupid Division prick won't stop calling. ]

What've you got going on, or is that top secret?

[personal profile] renedouche 2013-03-25 03:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Collectors have been kidnapping human colonists. The Alliance is too far stuck up their own asses to give a damn.

[And then they had to go and make it personal.]

I'm going to stop them. Right after I shoot that Harbinger asshole in all four of his eyes.

[ Jo pulls a face. ]

Gross. Sounds like the Daltori. Same kind of fuckers – picking off colonists one by one, or by the vessel. Rude as shit.

[ she chomps down on a bite, then swallows with a grimace. ]

You Division?

[Gross. Collectors are kidnapping people and all she can say is gross. She looks like a civilian, so he's not going to rail into her.]

No. And I'm not Cerberus either.

[He used to be Alliance. Then they turned their backs on him. So fuck them.]

That sarcasm?

[ okay no more gruel. She's done. Pushing that away now. ]

Can't tell. You're one of those stoic dudes that're hard to read.
