The Station Info Menu

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.

[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."

[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]

"...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.]
