Test Drive

[travelagency]

Test Drive This is the first test drive for The Last Resort. You can use one of the handy prompts or make up your own. Prompts Prompt #1 There's a new drug being passed through the seedy end of the town which gives many bipedal species the temporary ability to shapeshift into someone else of their species. Needless to say it's very dangerous. Are you working on a cure? Currently trying it out to look hot at the bar? Trying to weed out the dealers? Prompt #2 When a cavespider attacks, usually someone doesn't lose much in the way of memories. They might not even notice what's gone. But your character has been swarmed with them and only remembers half of anything. Try to figure out some things about yourself again by talking to your friends and hope that your memories will be recovered with the reminders. Try not to take advantage of someone and lie to someone with the problem, though. Or do it, you need all the advantages you can get. Prompt #3 A notable and extremely wealthy alien ambassador has just arrived. He loves luxury but is extremely difficult to please. He is also said to be a collector of rare artefacts and some suspect that he may be here to receive stolen goods. Are you staff complaining about his behavior? A scientist keeping a close eye on the museum collections while the ambassador around? A thief planning a heist with a friend in order to sell the goods to the ambassador? Prompt #4 Having a drink at Pugsy's bar, because someone has to try the exotic booze. Be careful, some of it's made with blood. Navigation

Is all good!

[There's an edge of concern. It may be familiar to Perry; any Earth in trouble is an Earth in trouble. It's like finding out an alternate version of your wife is tied by a villain stereotype and left on the railroad tracks. She might not know you but you don't want her to be there and would panic about it anyway. That's Earth, any Earth for him.]

Yeah, I know how that goes [is all that he says, though. He's still having to wrap his head around this "not my business" thing.]

[This spaceship story catches his attention too, though, and he might as well find out what some ambiguous version of himself got up to.] So what about this cruise was such a bag of dicks?

You want the long or the short version? [Perry hesitates, trying to decide exactly how to start.] First off, it's a prison. Full of a whole bunch of assholes from different universes. Second, it's run by the biggest asshole of them all. There's always some messed up stuff going down, and it's all even more fucked up because people have magic powers and crazy science shit to throw into the mix. And don't get me started on the random personality changes and stops in different worlds.

[He shrugs, somewhat sheepishly.] Sounds crazy, right? I guess it's hard to explain what it's really like if you haven't been there.

[most_feared]

Nah. Not too crazy. But sounds sorta shady as far as prisons go. There's a few prison ships I know about but they're always kind of a risk.

[He assumes he must have been a little desperate to sign onto a place like that, unless somehow they were MiB affiliated.] Anyway, guess you're glad as hell not to be on there anymore.

What plans you got to kick your invasion in the ass?
