Test Drive!


Test Drive




This is a test drive for The Last Resort. You can use one of the handy prompts or make up your own.

Prompts



Prompt #1

Your character is sent as part of a team to explore Subterranean Library #12. There are hostiles hiding in the dark that have to be safely bypassed without creating explosions and without getting shot. There are books that can be brought to the museum (or sold). What happens if two people with different intentions collide?

Prompt #2

So your character is out in the desert. It might be for a dig, a nice walk, doing something they shouldn't. Who knows? But unfortunately one of the worst invasive species is about to rear its head: a young sandworm.

This isn't something that happens often to people, and even this young it's going to take more than a normal gun as permitted on the planet, or the limited abilities that people currently possess. Most of what you would do would just slow it down.

This is one of these cases where it's better to run; you want to get to security or to a guide and report this, and you want to get out of the range of those teeth as fast as you can.

Prompt #3

You've been given a chance to tell the entire universe about your reasons for coming to the village and town as a part of a documentary in progress. Alternately, you have done so and are being confronted by your first fan in front of a friend. They've read all your fanfiction,, they ship you with some other import (maybe your friend, maybe someone else, maybe they actually hate your friend), and they printed out a picture of you that they want to have signed.

Prompt #4

Choose your own adventure (first network or log posts can later be used as game canon once related apps are approved).



Please help tag out if you're currently in the game and help introduce people to the game. If you have definitive preferences in play style, please mention it in your posts.

[ A flash of a charming smile fills the screen. A man with messy dirty blond hair in a bright red leather duster on. Some old style headphones hang around his neck. As he lifts his beer towards the camera.]

Starlord here, yeah. Starlord, remember it! I just came as part of a dare. Yeah, I admit it. But hey, this place is pretty cool man. I kinda like whole vibe.

[ He chuckled, because he's a bit buzzed and really has nothing better to offer.]

Starlord out. [ He makes a mock salute and downs the rest of the glass in one gulp.]

[There is a woman at the other end, listening to his short greeting. She takes a moment before she turns her own screen on. She's an import too, though a recent one. She looks a little manufactured, too. While her usual warmth is genuine, her facial expressions blunt and there's nothing about her personality that is obfuscated, her nails and hair grow light blue, her lips are a perfect shad that shouldn't happen without lipstick, and her body is the sort of body that should require an hour of jogging or dancing but mostly she just hangs out at the brothel all day.]

[She was thinking about flirting because, hey, a girl can get booty too. Her heart will always belong to Kai, but she has certain needs that haven't been met (because the dead can't meet those needs, as Kai would tell her). But she hears the name "Starlord" and that holds her up.]

[What sort of a name is "Starlord?" That sounds a little egotistical.] Please don't tell me that you're collecting planets or starting to run an empire. [She comments in her particular B3K accent (which is a little Earth-nordic).] I've run across enough of those.

[ He laughed at the womans question. It was one he had likely heard before giving such a name for himself. Understandable, but not his style. Conquest was so not his thing.]

Nope, I'm an outlaw baby. Only thing I collect is bounties and treasure. [ He gives a flirty grin. Damn, she was hot.]
love_slave: (zev - famished)

[personal profile] love_slave 2014-10-27 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
I thought bounties were for the outlaws. You must try to get into all the trouble you can find.

[And she is trouble. Horrible, damning trouble that he would do well to beware. But you know, she's a flirt, too. And an endlessly curious carnivore.]

[Really there is no winning here for this poor man.]
imhookedonafeeling: (miscalculation)

[personal profile] imhookedonafeeling 2014-10-29 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Legendary Outlaw. [ he had to say with a smug grin, oh damn he was enjoying those looks.

He had no idea she was a Maneater]


Maybe I do, maybe I dont. Maybe it's just a hell of a ride. [ he winked then.]

love_slave: (zev - cocky)

I feel like I've put you to a terrible test with godawful lines.

[personal profile] love_slave 2014-10-30 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
As long as you promise to live long enough to let me try out this ride.

I've had a little bit of a problem with that. [She sounds flirty but that should come with a whole bucket of warning bells right there.]
imhookedonafeeling: (Bang bang)

Challenge accepted.

[personal profile] imhookedonafeeling 2014-11-01 03:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[ hook line and sinker.] It'll be one hell of a ride baby. Trust that.

[ Oh, Peter...] Nothings gonna take me now.

love_slave: (zev - head tilt)

[personal profile] love_slave 2014-11-02 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Has anything came close to doing it before? [Now she's curious. Even if he's full of hot air, it promises to be a good story, right? Zev is easily impressed. He doesn't seem like the Stanley Tweedle type in the slightest (even if she can be tricked).]
imhookedonafeeling: (floaty thing)

[personal profile] imhookedonafeeling 2014-11-04 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
A time or two, sure. What's an adventure without getting a little to personal with the reaper? But I don't fear the reaper, do you?

[ He spoke in an amused tone. He waved a hand a bit.] Is it the story or the ride your after, babe?

[personal profile] quixotically 2014-10-27 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
... A dare. [Elle is starting to laugh.] You decided to just jump universes based on a dare?

[Must be nice, to be able to just do what you want, go where you want, no responsibilities, nobody to answer to, nothing. But then, at the same time, Elle wonders if she could really be happy with a life like that. She's a bit too interfering for that, she thinks. Has to get her hands on everything.]

It's a good thing it's such a nice place. Relatively speaking, I mean. [Because this world isn't without its dangers. She knows this from experience.] What would've you done if it was too dangerous?
imhookedonafeeling: (jump)

[personal profile] imhookedonafeeling 2014-10-29 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Why not? Seemed as good a reason as any.

[ He shrugged a bit, clearly amused. He took a drink from his beer as she spoke then shrugged some.] I would'a had one hell of a time.
quixotically: (speech ♧ c'mon chin up)

[personal profile] quixotically 2014-10-29 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[Elle starts to grin.]

I guess so. [A reply to both of his statements.] I just mean, y'know. It's more than just running a few towns over, or something. Seems like for other people, it's kind of a big deal. This kind of thing common where you're from?
imhookedonafeeling: (groovy)

[personal profile] imhookedonafeeling 2014-11-01 03:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Pretty much common, we all live in space so we all kinda jump planet when we want. Namely in my line of work.
quixotically: (speech ♧ fully engaged)

[personal profile] quixotically 2014-11-01 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
In space? Whoa. That has to be so cool. What do you do? Are you a trader or something?
imhookedonafeeling: (groovy)

[personal profile] imhookedonafeeling 2014-11-04 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
A bit of a hero a bit of a ravenger, I'm whatever I decide to be each day. I make my own story. [ He winked and took another long pull from his beer.]
quixotically: (speech ♧ let me be honest)

[personal profile] quixotically 2014-11-12 09:19 am (UTC)(link)
Traveling where the wind may take you, all that good stuff? [a pause.] The metaphoric wind, I guess.

What kind of stories do you like to make?
imhookedonafeeling: (not amused)

[personal profile] imhookedonafeeling 2014-11-12 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep, that'd be more or less accurate.

[ He chuckled and took a drink of his beer, draining the rest of the glass.]

The kind that make me the hero of course. What better stories are their?
exiledcore: (Alex Uh-huh)

[personal profile] exiledcore 2014-10-28 03:43 pm (UTC)(link)
You came here just because someone dared you to do it? That's quite impetuous. Is this sort of travel easy in your world?

[What was that saying about humans and jumping off of bridges again?]
imhookedonafeeling: (try me)

[personal profile] imhookedonafeeling 2014-10-29 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep, pretty much the everyday. Namely if you for a ship like mine.
exiledcore: (Alex Uh-huh)

[personal profile] exiledcore 2014-10-30 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? I gather it's one of those star-reaching vessels versus the sea-faring ones I am used to.

[Alex pauses for a moment, thinking.]

You call yourself 'Starlord'. Are you an actual star?
imhookedonafeeling: (boyish charm)

[personal profile] imhookedonafeeling 2014-11-01 03:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep, its a space ship alright. Just a shot in the dark, your from Terra or Earth, depending on what you call it in your place?

[ he shakes his head some.] Nope, but I am a celebrity. [ Bullshit Peter.]
exiledcore: (Alex Cute)

[personal profile] exiledcore 2014-11-01 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
It's called Fa'Diel, and I'm led to believe it's a different dimension.

[Still, Alex has something important on his mind.]

Have you ever seen a star, up close? Since you have a ship, I would gather you have seen many in your travels. But have you ever been close to one?
imhookedonafeeling: (boyish charm)

[personal profile] imhookedonafeeling 2014-11-04 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Babe, you dont wanna get too close to stars. Their gravity can suck in even a strong ship like mine. Sure I've seen one or two pretty close but I ain't even been that crazy, yet.
exiledcore: (Alex Cute)

1/2

[personal profile] exiledcore 2014-11-04 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Babe? [He chuckles, genuinely amused.] Normally I'm not called that when I look like this.

exiledcore: For Florina (Alex Fight)

2/2

[personal profile] exiledcore 2014-11-04 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[The smile fades, replaced with a more solemn gleam to his eyes.]

I know. My world is more primitive then this one, but I given a chance to learn more about them, from a star himself. I don't know how he was able to turn himself into a form I could speak to. Maybe it was because he was dying. But he taught me things. He tried to help me. So I wondered if others had ever at least tried to go near them.

What are they like, when they're up in the sky, burning?
