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.
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.
[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?
Hey, every womans pretty no matter how shes looking at any point. Thus, always a babe.
Oh damn, thats pretty amazing. I'd love to hear more about that! As for what stars are like, pretty much what you just said. Their pretty damn large and burn brighter then most can imagine. Its beautiful but deadly.
[He really couldn't tell? Alex is trying his hardest not to laugh. Granted, he did look somewhat androgynous as a male, but he had never come across another human who simply could not tell the difference.
Eh, why not? Alex fiddles with the ties on his top a little, loosening them slightly.]
Really, you should save that 'princess' for when I look...
[The shift can't entirely be called subtle, what with a definite appearance of breasts and a bright flash of green from his(?) necklace, or at least that general area. About a half-inch of height is lost, along with a softening of her features. Even if she's not painted with makeup, Alexandra is now very clearly a woman.
She winks at Starlord, then looks back down at her top, adjusting her shirt with some annoyance.]
I really need to remember to wear looser clothing.

[Alex pauses for a moment, thinking.]
You call yourself 'Starlord'. Are you an actual star?
no subject
[ he shakes his head some.] Nope, but I am a celebrity. [ Bullshit Peter.]
no subject
[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?

Ah, well, no need to ruin this Starlord's eventual surprise. Alex trades his slightly confused look for a small, interested smile.]
I would like to see one in their more natural state someday. Perhaps I'll get the chance to here.
But, more to the point, why do you call yourself 'Starlord'?
no subject
Maybe yeah, hell if I can get them to let me take the Milano out for a spin I could take you as close as we can get without gravity killing us.
Because, I can? I didn't pick the name princess, the people did. [ His mommy did.]
