.002 The Fleet's Test Drive Meme
The Fleet: Test Drive Meme. 2. Comment with your thread start, with your character name and fandom in the subject line. 3. Tag into other's threads. 4. Have fun! 5. And what happens on the TDM defaults to staying on the TDM (it's not taken in game), unless all players involved agree AND you have mod approval to c&p the thread to the log comm. You must get mod approval. **If you have questions, ask the Mods You've arrived! You've been seen by a coolly efficient (what you hope is a) medical professional - after all they did give you a shot of something. Then you were handed a slew of things you're still trying to process - communication devices, a ring (which is also a key?), a piece of transparent film that's flashing information. And clothing, that was a thoughtful gesture. And then there was the explanation - You've been taken (isn't that a nice way of saying 'kidnapped') by that floating orb of light, you can't leave, but while you're here you get room and board. Is that really a fair trade? Oh, and to top everything off, you have a set of gem like stones set into your chest, that you can't remove. Before you know it, you've moved with the crowd towards the shuttle and now that you are sitting down, it's now suddenly sinking in. You are so very far from home. [NOTE: Please note that the actual arrival process is different from the above scenario - please see the New Arrivals Page for a detailed explanation of the arrival process.] [Cafeteria] You’re hungry, and though the smells coming from the cafeteria are strange, they are alluring. The grumble in your belly tells you it’s worth chancing. [Multipurpose Common Area] You’re bored but haven’t quite worked up the courage to venture out into the greater parts of the station. The common area of the residential community seems like it might provide some distractions. And the view out the large windows lining one wall is simply stunning. [The Center Station Central Gardens] In an environment where spatial expansion is finite, it seems extravagant to house a garden this big. What looks like giant trees at first glance, turn outo be the wire structures that rise up six stores before fanning out actually house various breeds of creeping vines. There are two levels of raised walkways that wind around the vine structures. The ground level also wraps lazily through various plots of vegetation. There is enough variety of plants here to keep anyone interested for hours. [Cemetery Ring] If you’re in more for a somber atmosphere, the Cemetery Ring is open to everyone. The first sign posted outside the door reads "We are the lights that shines brightest against the night." The sign below it simply says "All are welcome." This wide corridor, that traverses the whole very top of the Inner Rings, is dimly lit, but pinpoints of light twinkle all over the wall. The wall juts out in an effort to create more surface area for memorials to those Owmi who have passed on to the next life since the Owmi started their nomadic journey. The peacefulness of the room is inviting. [Strange Lights - previous plot] Something strange is happening. You've been here just a few days and before you can even get used to the fact you are an abductee of a glowing ball of light, you now have an aura of lights hanging around your head. The colors change, and if you watch them for a moment (from a mirror - they are hard to get a good look of out of the corner of your eye) you notice they match the colors of the gem like stones fixed to your chest. And if you're really observant, you might catch on that the colors and intensity of the lights change with your mood. [Pinkie Pie's Fun Day Celebration - previous plot] Confetti/Glitter Bombs! Sometimes there’s a pair of eyes watching various residents going in and out of their rooms. Or walking around the habitat station at various places. Wherever your character may be, Pinkie is waiting with a bucket full of confetti or glitter. She forgets which one she takes with her since she prepared so many for this day. How she’s getting around without being noticed is a mystery, but that works just fine for her! Common Area Mingling! At the common area, Pinkie has the entire place decked out with balloons, confetti, several piñatas hanging from the ceiling (how did they get up there?!), and an area set up for games. She couldn’t find the actual games like the ones back home, so she had to make them herself. There’s chess, Twister, but instead of boring circles, there’s images of pink icing-covered donuts, chocolate chip cookies, blue cupcakes, and pistachio ice cream cups taped to the floor in four rows of ten, a place to play card games with images of herself in various costumes along with the card suits. There are several cakes with names attached to them on any table she could find. There’s one large cake with no name for everyone and everypony to share! It’s oddly plain, isn’t it? Not suspicious at all! There’s also snacks like fruit, cheese, crackers, cookies, and drinks to enjoy! No alcohol, though! Sorry! This party is rated G! And of course the party has piñata. A blindfold and stick are ready for the first challenger! Choose any piñata there! One looks dangerous! They’re filled with candy! Or confetti! Or both! “Step right up, ladies and gentlecolts! Try your luck and break open a piñata!” [NOTE: Please note that Pinkie Pie is no longer in game, so she will not be responding to any threads using this option.] [Planet Exploration: Baj E'oku Prime - current plot] A new opportunity! No longer do you need to wander the giant space Habitat Station. You now get the opportunity to explore a section of the planet Baj E'oku Prime. It's small, tidal locked planet. The area you can explore is dusty and red with surprising wild life. There are canyons and highlands, rivers and caves to explore. (See link for greater details.) What adventures or trouble will you find? |
Lily Evans - Harry Potter - OTA
Lily walked the raised path looping around one of the towering vine structures, and fought with the part of herself that could admire beauty even in the midst of experiencing kidnapping.
"Okay fine," she grumbled to herself. "This is beautiful." But she said it with a frown, as with her arms crossed, so it has difficult to find the compliment. She walked to the railing and leaned against it, just taking a moment to look out down over the gardens below. She wasn't sure what she'd expected of space, but this wasn't it.
[Cemetery Ring]
Lily reached out a hesitant hand and tentatively touched the abstract blue gem fixed to the wall. The moment her finger made contact she withdrew it, connecting what it was she was looking at.
"Oh." This was the Owmi way to memorialize the dead. Oh. This wasn't just an interesting room full of colorful lights fixed to the wall.
Lily gripped her hand into a fist and held it at her side, looking around, expecting someone official to show up and tell her to stop desecrating the dead.
no subject
She appeared to be vaguely familiar and upon closer inspection his assumptions were correct. Since this place had brought Regulus, he wasn't surprised to see Miss Evans as here. It didn't mean he was pleased.
no subject
She blinked at the man. There was something vaguely familiar about him, but when she thought about it, no name came to mind.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt your reading. I didn't know another one of us was even around."
Cemetery Ring
Re: Cemetery Ring
"I- but... we should probably not, right? Those are dead people alien remains, right?" She tried to think about touching bones and how weird and creepy that would be. This was like that, wasn't it?
Re: Cemetery Ring
Leia nodded. "They are," she confirmed. "But if the Owmi were really worried about people touching them, they probably wouldn't put them all over the walls like this where people could, even if they just do it by accident."
"I can see why it might make you feel weird, though," she said. "I'd probably feel weirder about it if I hadn't found one down on the planet. Or maybe if I was Owmi too, and had had one my whole life."
"But really it just feels... peaceful here," she said. "Quiet. And maybe a little sad. These garas are all that's left of the Owmi they used to belong too. Maybe the only proof they ever existed at all. I think... I don't think they'd mind connecting to someone again, even for just a minute."
Re: Cemetery Ring
It was very peaceful here, and now that she knew what these gems on the wall were, she had to agree that it was also a little sad.
"Do you think their... souls are in these gems?" And if they were dead... "How could they connect to me just by me touching them?"
Re: Cemetery Ring
"It's more like... how a piece of art can connect you to the artist that made it, even if they died a long time ago," she said. "If you make something like that, you put a little piece of yourself into it, and people can feel that when they look at it or touch it. I think... maybe a little piece of them is still here in these garas."
