.004 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. 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 actual 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. |
tiny space princesses are definitely accepted
She doesn't look upset over not being able to make it to the next shuttle. The young girl didn't appear to be in any trouble but there's absolutely no way Clara could ignore her.
"I'm Clara Oswald. Human from the planet Earth."
<3
"And I'm Leia Organa, human from the planet Alderaan." She actually did a little curtsey, the hem of the flowing Owmi-style shirt serving well enough as a dress. She is still a princess, after all, and occasionally she even acts like it. "It's nice to meet you, Miss Oswald."
"Did you just get here?", Leia asked. "I mean, you can't have been here too long, because you're human and I haven't seen you before- there's not a lot of us here-, but I don't think I got the announcement when it happened."

"It's nice to meet you, Leia from Alderaan. If you'd like you can call me Clara." Since she was given a curtsey, Clara gave one in return. Of course the name is sticking in her head for some reason - telling her that it's familiar but can't quite put her finger on where she might have heard it before.
"I did just arrive. Normally I've got this friend who takes me around to see different planets but seems like the Owmi has taken me on as a passenger." That's better than using the word 'kidnapped' to a little girl. "Have you been here long? You certainly seem to know where you're going in this large ship."
no subject
She nodded. "I think it's more the Orakalla that does that," she said. "Nobody seems to know why it started doing it, not even the Owmi, but I think there must be a reason."
"I've been here...", she had to pause a moment to do a bit of mental arithmetic, "about nine months now I think. It's a little hard to tell sometimes, since the Owmi use a different calendar than we do back home. But I do know my way around really well. 'Specially after that essperiment I worked on a while back; I had to go all over the place to do that."
"Anyway, it's this way," Leia said, starting off down the hall a few steps and gesturing for Clara to follow. "Just follow me!"

"That glowing light right?" One hand pointed up as if to gesture where the light was. "Maybe someone wanted it to bring us here. Someone who's not telling us why. Or maybe it decided it on its own."
Nine months is a long time to be stuck here -- to be stuck anywhere honestly. Leia has probably made friends, got someone who's taken her in and is looking after her but that's also nine months to be away from her home, maybe even her family too. Clara doesn't bother bringing that up because she doesn't want to make Leia sad since she doesn't seem like she is now. "What sort of experiment did you do?"
A nod of her head and she followed after the girl, catching up to her easily with a few longer strides.
no subject
And yes, nine months was a long time. Especially when one is six years old. "Well, you know all those crystals growing on the walls of the Sacred Keep where you first arrive?" Leia said as they began to walk together. "I wanted to see if they'd grow other places too. And some of them did! But only in places where people like us- people that the Orakalla brought here- spend lots of time. It's like something about it rubbed off on us or something."
