.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? |
Ezra, meet Tiny Proto-Vader
"If you aren't going to take any, can you let others through to get some?" He asked. And if his words weren't enough to hint at the reason for his impatience, his stomach growled audibly. He hated the feeling of being hungry.
I think there might be trouble afoot
"Hey I'm hungry too, I just... I have no idea what any of this is. Certainly aren't meiloroons here, that's for sure."
Hey, less talk. More eating. He could compromise with talking while eating
"Food," he pointed at the serving tray in front of them. Then pointed at various other options. "Food, food. Food. That's food, too. Also food. If you have restrictions, you can tell the head guy and they'll make you something if there isn't anything out here you can eat." He was trying to be helpful, but also to move things along - there's food to be had.
then eating it is!
"You're really not picky are you." Ezra commented, "How do you know none of this stuff might kill you if you don't know what it is?"
To eating!
He shrugged again. "I've been here a few months," he said between scoops of food. "Nothings killed me yet. And besides, even though the Owmi've kidnapped us, they don't seem to want to kill us. If you don't try to go where you're not allowed, and you're not hurting anyone, then they pretty much leave you alone."
Plate full, he started moving towards the nearest empty table.
:D
"Hey, I'm Ezra, by the way. Thanks for making sure I don't die from the first thing I eat here."

And Anakin promptly went to it and picked out the largest cup on offer and filled it with simply water. Until he left Tatooine, he'd never imagined something as amazing as seemingly endless glass-fulls of water. Water was so rationed on that desert hellscape, sometimes Watto 'forgot' to provide any to him and Shmi. The feeling of dehydration in his mouth was the second worst feeling next to a hungry stomach.
But here - like on Coruscant and Naboo - everyone had as much water as they wanted and he supposed a small part of him was grateful to the Owmi for never denying him water.
He made it back to the table quickly enough.
"One of the new arrivals, huh?" And he sat down to eat.

Instead of sitting across from Anakin he sat beside him, and started munching on a piece of fruit and looking at Anakin's braid for a moment before looking back at his tray.

And then Anakin dove into his food with all the uncouth manners of someone who'd spent the first ten years of his life on a desolate Outer Rim planet - and without a master here to remind him, he fall back on old habits. He didn't think too much of Ezra picking a seat right next to - even if he wasn't used to people doing so - until he caught the older boy staring at him.
With the eating utensil frozen mid-way to his mouth, Anakin swallowed. His eyes shifted around, trying to find the reason for Ezra's focus. "What?"
no subject
He wasn't even sure the boy across from him was force sensitive, he hadn't been able to feel a thing in the Force since he found himself there and it was still jarring.

"How haven't any of the Masters punished you?"

Now he's confused, he was sure that what happened to Kanan was not any kind of fabrication, he could feel how badly Empire Day had destroyed him. But having Anakin tell him these things made him wonder if something weirder was going on with this strange place than just him meeting another jedi.

"Are you really out there fighting the Sith? My master defeated one a few years ago. And the Masters all won't talk about it with me but I overhear them talking sometimes and they all know there's another one because they all say they always come in two."
Yes, it made sense, if this padawan and his master were undercover, fighting the Sith, then a padawan braid would give it all away.

"From what I know they have a hierarchy, but yeah, you can guarantee if there's one there's probably more you just can't see. And the ones you can't see are usually the more powerful ones."
