.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? |
Skywalkers make everything awkward
Anakin was good at filling silences with loud noises.
"It's been three months-" more or less. "And it wasn't my fault. I've tried to get away." And with that he was overcome with the urge to give Obi-Wan a hug. Three months was interminable for someone who really couldn't sit still for five minutes.
So he stepped forward to do just that, to give his friend a hug.
OOC: I'll leave it up to you if that hugs gets completed, lol.
no subject
Obi-Wan just kind of stands there in stiff silence as he's embraced by his old friend. This was a very far cry from the Anakin he had just seen prior to arriving here. His face wasn't twisted with darkness and anger. No hateful words came from his mouth. This was more like how he had been before. If not a little clingier. Still, Obi-Wan was trying to process this. Three months? How? It didn't make any sense.
"I'm... not sure I understand."
no subject
But he stepped back, more respectful now that that was out of his system.
"I know- . This place is..." Anakin reached for a way to explain. "It's like Mortis. Remember how when we were there, time didn't work right?"
no subject
"It's hard not to remember that."
It had certainly been an odd experience to say the least. But yes, he is listening.
no subject
Oh, the good news first-
"There are no incarnations of the Force here to move us around like pawns." Which should be comforting. At least they didn't have that to get in the way.
"But the time distortion... uh," the bad news. His brow furrowed, because he was just so new to this, he didn't have a set explanation. "The Orakalla can... pull people here from different points in time. What is the last thing you remember?" The question was asked with such a bright earnestness, wholly unaware of the dark answer.
no subject
"Before I answer that, tell me what you last remember."
Because he knows for certain that he must be from Anakin's future.
no subject
The brightness, the exuberance at seeing his former Master again, faded from his face and he crossed his arms.
He settled on being direct.
"Palpatine," not Chancellor, no honorific title, "had just revealed he was- is Darth Sidious. Four of the Council had gone over to arrest him. I followed to help. I'd just been walking into Palpatine's chambers when I was taken. You were on Utapau."
no subject
"Anakin, sit with me."
He motioned to where he had just been sitting just moments before.
"We have much to talk about."
no subject
"You're from after that?" His question was weighted with acceptance, not confusion.
no subject
The tone in Anakin's voice was not quite what he had anticipated. Did he already know? Obi-Wan wasn't sure, but as much as he wanted to protect Anakin, he knew he couldn't hide the truth from him. At least not entirely.
no subject
no subject
He's a little surprised though that Anakin knows about him. Apparently, someone here must have told him.
no subject
"Luke was here for a while," he said. He took a breath and looked up again. "He told me what happens. About Palpatine getting away and turning the Republic into an Empire." He paused before adding, "He told me I die before he was born."
no subject
"Many Jedi were slain. I barely escaped with my own life."
no subject
no subject
Though he did hold out hope that there were others that had escaped the new empire.
no subject
He wasn't quite sure what to say anymore about that.
"Well, we can't leave until that glowing orb sends us back. We tried to leave but that... didn't go as planned." That was putting it charitably.
"Someone else said that the Orakalla will send us back to the moment it took us from. So there's a chance we can fix whatever went wrong back home."
no subject
Because now as he started to think on it a little more, perhaps this was a blessing in disguise. Perhaps this could be a second chance. For Anakin as well as himself. A chance to make things right again.
