test drive meme #1.
Hello, passengers and potential passengers!! Welcome to the first-ever eyemind Test Drive Meme. Here you have a chance to play around in the game's setting before deciding to app, test out new characters, or just roll around and have some fun. Enjoy!
No invite is necessary to play in the test drive, but please remember thateyemind is a (semi)private game and you must request an invitation before submitting an application. Request an invitation here!
Please note: Threads from the test drive meme DO NOT count toward AC and ARE NOT considered game canon, but you are welcome to use them for your app samples.
SCENARIO ONE: LIGHT UP THE NIGHT
The ship has stopped on Arion, near the settlement of Taunican, at the height of harvest season, and since the planet is largely agricultural, that means there is a big harvest festival a-happening.
What's neat about this festival is that it's not just a celebration of the harvest - it's a celebration of the community, and of the planet as a whole. The dominant local religion (for lack of a better term) isn't exactly experienced in term of worship but of honoring the planet itself - the seasons, the landscapes, the crops. Natives talk of Arion as if it is a living, breathing entity, because for them? Arion is.
Every evening while the ship is docked, there is a bonfire in the fields outside the town square, starting at dusk. There's a giant potluck feast, with everyone in attendance encouraged to bring dishes to share, but no one will be turned away if they arrive empty-handed. Fiddles and flutes and drums provide the soundtrack for the folk songs about Arion the locals sing around the fire; dancing and games and laughter are everywhere. This is a peaceful, joyous celebration, and you're invited!
SCENARIO TWO: WE NEED TO GO DEEPER
You're asleep, but maybe you don't know that - in the middle of a dream, it's not always easy to tell the difference between reality and the scenes your subconscious creates. You find yourself somewhere that may or may not be familiar, doing something that may be mundane or fantastical, but you're not alone. This is a dream you're sharing with your shipmates. What secrets and truths will you learn about each other?
SCENARIO THREE: STOP HITTING YOURSELF
Ope, looks like Navi’s wandered a little too close to an interdimensional rift in space-time, and now things are getting a little weird. If you happen to have superpowers, you may find that you don’t have quite as good of a hold on them as you do normally, or maybe now there are unintended side effects that occur when your powers are used. Maybe your character usually possesses enhanced strength or speed, and now they suddenly find themselves too swol to handle ordinary objects without crushing them, or they may have uncontrollable zooms and be physically unable to slow their roll.
No superpowers? No problem! Non-powered characters may find themselves deprived of one or more of their natural senses, i.e., sight, hearing, smell, taste, etc. Have fun being suddenly and temporarily blind! Walk into walls, eat trash, be free.

Don’t flatter yourself, woman only a little taller than me.
[ The temptation to float isn’t huge but it is there. ‘Little’ goes up her craw a bit. She’s not a short woman. ] That’s not romantic where I’m from. I just figured you were bored.
[ but the genuine level of confusion has her asking- ]
You don’t have food and drink where you’re from?

[Which was probably at least 50% optimism. As far as Tetramands went, Looma had always been on the petite side. She'd be lucky to hit even 10'0".]
How it works on Earth is of little consequence. For a Tetramand, that's simply the way it is. But at least you were not so forward as to challenge me to a real fight- in the unlikely scenario you would actually win, the rest of this miserable journey would have been reeeally awkward.
[And if on offer to spar was seen as flirtatious, well. Going into this blind or not, Clara could probably imagine what a proper one-on-one fight would be considered. It certainly wouldn't take much effort, even if it might take considerably more just to figure out why and how it ever came to pass that beating the daylights out of one another was how engagements were formed and broken.]
We do, yes, but it's hardly entertainment. Or...leafy.
[She's going to be on the vegetable hate for a while. Fruit too, for that matter, but at least some of them tasted sugary sweet.]
What little can be grown is used for feeding the beasts, and it isn't as if we require much to drink in order to survive. If we had to drink as much as you humans do, there would not be a single Tetramand left alive on all of Khoros!

This woman is also loud. ]
Three things, if you don't mind. The first is that I'm really curious how you solve problems if any kind of fight is considered a romantic overture.
[ Maybe she can learn something here! ]
The second? Is that the entertainment isn't the food and drink. It's the people. The happiness that comes from a good harvest. It means that the winter won't be as hard and they don't have to worry about making it to the spring. And last?
[ She hates making this point. It makes her skin crawl, makes her feel like eyes are on her. It's so counter to everything she knows and she feels exposed. ]
Just because someone looks like me doesn't necessarily mean that they're human. It's something you should keep in mind on this 'journey' of ours. Or you might end up being very surprised.
