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.

no subject
His shoulders relax when he realizes she's going to leave him alone, hopefully, but then she goes and holds his hand? Just like that? His hands that have long been stained with blood of countless victims. Oh God, why do people insist on touching him?
Five retracts his hand. Fast. ]
Sure. Let's go find something more to my liking.
Without the hand holding.
[ He can't help but to draw back his surly attitude with her. She seems so young and innocent. Maybe a part of him wants to make sure she doesn't get hurt if she's this openly friendly with strangers. ]
no subject
Maybe he'll warm up to her.
(No, Euphie, young men aren't cats. Or are they? She's 16, the jury's still out on a lot of things.)
That thought brightens her mood nonetheless, and she gestures for him to come along. If you won't hold her hand, she's just going to have to hover to make sure you stay close. ]
So, what do you like to eat? I'm Euphie, by the way. Are you here alone?
no subject
His hands stuff in the pockets of his uniform shorts as he walks alongside of her. He keeps his eyes forward as he answers her question with utmost honesty. ]
I'm Five. Coffee. Margaritas. Twinkies that haven't expired. Peanut butter and marshmallow sandwiches and I suppose...
[ He looks over at her and says with the straightest face: ]
I have acquired the taste for cockroaches.
[ He doesn't answer her last question. ]
no subject
[ Is it safe to be telling strangers she's friends with a known terrorist? Probably not, but. Well, we're pretty far from home.
Anyway, don't worry about having dodged her question, 'Five'. You answered that by having a name like Five and also looking 12 and claiming to like coffee and margaritas. Definitely an orphan or something. ]
...didn't you just say you didn't do sweets? All of those are sweets.
[ Even the margaritas, or so she hears. She's never had alcohol before. She's a princess. There'd have been a scandal. The bit about the bugs doesn't cause her to miss a beat and she just continues nodding along. ]
I've had chocolate covered crickets before. You can't even tell they're bugs, really. I was a little disappointed.
Do you want some sweets, then? I think I saw something a bit like a Twinkie on the dessert table...
no subject
Coffee before anything. I drink it black, not sweet. I haven't found any here since we arrived.
[ A pause. ]
Are you alone?
[ Cause his protective instincts are already kicking in. He's a timeline professional assassin. It would be a shame if someone tried to mess with her with him on her good side. ]
no subject
Of course, she's still quite confused about what Five actually likes to eat now, but instead of worrying about it she's trying to find him that bit of sponge cake with the cream that reminded her of Twinkies.
The question from him causes her to wrinkle her nose a bit, expression taking a brief, awkward cast. ]
Sort of, I don't know. Mostly. I saw someone I recognized... but he was in that video we all saw when we arrived, and— [ She pauses, expression turning pensive. ] He seemed... different somehow. But happy...? But I haven't been able to find him, so.
I suppose I am alone.
no subject
He finds the sponge cake before she does and helps himself by swiping some of the icing with his finger and tasting it. There's a wrinkle of his nose. ]
Well. That makes two of us. Though, I suppose this isn't anything new for me.
[ 45 years of apocalypse wasteland and not a single soul. Well, besides the mannequin he befriended and eventually dated. Being alone in a foreign place.. this isn't his first time.
He's not going to admit it, but he'll keep his eye on her. Someone so young and friendly shouldn't be alone in a place like this. ]
Do you know anything about quantum physics?
