TEST DRIVE MEME #1

WHERE ANGELS FEAR TO TREAD
Your journey only happened because of your benefactor, so it begets that it starts at your benefactor as well. SUPERBIA, which is as much of a location as it is an entity, is where everyone's search for Fortuna begins.

There's not much of a welcome party: shortly after their fateful encounter with SUPERBIA, in which they swore to join the quest to find Fortuna, the new Privateers will find themselves afflicted by a sudden change in perspective. See, teleportation is a tricky process, so from SUPERBIA's point of view, why not make the target destination none other than itself? One highly disconcerting moment later, and the Privateers find themselves inside the belly of the beast.

The vast mega-structure is shockingly lonely, void of anyone other than the Privateers. Those who look off the metal satellite and to The Network for intelligence (or take a skim at the Space Wikipedia article) will find out that the surrounding space is clear for lightyears; rumors have it that the place is cursed. It won't take long to understand why.


1
Overclocked




The innards of SUPERBIA are that of an impossibly scaled up computer, and the Privateers start right in the middle of it. You are the spider living in the dusty PS4. Literal rivers of coolant, transistors the size of mountains, landscapes made entirely of circuitry. The sky, bounded by a distant metal ceiling, is constantly alight with coursing electricity that cracks the sky with lightning storms. It can be assumed that the Privateers are the first living things to set foot here, because such a place is not ever meant to be traversed by delicate, organic, mortals that worry about things such as "temperature" or "voltage". SUPERBIA needs not lifeforms to continue its operations; why design for them? Traversal itself is difficult: unscalable walls and perilous drops are common to encounter. The only company the Privateers will find are oddly adorable maintenance robots, which sadly seem too occupied by their directives of maintaining the massive machine to offer any assistance (or even acknowledgement of their new guests).

It is immediately clear that the most urgent priority is to get the hell out of here. Before your adventure ends at the starting line.


2
Skeletons In The Closet

If one stays inside SUPERBIA, either by getting horribly lost or losing all common sense, one will notice a peculiar pattern emerge as one gets deeper into the bowels of the mega-structure. Passages shrink and become more level, and the incredible hostility and danger of the surroundings fade away, until one comes across areas which were definitely intended for humanoid organisms to use at one point.

The construction of these areas is cramped, unfurnished, and dreary; they are reminiscent of artificial environments meant to handle harsh external conditions like a submarine or bunker, but they are entirely livable. One can eventually find distinct rooms, but everything in them has crumbled to dust and their original purpose is nigh impossible to discern. Deeper investigation may reveal the few items that have stood the test of time. While it is more plausible for life to have existed here, that doesn't seem to be the case now. What happened here?

3
The Shipyard

In the opposite direction, when one finally reaches the outer edges of SUPERBIA, they will be rewarded with the place to pick up a spaceship and a stunningly beautiful view of outer space. The outside of SUPERBIA has no atmosphere to get between you and the stars, and they shine brightly, like a beacon calling one out into the first steps of adventure.

The shipyard is already filled with countless space ships of every size, form, and function, all autonomously constructed by SUPERBIA's factories over the countless years. What's the harm in taking one or twenty out for a spin? Even if one has no intentions of permanent ownership of the vehicle, it's not like SUPERBIA will miss it. For a Privateer with a more specific vision, however, there are kiosks around the yard which will allow one to design their very own space ship down to their exact specifications. When the process is done SUPERBIA's matter printers will have it out and space-ready right before your very eyes.

If a Privateer has a ship, vehicle, or large item that they intended to bring with them, they will also find them here, neatly parked in the Shipyard. Why didn't SUPERBIA extend this courtesy to the pilot's themselves? The answer is revealed as soon as the owner makes a closer inspection: the inner contents have been rearranged, like a whirlwind was unleashed inside and assorted loose items thrown around. Now aren't you glad your transportation was given special attention, and the same didn't happen to your innards?

4
Hot Crewmates in Your Area

But how will a single Privateer man an entire space ship? No worries: when one steps into a ship, the strangely endearing maintenance robots will suddenly take acute interest. The robots will follow inside and immediately start assuming the duties of a spacefarer, eliminating the need for extra hands on deck.

Even still, there's just no eliminating the want for a human touch, though. Thankfully even that dilemma has a contingency plotted by SUPERBIA.

Communication devices are easily available on every space ship. They come in all shapes and sizes, ranging from huge stationary consoles to portable smartphone-like screens. But whenever a Privateer attempts to access the Network, a pop-up will appear, obscuring the whole screen.


The device will be rendered unusable until one relents to the pop-up's demands and provides answers to its questions. What will these be used for? The mystery will be solved when a social media app mysteriously installs itself on the same device, with profiles preemptively made for every Privateer. Each Privateer's profile consists of their given answers, paired with embarrassingly candid photographs. SUPERBIA has eyes in many places it seems.

HEllo! I'm very excited about this spaceship game! I thought it might be fun to try a character who is really not so much on the humanoid body situation, since the setting of this game seems about as well-suited to The Weird Stuff, and was wondering how such a being might be handled in the course of this TDM.

Ten here is basically just a satellite. She can't really move on her own, outside of some kind of zero-g maneuvering jet situation (depending on how pedantic we're going to be about the Pioneer missions, which for convenience sake isn't going to be very). That said, she would be a good crewmate and friend, and has excellent recon skills... so it's not like she's just a lump of insensate silicon.

Would it be reasonable to have her appear in the shipyard, bypassing the organic trek, or would she absolutely need someone(s) to lug her almost 600-pound physical body through that whole adventure first?

Seeking a CAPTAIN or CREW: CREW
Character Role/Job: Avanti is an experienced battlefield commander and part time space pirate.
Looking for: Okay so the deal here is that I was in a sci-fi tabletop RPG where we just made up our own gundam timeline. There were evil space fascists, space psychics, insane crimes against humanity, attempts to blow up the earth for philosophical reasons, lots of giant robots with golden Vs on their foreheads, and all the other good shit we associate with Gundam. Avanti was the captain of the ship that carried our band of heroic gundams from battle to battle and shouted orders dramatically.

TL;DR, Avanti Kadam is a character based VERY loosely on people like Bright Noa and other beleaguered starship captains, and I would LOVE for her to gather up a crew of giant robot pilots to be a babysitter for.

Chang Wufei ✦ Gundam Wing

[personal profile] zerofive 2022-10-08 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
i. overclocked
Wufei is not one to be particularly helpful to others. What he can do, however, is free-climb the seemingly-sheer metallic cliff-faces he is presented with, leap extraordinary distances, and at the very least not electrocute himself in the process.
erhaps you'll meet him as he's halfway up, climbing above you by clinging to fingerholds, or dropping a distance that seems entirely too far— if so, prepare to be ignored. If you can't help yourself, maybe you shouldn't have come here.

Or maybe, if you're lucky, and if you're skilled enough to get that far, you'll find him as you are climbing, and Wufei will begrudgingly consent to listen to your pleas... or maybe you'll just catch up to him while he's considering a jump, but before he makes it. In either case, talk fast. He's got places to be.


iii. shipyard
The shipyard, his eventual goal, finds Wufei moving between the ships with stoic purpose. He's not looking to commandeer a frigate, a shuttle, or a carrier— or anything else of the sort, at least not yet. What he's looking for is no less space-worthy, if more specialized, and... There!

"There you are," He says to himself; and so it is. The Gundam Altron stands at rest, every bit as tidily docked as if he had put her there himself, and Wufei approaches the looming vastness of his mobile suit with reverence and relief, "Nataku, I've found you."

Not that he would ever admit to anything as plebian as relief, mind you. But now that he's achieved his goal, he can focus on whatever comes next.


iv. crewmates
[It is only after many attempts that Wufei grudgingly answers the profferred questions. If he is to live and work here, to achieve this mission, one supposes it simply can't be helped.

Tell me a little about yourself.
]
I am Chang Wufei, of the L5 Colony Cluster, pilot of the Gundam Nataku ne Altron.

[Are you a LEADER or a FOLLOWER?]
I work alone.

Just as Chang is backing away to give himself more space to run for momentum, a four-legged robot manages to speed past him and easily makes the jump. It then turns around to face him, turning his screenface into one that's sticking a tongue out.

"Come on, slowpoke! You can go faster than this!"

Hermes v1 | Fortuna

[personal profile] somuchshipping 2022-10-08 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Where Angels Fear To Tread

[One moment, Hermes was in his computer game. The next, talking to someone apparently from the real world. The next, he's in the actual real world. Hermes looks around in wonder... which quickly dissolves into an expression of mundanity. Huh. Hermes didn't realize that the real world could actually look as mundane as a location within his computer game. He quickly shakes off his disappointment and bounds up to the nearest person.]

SoAreYou ARealPerson!? I'veNeverMetA RealPersonBefore! I'm Hermes. Who are you?

Overclocked

[You, Hermes, and the small group you've formed have been progressing slowly but surely. When you come to a bridgeless chasm above a river of coolant, Hermes wastes no time bursting forth and easily jumping over it with ease. Little four-legged robot can be very speedy it seems. Another person attempts to humpo over, but doesn't quite make it, only managing to grup using their hands. They're struggling, and Hermes can easily help them up, but he seems to be only opting to watch the person struggle with an amused exression on his TV screen of a face.]

The Shipyard

[When you and your group, including Hermes, manages to make it to the outer edges, everyone stares in awe of the scenery and ships. Suddenly Hermes gasps and bolts towards a particular ship.]

Wow! It's my ship!

[Hermes blinks, the implications finally reaching him.]

Wait... does this mean I agreed to get myself pirated?

Crewmates

[Tell me a little about yourself.]

I'm Hermes v1! An AI taken from a computer game. It's called... FORTUNA! What a coincidence, right?

[Are you a LEADER or a FOLLOWER?]

I'm happy to follow the orders of others. I've never really lead anything before. I don't think I will.

[What is your best feature?]

My speed! And my ability to ship! And my skill at giving out tutorials! And how cool I am!

[ Unfortunately, a coversation with Heero Yuy is of questionable value in the 'talk to a real person' department. If one even gets enough words out of him to rate as a conversation at all.

The young man's drawn scowl and severe eyes are softened somewhat by his surprise and confusion at seeing a sentient TV screen? monitor? some kind of robot? bounding up to him with great enthusiasm. It's different enough to pull his attention away from the crackling metallic skies of their new home base.

Is he a real person? Who is he? These are all excellent philosophical questions. Maybe this is a test? Heero stares. ]

The Doctor | Doctor Who

[personal profile] funnylittleclown 2022-10-08 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
1 - Overclocked

Happy under the breath little snickers proceeded the Doctor's appearance around the coil of a transistor.

"Fascinating. That's like a giant circuit board. Oh and there is a cooling fan... shouldn't get to close to that."

Looking one way and then the other like a child let loose and unsupervised in a candy store the Doctor only came to a stop when he reached the edge of a river. This was not just any river of course but a stream filled with coolant.

"Mmm... there seems to be no way to get across that. Unless, yes see, there are some wires down that way. We might be able to use them like a bridge."


2 - Skeletons in the Closet

There was something resembling a bed which the Doctor couldn't resist flopping into, just to test it out. He wasn't lost... even if he was... the journey was more than half the fun!

"There must have been a crew on this ship at some point. Either that or guests. Those maintenance robots wouldn't need a bed like this."

An uncomfortable metal bed with no padding. Well, there must have been some sort of mattress at one point but it like the crew had long since disappeared.
"I wonder if they left anything behind. Spread out and look around?"


3 - The Shipyard

Here too was a myriad of interesting things that the Doctor simply couldn't resist looking into. He would pop into one ship and pop out the back hatchway of another. They were all very interesting and unique, many with designs he had never seen before.

He may have even invited himself into one of the ships brought by one of those on the quest. Who could tell which ships were open for viewing and which belonged to some one else without going inside and having a poke around?

Eventually he found what he had been really searching for. It was small, likely the smallest ship in the hanger on the outside, worn blue, and had a sign that proclaimed it as a Police Public Call Box even when it wasn't.

"Ah, there you are! I knew you had to be around here some where."

He took a moment to fiddle around in his pockets for the key.


4 - Hot Crewmates in your Area

[ The Doctor tried for his best most charming of smiles but in the end it came out a bit goofy and childish... This was fine. ]

Hello, I'm the Doctor.

Asking whether I'm a leader or a follower is a rather subjective thing, I think. I prefer to think of myself as an adventurer. My friends and I often traveled to other worlds and while they are not here with me now I'm looking forward to see what all we might discover out there.

My best feature is... well I suppose I had better just show you.

[ He took a moment to fish into his pockets and pull out a recorder. Anyone still listening to this message was in for a rousing melody of 'Row, Row, Row, your Boat!'. This may not have actually been his best feature... ]

Harlock glances over when he heard the soft thud of a Time Lord landing on a mattress-less cot. "This looks like the kind of rooms you'd find on a remote mining platform or patrol ships." the man noted, indirectly agreeing with The Doctor's assessment as he gently brush the dust off a table that seem to be made entirely of rust.

"Agree. If I can find my ship, we can use the lab to analyze anything we find here - might tell us who was here." And long this place actually had been left unused.

Tsunayoshi Sawada | Katekyou Hitman Reborn

[personal profile] theskyaccepts 2022-10-08 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[1 - Start the Day off With a Scream]

[Tsuna wasn't sure what he was going to get into when he signed up for this but this, truly, wasn't it.

He starts things off a little too close to an edge and only just managed to catch his balance. Unfortunately in that process, he gets a good look at the drop and that's enough to have him screaming as he throws himself on to the ground. He doesn't necessarily have a fear of heights anymore, but he doesn't like surprises.

Eventually, he gets up the courage to look around and take in the sights, which does not improve his mood.]


Hieee, what were they thinking? What kind of place is this?


[3 - Space is Big]

[The shipyard is incredible.

Tsuna has never seen anything like it. The closest he can get is the mecha anime he's watched over the years, but that is nothing compared to this. All the ships and robots and there's a small part of him that really wants to see a giant robot?

Still, he's a little intimidated, and a little lost. Can he really just pick a ship? That seems like it might be kind of lonely.

How does he even choose?

For now, he just sticks by a kiosk, looking through the ships and the possibility of help.]


So, uh, where do I start?

[4 - Swipe Right?]

[The picture, is appropriately enough, not a flattering one of Tsuna. It looks like a combination of him freaking out after being surprised by a robot and also having tripped on some wires. The expression of someone aware they are about to hit the ground, surprise shifting to more surprise just before the moment of impact.]

Why'd they have to pick that one...

Uh, anyway, I'm Tsunayoshi Sawada, from Namimori, Japan.

I guess I'm a LEADER, but I'd rather just be friends with everyone. My friends seem to think I do a good job though.

Kind of half to, in the ma-- [redacted]

Don't really know what my best feature is. I guess I'm good at video games?


[Hopefully that's enough to satisfy the computer that's been yelling at him.]

Harlock | Space Pirate Captain Harlock (78 anime)/Leiji-verse

[personal profile] freearcadia 2022-10-08 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
2. Looks like a dead man's party
This was far from the only time he had been in long-abandoned places. Harlock moves carefully through the spaces, scanning it with his one good eye, the cramped spaces is somewhat familiar, as he moves through the dust, searching for anything that survived, anything that could give them more of an idea of what's going on.

"Either it's been hundreds of years since someone has been in here, or some kind of time dilation effect occurred." The man wondered out loud.

3. Who Moved My Ship?

Harlock was damned glad to see the Arcadia once more, having been growing increasingly concerned for it. He gently stroked the side of the blue spaceship as it's airlock seem to automatically open, lowering a ramp down to him. About an hour after he enters, he exits with a stormy expression on his face, addressing the others looking around.

"Someone entered my ship and rearranged things, you will want to take a thorough inspection of your own to make sure thing vital is missing." The pirate captain cautions.

4. Swiping left for 'This is stupid'

This is absurd, but he knows he'll probably need to access the network so he just give a sigh and fill out the questionnaire. The picture that accompanied it was a rare moment of the captain jerking back as the edge of his cloak got caught on something.

UN: ArcadiaCaptain
Tell me a little about yourself I am Harlock - Captain of the Pirate Space Battleship the Arcadia. My flag of bone stands for freedom and the willingness to fight for that.

Are you a LEADER or a FOLLOWER I do consider myself more of a leader than a follower.

What is your best feature? My integrity.

"Are you sayin it's smaller in here cause time got bigger?"

Iseul is a little worried about it getting even smaller than this. He's having to duck through doorways already, being over nine feet tall standing. This is kinda boring for an adventure, too, not even any fighting in it.

EDI | Mass Effect

[personal profile] machina_ex_luna 2022-10-08 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
1: Bug in the Computer
EDI's mobile platform is, unexpectedly, transported separately from the larger mass of her primary processor. It's an interesting view, and she takes her time wandering, examining with interest the function and form of the massive computer in which she has been placed.

But if she sees someone in distress, well. There's no reason not to help, of course; she can always come back later. She's very friendly, and for all her mechanical appearance is very different indeed from the blunt and square-edged machines all around them.


2: Skeletons in the Closet
Tonk, tonk, tonk, tonk... Meta feet make her (eventual, delayed) passage through the more organic-friendly hallways obvious. EDI's body might have been built for infiltration, human-shaped as it is, but she is making no effort to conceal herself. Indeed she is, with considerable patience, mapping the turns, twists, and crossroads of these corridors; she seems otherwise unhurried, perfectly at-ease.

"Hello," She is a shining silver figure amongst all the ferrous dust and corroded years. EDI smiles at you, "Do you require assistance?"

3: Skipper's in the Wardroom
Meanwhile, the rest of EDI is parked in the shipyard. The Normandy SR-2, as the name on the side of the ship proclaims, is an enormous stealth-frigate painted in silver, blue and black. Despite its low profile, it stretches over two hundred meters of the shipyard, sleek and avian and (unlike many of the vessels present) humming with nascent life.

Not human life, not organic in any case, but the FTL core, and the power generators are all online, and the airlock is closed. EDI is not merely a humanoid robot, the largest part of herself is embodied in the ship itself. She is the Normandy, and the Normandy is her.

And anyone who approaches the ship, is probably going to eventually have to deal with that.


4: Crewmates in your Area
[Tell me a little about yourself.]
I am the Enhanced Defense Intelligence, an Artificial Intelligence originating from the human Systems Alliance. My friends prefer to call me "EDI".

[Are you a LEADER or a FOLLOWER?]
At current time, I prefer to follow.

[What is your best feature?]
I have many excellent features. For example, I am equipped with an FTL drive of significantly higher range than the norm, and my processors are capable of executing trillions of requests simultaneously. However, my best feature is clearly

My eyes.

[After calming down, and making sure Arcadia and it's secret crewmember was unharmed by interior rearrangement, Harlock went to see what other ships were docked.

It's not quite the same, but this avian-like ship felt like it has life - that it's living like his own ship. He walks around it, curious but respectful not approaching too close]

I wonder what's your story...

Pioneer 10 | 17776

[personal profile] pioneer10 2022-10-08 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
III. Shipyard
Pioneer 10 is an American space probe, launched in 1972 and weighing 260 kilograms, that completed the first mission to the planet Jupiter. Thereafter, she became the first of five artificial objects to achieve the escape velocity needed to leave the Solar System. And then, many centuries later, she was given new life by the vagaries of just how damn big space is, and how long forever can be.

And then she woke up. And now she's here.

No part of that existence, not the launch, the mission, the endless years, the dust and vast void, the emptiness of it all ever prepared her to be here. On the ground. In a shipyard. The Pioneer 10 space probe, back in gravity again. What a day.

At least they gave her a little computer-interface to work with, so she isn't completely mute.

"Hello?" She's used to patience, but... this is a whole other ballgame, "Anybody want to explain why I'm in here? I'm not built for this. Literally."

Such is life.


IV. Hot Crewmates in Your Area
Alright, well. I'm Pioneer 10, call me Ten. I'm a space probe launched by NASA in the United States of America... on Earth. This is a lot to take in.

[She considers that statement for a moment. No, no that's fair. It's a lot. Statement stands.]

I guess I'm a leader? Somebody has to do it. I'm not really sure how to answer that one, it's not exactly relevant to how I operate.

[She has the feeling, somehow, that that answer is going to bite her in the ass. Perhaps literally, given the circumstances. God, is this what it's like to miss JUICE? She's missing Juice. That's novel, at least. Gross.

Wait, could JUICE possibly hear this? Only one way to find out:

I would say my best feature is that I have good taste in sports franchises. Unlike some people.

"Oh, hello!"

The Doctor popped out of something that vaguely resembled a TIE fighter if those had six fanned wings instead of only the two and were painted a bright neon green. Whoever had built this type of ship wanted to be SEEN!

"Now you do look vaguely familiar. Could we possibly have met some where before?"

1. Flying Is Probably Cheating

[ It takes Carol a moment to gain her bearings, but gain them she does. The scale of the construct is beyond anything she has seen before, but she is no stranger to the idea of artifice vast enough for humans to live in. Not just architecture, but precision engineering purpose built for... something which demanded this sheer scale. ]

The Chateau de Tiffauges was enough to deconstruct the world. I wonder what requires a megastructure the size of a planet?

[ Here comes the little girl, seemingly ignorant to the danger present in simply being in this place. Perhaps because she is floating several feet off the ground, far enough from the naked circuitry and red hot wires that they don't pose any immediate threat to her. ]

If I had the time I would love to take this all apart, see what makes it tick...

[ She is holding her chin, deep in thought, thinking out loud as though there was no audience for her thoughts. As someone who spent centuries trying to take apart every single thing on planet Earth in order to understand it all, the prospect of being able to do it all again on the cosmic scale is certainly enticing.

But maybe somebody should get her to focus on their more immediate problems? An obstacle even a flying alchemist should probably pay attention to? Your own character in trouble? Or maybe she just needs to stop being so weird. ]



2. It's Like Trying To Access The Office Intranet

[ Everything organic is gone. If there was life here at one point there certainly isn't now. There are bed frames built into the walls but no beds, the bedding had rotted away completely.

No hope of a mid hike snack, then.

Now back to walking around on the ground like a normal girl, Carol is continuing her investigation of SUPERBIA. Historical analysis and archeology is not quite in her wheelhouse compared to brute forcing her way to understanding the physical makeup of things, but understanding is understanding, and it's not like she needs to start deconstructing a door to figure out how it works.

So she is now considering what probably used to be a computer terminal of some kind, giving it a small kick after pressing a bunch of buttons didn't quite work. ]


If the microchips have completely degenerated then there's no point to any of this, but if it's just some wiring that needs replacing then I can probably do something about that.

[ She looks up from her thoughts at the only other living thing in the area. ]

Do you have anything made of rubber?

4. Hot Crewmates In Your Area

[ But not like that, she looks 11 and she's not ready to show her sick transformation yet. She's not about that Tinder life.

But she still has to answer the questions to proceed, so here we go: ]


Tell me a little about yourself.
Carol Malus Dienheim. Alchemist.

Leone Abbacchio | JJBA: Vento Aureo

[personal profile] riproduzione 2022-10-08 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
i. overclocked.
[ When he'd agreed to this, what he'd find on the other end was as much a mystery to him as when he'd agreed to Polpo's test. Comparatively, that test feels like a breeze compared to this — unreal and mechanical looking structures surround him. Focusing for a second, a soft whirring and a click; a robotic-looking figure emerges beside him, roughly his height and build with a featureless face. There's no need for him to bring Moody Blues out here, but it's a welcome relief that he's able to do so all the same.

He wanders, aimlessly at first, follows after odd little robots in the hopes that they may lead somewhere, ultimately proving to be a fruitless endeavour in the end as they lead him to a ledge that drops into darkness. The next thing he should do is find someone and make a real attempt to get their bearings. Traversing carefully, he keeps an eye out for any movement that can't be attributed to those robots, and maybe that's how he spots you before he calls out. ]


Hey, wait!

ii. skeletons.
[ Things start to look different the further in he gets, more like something he'd see in one of those sci-fi movies — which makes sense, he supposes. It's a strange thing to experience, as the structures built up around him slowly become smaller, and smaller until they're more appropriate for his size. Idly, he wonders if they'll get smaller if he keeps going.

It looks like the space was intended as living quarters, habitable most definitely, but a cursory glance doesn't reveal whether they were actually lived in. ]


Wonder how long it's been since someone was here…

[ He trails a finger lightly across a nearby counter of sorts, leaving a smooth line through the thick layer of dust gathered on its surface. ]

iii. shipyard.
[ The shipyard is a sight to behold, and yet Abbacchio is lingering near a large window, pre-occupied with the view outside. It's like nothing he's ever seen before, printed images in magazines or textbooks come nowhere close to capturing this — stars glittering in every direction for as far as his eyes can see, rocks and other detritus lost in space slowly drifting by. He stands quietly contemplating for a while, before he's pulled away by another Privateer, perhaps.

Exploring the shipyard itself is fascinating, if all a bit overwhelming with just how much choice there is. Abbacchio can be found meandering through the yard, sometimes alone or with that purple figure, reading through information on ships he's stopped by or inspecting them from a safe and careful distance with curiosity on his face. Eventually, he'll make his way over to the kiosks, muttering to himself as he does. ]


This is a lot of decisions to expect one person to make so suddenly.

iv. crewmates.
[ After failing several times to actually get a handle on how the device works, and then trying to ignore the persistent pop-ups so that he could change the awful picture that the device has of him, he finally relents and taps out rather blunt and to the point answers. ]

Tell me a little about yourself: Name's Abbacchio. What else is there to tell?
Are you a LEADER or a FOLLOWER: Following is easier.
What is your best feature: Do we really have to answer this? I don't know… My investigative skills?

[ Dust, as it is commonly understood, is mostly made of dead skin cells, hair, and all the little fragments of things accumulated and shed by the living blown into some corner by the wind.

This is not dust as it is commonly understood. There simply isn't enough alive in this place. ]


How long does it take for wood and paper and cotton to completely disintegrate into this?

[ The young looking girl tilts her head at the dust on Abbacchio's finger. Rhetorical question, she doesn't expect any layman to know, but Carol Malus Dienheim who has spent centuries analysing every earthly material does: ]

Too long. Nothing has been through here for centuries.

Cal Kestis | Star Wars (Jedi Fallen Order)

[personal profile] touching 2022-10-08 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I. teamwork makes the dream work
Cal's job the for the last half-decade was to free climb through mile+ long defunct spaceships and set up the safety rigging for other scrappers to follow (or to just place the demolition charges, but that's less relevant here), so any time he meets another climber having some trouble he either offers to spot them at the first sign of slipping or requests that they help him locate scrap metal so he can weld foot and fingerholds into the more impassable sheer drops with the handheld welding torch he brought with him. He's got a shock of red hair, damp at the temples from the exertion of getting as far out of the belly of the beast as he has so far, and scuffed up clothes that look a little like he's been dutifully washing them and putting them right back on for the last five years. Which he has been, because the Scrapper's Guild does not pay well anymore. His face has a smattering of scars and a smearing of soot from his work, but he still manages to somehow look both a touch skittish and determinedly friendly, and he stands at a pretty generally average height for a human man.

He also, notably, has an explorer droid that's a little over a foot tall riding on his shoulders who occasionally flits ahead on tiny little propulsors and comes back with detailed holo-maps to help them locate the best route out to more survivable spaces. Cal seems to be trying to be pretty outgoing on his own, but he's got nothing on the excitable little droid, who keeps up a frequent stream of beeps and boops and blats (in droid binary, for anyone who speaks it), scuttling around and scanning everything that moves—including any Privateers the two of them happen to come across.

"Beedee—" Cal interjects as soon as he notices that there's someone on the receiving end of his droid's bright blue scanning sweeps, smiling apologetically as the droid stops with a beep that sounds somehow distinctly whiny. "Sorry, he's just curious." And if they seem willing to talk: "I'm Cal, he's BD-1. Are you trying to get out of here too?" (Who knows? Maybe some people are supposed to be down here.)
II. the dust has feelings, actually
Anyone wandering through what might have once been sleeping quarters can follow a series of beeps and trills, and the low murmur of an answering voice. Further investigation reveals Cal crouched over one of those precious few remaining items, his little droid walking in a curious circuit around him and throwing out scans. Cal reaches to touch it, searching for its history through the Force, looking for the emotion of the last living thing to touch it but finding... emptiness instead.

"I don't know, buddy, there's nothing left in the echo. It's too old. Older than the Zeffo, I think." He sighs, stands up and brushes off the knees of his pants, oblivious. "Even the Force doesn't hold onto stuff forever." The droid lets out a staticky bwee! at the same time Cal turns towards whoever might have overheard him, looking like a deer in the headlights (or a more appropriate space creature in setting-appropriate-vehicle lights) for a moment. "Oh. Uh, hi."
IV. bumble for pirates
Cal's unflattering candid picture is mostly of BD-1 peering at the camera up-close and curious, with Cal actively sneezing into the crook of his own arm in the background. Lovely.

Tell me a little about yourself.
I'm Cal Kestis. I was a scrapper, but there doesn't really seem to be a market for that here, so I'm also a decent mechanic. And BD-1 says he'd be willing to help us out on the search too. He's an explorer droid, I should mention that. He says "hi".

Are you a LEADER or a FOLLOWER?
I don't know. I guess I don't really want to be in charge of anything, but I prefer decision making by committee.

What is your best feature?
I'm good at finding stuff. That's gotta count for something here, right?
WILDCARD
If you have something else in mind that doesn't fit any of those starters, go ahead and throw it at me, I'm flexible! Alternatively if you'd like to plot something else first hit me up by PM or at Cris#4369 on Discord.

Kanan is making fairly good time in his attempt to get somewhere less precarious. Although he can't see, the smell of coolant and the heat alone are motivation enough to find somewhere objectively safer. He's been listening for others, ready to help, but the trill of binary is the first unusual sound he's heard. He pauses to determine the type of droid when he hears someone speak.

"It's fine. I'm used to more cantankerous droids."

He flashes a wry half-smile.

"Kanan. And yeah I'm looking for somewhere a little less deadly."

2.

[Exploring the strange recesses of this place was a girl in what appeared to be a black bunny suit and a strange headpiece. Despite her relatively youthful appearance and human appearance, she was in fact a very wizened and otherworldly alien and one who took a great interest in the strange state of the world around her. She could be seen carefully examining bits and pieces of the superstructure and taking mental notes as she did. Eventually, she would stop, taking stock of what she had found, and looked at anyone who may be nearby before speaking.]

You. [She said with some authority.]What do you make of all this?

3.

[Mefilas was in rough shape after having been mussed a bit by her adventure through this strange place, and it was beginning to wear on her already short nerves. But upon finding a certain spacecraft her eyes lit up like it was Christmas morning. This was, in fact, the same craft she had captained during her attempt to conquer the earth half a century or so ago in human reckoning. Why it was here, or how it had gotten there in the first place, were not things she thought at first, instead with some glee looking over the ship as the first positive thing that had happened to her today.

This inside was a mess, but some lesser being could clean that up. A fact that she would offer to anyone nearby.]

Well, you should get a broom and pan and help me clean up this place.

4.

Tell me a little about yourself.

I am Meflias, an alien and future ruler of Earth.

Are you a LEADER or a FOLLOWER?

I am no mere leader...I am a CONQUERER!

I've been told my headpiece is quite cute.

He looked up from the round hole in the floorboards he had been peering through to the circuitry below. It was all housed in protective casings but it was interesting to him nevertheless.

"Me?"

Who else. He appeared to be the only other one here.

"I think..."

The Doctor tottered over, staring intently at the ceilings and walls he passed until he finally focused on the girl standing right before him.

"That this is a very large ship."

Hat Kid | A Hat in Time

[personal profile] hattersgonnahat 2022-10-08 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[3 - Shipyard]

[Ah, there it is. The best ship there ever was. Made with a wooden exterior and with all the comforts of home, unlike all of the other metal monstrosities all around and presently docked. The nerve of some people...]

[She checked around on all sides for any dents, scratches, paint chipping; who knows what condition it could be in when her own transportation had been a rough one. It wasn't long till she could see from inside the window that things had been...tossed around a bit. Luckily most of the stuff was already bolted down pretty well, but there was more than a dozen pillows scattered about. Don't even want to think what a state the kitchen was in right now. Or some of the other rooms for that matter.]


--Oh no [Then there was also the vault on one of the walls. It was still nicely shut, but with turbulence like that...] No no no!

[She climbed back inside the ship through a little glass hatch on the window. Leapt over some of junk on the floor and got over the the vault door to fiddle with the combination. Just a peek should be enough. If anything had been shattered inside...well, she wouldn't be leaving any time soon.]


[4 - Hot Crewmates in Your Area]

[Once the kid was finally some distance away from the worst planet she's even been on (and that might be saying something), and procrastinating to clean up the rest of the mess all over, now was as any of a good time to check out this communication device she was given. A little surprised by the instant popup...one of those irritating ads most likely. You'd think such an advanced AI or whatever would know a thing or two about spyware. But she couldn't make it leave so, sure, fine.]

Tell me a little about yourself.
I'm a space traveling adventurer! ✨✨

Are you a LEADER or a FOLLOWER?
Well a follower has to do whatever someone else says, and a leader has to set boring trends and stuff. So maybe I'm neither??

What is your best feature?
My hat! 🎩


[There, it seemed to be working now.]

Hats are very important. I'm missing mine and my head feels far too bare walking around like this.

Quintet || Nature of Nature's Art

[personal profile] quintet 2022-10-08 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
i. Computer Mouse
Wandering the silicon maze through walls of steel and copper, Quintet is rather less noticeable than most. Low to the ground, quiet, and possessed of a fine sense of personal space... You might be forgiven for not noticing the quiet passage of a domestic cat through the many valleys and catwalks of SUPERBIA.

But if she sees you, she'll likely break cover to come up and say, "Hey, guy! You have any idea which was the way out of here?"

Every ship, even this massive monster, needs a Ship's Cat. And why wouldn't she talk, I ask you?


iii. shipyard.
Likewise does she wander through the shipyard. Whatever she'd expected from the offer made, this wasn't it. A couple of times, Quintet makes the leap up onto a wing, or walks accross the window of a cockpit, but mostly... well, she's tired.

So she finds somewhere warm, and curls up for a nap. Don't step on her, alright?


iv. network
[Tell me a little about yourself.]
My name is Quintet, and I'm a recent graduate of the college. I'm an artist and I have a lot of oceanic Styles, and I want to— wanted to be in the rationale.

But instead I'm here to find a treasure, and... that's about it, I guess?

[Are you a LEADER or a FOLLOWER?]
What kind of question is that? A follower, I guess? Or maybe a leader? It depends.

[What is your best feature?]
My metanoia, probably. It's difficult to explain in simple terms; it has to do with Halo Brain theory. I can demonstrate.


It's not a flattering picture

Hermes was busy speeding his way through the computer-innard landscape when he suddenly noticed someone address him. He instantly halts, skidding a good distance across the floor. He walks over to a more comfortable distance, his metal feet pattering on the floor.

"I actually have no idea. I just picked a direction and stuck with it mostly." The screen containing his face offers a playful tongue sticking out as he says that.

Overlord Zetta | Makai Kingdom

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2022-10-08 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I. Oddly adorable, huh?

Hey! HEY! HEY!!!!

[What's making all this noise? At first it seems to be one of those maintenance robots, if an oddly-shaped one... but after further appraisal, the noise is in fact coming from what it's carrying: a remarkably large red book, which appears to be.... quivering in righteous indignation?]

Put me down! I'm an Overlord, you idiot! I'm not baggage! I don't consent to this!

II. Super Battleship Yoshitsuna is here!

[With a commanding gaze, a book surveys the seemingly endless number of ships filling the yard -- and doesn't appear to be happy doing so. Its scowl is practically visible from anywhere within the semi-enclosed space.]

Too small. Too stupid-looking. Too small. Too red. Not red enough. Too wussy-looking. Definitely inadequate. Too small. Not phallic enough. Too small. Too square. Probably copyrighted.

[The litany of complaints goes on and on, until at last the Overlord groans, slumping in exhausted dismay. None of these ships seem satisfactory! None of them are worthy of an Overlord, or at least, not an Overlord as awesome as he is! And he could try to program one, sure, but how could even this shipyard keep up with his imagination?]

[Then it occurs to Zetta... just what, exactly, is he standing on? (Or rather, floating slightly above.) He cracks open one eye, to appraise what actually isn't a platform... what is instead a very long section of a very long ship...]


Hya... Hyaaaha ha ha ha ha! This is it! This is perfect!

III. Netherworld Recruiting Agency

Tell us a little bit about yourself: I'm Zetta, the most badass freaking Overlord in the entire cosmos! Serving under me is a privilege extended to few demons in existence, but this is your chance to get in on the ground floor with supreme power by becoming my loyal minion! I --

Are you a leader or a follower? -- hey! I wasn't done talking yet! How dare you interrup--

What is your best feature? --iece of junk! I'll rip you apart! I--

[What was going on other there? The robots had been pretty silent thus far so it couldn't be one of them. Or maybe it was?? A closer investigation towards the noise might be in order.]

[...It does appear to be one of robots. That's weird. Although it also seemed to be carrying a red book. Not so sure where it found that.]

Duo Maxwell ☠ Gundam Wing

[personal profile] braidedwonder 2022-10-09 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
o1. OVERCLOCKED
For the most part, Duo is used to cramped spaces and wheedling his way through situations. Operation Meteor’s covert ops specialist who felt more at home in a cramped space liner than free and clear on terra isn’t typically the one to be found climbing or hopping around, but he isn’t incapable, either. What does suck, in all of this, though?

That snively little thing called gravity pulling on him as he does so.

That long braid of hair has long since been wound up around the back of his head, too precious in its current condition to allow it to get too sweaty or caught on something in the midst of a climb or jump, jamming the tips of his boots in to what small foot and hand holds that he can find or getting a running jump to clear a particularly wide space. Would he prefer to be touring the place to get a good look at the inside of a computer from a bug’s view? Absolutely. But instead here he is, squatted down in a break between sheer climbs, wiping at his forehead with the cloth cuffs of his jacket, a huff of breath blown up toward his bangs.

“I really shoulda just stayed with Howie and the guys, shouldn’t I? Damn.”


o2. SKELETONS IN THE CLOSET
Common sense? Never heard of her.

Duo winds his way deeper and deeper in to the depths of Superbia little by little, of course intrigued by the smaller, flatter, less dangerous area he seems to be stumbling upon. Ever the proverbial street dog that likes looking for a little place he can call his own, he thinks it doesn’t hurt to have an area to purposefully get lost in, when push comes to shove. The cramped conditions aren’t too far removed from space craft of his time, and it doesn’t even blip his radar in the slightest. What does catch his attention is that this was definitely meant for people. Though unfurnished and definitely showing its age, he can’t help but realize that this was meant as a living quarters at some point in time.

Everything is dusty, dirty, and unlived in for a long span of time, that much is obvious, but he comes across a room that was clearly once a bunk room, the mattress long since decayed and fabric that breaks off in his hands recognizable enough. He stops in his investigations, turning ever so slightly to the door as the sound of someone coming nearer catches his attention.

“I wouldn’t try to sneak up on a guy like me if I were you.” Though Duo’s tone makes it sound like a joke… it’s very much a veiled threat.


o3. THE SHIPYARD
Eventually, Duo makes his way out of the innards and winding tunnels of the wrong way to civilization and to the shipyard.

The scrapper in him desperately wants to try his hand at every ship he can possibly lay eyes on here, to take every possibility for a joy ride just because he can, and the speed demon in Duo Maxwell has not, and will not, be tamed for as long as he manages to stay on this side of a dirt nap. His tour of the ships, earmarking ones to give a try while he’s here and, presumably, has free reign to take a look and take things for a joyride. If they come back damaged… well. It isn’t his own, right? Return it and whistle away like nothing ever happened and he didn’t break a damn thing.

That is until he catches sight of something green, white, and gold out of the corner of his eye. All at once, Duo is backing up without warning, irreverent to others possibly around or behind him, and – Yep. That’s definitely Gundam Altron. All at once Duo is turning on his heel and breaking in to a run.

Not to find Chang Wufei, of course. (Yet.)

But if Altron is here, there’s a good chance that Deathscythe is too, and soon he spots the black mobile suit, and anyone within ear shot definitely catches his braided loudmouth as he yells out.

“Deathscythe ol’ buddy ol’ pal!”


o4. BISEXUAL DISASTERS IN YOUR AREA

[ In this edition of gundam pilots offering useless answers : ]

Tell me a little about yourself.
Name’s Duo. That’s about all you gotta know.

Are you a LEADER or a FOLLOWER?
I don’t follow orders.

What is your best feature?
Definitely my hair.


o5. AND, OF COURSE, CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE
[ I’m open to prose or brackets format wise. If there are any scenarios I didn’t outline that you’d like to play, slap that starter up there or message me here\hit me up with a pp on plurk [personal profile] goblinrex and let’s plot! :) ]

[personal profile] crystalmaster 2022-10-09 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
Radley is having an utter meltdown at being inside a computer, and he's only minimally comforted by getting away from the electricity. This is just creepy, and wrong, and when Duo speaks, he nearly jumps out of his skin.

"Trust me, I wasn't trying to sneak up on you!" he retorts. "I'm trying to get out of here!"

Asajj Ventress | Star Wars: Clone Wars

[personal profile] darkassassin 2022-10-09 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
Overclocked

If she were a bit more suspicious, she'd suspect this was all a titanic hoax. The sheer scale of it would be daunting, if she allowed herself such an emotion. But she didn't do that, anymore. Her first instinct is to gain height, but even with her Force powers, there are plenty of ways that are impassable. And dangerous, besides.

So someone's playing quite the game with them, it seems. The useless little robots aren't any help - not that they ever are - but she can keep moving, flitting from shadow to shadow. She'll find her way out.

Survival is what she does.

Skeletons In the Closet

She wonders, as she moves deeper into what feel in many ways like catacombs, if she and the others she has seen are the first ones there in centuries. The dust on some things is absurd, some rooms feel nearly choking, filled with dust and time. Clearly someone had lived there, at some point.

She crouches, picking up a fragment of something that used to be...well, something. It literally falls to dust at her touch, as she rises again.

She's seen bunkers like this. The places made for the lost, the desperate. Places of last resort. And that is definitely what this place feels like, to her. The place where something came to an end.

A people, a ship full of survivors - this was a place of terrible endings.

Shipyard

Well, well well.

What a turn of events this was. She knows people who would have razed planets to control a power such as this. The enormous machines can simply print entire ships out - component by component. She'd heard of such ideas, but never seen them.

That being said, while this is a place of great potential advantage - it raises her guard even further. This is the perfect sort of place for an ambush. And so while she works at one of the consoles, to see what she can create. A small, lithe fighter is her first instinct - but there's things like that around here, aren't there? No, time to look for something that could function as a long-term living arrangement...because she needs to get away from this place.

Shipyard

[personal profile] somuchshipping 2022-10-09 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
Clank, clank, clank, clank... clank, clank, clank, clank.

The sound of metal-on-ship-platform footsteps should be quite familiar to one that has worked with robots, but this one is likely Asajj has never seen before. Hermes just casually strolls up next to her and peeks at the ship she's creating.

"Hmmm, that looks nice so far! Buuuuut... I think I've got a ship that needs a captain. My ship, I mean."

mcgillis fareed | ms gundam: iron blooded orphans

[personal profile] wresting 2022-10-09 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
i. skeletons in the closet
( that McGillis is in possession of common sense and sound reason is... entirely context dependent, actually, but the belly of the beast as it were is difficult — and dangerous — to navigate. once he stumbles upon the more hospitable rooms and paths of SUPERBIA, McGillis can't be faulted for the spirit of curiosity or the conclusion that a people safe exit must exist.

...somewhere. until he and his companion find said exit, though: )
Fascinating, isn't it. ( being taller than most of the airlock doors, McGillis ducks to enter the next room. sooner or later, his head is striking metal. ) We aren't the first SUPERBIA recruited. ( inside, McGillis walks a pace or two before pausing, hand on his hip. his smile is humorous. ) Perhaps we've made a mistake, chasing Fortuna.

( idle chatter, reflective of their new odds. McGillis is no less game than before. )


ii. insert shipping joke aka the shipyard
( this is the equivalent of a car rental — except, you know, for ships — and being a serious, reasonable man in this context, McGillis isn't settling for the first ship he sees.

in a comfortable enough seat, leg over leg, McGillis consults a datapad from one of the many kiosks about the shipyard. he's of a certain mind — mobile suits, including his own Grimgerde — among a few other specifications, all of which depend on things like SUPERBIA's capabilities, the caliber of pilot available, and where one ought to begin to investigate Fortuna.

to whatever companion that has withstood waiting this long: )
Will you be joining me? ( he asks, attention fixt on the datapad. )


iii. hot crewmates in ur area xoxo
( like most people, McGillis would prefer to skip the "complete your profile" part of acquiring a ship. like those same people, McGillis finds he must relent. transcribed audio to text and paired with a pfp best captioned as man hears knees pop for the first time: )

Tell me a little about yourself.
My name is McGillis Fareed. I believe anything else is irrelevant in the pursuit of Fortuna. We are all equal and if we chose, may begin anew.

Are you a LEADER or a FOLLOWER?
A leader.

What is your best feature?
( McGillis considers this one for a moment. ) Tenacity.


iv. choose ur own adventure etc
( ooc | some quick hits!

mcg has a subject sensitive background that may crop up in meta, so please, opt out here if necessary. i'm open to wildcard options and prefer brackets but am amenable to prose. feel free to pp me @ [plurk.com profile] gjallarhorn to hash stuff out, altho i offer blanket permission to assume mcg and ur character have already exchanged introductions. )

You don't believe that.

[ Carol has just met McGillis, but that much is obvious. Nothing in his demeanour suggests that he's discouraged. But then again, Carol's confidence hasn't wavered either so in that sense they're similar. ]

If it were so easy to find the greatest treasure in the universe it wouldn't be the greatest treasure in the universe.

[ Slight pause for effect. ]

And if you didn't think you a little more special, more capable than everyone else you wouldn't agree to this absurd contract either, unless you were truly desperate.

bruno bucciarati / jojo's bizarre adventure

[personal profile] unfastens 2022-10-09 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
i. OVERCLOCKED

[ he can't say he's ever had to traverse what amounts to pits of lava and high-voltage death fields - but, as it so happens, he's very well-equipped to do so. It takes him a moment to get his bearings. How could it not? A moment ago, he was in Rome, blind and deaf and barely aware of what was going on. Now... He won't pretend he entirely understands, but he'd at least received an explanation, and his body has been coaxed back into working. He can get up to his feet, and when he opens his eyes, he can see. The fact that what he sees is beyond anything he might have imagined is not important, even though it frightens him at first. This is where he was taken, so this must be where he's supposed to be. A trial, perhaps - one he must overcome.

So be it.

It's his intention to get to the end of this maze (whether that's the center or the outer edge doesn't particularly matter as long as he hits an exit), but old habits die hard. Bucciarati's Stand makes it easy for him to move through the hazardous landscape, or at least most parts of it; however, that's not the case for everybody. None of the trauma or suffering he went through managed to iron out his bleeding heart. This particular path leads to a dead end, at least for any regular folks on foot; however, get stuck there now, and one will hear a voice calling out from above. ]


Do you need a hand?

[ it is... a man's head, poking out of a hole about 40 feet up the wall. A hole that looks suspiciously like an open zipper. ]

iii. SHIPYARD

Are they going to give us instruction manuals?

[ he's been wandering around and admiring the ships for a little while; anyone else in the area might have spotted him idling previously, either by his lonesome or accompanied by a tall man in a dark coat. It's hard to miss a man in a spotted suit. For the moment, he's on his own, one hand to the shiny silver chassis of the ship he's currently in front of. ]

I imagine it has to be more complicated than driving a car or steering a ship.

[ two things he apparently has more confidence in. ]

[personal profile] bingboom 2022-10-09 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
[On one hand, he doesn't sweat, which is great because wet dog smell is terrible for business and no one will ever take him seriously if he even tries to sell anything in this hellhole he fell in. On the other, he doesn't sweat, which means he's just overheating like a whining dog in his three-piece suit and way too much fur, clearly not made for such a hot environment.

This is it. This is how he's going to die, roasted in a metal volcano without a single Nightium to h---

There's a freaking head up against the wall. He's definitely on his way to hell.]


Fu--- You talk?

Avanti Kadam | Original Character | We made our own Gundam Timeline and ran a FATE campaign in it

[personal profile] she_would 2022-10-09 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
-1: Overclocked-

Captain Avanti Kadam was getting too old for this shit.

That's what she thought as she puffed her way up a ramp that was part of her detour that was part of a larger detour that was part of a LARGER detour around a sheer cliff face she felt totally unprepared to climb.

She stopped at the top of the ramp to catch her breath, then looked around and saw that to continue this way she would have to navigate a field of sparking capacitors. The air smelled of ozone, and she was pretty sure that continuing on this path was a sure fire way to get electrocuted fatally.

"I see today is continuing with a general theme."

-3: The Shipyard-

FINALLY they made it to something that made sense.

Or rather, it didn't make sense, but it didn't make sense in a way she was prepared to accept. The massive shipyard was full of stranger and stranger looking ships, but her own ship, the one that had exploded (Almost with her on it. Her missing eye twinged.). The Osiris, a brick of an attack carrier that was decades out of date, but built tough enough to weather all but the most determined assaults.

She walked along the gantry holding the ship in place, then reached out with one hand to touch it and make sure it was real.

"How's that old saying go? 'Rule out the impossible and whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.' Or some such...But how can we rule out anything as impossible now?"

-4: Hot Crewmates In Your Area-

Tell us a little about yourself.
Captain Avanti Kadam. I've been in command of various ships for the last thirty years or so, and I dare say I feel more comfortable in space than I do down in the gravity well. I can't say I've ever been anywhere like this before, so if you feel like you're in familiar territory here, I may need to pick your brains at some point.

Are you a LEADER or a FOLLOWER?
I certainly feel more comfortable forging my own path than following someone else's, and hardly any of my command posts were destroyed so I must have been doing something right.

What is your best feature?
Could it be my ice cold calm under pressure? Or my roguish good looks? Perhaps my brilliant mind?

No, I think it's that I'm 188cm tall and can reach the top shelf without difficulty.

Yeeoooowch!! It's hot, hot, hot!!

[A loud howl echoes in the unfortunately scorching surroundings, even as Hachi pants heavily like a dog as he bristles in the heat. He tugs at the collar of his shirt as he trudges through the terrain, looking worse for wear, clearly not used to the unforgiving temperature even as he whines.]

Who even designed this place? I want to talk to the manager! Hey, you.

[Yes you, the guy he just happens to train his eyes on, and who he makes a beeline for almost immediately.]

Hey, you know where the exit is? Fur ain't made for this kind of environment, you know? I'm dying here. You're willing to help a poor guy out, right? Right?

| skeletons in your closet |
[Once he's finally gotten out of that environment, overheated and looking a little worse for wear (because really, they don't sweat. It's hell.), Hachi can be found just lying down in the middle of the hallway, panting.

He's still half dog, after all. Someone give him some water, please.]

| shipyard |
Now this is what I'm here for. Too bad Gin's not here to see this.

[Now that he's freed himself from the hellhole and recovered little of his dignity, Hachi looks a lot more like himself. Sleek, white suit patted down, hair brushed back into its original shape, and the sharp canine grin that's hard to miss even from afar.

He's also, you know, entering other people's ships. Because he can.]


Hey, so-- Are you the captain here? Got room for a tourist? I want to see how you fly this thing.

That's me, the captain!

[ Grin to grin, it's hard to beat a crocodile. There's a whole rhyme about it and everything. Iseul hasn't flown a ship before but c'mon how hard can it be.

He is actively looking at the manual on the comms but he seems very confident about all the buttons he is pressing. Ignition, nice! The whirring boot up sound of a spaceship is pretty satisfying. ]

betelgeuseblast: (regarding the terror group Holy Grail)

Iseul Orion | Tabletop OC

[personal profile] betelgeuseblast 2022-10-09 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
Overclocked

All right, Iseul is not what you would call a delicate kind of guy but he is not thrilled by the idea of walking into crackling zappy stuff. He's done it before in this armor and it sucks. He'll do it if he has to but if he doesn't then he's not gonna, nope. At this point, he's working with a choice of progress between a route he's not squeezing through without an extensive zapping and one that's got a big crevasse in the middle. Orrr retracing his steps until he hits another choice of options. He's looking at the other side, speculatively.

"I could get us over there, buuuut I bet you won't like it."

He's not ditching someone in the middle of all this, even if they're strangers. Every being for themselves isn't his style. He definitely does want to show off, also. That's a definite factor from the whole of his being.

Build A Boat

Given that Iseul has some uncommon physical specs, he's elected to go custom. He's tilting his head at a kiosk, deliberating.

"Awriiiight, boats! Armor, size, speed... I got two of those myself, I dunno if I don't like either of 'em... But what do I like enough to want a whole lot of it in a space car? I do like great big fireballs. Airirang'd get bored, not doing any fireballs itself in a fight, and that's the last thing I wanna deal with."

The alien creature fused into him gets real stroppy when it doesn't get enrichment in its mortal enclosure. They have reached an accord for the sake of Iseul's mental health and also the physical health of everyone in bolting range.

"...Hey, I could get a pool!"

Hot Crewmates

Eyyy its a quiz, Iseul loves him a quiz. Like the ones that tell you what kinda pancake topping you are - maybe this tone of thought is why his profile picture has so many pictures of him at the pancake house in various phases of drunk, battleworn, and/or eating a stack of pancakes as tall as a human toddler.

Tell me a little about yourself. Iseul Orion, I got blended up with some weird junk from space and I wanna know more about where this stuff comes from! And I wanna see a star up close, we don't got em where I'm from! ☆ミ

Are you a LEADER or a FOLLOWER? I'm great at following! Unless there's something heavy in the way and then I can follow in front and bust through it :V

What is your best feature? Willpower!! If I wanna do something than I get it done! (I know I'm crazy hot but it's what's on the inside that counts.)

Jun reluctantly decided it was too big a gap to build an atma bridge across before acknowledging Iseul.

Radley | Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds

[personal profile] crystalmaster 2022-10-09 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
1. Overclocking

To find himself inside a mammoth computer, with the possibility of death by electricity everywhere and from all directions, is more than enough to immediately start melting poor Radley's brain and self-control. It wasn't long ago at all that he suffered in his rival's mine, tortured by electricity. The thought of facing it again is too horrible to stand. He starts out physically shaking, and if you happen to be near him, he may reach out and grab you by the shoulders and start shaking you too.

"What is this?! Why are we inside a lifesize computer?! How the hell are we going to get out of here without being fried to death first?!"

3. The Shipyard

Getting out of the computer improves Radley's mood tremendously. He's fascinated by all the ships, and for a time he just wanders among them, staring in awe and running his hands over their smooth surfaces. When he finds the kiosk to customize his own, he's like a kid in a candy store. He loves machinery and being in control and soon is designing a ship that bears some resemblance to a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. He is going to have one slick ship.

4. Hot Crewmates in Your Area

Radley gets on his ship as soon as it's ready, and after exploring every corner, he soon tries to access the nearest communication device. He is annoyed to be stalled by the survey, but he answers it. Since he's annoyed, however, and doesn't realize what it's for, he answers a little differently than he might if he understood.

Tell me a little about yourself.

My name is Radley, chickie baby. Who are you?

Are you a LEADER or a FOLLOWER?

I am a leader all the way. Back home I'm the leader of the Radley Bunch. I also run the town diner and the dyne mine.

What is your best feature?

Hmmm. Just one best feature? I know I'm handsome. People were falling all over themselves to be with me at home. But I'm also good at planning and strategy. I won't lead my crew with reckless abandon. And I'm loyal. I won't leave anyone behind if we're in a tough spot.

When the app pops up and he realizes what he just did was to make some kind of dating (??!!) profile, he cringes in mortification. "Oh gosh...." He wouldn't have made those cracks if he'd known this was going to be public everywhere! He isn't above vain jokes, but he doesn't post them online like this in personals ads. Only now he has.

If anyone responds to him anyway, perhaps focusing on the positives in what he wrote, they'll find he's really quite nice, and nowhere as worldly as he made himself sound.

Linhardt von Hevring | Fire Emblem: 3 Houses - Silver Snow

[personal profile] sleepfan 2022-10-09 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)

I. Overclocked


[Linhardt stands in the middle of the metal building - (it is metal, isn't it? Mostly? He recognizes some of the materials such as the copper lines running along the walls, but most of them are a mystery) - and marvels. Or at least he does until he's hit with a blast of heat so warm that it burns his hands.

Perhaps he should move. A simple healing spell takes care of his hands, but as Linhardt wanders, he's beginning to realize that his assertion to his friends not to worry, that he could find his way out if this odd entity proved to be malicious... might have been in error. It's hotter here than in Ailell, and there's not only no visible exit, but when Linhardt closes his eyes and tries to feel out the terrain with his magical senses, he finds nothing.

'Don't panic. Panic is not helpful.' But he wants to panic. No. No panicking. Panic later. Thinking now.

The building is hot and full of metal.

Solid metal.

Do these strange metals melt like the ones that Linhardt is familiar with? He's not sure, but he does know the melting point of copper, and some basic mental math confirms that if there wasn't some sort of way to release the heat, the copper would have already melted. So even if there isn't an exit door, the heat has to be let out somewhere.

So follow the heat rivers?

Linhardt falls in next to one of the coolant streams, following it with a single-minded focus until he feels another person. It's weird - their life energy is glaringly obvious in this environment since there are no animals or plant life to obscure it.

He frowns and weighs the pros and cons of speaking. This person might have some more idea about what's going on or how this place works. On the other hand, it would mean talking to someone. A stranger.

It would be wrong to ignore them, wouldn't it? Linhardt sighs and then turns a corner with his hands raised in the universal gesture of 'not a threat' (with his luck, it's going to be Hubert and he's going to be murdered on the spot).]


I think the way out is this way.

[But he's not sure. He's only about 60% certain, and those are not good enough odds. Please know more. It's hot, and while his healing magic keeps kicking in to soothe the hyperthermia, it's also draining his energy at the same time.]

Do you know what this place is?

3. Shipyard


[Linahrdt doesn't go over to the ships right away. In fact, the mage seems ill-inclined to pilot any of the ships at all in the beginning. Instead, he's parked himself in front of one of the kiosks and absolutely refuses to move. He's too busy playing with the ship design mechanics and trying out strange, edge case combinations.

Is there a use to a ship with propulsion only on one side that can only fly in circles? No, but there's one in the shipyard now. A ship with ejectable oxygen generators to reduce mass? No (at least not if the residents need to breathe).

About 85 to 90 percent of the ships he's creating are complete trash: They don't fly, or are missing key components. It turns out that people from medieval era societies, no matter how intelligent they are, are terrible at the practical part of spaceship design. But the process and what it reveals are fascinating. Linhardt's experimentations quickly show size and armor come at the expense of speed. If they're looking for something, surely speed is the correct choice?

And if it's small enough, maybe he could practice enough to warp the ship. He can teleport groups of a few hundred people and animals, and he wouldn't need armor if he can teleport it? The main problem is that the ships are made of dead material. A secondary problem is that Linhardt's magic works on the scale of meters - not millions of kilometers. Still, he can always figure that out later, so Linhardt sets about making a ship that's as small and fast as possible. He completely eliminates putting any weaponry on the ship in order to reduce mass, and he's used to working out of traveling camps so working in the same room he does everything else is fine. Cozy, even.

Once he's finally created a spaceship he wants to try to fly (after dozens of junk machines), Linhardt runs into another problem: He's far too cowardly to test his own ship. The entire process tells him that he does not know enough to be doing this. Not without months of reading, and handicapping himself that way in a race is unacceptable.

He frowns and finally steps away from the kiosk, opting instead to go stare at someone getting ready to take out their spaceship for a flight. Linhardt has zero manners, he doesn't even hide that he's watching and observing. He even pulls out a piece of.. parchment. He's using parchment, an ink vial, and an honest to god quill to take notes on the preparation process.]


Why are you doing that?

[Existing in public is an invitation to be studied, isn't it?]

4. The Network


[He doesn't mind answering the questions, although Linhardt is mildly annoyed at there being any roadblocks to using the device. Having no idea what this is or what the questions are for, he just assumes that answering questions is necessary? Somehow?]

Tell me a little about yourself.

I'm a magical researcher.

[One sentence. If they wanted more, they should have said 'tell me a lot about yourself'.]

Are you a LEADER or a FOLLOWER?

That depends on whether there's anyone around worth following.

What is your best feature?

Physically? I've statistically gotten the most compliments on my complexion?

[That's a weird question to ask.]

( McGillis, in turn, is consulting a datapad as he interfaces with one of the ship's maintenance robots. they're very cute, the maintenance robots, but McGillis's manner suggests he neither cares nor finds them any different than computers relying on voice activation. he utters a list of numbers and letters, designation, followed by a set of commands. the robot wheels to task, beeping and booping along the way.

Inspection. SUPERBIA is uniquely generous, but the cost appears to come with a few quirks. ( nevermind some of their fellow privateers like to joyride... )
