Test Drive #2

I saw a flower, furrow, and brook

New TDMers are free to RP here as if "new" or "established;"
"new" is likely easier to keep in continuity after apping.

When gameplay begins, the second wave will have
their own intro plot and crash log!

CREATURES IN THE DARK

Far away from the city, the wall of light that is F.A.T.E.S. seems calm, glowing peacefully. You’re on an evening walk through the city, or maybe on a camping trip in the woods, or maybe on a romantic date on the beach; whatever it is, you’re outdoors, enjoying the apparent peace and quiet, for once.

That is, until you hear a noise. It’s a rustle, or a step, a branch breaking underfoot, a heavier sound than a human would make. And that’s when you find yourself faced with one of the many Xistentia critters: the Green Backed Bison. She's massive, with small horns and a broad, mossy back, a small calf at her side. She does not appear to want to charge you^[1], but that might change, depending on what you decide to do! Either approach it, run away, or go into aggressive mode; how will you react to being introduced to the incredible fauna of Xistentia?

Glitch in the City

The city of Xistentia now boasts a population of over 200 sentient souls! Congratulations on surviving your apocalypse, now feel free to enjoy the city and outlying forest. Today, a number of local businesses are open, including the local tailor, our diner Pop's Chocklit Shop, and Sue's Salads. For now, the only bar and lounge is the atrium of the Citadel, the outpost overlooking the sea. It's a lovely day to be out and about.

But at midday, the rendering errors begin. New arrivals, those who came into Xistentia since the second crash find themselves subject to a bizarre phenomenon, where a holographic projection seems to be floating above their head! It contains data about the character's marital status, preferences for fun and dating activities, and pet peeves... and perhaps embarrassingly, it isn't necessarily accurate.

As your daemon will explain the glitch is easy enough to fix! You can either move 100 yards from the location where it began, or another character can remove it for you by touching the graphic.

RENDERING ERROR #285
Preferred Alias: F.A.T.E.S. McWeirdo
Marital Status: Hateboning Nemesis
Preferred Dating Activity: Creating new universes, maintaining the equilibrium of the multiverse, organizing temporal divergences/alternate universes, restoring damage inflicted by D.E.S.T.I.N.Y.
Other Enjoyable Activity: DJing music
Pet Peeves: Unfiltered tap water, gluten-fee pasta, unscheduled apocalypses

Optional Code

GAME NIGHT

At 6 p.m., your Daemon starts making noise - a software update is being installed. It lasts for a few minutes, your Daemon mainly unresponsive if you attempt to make it do anything else than upload the data F.A.T.E.S. is sending it. Afterwards, it resumes acting as normal as it did before the update, but if you ask it, your Daemon will tell you:

Upgrade was installed for entertainment and integration purposes; Hangman.exe was installed.

Launch the application, and you will be given a match against one of your fellow citizens who also decided to join the game. On your holoscreen is a rudimentary, simple game of Hangman, as well as a chat window to taunt your opponent if you so choose. However, it becomes clear that F.A.T.E.S. has no idea what she's doing... the first word is 16 letters long, and she has pre-filled in the letters Z, C, and Q.

It's a good day to complain about technology, or start a new game afresh.

CREATURES IN THE DARK;

[once upon a time going through a forest wasn't anything new for clarke but years after praimfaya or even being in eudio for a couple year prior to going back home, it felt so surreal to clarke. the world sucked, there barely anything green besides the place where she was staying with madi yet it was so real in this place that it was almost hard to believe including seeing the creatures wandering about from the distance as she walked around trying to take in her surroundings.

she brushes her hair out of her face for a moment as she moves forward, it's shorter now with a streak of red clearly visible in contrast to how it was previously for anyone who knows her and she keeps her gun close. she knows better to let her guard down so she remains cautious just in case because this place was still new to her and she didn't know how much to really trust anything here just yet]

GLITCH IN THE CITY;

Rendering Error #285

Preferred Alias: Clarke Griffin
Marital Status: It's Complicated
Preferred Dating Activity: Whatever.
Other Enjoyable Activity: See above.

[how does dating even work?? clarke doesn't even know even after years of being in eudio and this was so much more weirder than cuddlr]

WILDCARD;

[choose your own adventure!!]

[ooc; canon point is post s4! please ignore my lack of post timeskip icons right now!!]

[ murphy turns a corner on his way from the citadel back to where he's made home, booted feet kicking a little at the rubble and stray twigs as he goes, and that's when he sees her - blond hair bright against all the green and grey, something different about her than she'd been in eudio. the closer he gets, the better he can read the error message floating above her head, squinting at it. ]

Even the glitch is half Grounder speak. [ murphy thankfully hasn't gotten one yet. maybe it's just the new kids xistentia is having issues fitting in. either way, she's late. ] What'd you do, stop for snacks on the way here?

[ it's been a few weeks since the others landed, and there's something in murphy that's relieved to see her here, not crushed in the apocalypse they barely escaped in eudio, but he isn't going to be saying that out loud. ]

[ clarke wasn't too bothered by the glitch since she is actively trying to ignore it than pay attention to it. she had been keeping to herself because being on her own was something she had to get used to over the years. it hadn't occurred to her that her friends would even be here, nevermind the fact she knew it was just as much of a possibility as it was in eudio. she was still holding out hope she could see them again, if they were still alive so hearing the familiar voice catches her off guard.

she looks up and finds herself seeing murphy standing in front of her. she can't help but stare at first because she was uncertain if she was merely just seeing things] Murphy?

[his words pretty much go right over her head but from her expression she looks relieved to see him because if he was alive then that hopefully meant the others were too. clarke doesn't respond right away, instead she does something fairly uncharacteristic of herself as she moves to hug him]

[ um. clarke griffin is hugging him. um.

not like awkward, one armed, shoulder pat for the sake of polite appearances. full on clinging to his shoulders and squeezing him with her chest all up on his, smile on her face as if he hadn't ever tried to kill her friends, multiple times. ]

Uh? [ this is weird. this is really weird, and he knows he did save her life back in polis, but he got his thank you and all that, soooo? even that doesn't seem like enough for a clarke griffin hug, as sparse as those seem to be. it occurs to him, that she looked different. the way she looked different in eudio, but not that either. short hair, red, age around her features. cautiously, he hugs her back, arms looser than hers, with a shoulder pat. man, affection is fucking weird. ]

I'm missing something big, aren't I?

[clarke is fully aware how confusing it probably was for her to be hugging murphy of all people given it's something she has never done before. from her blatant dislike of him initially to barely just tolerating him during her stay in eudio, it was probably obvious by this point that her opinion of him had definitely changed.

a lot had happened since leaving eudio but despite everything and all that she has experienced over the years, she does actually consider murphy to be her friend and one of her people. it was a bit awkward even when he hugs her back but clarke takes it in stride as she pulls back, her relief over seeing him wasn't just over the fact she would be able to confirm that her mission to get them to space didn't fail but she gives him a slight apologetic look for the sudden hug] Sorry— I didn't mean to catch you off guard like that. I wasn't sure if you—

[her brow furrows slightly at his confusion and even more when it registers with her that he doesn't look different or any older like she does. he looks almost like how he did when she last saw him in eudio and that makes her stop midsentence before she reveals anything further. she doesn't know why it didn't occur to her before because knew timeline differences were practically a common occurence in eudio and she realizes it must be the same here especially with how casually murphy had approached her because she is sure he would have had questions about how she survived since she was left behind] Wait, what do you last remember?
