April Test Drive Meme

If you are planning to app to the game, please read this page and vote in the poll!


S.S. Panic

Test Drive Meme


A quick rundown
Welcome to the S.S. Panic's Test Drive Meme! Here, you can post a top level post and/or respond to other characters in a variety of situations! As you will find if you glance at the map, the ship is a spider-shaped city that is essentially self-sustaining. It's powered by the Infinite Improbability Drive, which when in use allows for the improbable (and impossible!) to happen and become, well, possible!

Below, you will find an example of what a typical monthly job post will look like. To encourage tagging each other, characters who apply to the game after this test drive meme will earn 100 credits per tag they give to someone else. Considering that new refugees are only given a small amount of money to get them started (around 500 credits), this could be huge!

Normally, job posts (currently empty) will be posted on the last day of the month. Characters can begin working the jobs they sign up for on the 1st of the next month. These jobs will be posted early for the Test Drive Meme and can be considered the official jobs of the month.

For now, all jobs will be the lowest paying jobs at Level 5. As the months go on, Level 4, 3, 2 and 1 jobs will be added appropriately. All characters will begin at Level 5 except in very special, rare situations. Keep in mind that some jobs will remain a constant in job postings (Education, for example) while others will change monthly. Also, players may hire other characters themselves in the future through hiring page. Ordinarily, some jobs will have limited slots, but for the purposes of the Test Drive Meme, all jobs come equipped with unlimited slots.

Finally, if you choose to, you can make whatever happens during the Test Drive Meme game canon if you apply and you are accepted into the game. However, this is not required and if you don't want it to be canon but the players of your character's new CR do and vice versa, this is space with wormholes and the IID. Multiple instances of your character is possible, at least for this month.

If you have questions about how the game works, you can look at the gameplay page or post a question to the FAQ page. Remember, you don't have to post your character doing a job. You can have them arguing about the Babelfish, going shopping, having a fist fight with an alien, etc. The important thing is to have fun!

Brittany Susan Pierce | Glee*

[personal profile] stoptheviolence 2016-04-06 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
I have a feeling I'm not in outer space anymore.

[Brittany looked...lost.]

[Of course, that tended to be a natural state for her, so anybody who knew her would just assume she was her usual self. For anyone not yet made aware, however, the teenaged girl would be quite the sight. She'd already rejected the babelfish initially offered to her, claiming it would totally clash with the one already inside her head--(clearly, the officers hadn't been expecting that answer, and were left too stunned to do more than watch her wander off)--and was currently gripping a rather...uniquely designed, freshly laundered towel in hand.]

[Not too long after making her initial statement, however, she caught a glimpse out of a nearby window, and saw stars.]


...okay, I take it back.

[Except...and she was way more sure of this part...she was so not on the S.S. Thor anymore. She knew that, because she'd already gotten lost on that ship in every conceivable way possible. Twice. This placed looked absolutely nothing like any of those random hallways. Which could only mean one thing:]

Wait.

Am I finally going to get to sleep in a bedroom with a door?



((ooc notes: Brittany comes from the very end of Season 1, but--as I was told it would be okay for now for the TD--with several years' worth of gargleblasted memories as well. Because memories and nostalgia and...most importantly...shenanigans.))
aquabro: (Hmm..)

Because you knew this was coming

[personal profile] aquabro 2016-04-06 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ Being brought to a ship, being sent home, being brought to another ship, somehow he already felt like he was growing used to this. Despite how... what's the word, asterous heavy on the dis, as his friend Robin would say, all of this was, he wasn't going to just sit around and let things happen. He already had a list of things in his head he wanted to do.

First and foremost, while searching for his team, he would make sure to memorize the layout of this new ship. He started walking around making mental notes here and there until he noticed a familiar person. No, but that couldn't be....
]

Brittany?
stoptheviolence: (pic#7284143)

I did and there are no regrets

[personal profile] stoptheviolence 2016-04-07 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
[That voice.]

[Brittany had always been pretty good at three things: fashion, cats, singing, and dancing. But voices were close enough to the singing part that it wasn't hard for her to recognize one, even if it had been, like years since she'd last heard him.]

[...well, okay, it hadn't been years. Months, at most, maybe, but it certain had felt like years.]

[So much so that, when she first turned towards the sound, her eyes were wide and mouth slightly open in a partial disbelief.]


Kal?

[She let out a half-laugh, half exclamation. Wanting to smile but kind of a little afraid. So, before she said anything, she closed the distance between them in the span of a few seconds and...reached out with a single finger to poke him. In one of his well-defined biceps she'd missed so much. Specifically on the area where she knew his tattoos would glow if and when he ever activated them again, kind of so hoping he would because she loved the way he looked when--]

[Oh, but that wasn't the point, was it? The point was, her finger actually his solid (very solid) flesh!]


Oh my gosh, you are real!
aquabro: (Today is **THE** day)

<3!

[personal profile] aquabro 2016-04-07 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
[ He chuckled softly when he felt Brittany poke at him, or rather his chest. Yes, this was definitely the Brittany he knew and remembered. There was no doubt about that. He seemed rather relieved to find that out. He let her continue poking him without pushing away her hand and gave her a small smile. ]

I am relieved to see you are doing well, and it seems you answered my question too.
stoptheviolence: (pic#7284148)

[personal profile] stoptheviolence 2016-04-07 12:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[He would only have to withstand the poking for a few more seconds before she was convinced enough to throw her arms around him, letting out a small squeal.]

This totally makes up for getting re-kidnapped by aliens again!

[A few seconds later, still holding pretty tightly, his words caught up to her and she pulled back just enough to look him in the eye curiously.]

What question?
urnotafraid: (braids and bling)

[personal profile] urnotafraid 2016-04-06 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
[The smell of his cologne proceeds him. As does the way people just sort of try to slide out of his way because he might be a skinny Japanese guy in a big white coat, but he was also a skinny Japanese guy in a big white coat that doesn't cover the vast amount of guns strapped to his sides. But he doesn't seem to be in a particularly bad mood, only in a grumpy mood, one that fades when he sees Brittany.]

Brittany, you're stuck here too now?

[Be careful, he's going to hug her.]
stoptheviolence: (pic#7284065)

[personal profile] stoptheviolence 2016-04-07 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Umm, you say that like she isn't going to hug him first!]

Sho! [Aand there it is, running over to the skinny Japanese guy and unabashedly throwing her arms around him.] Ugh, I'm so happy you're lost with me.

This is only slightly more confusing than that time Rikku and I took those Viagra pills.

[...but only slightly.]
urnotafraid: (hey bby)

[personal profile] urnotafraid 2016-04-07 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Skinny Japanese guy will laugh and lift her up to give her a light spin around because it's not everyday you find a long lost friend still being lost in space.]

I'm so happy that you're lost with me too. It makes it so much easier to figure out how to get unlost with a friend.
stoptheviolence: (pic#7284197)

[personal profile] stoptheviolence 2016-04-07 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Long lost friend will laugh as she's twirled around.]

Really? [...are you sure you're talking about the right friend here?] 'cause I don't usually figure out how to get unlost. I just accidentally end up somewhere I recognize. You know. Eventually.

[personal profile] riddlingual 2016-04-06 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
[A bouncy energetic girl stood beside Brittany while looking out the window. She had never been in space before. This was definitely a huge adventure waiting to happen. She overheard Brittany talking beside her, and just couldn't help but chime in. ]

But what's more important, a room with a door or a room with a floor?
stoptheviolence: (pic#7284086)

[personal profile] stoptheviolence 2016-04-07 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Bouncy? Energetic? Girl?]

[Oh gosh it was just like being back home with the Cheerios!]


Uh, duh? [As if the answer should have been obvious.] The door. I've always been able to trust the doors on the Thor, like, most of the time, but you could never trust a floor.

It might be lava, you know.
riddlingual: (Madeline 130)

[personal profile] riddlingual 2016-04-07 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
Mhmm. Mhmm, that makes complete sense.

[ She nods along to Brittany's words. Probably one of the first people who seemed to think this girl was very logical. ]

Not to mention, doors can lead you all kids of places. Even places that aren't places.
stoptheviolence: (pic#7284115)

[personal profile] stoptheviolence 2016-04-07 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Everybody gets one?]

Not always.

Sometimes, they don't lead anywhere at all. Which is totally the worst, because how are you supposed to figure out where you are when you're not anywhere?
riddlingual: (Madeline 117)

[personal profile] riddlingual 2016-04-07 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
But even when it leads to nowhere it still leads to somewhat.
stoptheviolence: (pic#7284064)

[personal profile] stoptheviolence 2016-04-07 11:57 am (UTC)(link)
It's also not really the door's fault, I guess.

Which is why I'd prefer it over the floor. And besides, if you're not walking on any floor...that totally means you must be flying, right?

[Perfect sense, right there.]
riddlingual: (Madeline 145)

[personal profile] riddlingual 2016-04-07 01:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Unless the floor is walking for you, but either way it must be a blast.
stoptheviolence: (pic#7284084)

[personal profile] stoptheviolence 2016-04-08 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, man, I hope not.

I hate it when the hallway explodes. Everything gets so messy. And it usually ruins my hair.
riddlingual: (Madeline 157)

[personal profile] riddlingual 2016-04-08 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
Really? I love it when things explode!

[She giggles. ]
stoptheviolence: (pic#7284101)

[personal profile] stoptheviolence 2016-04-08 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Brittany was only a fan of one kind of explosion, and it wasn't the kind most people could see directly....]

Why?
riddlingual: (Madeline 112)

[personal profile] riddlingual 2016-04-08 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Why? Because they're absolutely maddening!
stoptheviolence: (pic#7284281)

[personal profile] stoptheviolence 2016-04-08 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
I don't like it when people and things get mad at me, though.

There's too much yelling. And sometimes people are naked, but not in the fun way.

[Or maybe that was just the people she surrounded herself with.]
riddlingual: (Madeline 125)

[personal profile] riddlingual 2016-04-08 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
Oh no not that mad. I mean the [ She starts doing that crazy hand thing. ] coo coo kind! It's fun!
stoptheviolence: (pic#7284227)

[personal profile] stoptheviolence 2016-04-08 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
...coo coo?

[For cocoa puffs?]

Like the clock?
riddlingual: (Madeline 157)

[personal profile] riddlingual 2016-04-08 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
Like clocks that tock and birds that chirp!
stoptheviolence: (pic#7284174)

[personal profile] stoptheviolence 2016-04-08 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
But what about the clocks that tick?

Don't you think that's being a little clock-ist?
