TEST DRIVE MEME
Welcome to the
outsiders test drive meme! You can use this post to tag with characters you're interested in bringing to the game or who you'd like to try out in the setting.



Please set all threads in one of three areas: the landing zone, where your character get off the shuttle upon arrival; the markets, where your character might run into any of the station's alien population; or in the residential district they'll be staying in.
φ Please give the name and canon of your character in the subject line! OCs (including Mass Effect OCs) and AUs are welcome.
φ You may use threads from this post as a log sample, so long as it has at least 5 of your comments in action tags or prose.
φ If you app in later, you can keep CR from this meme if both players agree to it OOCly, and so long as you keep interactions to these starting areas.
φ Apps and reserves and are always open! Our next processing round runs from 4/20 through 4/26.
φ You can find more information on our setting here, and our navigation is here!

agent texas | fuschia versus aquamarine | landing pad | ota
a vehicle full of aliens, ones she hadn't seen before and had no data on, but that didn't mean much, in a sim. it was already pissing her off, just being here. usually she had a short brief, but not this time.
so instead, she stalked over to the first person who looked like they might be answer her questions, raising a hand to try to shove their shoulder. ]
Spit it out, buddy. Where the hell am I, and what the hell do I need to do to get out of here?
8)
Whoa -- Jesus, Tex? Is that you?
who are you
Yeah, who the hell else wears black armor? [ bow chicka bow. ] I have no idea who you are, for the record.
u know B)
Haha, uh, yeah, I guess you'd know me as a guy, wouldn't you? Look, I know you're probably not gonna believe me, but I'm York.
miss new booty?
Tex's head doesn't move, just stays tilted in that same position. ]
Right. You're Agent York, and I'm the leader of the Covenant. You really think I'd fall for something like that?
more like miss big booty HEYOOOOOO no idek
What, you wanna see my dogtags? Here.
[ She digs them out from underneath her shirt, pulling them up over her head and dangling them out in offering to Tex, one eye cocked. ]
I get it, it's weird, so I've just got two words for you: alternate timelines.
throw my hands up in the ayer sometimes
ah, but changing that "m" to an "f" would have left some marks. she stares at them a little longer before letting go, folding her arms. ]
Alternate timelines? Sounds like a bunch of scientist crap.
no subject
had to check the date on yo log for this
The fight with Agents Maine and Wyoming, how'd that end?
no worries :D
Like shit, that's how. C'mon, you remember -- I was just trynna give you a hand, but you weren't havin' any of it. And then that big brutish asshole chucked a grenade a little too close to my face.
[ She smooths her hand over her intact left eye, out of habit. ]
'Course, and here's where it gets unbelievable, but I got that thing fixed on the last wacky space station I was trapped on. But hey, keep the questions comin', Tex. I got your answers.
no subject
No. Either you are York, for some reason sporting a set of breasts, which explains a lot, or you're a really ballsy imposter who's not going to get anything from me.
[ her way of saying she still doesn't entirely trust her. ]
So, spill, what the hell's going on?
no subject
whatever. onto more important issues. ]
Uh, the short version? For some big cosmic reason nobody goddamn understands, you got yanked here from your timeline, your universe, into this one, along with a bunch of other unlucky sons of bitches, yours truly included. Now we're all kinda stuck here, visitors in somebody else's universe, trynna get by.
one purple sniper coming up.
because having only himself and carolina from the same universe while their supposed teammates are from some other one? he'd really like to know that he hasn't gone insane, that the world hasn't ended, and that texas stays the same no matter what universe.
he approaches her carefully, because the last time he'd seen her, she and carolina had pretty much been at each other's throats - but that, of course, had been on the mission to bring ct back, and since it had failed ..
he doesn't know how to do this other than to simply open his mouth and start.] .. Tex? What are you doing here?
chinhands
Agent North.
[ her tone is clipped, irritated. she places a hand on one hip, cocking it out. ]
I'm trying to figure out where the hell I am and why. You got any useful information, or should I start in on the locals instead?
c:
he can't help but to straighten his posture when she calls him agent, because he hasn't heard that specific term since he'd first found himself here.
well .. he has a little bit of information for her, at the very least.] You're on a space station called Omega. As for why you're here, exactly, I can't tell you. I don't know, myself.
no subject
Good of them to drop us into this without giving us so much as a map.
[ not that she needs it, but they usually at least get a destination brief. and yes, it's obvious she still thinks it's a sim. ]
Any clues why they sent us here?
no subject
though .. he does have to snort at that.] There's a map of the station on your omni-tool.
[north. north don't make it worse north..] That's something else I've been trying to figure out. I honestly have no idea.
no subject
[ She knows she has the omni tool, the thing is visible on her wrist but she assumed it was some kind of tracking device. Instead, she raises her wrist, and like it knows that's what she wants, it springs to life. Her head moves back. ]
Fancy.
[ She looks back at North, lowering her arm. ]
You got dropped here before me?
excuse me it's orange vs green get it right
[ Anything else he was going to say dies right on his lips. It's been a long damn time since he heard that voice, and even if he knows who she (isn't) is, it still gets to him. ]
Allison.
crimson versus navy
wash isn't supposed to know that name. not at all. ]
That's Agent Texas to you, asshole. [ sorry now she's not really happy to see you, Wash. ]
turquoise vs fucshia
No, he's not blond.If nothing else, the gray in his hair and the lines on his brow tend to make the difference clear between him and whatever alternate universes are out there. ]Tex.
I take it you just got here.
we already used fuschia you lose
Does the fact that I haven't been briefed on this confirm that enough for you?
not sorry
so he had left it in a pile on the floor of the shuttle, much to the bewilderment of the people he got shuttled in with, and magically procured more reasonable dress by the time tex grabbed him. ]
Whoa, there! Tex? Try some manners, lady!
[ maybe he should have kept his armor on after all ]
you better not be mister
I don't use manners on strangers that know my name.
[ The helmet glances down, the helmet glances up. ]
What are you wearing?
