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!

Re: PVT. LEONARD CHURCH [ALPHA] | RED VS. BLUE | LANDING ZONE

[ Doesn't matter how long it's been since he's heard that voice. Doesn't matter where it's coming from, either, or that it's loud enough that he hears it just going past the landing zone. There's never going to be a time he does't react.

It's not Epsilon. There's no question of that. For someone else, it might not have been so easy to tell the difference, but Wash isn't someone else.

He steps out into the zone, eyes settling on the drone, and tries to swallow the lump in his throat. ]

Alpha.

[boomotherfucker]

[since he'd just heard that voice not too long ago, it's not hard to pin it down. but the fact that he uses that fucking name instead of the one he'd vastly prefer, he's already off to a bad start.

so when the floating orb speeds on over to pulse at him in irritation, it shouldn't be a surprise] Would you knock it off with that 'Alpha' bullshit? How many times do we have to-

[wait. wait. wait. what the hell] -dude, what the fuck happened to your armor?

[articletwelve]

[ This is the part where Wash thinks back to the conversation he had with Epsilon on the same topic. He has a funny feeling that Alpha won't take the knowledge he's been replaced any more easily. ]

...Long story.

[ YEAH LET'S JUST SKIP THAT. And move on to more important things. ]

What happened to you?

[boomotherfucker]

[good call. replaced by epsilon and wash? he's probably going to be pissed.

but the parts of his drone...body that spin are spinning pretty damn fast, and he's still moving pretty erratically]

Do I look like I have a fucking clue? One minute we were in that base and now I'm here! Floating around! What the hell happened, Wash?!

[articletwelve]

[ welp. Yeah, this is Alpha, all right. If only he could get away with "long story" twice.

Explanations later, though. Right now he just wants information. ]

So-- wait, you were activated in that thing?

[boomotherfucker]

[yeah no dice buddy. we'll revisit the new paint job later.]

I wasn't activated in anything! Where the hell is my body? Floating around is cool and all but I want my goddamn arms back.

[articletwelve]

Of course you do.

[ siiiiiiiiigh. Doesn't matter what universe he's in: the second Alpha shows up, the second the bitching starts. ]

Look. You're stuck here, all right? We all are. You probably just got moved into a mobile platform.

[ or. something. ]
