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!

[he's not paying any real mind to the people passing by, except to yell at them when they get caught staring at him. he's not quite getting the hint that VI programs aren't supposed to be quite this opinionated, but then when does alpha ever get any hints?

though when some dude in freelancer armor walks up and his little AI starts talking to him, that catches his attention] Do I look like I'm fucking lost? No. Get lost. I've had enough Freelancers today, thanks.

[noscope]

[and cue theta already deflating. (if ai could deflate, that is, but the thought of it alone is depressing enough considering just who it is.)

north knows more than he should about ai trying to pass themselves off as vi on this station, just for the simple fact that he's been trying to get theta to act a little .. less independent just so they don't draw attention, but when this drone starts in on him like that, he can't help but to scowl inside his helmet.

excuse you.

meanwhile, theta doesn't stop trying.] I was just trying to be helpful! You don't have to be mean about it.

[and that makes north scowl even harder.] Hey, lighten up, will you? Aren't VI supposed to be nicer than this?

[pause. wait for it.

there it is.] Wait a minute. What do you know about Freelancers?

[it only took him half a second to realize what was off.

and they say he's the more observant one.]

[boomotherfucker]

[alpha really doesn't care, because he's probably the worlds biggest dick. but if he had eyes, he'd be rolling them right now.] Well I don't need help. Least of all from some guy's AI. Last time I followed the advice I got from one I ended up in a really shitty situation.

[and then he turns to north, and lets out an irritated grunt] Maybe they are but I'm not a fucking VI, asshole. No one asked you.

[...welp.] I know they're all dicks.

[noscope]

[of course he doesn't care. not that north would know that, but just on principle, he can't help the way his eyes are narrowing behind his visor. he doesn't know what this thing is, doesn't know where he comes from or why he knows about freelancers, and he doesn't like the thought of where any of that is going.

he doesn't like anything about this situation, but there isn't anything he can do about it.

while theta seems like he wants to shrink further and further away from the drone, it doesn't keep him from talking - even if it sounds a little shaky at this point.] But .. that's .. that's what I'm here for! T-to help! .. North, I'm helpful, right?

[okay alpha you're really going to get it if you make his ai any more upset than he already is. the fact that north isn't being spoke to with any measure of respect doesn't make this any easier.] Oh, we're all dicks, huh? Sounds like you have a personal problem that needs to be worked out.

[pause.] Who are you?
