As is tradition, in remembrance of friends we lost in December, Test Drive is here a few days early. ♥

Tag into this post with characters you're thinking of apping to the game (characters who are not currently in-game or currently reserved by someone else). It can be just a tag, a brief EP, whatever you want. You can be new to the game, or simply want to test out a fresh pup. Tag each other with these characters or those already in game, and have fun.

Noted. Although I haven't kept with a regular crew in a long time. Always found it easier to work alone.

[ It's a lie, but a natural one, with just the right amount of truth mixed in. There's no always about it, and she's not sure it's easier so much as it is safer, emotionally speaking. Still, she's been on her own since she was sixteen, with a brief exception here, and she has no desire to change that anytime soon. ]

[there's a noncommittal hmm in response to that while he's doing some brief thinking of his own about crews and being alone]

So. What planet is this? And is there anywhere a sentient can get a decent cup of caf? I've been stuck with an antique galley for far too long.

Easy yes to the second. The locals are calling it coffee, but it's the same thing. As for the first... Well, it's a place called Darrow, and it's less of a planet, more of a black hole.

[crimsonjack]

Nicest black hole I've ever seen.

[nextchance]

There are definitely worse places to wind up stuck.

As previously discussed.

...

[the charming smirk falls at that]

What do you mean, stuck?

[nextchance]

You heard me. Once you're here, that's it. No way out. And believe me, I've tried.

[crimsonjack]

You've got to be joking, right? What kind of kriffing world doesn't have a way off?

[nextchance]

I wish I were, and I wish I knew. It's the longest I've been in one place in... well, just the longest I've ever been in one place.

[crimsonjack]

And how long is that?

[nextchance]

Coming up on... eight years.

Stars, it seems even worse to say it out loud.

[crimsonjack]

Dank farrik.

[just the idea of it is terrifying. landlocked for that long with no ship, no crew, no way out... but surely it couldn't happen to him. not to the great captain silvo]

[nextchance]

You can say that again.
