TEST DRIVE 004
Hello and welcome to the fourth test drive for Phantasmal Rift!
Test drive threads are assumed to be game canon for accepted characters unless otherwise noted, so don't feel like you'll have to introduce yourself a second time to everyone you meet! As an added bonus, participation in the test drive comes with the chance to earn up to two items of loot for your trouble! Characters who are accepted can earn one item for having a top level, and one for tagging out to someone else's top level! Your SWEET LOOT will be included with your acceptance notice.
Additionally, characters currently in game can earn themselves a piece of bonus loot for the dungeon by tagging people's top-levels on the test drive! Existing characters get their bonus loot along with the rest of their loot at the conclusion of the dungeon.
This test drive takes place in Keystone Reef, a water-influenced Fissure to the northeast of the station. It is home to numerous fish and coral species, as well as a very interesting magical effect...
OPTION ONE: FINNY FUN
Under the water is where you woke up, and under the water is where you might be stuck for a while. The magic is lodged in you and has changed your form -- maybe a little, maybe a lot. Perhaps you only have gills, but you may also have a full set of changes, fins and no feet to speak of. Don't panic, you'll surely be fine if you just keep swimming...
Aside from the strange changes, it's a pretty cool place to be. If you've ever dreamed about scuba diving on a coral reef, the place that you've found yourself is perfect for that (minus the needing to scuba part). Curious fish swim up and then dart away into rock crevices, coral growths, and even down to bury themselves in the layer of sand at the bottom. The water is also fairly shallow, allowing you to surface if you so desire.
Even the sharks are friendly and just want to have as much a look at you as you want to look at them. Don't harass the glowing eels tucked into cracks between the rocks, though, they bite and don't particularly let go.
OPTION TWO: WORLD'S SMALLEST JUNGLE
This must certainly be an oceanside jungle - in spite of the humidity, the smell of salt on the air is strong. Brilliant greens and the occasional bright flowers, accompanied by island birdsong... It could be a nice place to spend an afternoon. There's not even that many bugs that want to drink your blood (though bugs in general are, well, quite plentiful).
Eventually, though, however far you go, you'll reach the beach and be met with the expanse of the ocean - blue, uncaring, and real big. While one side of the little island thankfully has land visible in the distance, the outer side just overlooks a near-endless expanse of blue. If you're a very good swimmer, you could probably make your way to land past the rocks of the reef itself... Otherwise, though, you might be just a bit stuck on your jungle island paradise.
At least until someone brings a boat.
OPTION THREE: SHIPWRECK
Both above and below the waterline are the remains of ships crashed upon the rocks, just waiting to be explored. Even though it has clearly been an incredibly long time, the chunks of wood and metal are still in fairly good condition, and the chance of finding something nice tucked in with them among the rocks is surely tempting to anyone with an adventurous spirit.
The wrecks beneath the waves also grow coral and seaweed, and provide havens for larger fish, dragon eels, and sharks. Those along the rocks above the waterline, on the other hand, provide a home for seabirds of all varieties. Most notable is the hulking shell of a shipping craft in the distance, looking very much modern if ruined by some centuries of exposure...
For right now, though, you'd best contend with the flotsam a bit closer to you, and the wildlife that might not take too kindly to your exploring. Below the waterline, the dragon eels found in a few places don't take kindly to being disturbed; above, you might run afoul of some overprotective seabirds protecting their nests. Maybe even an invisible seagull (normal sized) - how ridiculous would that be?

B
Notably, she's dressed in a bodysuit, and... no fin. She doesn't seem to have a problem being underwater, though. ]
no subject
Oh... uh... well, a quirk is essentially a power most people have and most inherit it from either one or both of their parents when they're around the age of four.
[ He's a well of knowledge on the subject on this. Though with that said, he stops short. ]
I thought most people knew that. Unless... this really isn't anywhere I know...
no subject
[ Nono is getting progressively closer to Izuku's face with each statement, a sparkle in her eyes and excitement in her expression.
He may or may not notice that her pupils are shaped like a four-pointed star with her shoving her face that close. ]
no subject
Y-Yeah! It really is! B-Because of the combination of quirks people inherit, no quirk is quite like another and they come in all forms! From explosive sweat, being able to incite a lack of gravity, the use of electricity and even there being a quirk where someone can use fire and ice consecutively!
[ He's a big nerd on this subject, okay? ]
no subject
no subject
[ Izuku gestures to his fins which was still odd to him for the moment. Kind of making him wish he knew how to get the hang of this. ]
Normally I have legs and cant breathe underwater. My quirk is... well... it's not this.
no subject
I see, I see. But now you have a tail, which most humans don't have. Hmmmmm.
I wonder why. [ NONO THAT WAS THE QUESTION TO BEGIN WITH ]
no subject
[ Now it's really clicking that she's here with him. Underwater AND speaking to him as if it was nothing at all. ]
How are YOU able to breathe down here? O-Or even talk to me without drowning?!
1/3
2/3
FOR ALMOST. TEN SECONDS. ]
no subject
no subject
A buster... machine? Just what is that, though?
no subject
You know. Right??
no subject
Izuku's expression instantly lights up with interest as he starts putting some pieces together. Consider him rather interested tbh. ]
A hero of justice who defends the people from actual space monsters?! How do you do it?! What kinds of powers do you have?!
no subject
no subject
You really can achieve a lot through hard work and dedication. I know that much all too well, as I wouldn't be where I am without that.
[ Now back to the matter at hand... ]
Lasers and kicks? Where do the lasers come in? You said you're a machine so is there a part where the lasers come out from??
no subject
I shoot them from my hands! [ What part? The hand part, duh. ]
no subject
[ Don't mind him moving to take one of your hands to get a better look at it, Nono. He just seems so fascinated by this whole thing and finding her impossibly interesting. ]
Since you're a machine you must actually be much older than you look and there's likely a lot of strength in your legs that isn't hindered by human limits...
[ Yeah he gets this way sometimes. Oops. ]
no subject
Her hands, by the way, appear completely human. Perfect skin-feeling skin with no creases or breaks, squishy flesh, the whole nine yards. ]
Um, I'm not sure exactly how old I am? I don't remember anything before a few years ago. [ OKAY so the government people who ran all those diagnostic tests on her said some things but they weren't positive either, so she doesn't mention that. ] My legs are pretty strong though.
no subject
She might take notice that one of his hands is rather notably scarred and a bit disfigured from his other one. Not that it's been a bother, especially not now with this going on and being impeccably amazed by how realistic she felt.
How there wasn't any mechanical type breaks or anything like that in her skin, either. ]
I see. Could just be a memory reset thing or something else entirely...
[ Izuku trails off into a bit of mumbling again, only brought back when she regarded her legs. Something that had his green eyes sparkling with that interest again. ]
When we're not stuck underwater, I don't suppose you could show me just how strong they really are? I mean I can do some pretty strong kicks too but I wonder if yours really have a lot more impact.
no subject
Internal flashback to Inazuma Double Kick]Uh, okay! When we're not underwater.
[ She's floundering for a moment, but is quickly getting over having been caught off guard and is moving back into EXTREME ENTHUSIASM TERRITORY ]
Are your kicks a part of your quirk!?
no subject
At least before he recovered and gave a small nod of his head. ]
Kind of. My quirk allows me to use a lot of strength, speed, and I adopted a fighting style around using my legs since they can handle my quirk better. It's less stressful on my body that way.
a week late and a dollar short
Your quirk sounds really cool! And you can kick with those fins!? Amazing! [ NONO, NO... ]
