TEST DRIVE: JULY

[webroketime]

Test Drive

Welcome to the test drive for Time Trapped. This is an open forum to test out your characters to see how they would fit into the game and if you might be interested in apping them here. We want you to feel comfortable and, of course, test drive threads can be used as samples on your application to join.

First, a few housekeeping things before we start:

  ∞For the moment apps are open continuously, however that may change once there is a larger playerbase.

  ∞Both first and third person prompts are allowed in the test drive. We encourage both. We also encourage making multiple prompt options in your post.

  ∞Finally, you will be allowed to transfer your test drive threads over into the game canon should you apply and be accepted.

  ∞If you have any other questions please feel free to refer to the FAQ or contact the mods directly.

Aside from that, happy test driving.

Instructions:

Prompts

   1. Acclimating to the environment
While Gideon has a part of the area sectioned off for now based on her calculations of where the time anomalies are going to occur the area is still large and confusing. It’s easy for a person to get lost or overwhelmed in this big mish-mosh of a world. Perhaps you are lost, or maybe you are just settling in.


   2. Reach out and touch someone
Gideon has been kind enough to provide you with a way to communicate. Whether that be a device or a simple SIM card. Why not try it out by sending a public message. Of course, you could also be sending it by accident.


   3. Make peace, not war
While LA has become a hodgepodge of different times it has also become a hodgepodge of different areas as well. Exploring the downtown LA brings you to a section of Greenwich Village in New York. Unfortunately what was once a peaceful protest has grown into a fight between Mogul hordes and peace loving hippies who just want to protest. Local enforcement is, of course, trying to sort out this mess but it seems they might need a bit of outside help.


   4. What's this strange building?
The 'Hall of Justice' stands in a sorry state as nature is trying to overtake it. Vines are crawling up the walls and there is Dimetrodon sunbathing in the courtyard, or what's left of it. Inside, any technology seems to have been destroyed and there is no sign of life. Still, it is a ruin left to be explored and the local archaeological society is willing to pay good money for relics from inside. Be warned that there may still be some rather nasty traps active inside and around the hall. If you happen to be a from the DC world you might see a few familiar faces among the broken statues that once adorned this building.


   5. Let’s dance
The Verdant. A rousing nightclub in 'bad neighborhood' of what was once Starling City circa 2013. There seems to be a wide variety of patrons here tonight, anything from Greek Scholars to some Greasers. What a great place to grab something to drink or maybe cause a little trouble.


   6. Dressing in style
Perhaps you arrived in less than ideal clothing. You may have arrived in no clothing at all. It might just be about time to look through some clothing stores and find what is right for you. Of course, it’s never that easy though. There are pickpockets and thieves all over the streets. You may just become their next victim.


   7. Wild Card. Go nuts.

excuses the BFA canon being infused

[not_the_question]

[He looks a bit horrified at that thought.]

Well, there are only a few universes where parallel versions of my planet exist. And to my knowledge so far, we don't exist in alternate universes.

[In other words, it would be terrible.]

Usually a giant implosion only happens if you meet yourself. Or an earlier or later version of yourself and you try to rewrite your own history.

No worries

[justanitgirl]

Thankfully I don't plan to do that.

[She has nothing to rewrite. Well, something, but that's not really something she'd be able to change.]

But I could still meet an alternate version of myself. Which, seems disconcerting, but at least it won't implode time or anything.

[not_the_question]

Yes. For now. People say that often until they realize that they can in fact rewrite their history and try to do it.

[Sorry, he's just not impressed with humanity, nor does he expect people to hold to their promises of not changing things.]

Well, it could. It just less likely is all.

[justanitgirl]

[She's not going to argue. Mostly because he's The Doctor. She knows, however, that she wouldn't change her past; even the bad parts of it. Her past is what made her the person she is today and she's kinda proud of that person and enjoys the life she has.]

Anything particularly avoidable?

[not_the_question]

Well, I'd like to avoid being stuck here any longer than necessary for a start.

[He's now looking around them and has distracted himself.]

Oh, you mean about meeting other versions of yourself. Really, best not to meet yourself, it can be quite embarrassing.
