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:

  ∞Apps will be open as of Dec 10th at 12 AM, and will reopen on the first of every month. They will remain open until the 10th of each month before closing.

  ∞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. Home for the Holidays
Little old London town is high in festivities right now. It's Christmas and the area surrounding Big Ben is snowy, though it's a bit melty due to the climate in LA. Festive decor and foods for sale circa 1885 in england and emotions are cheery and positive. Take a horse and buggy or attend a christmas party.

Just hope the mongols don't show up. Or Amazons.

   8. Wild Card. Go nuts.

Professor? What are you doing here?

[pocket_sized]

"Might want to give him a little time. He just got married." Ray retorts to that, then reaches out to pat Bart on the shoulder.

"They'll come around."

[alittlehelpfrommyfriends]

The same thing we all are. Time lost and time stuck.

Welcome to broken 2017.

[pocket_sized]

[He has his drink, so he sits with her.]

Way to make that thought way more intense than I had anticipated.

However I could also be an malevolent James Bond style evil billionaire too.

[Beat.]

Let's stop before we jinx it.

[pocket_sized]

Yeah. It's certainly an eye opener.

Not really sure if Barry should see it though.

Maybe I should just stop mentioning it.

[kid_flash_found]

"I guess. It's not like I got to spend time with him back home." Between the way history fell out and everything. "I resented him for coming back when Max didn't, and he didn't know how to deal with having a grandkid without kids in between."

[orions_shadow]

"This Nightwing sounds cool. And see, everyone else gets a cool name but I can't even think of a good one for myself." Shadow is find, but it's more of his new first name than it is a handle. Aw well. He opens the door and walks in, taking in the very very nice newly finished lobby.

[pocket_sized]

Really Bart, so much, so much to process here.

"So... You aren't hungry by any chance, are you?" He's just gonna feed this kid now. Probably a good diversion.

[orions_shadow]

I am. On this thing. It's kinda dumb though. What are you? Some old codger from england?

[justanitgirl]

[She's about to point out that Ray is a golden retriever taken human form when she thinks about Kara. The girl is sweetness and light all rolled into one with a coating and sugar sprinkles.]

If Kara could be an evil Nazi then yeah, there could totally be an evil doppelganger Ray around somewhere.

[She holds up her hands.]

Totally done now.

[orions_shadow]

"Yeah, but I was on the east coast before I got here. One minute I'm heading to pocket D, next minute I'm here." Wait a second there, he was already traveling through dimensions when it happened... "Weird..."

[pocket_sized]

And he probably has a goatee, which... would look awful.

[Sip.]

How many people have you talked to?

[justanitgirl]

I'm currently between jobs.

[Does it really matter if she reveals anything here? It might, so she'll still keep it close to her chest.

She's giving herself a pass on Barry since the kid outted Barry before she did.]

[justanitgirl]

[She does a mental count.]

About five. Three of them weren't the usual group. One of them was a cat meta.

What about you?

[justanitgirl]

"Gideon. That's the computer lady's name. And old guy sounds a bit ominous. Did he at least give you a name?"

She's not sure she likes the idea of leaving this kid out in the wilds of this place. It's a whole lot less safe then any normal city and apparently old guys are trying to pick him up.

[pocket_sized]

Oh, a cat? Like on a scale from your every meta human, to Gorilla Grodd, how meta are we talking about?

Lets see, a good handful so far. Barry, Caitlin, Thea, Nate, Sara, you, and a boy who is apparently Barry's grandson. I spent most of this afternoon learning about the Flash history from the perspective of someone from a completely different timeline.

[justanitgirl]

More like Thundercats, and don't ask me how I know what Thundercats are. We had Boomerang.

[He didn't even need to ask, she just told him.]

Well, at least that's a handful of our people accounted for. Seems like it's been everyone that was at the wedding or, you know, fought Nazis.

[justanitgirl]

She hadn't known much about John. Just that he was a friend of Oliver's and that he'd saved Sara by bringing her soul back. Something she knew they could never thank him enough for. She had, honestly, never expected to see him again after that time though. So when she saw him sitting there smoking a cigarette she had to lean in a little to make sure who she was seeing was who she thought it was.

"I don't think a crowbar's going to help. She's a timeship so she's probably impervious to crowbars. At least when she wants to be."

[orions_shadow]

"Said his name was Martin." To be absolutely fair, this kid is one of the wilds of this place. He hops on over towards the door towards the exit out of the lair, his tail swaying behind him. "He's alright." Okay, Gideon then. "This is the way out?" There's a door over here, in the sub level. Or are they going through the club up stairs?

[johnsluck]

"Depends on the crowbar, but I take your meaning." John glanced up at her and waved hello with the cigarette-holding hand.

"Smoak. So, you're stuck in this mess, too, eh? Oliver here, or any of the rest of your merry band?"

Anyone else who did what Oliver and his group did would get at least a little derision, but Oliver and John had heavy-duty history, so it was said with grudging respect.

[johnsluck]

What, the thing? Or being on it?

I am a right crazy weirdo and you shouldn't be talking to me, kid.

[pocket_sized]

Whoa. Cool. [Felicity he actually watched that show when it first game on. It's been played on so many different platforms since.]

The Nazis could have left a boobytrap but from what I saw, that Oliver was kinda hyperfocused on Anti-Kara. Doesn't quite track for me.

[orions_shadow]

The thing is stupid. I have to use voice to text because I can't type on it. Hate these things. I'm fourteen. Not a kid. An' I seen crazier than what you sound like.

[johnsluck]

Most people use their voice, truth to tell, kid, like I did.

Right. Whatever you say, kid.

Who are you, anyway, and why are you on this thing?

[orions_shadow]

You got fingers, I got paws. Name's Shadow, and I'm bored, that's why. [Well, really just killing time while hanging out at Martin's place.]
