Test Drive; December

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.

The familiarity in Sara's voice brings Oliver up short. The beer he'd been reaching for is set down in favor of watching the two of them, both Sara and Constantine.

When in the hell did they meet up?
What the hell did he miss?

That frisson of tension has him going stiff again, a frown furrowing his brow. Not long now and he'll start asking for those answers he'd set aside earlier.

"You know Star City, it's a magnet for trouble. But I didn't realize you'd been."

"Oliver--" And this one isn't to Oliver, it's Sara using his name as a subject as she comments to Constantine about the words that just came out of Oliver's mouth more than to Oliver's comment itself. "--'s been a little displace."

There's the hedge of a quarter-second's thought before the last word. It's the right one, but how exactly are you supposed to put everything from he only just saw me die to he's missing three or more years of his life to her time? Especially, when what it makes her do, suddenly, is furrow her eyebrows and look at John more straight on, with a shiver of necessary suspicion.

Important questions first; in case John doesn't in the slightest remember that either. "When are you from?"

John starts to talk as Oliver asks that, but then there is Sara, and speaking sense, and he swears in Babylonian and Etruscan and pours three drinks instead.

"Sara- You--" His words almost cross her second ones and he chuckles. "November 2017. Or so. Just got back from Hell a second time in recent years." He made a face. He hated that place. He gestures to the drinks and them.

He starts in. To Oliver first, he speaks. "There are tales to tell and perhaps time to tell them." Then to Sara. "You want me to tell what I know, or do you want to do the honors?" It's her tale more than his, but he could imagine it was hard to tell.

Yes, he could be considerate, okay?

[She would almost be embarrassed if she wasn't so happy to hear Sara's voice.]

First class ticket. Though I don't remember being invited to this party.

You somewhere safe?

"Me either." There's annoyance, but more than they're on their own in someone's remake of the playground time crash that already was handled. Being unhandled to even worse state than it was put into by all of them to begin with.

Because it adds to the crap pile. But transparency was the lay line. "Gideon's locked down the ship, too."

"Good." Sara nods. "Keep your comms on, in case of--" There's this explosive sort of movement with her shoulders and hands, even as she shakes her head. The options are too open and too limitless with everything, everyone, and everything else appearing everywhere. "--anything."

She doesn't tell him to be safe out there. That's not part of this compact. It's not part of who they are.
Sara's already trying to figure what to assign to who, and where she should head herself.
Who should stay here, and whether not to set that. With how open it is.

A cafe in Paris. I've been trying to figure out an alga rhythm to figure out where our people are and when they arrive and leave. It's gonna take time though.

[personal profile] strongerthanyouknow 2017-12-03 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
"The Time Bureau took care of it." Sara might sound the smallest touch hollowly trite about that admission, but it's not the time for opinions on Rip's foibles or the kingdoms he builds only to break. It's only the time for honest answers as can be had and plans for how to fix it again.

It's not the first day though and Sara gives herself the pause of a swallow of her drink, before continuing. "We don't have any of their tech currently for sending back the displacements, and the Waverider is down currently, so we're out fixing it from outside of it, too, until Ray can find a way in."

She really doesn't like either of those facts.

Smart plan. [ Smart girl.
All the reasons Felicity is the heart of Oliver's team. ]



How's it going so far? How many of us are there?

[ Sara's thrifting through everything she can get to nearby, but the idea of finding a set of tools really, without the ability to get into Gideon. The prospect isn't... well...great. But they've had far worse odds and far more universal stakes, and Legends never quit. ]

I can't believe I'm saying this, but you've tried returning to a normal size, right??

[personal profile] strongerthanyouknow 2017-12-03 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ Sara's mouth twitches at that, and there might be a small shake of her head.
God, but it was good to be able to hear her team's voices. ]


Yeah. Sure, Professor.

My tech friend sitting next to me is laughing at me. (he is a jerk)

[personal profile] justanitgirl 2017-12-03 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
Right now it's just the usual headcount. You, me, Thea from three years ago, Ray, Constantine, Cisco, Barry, Kara, Oliver and, in a weird turn of events, my mom. Plus there are two kids that are from an alternate Earth. At least that's my guess.

As for the algorithm, it's going slow. Ray mentioned that there were places here from the future so I'm thinking of getting parts there to see if that speeds things along.

Sara's good at words, and even better at smirks. She doesn't look anything like put off or even annoyed to have her question returned with a question, and her response is simple as she raised the glass back to her mouth to take this one down, too. "The thing with your eyes."

Say, I found a small bistro around the corner from the ship. If Gideon is not being reasonable, would you sare to have dinner?

"Too much. Too little. Not enough." Sara lines those up like they are cards in the air, on the bar.

Pausing only long enough to hold out a hand for the bartender returning with a half glass, full of ice, some sort of dark brown liquid in it. Even not knowing what it is yet, she flashed the girl behind the counter a bright, far too easy smile. "You are a hero, and a goddess. Put it on my tab."

"Hmmm." he looks at the mirror, sees the flicker and almost falls over himself. "That... should not be happening."

He looks around, then back at her. "Have you happened to see an older man, kind of silly sometimes, likes pizza, merges with people to become a fiery-tempered superhero?" Yeah, okay, he's drunk, but that sounds like Martin to him.
pocket_sized: (Maybe science can't fix this one.)

[personal profile] pocket_sized 2017-12-03 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but I'm splitting my attention between watching out for trouble, trying to fix it the suit and talking to you guys.

[He thinks he can at least make it smaller, then he can focus on getting regular sized again.]
strongerthanyouknow: <user name="iconsbymalachi"> (➳ I'm Listening)

Haaaaaa, so mean! :)

[personal profile] strongerthanyouknow 2017-12-03 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
I've got Mick, Nate, and Martin here for your list, too. We're still missing a few, but that's nearly half of mine, so whatever this is it's pulling in fast and hard on everyone it looks like, plus two more civilians.

[ She can make a guess for why them, though not yet a guess for why on those two kids Felicity named. Or the one she spotted. Or Felicity's mom. The first two fit too close to comfort to having just come from another earth, but her mother. That was an utterly left field item. ]

Ray's right. There's sections of time splicing themselves in all over this city, locations as well as inhabitants, all that weren't here the last time we were. Once we've covered which people are here already, we should think about getting one up for the places, and people, and threats still upcoming, cross-sectioned with their times, since it's starting to look like it's us just as much as it is this place.

A head is canted as she does this, curious eyes watching her. He wonders exactly true that is about the barkeep, when he pulls the hood down. Naturally the woman is a little wary of the kid who's got the face of a cat, and she's definitely putting her distance between them as she's been doing, but she says nothing about it.

"So basically, it could be anything. Even magic. But I'd sense it if it were so I think you can rule that out." He muses. "You're a cape, aren't you?"

Mapping the different sections should be pretty easy ... as long as they don't move around that is. I mean, they seem to be pretty stable. And Ray said that Palmer tech is from three years ago so either he or I am in charge of its resources.

There seems to be a lot of that going around, doesn't it?
[ The question is more general than specific. Except. ]

I assume there's a privacy function on these, right?
