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:
Post with Character you'd like to test drive using Name and canon in the subject line.
Receive comments.

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.

[ And they did help her. Didn't they?

He rolls her eyes. ]


I'm pretty sure I did that, Caitlin. [ Tada hand gestures. ]
vivifier: (are you kidding?)

[personal profile] vivifier 2017-12-11 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
Haven't decided if I do. Where exactly is there a place for a disposable hero?

pocket_sized: (I can probably forgive this.)

[personal profile] pocket_sized 2017-12-11 07:27 am (UTC)(link)
You know about the Legends. When Rip recruited us he told us none of us had a meaningful effect on the time stream, which meant we were expendable. All of us.

You take steps to improve yourself, make yourself something, someone that nobody would say is disposable. That's kinda what we did, even if it's just among the team.

"Yeah, it is." He says flatly. Seriously why are you arguing with him?

"This place doesn't make any sense. Time's broken."
vivifier: (oh no)

[personal profile] vivifier 2017-12-11 07:30 am (UTC)(link)
And how do I do that?

[ Careful, Ray. The last time someone made him an offer like that, they answered his questions with vagueness. ]
godelsolution: (yes fine)

Re: 1

[personal profile] godelsolution 2017-12-11 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
Well. That's something she knows something about. "...time? Someone used the time machine?"
orions_shadow: (Default)

[personal profile] orions_shadow 2017-12-11 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
About to answer her regarding the bar before she trails off on that last note, but he knows what he's about to say and his expression fades to one of pensive and chagrine.

"They're not around."

[personal profile] orions_shadow 2017-12-11 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
"Maybe." Shad shrugs, then reaches for her wrist to tug her along.


"C'mon. You look like crap." Seriously, get yourself cleaned up, he'll lead the way.
snowandfrost: (cait: hurting)

[personal profile] snowandfrost 2017-12-11 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
You wanted Killer Frost.

[She's about ready to hang up on him. She hesitates because of the vague memory of him "saving her" when the team went against Killer Frost.]
godelsolution: (tired)

Re: 1

[personal profile] godelsolution 2017-12-11 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
"...maybe?" Shaking her head, pulling her wrist away but...she'll follow him, she guesses. For now.

"Don't think there is a way, yet. I've used all my tricks for getting around. My jump card to Pocket D doesn't work anymore and neither does the way to get to Ouroboros. We're kinda stuck here." He explains, before standing fully, still hunching a bit.
pocket_sized: (Super interested in whatever this is.)

[personal profile] pocket_sized 2017-12-11 07:38 am (UTC)(link)
The how? You make friends, not enemies. Spend time trying to figure out what you want, positive things, things that will make you able to be part of the group. A lot of that has to be your own initiative, you know that. [Years of business classes talking here. He knows how it works.]

But that's something other people can help you with too.

You know, it's a lot easier to tear down a bridge than it is to build it.
snowandfrost: (cait: hurting)

[personal profile] snowandfrost 2017-12-11 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
She thinks on it. Caitlin isn't the warmest person around, she'll be the first to admit to it.

"In that case, do you want to stick together? I'll bet even Frost will behave. She's not really a Killer. It's just a name. Mostly, people have lost toes and fingers. Brain freeze. Maybe a little frostbite."
vivifier: (oh fine)

[personal profile] vivifier 2017-12-11 07:42 am (UTC)(link)
I wanted my friend. [ And that? Is pure Barry Allen. Which...is probably why he ends up hanging up on HER.

Don't make him go full Barry Allen, dammit. ]

vivifier: (oh fine)

[personal profile] vivifier 2017-12-11 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
"So it is a trap, then." But who is it a trap for, exactly? And who else got caught up in the afterburn?
vivifier: (fucking fine)

[personal profile] vivifier 2017-12-11 07:44 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not the one who tore it down.

[ He's just the one who refused to try to fix it. ]
pocket_sized: (Count on me.)

[personal profile] pocket_sized 2017-12-11 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
Sometimes you can't do anything about that, Sav...

Seriously we need to come up with something to call you.

Anyway, time to build new ones.

"A trap for you? And why would I be here?" That doesn't make any sense unless they were collecting people or something.

"Weird."
vivifier: (go away)

[personal profile] vivifier 2017-12-11 07:50 am (UTC)(link)
What else would I even go by?

"Not necessarily me. It could be for you."

He lets her go easily and walks on towards the streets, towards a place with more modern clothes for sale.

"What size are you?" He asks as they near his destination.
orions_shadow: (Default)

[personal profile] orions_shadow 2017-12-11 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
"Hm, doesn't seem like something any of the people interested in me would do. Plus all these people I've never even heard of?" He shakes his head.

"Dimensional bleed seems more likely. This is a big cosmic time event so no real surprise that it's dragging people in from other realities!"
snowandfrost: (cait: hurting)

[personal profile] snowandfrost 2017-12-11 07:56 am (UTC)(link)
[It's a little while before she sends a text]

Did you really consider all of me your friend?
godelsolution: (Default)

[personal profile] godelsolution 2017-12-11 07:58 am (UTC)(link)
More modern than rags? Pshaw. "I...have no idea." It's not like she goes shopping. She wears what they hand her in the bunkers, and then this outfit from the camps.
pocket_sized: (Prepare for science.)

[personal profile] pocket_sized 2017-12-11 07:59 am (UTC)(link)
Whatever sounds good to you.

Maybe a new code name... Bolt?

I might need a little while to come up with a day to day civilian name. Any favorite movie characters come to mind? Family names?
