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:

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.

"Define 'seen a lot of odd', if you don't mind my asking," he says, looking to her, and looking her up and down. His affect is a bit flat, but there's a quiet amount of life in his hazel eyes. "I've seen a fair amount myself, of a scientific variety. History wasn't my strong point.

"I'm Herbert, Herbert West," he adds, more engaged, even a shadow of a slightly adolescent squeak in his voice.

"Well does the cause of current Gotham problems being an insane asylum count along with a coworker who speaks fluent riddle?" Kristen observes. And in spite of the retro wardrobe there's something about her in full steam.

He blinks, raising an eyebrow. "I could see a mental hospital being a nexus of oddness, but a coworker talking in riddles? Riddles of the sphinx or would-be witticisms?" he asks, intrigued.

Come to think of it, this guy could arguably be a more dour and cranky, as well as pint-sized cousin to Nygma.

"Little of both? Mr. Nygma has been known to use both types of riddles." Kristen admits.

Both eyebrows have raised now. "That takes some talent, though I imagine he must be either a nuisance to work with, or he's the funniest guy in the room. Or something between the two.

He looks her up and down again. "I'm guessing you're in academia?"

"More like professional nerd, I'm a file clerk and archivist for the police in Gotham." Kristen admits. "As for Mr.Nygma he's odd to say the least."

That gets a tiny hint of a smile out of him, though he might be hiding a slight tremor when she mentions working for the police. "At least you're putting your skills to good use, to a noble cause, helping those who...serve and protect."

The barkeep, polishing glass beer mugs behind the counter, has by now spotted them. "Don't moind yer comin' in, but are ye orderin' or meetin' oop?" he asks.

Herbert might dart a look between the barkeep and Kristin. "I guess I owe you a drink, at least, for getting me away from those ruffians out there."
