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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Yep. Tried that. She's not budging.

What? Why wouldn't she?

That, really is the question that needs to be answered.

[Sara hasn't any luck, and Gideon electrocuted him already for trying to slip inside. It's not going well.]

What is there in the meantime, then? I mean. Maybe she'll run out of a charge?

Not likely given the Waverider's power source. She could probably stay on reserve and still be able to keep me from getting in with my suit.

Maybe Cisco could vibe you in? If he's here?

Valid option. I guess I was considering how to do it with the usual Waverider roster.

[She smiles at that]

Team Flash is always ready to help.

Hey, I'm counting on it.

We'll compare notes soon. And really I should fly around and see if I can't construct a map. See what landmarks are here that we know.

Also, spoilers. There's a flash museum in the 31st century.

There's a Flash museum?

[Color her surprised]

Yeah. It's certainly an eye opener.

Not really sure if Barry should see it though.

Maybe I should just stop mentioning it.

Knowing Barry, he might want to stay far and away from it anyway.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's one of those things that's best we avoid for now. There's something called "Science Police" and they don't seem fond of meta humans.

Science police? Are they with the museum?

Yeah, generally in the 31st century. I'd warn anyone against using their meta powers there.

Why would we have a science police that are against metas protecting a museum...for a meta?

No idea. Might be an offshoot of ARGUS. In the 2040s they're hunting Metas, apparently.

Hunting...metas.

[Oh that makes her nervous.]

It's also a completely different language to contend with. One thousand years in the future. If I didn't have my translator it would have gotten tricky.

Not surprising since languages evolve so much over a short period of time.

[She looks over to where the Waverider is]

So our best bet is to get Cisco to vibe us all into the Waverider and hopefully be able to set history back to its rightful course?

Maybe. But in the same token I think we should wait to see given the conditions we have here. He might vibe himself inbetween dimensions or something.

Definitely don't want that. I can look around for a little bit, I guess. If I need to reach you, I can just call you through this?

Yeah. I'll keep my line open. Try to stay safe and use the buddy system.

Would it count if I share a body with my buddy?

Little unorthodox, but it'll have to do. [Don't worry, he approves.]

Think the two of you can take care of anyone whose lost their way?
