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.

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.

Hailing from a world with superheroes a dime a dozen, Shadow felt at home in a place like this. It appealed to his animal instincts, with nature having taken over, vines giving him excellent cover on this outcropping of the building he was lounging on, behind a statue, but it also reminded him of home. Not of the rogue isles, but of Paragon City.

He watches Harry for a little while, not seeking to interfere with his explorations, he's practically invisible in this shade, behind these vines.

The boy turns his head and watches him still as he moves down the hall, knocking a few rocks down from his perch. Whoops.

Not that he's worried, the guy doesn't look dangerous.

Harry spun hand moving to his back pack and rooting around inside it. He doesn't have his bigger gun given he'd been fixing it at STAR Labs when he'd heard the voice, but he had managed to pack the handheld version and he pulled it out keeping it down by his side. "Is anyone there," he called out quietly. "I'm armed and believe me I will use it if you don't answer me."

[orions_shadow]

"You use it, you'll lose it, gramps." Shad says as he climbs out onto the shoulder of the Flash statue. He looks down at the man and looks at that gun.

"Why don't you put that little toy away? If I wanted to mess with you, I'da done it already." He speaks with a slight accent, from someone raised among foreigners and hasn't exactly acclimated to the american inflection yet.

Harry aimed a shot at the statue of the only woman in the room and calmly shot her square in the chest. "I don't make idle threats," he replied easily, "but I'm also not trigger happy when I don't need to be. Also I don't make toys." He does put the gun back in the backpack through because he doesn't really randomly shoot strangers, At least not ones who haven't pissed him off yet."

[orions_shadow]

Damn, what does he have against women? Turning his eyes away from the blasted bust to the man, he tapped his fingers against the shoulder of the statue he was on.

"Do you know what this place is?" He gestures around. "And what's happening, for that matter? The world's gone topsyturvy all of a sudden."
