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 kid almost laughs at Martin's reaction, almost. Cos this is the whole thing with coming to Paragon City all over again. Being tossed around to people who don't want him, to teams that basically ignore him. "What if nobody wants to do it? I can take care of myself. I do all the time." Okay, sure, he goes out on his own and patrols or hangs out with kids who might end up joining street gangs, but he does alright.

[alittlehelpfrommyfriends]

"I don't believe Gideon would be so irresponsible not to find you a guardian." he watched the ship, then sighed.

"There's a whole city, and we will find you help. And in the meantime, you at least have a friend." Martin stuck out his hand to the youngster.

He felt old, very old.

[orions_shadow]

Isn't he though? What's irresponsible about it? Or rather, why does she have to be responsible for him? He's not really sure, but he supposes he might as well just go with it. "Couple of em, so far." Bart being the one he thinks of first. He hesitates when the hand is offered, then reaches to shake it. His hand was thick, suited for baring weight on the digits, rather than the nimble fingers of a human.

[alittlehelpfrommyfriends]

Martin shook his hand. "You can stay with me, or with another of your friends. No matter what Gideon says. Friends look after friends." Martin nods, a fierce pride in his eyes. He's hardly in shape to watch a kid, but he could be a friend at least.

"How long since you ate?"

[orions_shadow]

"My friend's about my age too. We'd just be stuck in the same boat." Maybe he should go and eat after a nap? "I could probably go hunting." In Lieu of actually getting something at a restaurant or grocery tore. Free food, also dinosaurs. He really wants to eat one.

[alittlehelpfrommyfriends]

"God help me. Another child." Martin glares at the ship for a moment, then nods. "I'd love to meet him, sometime."

"If you want, or we can go get food in the city somewhere."

[orions_shadow]

Gideon issues him the phone and he takes it, putting it in an inside pocket of the jacket, which looked new. Even had a tag still attached to it, one of the magnetic clips. Shoplifted. "You got any money?" Cos he could maybe figure out a way to get some.

[alittlehelpfrommyfriends]

"Yes, actually, I do. Several kinds." he had been on enough missions to start stashing money about his person, a lesson learned from Snart, long ago.

"We can get some food, or you can hunt. Either way, I will likely get some for the apartment." And talk to the Other Legends about jobs.

[orions_shadow]

"I could eat." A cooked meal that is. Hunting for food is natural to him but he never turns down free food.

"Anyplace where they sell meat."

[alittlehelpfrommyfriends]

"I saw a bar and grille that looked open on my way out the first time. If they're still there, it isn't too far past where the apartments are supposed to be." Taking a long breath, Martin started forward.

This would be an adventure.

[orions_shadow]

"Too much adventure for one day, eh?" The boy asks while he moves to match pace with him.
