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.

Comments

Felicity shakes her head, smiling slightly. She's pretty sure there is any number of people who would voluntarily marry Oliver. He's a good person with good qualities. And nice abs. Very, very nice abs. Still, she could entirely see why John would think that way. He was also frustrating and a handful.

The reply to her question is actually reassuring - or more the tone is. "Then I can give you the general run down. All time and space seem to be converging here and it's dragging us into it. For now, I think it's probably a good idea to figure out a way to track everyone."

[johnsluck]

And crazy, and not really good at relationships, and married to his career, despite himself and...

John just shook his head, listening.

"Good luck on that. If this place is that bad, likely there is a distortion field." Yeah, he really did know what he was saying. "UNless we could harness chronotons. Maybe magically... ugh. I hate time travel."

[justanitgirl]

All things she knows better than most; and yet she still married him. What can she say, she loves the man beyond reason and has complete faith in their love for one another.

She's not entirely certain she agrees with his theory, but it's something that needs to be considered. Which means that the ability to actually harness chronotons has to be established. Magic, however, was not her department (even if it almost could have been). John, on the other hand, had more then enough knowledge to know if it was feasible.

"The key word there is 'if'." She presses her lips together, a small crinkle forming between her brows as she thinks.

[johnsluck]

Or, she's a masochist. Either way, John's judging. it's a thing John does.

John smirked at her and waggled his fingers. "If is the big question always. Only one way to find out. Up for some explorations?" He waggled his eyebrows at her, making it almost seem a dirty word even as he hauls himself up, then offers her his hand.

[justanitgirl]

John can judge all he wants, Felicity probably would too if it was a year or two ago. Now, however, there were no doubts in her mind about it. Married to the man or not, she knows she wants to be with him for the rest of her life.

The comment causes a smile to spread across her face. She'd almost forgotten that there were people who didn't speak her language here. SHe actually doesn't notice at first how he'd turned the whole thing into a dirty comment and pushes herself off to a standing position. "Isn't that just what I said?"

[johnsluck]

John took one look at her, a look she has probably gotten before, the flat look of someone who is just facepalming internally. "No, its not." And he grinned at her and started forward.

He was ready with a paraphrase. "As a wise man once said, 'There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, where the sea is asleep and the rivers dream; people made of smoke and cities made of song. Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice, and somewhere else the tea is getting cold. Come on, Felicity, we've got work to do.'"

he smirked and nodded. That had been a fun enough bloke, if a bit touched in the head.

[justanitgirl]

That was totally what she just said, but then again John doesn't speak Felicity ... not yet at least, and she's okay with that.

"As always, ready, willing and able." Maybe not always that second part, but willing or not, she'd always do it. The question was, what first. If they were doing this with tech she would be all on what to do, but magic was still completely foreign to her.
