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.

Hey! [Felicity's phone goes off, Ray's smart watch giving her a call as he climbs up to the trim of the coat pocket. Even while he's small and hanging with one arm put, the other accommodating his watch so he could speak to them.

Once he gets on speaker so he doesn't have to shout, he speaks.]

I understand that we have obligations here, Sara, but think about it. Amaya knows far more than she should and she was with us for a while. So far nothing major has happened to Mari.

That would be her granddaughter.

Oliver doesn't need to know the specifics, but he should know enough to get by. Obviously not anything he can use to change things.

[strongerthanyouknow]

[ That doesn't make it better -- in fact, in at least two different points of fact, both of which Ray knows about entirely, it could make it even worse; being outside of time; where time isn't -- but it's probably not a conversation for comms. It's a conversation that can wait. For gathered people, and moved civilians, and more of the ground canvased for threats and safe spaces. ]

Yeah. We'll have to work something out. Probably not over the comms.

[ If she switches, without a pause, she makes no bones about the back she's doing it. ] Felicity, do you have any kind of ETA on how long you need my Net Support?



[ Ray. She means Ray. ]

[justanitgirl]

[She's not going to get into that. She already has a plan in place to deal with the time that Oliver doesn't know about yet and, hopefully, not ruin the timeline.

She knows that they don't know. They don't keep in close contact for various reasons, but they don't know that she's the one people turn to when 'The Green Arrow' isn't around, when he's compromised, or when he's trying to go it alone.

She'll handle it on her own if she has to, but she'd prefer working with the team, all the teams. They are, after all, stronger together than apart. It's something she knows well.

She's just not sure yet if there's going to be a willingness to do it. At least not on everyone's part.

Sara's question and the way she phrases it is telling. her tech support, not Ray. It's a distinction, a separation of the teams that makes the pit drop out of Felicity's stomach. Is that how it's going to be? If so, then that 10000% sucks.

If Ray's paying attention to Felicity, there's a deep frown on her face. The crinkle between her brows is prominent. It's clear that something is weighing heavily on her mind and in her heart.]

Once he's full sized.

[She's not going to send Ray away or act as if his choices aren't his own to make. She'll merely give an ETA of when he can get out of her pocket.]

[pocket_sized]

Yeah, tech support is pocket sized now, Sara.

I doubt I'm going to be of an any use right now.

[He's content chilling here for now, but as long as he's stuck like this he'd prefer to stay out of the way. He slides back down in that pocket and settles down on a pair of gloves.]

I couldn't get into the ship, Gideon retaliated. Not much I can do aside from theorize about what's going on.
