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:
Post with Character you'd like to test drive using Name and canon in the subject line.

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.

[His voice is slightly dampened, as if he's further away from his comm. Mostly because he is.]

I'm here. Working out a technical issue but I'm here.

"Ray!" There's an exclamation that's part-relief, and even more triumph. Someone she can finally sic on the ship, who will have a better go of it than anything she's tried at this point. Except his comm sounds weird and it stops her, looking toward the space where the comm is. "Things alright on your end? You're -- not breaking up. But it sounds -- weird?"

(Three. Three of Six. That was half now.)

Between the heavy bass beat in the background and him having to stand on the chin strap to reach the comm, yeah, there's something not quite right.

"Well, I'm about six inches tall, and my suit is full sized."

". . ." That's not even. Except. It's Ray.

"Come again?" Which isn't even enough. "Since when? How?"

For about an hour. At this point I'm not concerned about the how, so much as I am fixing the problem.

And thankful that I'm able to shrink my clothes as well.

[ Right. Most important things first. ]

Where are you now? What can you make out?

Remember that club Thea Queen owned? I think I'm there right now. And so are some Roman Centurions, at least what I could see for now.

I don't think I've been noticed yet.

The Verdant is here? [ That's a super blast from the past, isn't? In a completely different way from the cavemen still trying to decide if they are running from or attacking a parked car one street over from where she is. ]

Any clue what area it's in? Is anyone else headed that way?
Can you see anyone who isn't a soldier, or trying to step on you?

[Oh totally. Just hope the thing doesn't have a car alarm--well there it goes, he can hear it.]

I haven't exactly gotten out to look around yet. I've had a word with Thea but I don't think she's coming, yet. She knows I'm here.

I'll come. I've got Mick here with me.
He can stay with the ship until there's a better plan.

It might take me a bit to find exactly where Verdant is in this mess, but I'm on my way.

[ Sara doesn't leave any of her team stranded. Not if she can help it. Friends were nice, but she wasn't waiting. ]

Bring some tools if you can find them. The function that shrinks the suit doesn't seem to be functioning properly. [Actually what he needs to do is concentrate on returning to normal size, if this is really a power and not just a glitch.]

I think the suit's shrinking ability may have transferred to me.

That shouldn't be possible.

[ Neither should everything happening around them. But time fucked up sometimes. Especially if the Legends fucked up sometimes, and here they were back in their original worst newest fuck up. The one that they got kicked off the Time Team for. That was normal screwing up, Legends Style.

Sudden meta powers, though? ] What kinds of tools?

That was my first thought, but then I grew to about a foot from the size of a peanut. For now, the size I'm at now seems to be fairly stable.

If you can't get any tool boxes from the ship I guess I can probably make due with a soldering iron and a set of screw drivers. Going to need to find the smallest set you can find.

[ Sara's thrifting through everything she can get to nearby, but the idea of finding a set of tools really, without the ability to get into Gideon. The prospect isn't... well...great. But they've had far worse odds and far more universal stakes, and Legends never quit. ]

I can't believe I'm saying this, but you've tried returning to a normal size, right??

Yeah, but I'm splitting my attention between watching out for trouble, trying to fix it the suit and talking to you guys.

[He thinks he can at least make it smaller, then he can focus on getting regular sized again.]
