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.

Depends on who you mean by others. I met Dr. Palmer and Ms. Smoak, as well. And Shadow, but he's in a similar boat to me, being from another world.

[snowandfrost]

But not Cisco? Or Joe? Or Iris?

[kid_flash_found]

I heard that Cisco is here, but I haven't met him. I don't know about the other two.

[He does his best not to think of Iris, his grandmother, and how much he misses her.]

I haven't seen Wally or Jay, either.

[snowandfrost]

[She freezes a little when he mentions Jay.]

Jay?

[kid_flash_found]

Uncle Jay. Garrick. He and Joan took care of me when I was still...floating around. Gave me somewhere to be after Max died. After Donna and Lilith...

[He looks off, trying not to be haunted by memories just now.]

Is something wrong?

[snowandfrost]

The real Jay Garrick not Hunter Zolomon?

[kid_flash_found]

I've never met Hunter, only seen the name. Family history.

[The Flash Museum totally counts as family history, right? Right.]

But I'd know if he were replaced.

[snowandfrost]

Sorry, my mind is still reeling from Uncle Jay Garrick--you must be from a different Earth?

[kid_flash_found]

So it seems. Trust me, I'm in the same boat. Everything is almost the same, but then there are some big differences.

[snowandfrost]

[She breathes a sigh of relief]

You said your name is Bart? How long have you been here?

[kid_flash_found]

Long enough to start getting an idea of things.

[He just doesn't want to say whether that was hours or days.]

Makes me wonder if this is how the Kandorians felt, although stuck in a bubble of really messed up spacetime that's been shaken instead of stirred does add another layer to it.

[snowandfrost]

Might wanna...take it a little easy with the future knowledge since I'm from your grandfather's time.

[And isn't that weird to say?]

[kid_flash_found]

I don't know if that applies, since it doesn't seem to be the same world. I'm just glad none of us ended up on Earth-3 with the Justice Lords.

[He thinks about it.]

I don't actually know that much about the future, since I grew up in this time, give or take.

[snowandfrost]

Justice Lords?

[She shakes her head. It's a lot to take in.]

Safe to say that you're a speedster as well, then?

[kid_flash_found]

Oh, right, no Justice League, so probably not that easy. Easiest way to explain was originally Earth-1 had Grandpa Barry and the Justice League. Earth-2 had Uncle Jay and the Justice Society, and then the Justice Lords were the dominant power on Earth-3, controlling just about everything.

[A pause, then he shrugs.]

Guess there's no real reason to hide it. I was born a speedster.

[snowandfrost]

Barry joins something called a Justice League?

[What was that again about going easy on the future knowledge?]

[kid_flash_found]

You might say that.

[Bart isn't really sure it counts when there's a completely different timeline going on.]

It's probably different here. Given that it seems like nobody's heard of half the founding members.
