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.

{ you're so much more than a memory

[strongerthanyouknow]

"Graceful entrance."

That's Sara not far off. She was not expecting that, and there's a wariness of uncertainty.

Because she can't be certain whether to hope or whether to hold still in the easier assumption that's most of her thought. Not since Oliver said he came in from two days after she died. Hope is a painful thing and she doesn't even know if it's there, or just the academic recognition of how fucking complicated this all might be able to get. Only that she's standing here, and only that Leonard Snart is going about standing up, and she's still missing one Leo Snart from the count of her crew before suddenly being here.

Re: { you're so much more than a memory

Leo smiles easily at Sara even though he knows when she looks at him she sees his doppleganger. It's just something he has to deal with even if it hurts. He holds his hands out. "I've had worse receptions," he admits. He gives her a quick once over. "You okay captain," he asks, "anyone else around or did we all get dumped in different places?"

[strongerthanyouknow]

That's really all it takes. That smile. The way he holds himself. Captain. Whatever flicker was there douses itself in silence, even as she never looks away from him, and her expression doesn't change. She's gotten good at that. On EarthX. On her own ship since he showed and started putting his nose -- and especially his face -- where it didn't belong. Telling her he didn't like the job she was doing.

But staying still.

"Good enough for kidnapped." It's true enough, and annoyed enough.
She nods, easy, fast, simple, walking toward him. "There's a few of us already."

"Most everyone is gathering near The Waverider while we collect the people appearing everywhere." At least the Civilian ones. "Everyone else is scouting for those people, for safe spaces, and the threats that seems to keep opping up just like everyone else is."

[citizen_cold]

Leo nods meeting her the rest of the way keeping plenty of space between them. He might be trying to get them to open about recent events but that doesn't mean he plans on doing so. He's seen people with less reason to be put in the camps be reported and until he's sure no one from his earth is here he isn't going to be on his guard. "You want to me to be one of the scouts," he asks wanting confirmation before he heads off.

[strongerthanyouknow]

"If you don't mind pulling in with the rest of the team," Sara nodded.

It was a curious thing, and a trying one. One almost better left to the job she was doing, rather than the person it always felt like was facing her. Him being along with them, and know he didn't plan to be along long. But that, also, put him trapped here with the team, and if he might be a bit cumbersome for several reasons, it was still all very hands on deck with the current circumstances.
