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.

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.

Savitar | The Flash

[vivifier]

1.

At first, he thinks it's some sort of trick or trap from Team Flash. Being shoved out of his own armor by his temporal original, but when he lands on the ground he's nowhere near a park at night. Point of fact, it's broad daylight and he's...near Big Ben?

The thought occurs to him that he's somehow been shoved headfirst back into the Speed Force, but it was never like this in there. Inside, it was a living Hell. This...well. This is just a place. A place with a lot of other confused people around, some confused about his sudden appearance and some confused about...well, about something else. Their own appearance in this place if their panicking is any indication.

This...is going to take him more than a minute to wrap his head around. Dammit.

2.

[ A scarred looking 'Barry Allen', or Savitar to those 'in the know', and he looks like he's about to ask for someone. Anyone he knows to check in.

But then he says nothing, just yet, because well...who would he even look for? ]

You shouldn't have brought me here. [ He's still, apparently, operating under the impression that this is somehow an elaborate trap. ]

[orions_shadow]

Pretty close to where Savitar appears, this catkid is prowling about and checking things out. He hears the commotion and climbs up the side of a building to get a better view. He's only about ten yards away, so he can see that scar clearly, and when his eyes meet with the man's he gets a bad feeling in his bones. Who is that guy? Doesn't seem quite right. He climbs to the top of the building and crouches out of sight, settling on watching the guy for now and see what he does.

Re: 1

[vivifier]

'Doesn't seem quite right' should be Savitar's superlative in the Supervillain Yearbook. It sums it up quite nicely. After a moment of trying to get his bearings, he stands up. Carefully. He is, after all, still probably in danger of cessation of existence. Or if he isn't, he has no real idea of it.

After a moment, he catches this cat-kid looking at him. "Yes? Can I help you?"

[orions_shadow]

Ears turn back when the man catches him watching him, he grimaces and lifts his head and moves onto the edge of he awning that was a foot or so below him. "What do I call you?" He asks simply, taking a posture that would make it easy for him to move if he had to. "Friend or Foe?" Easy enough to make that distinction at least, but there's no reason to trust that either.

[vivifier]

He eyes the other man, the cat-man, warily. Straightens up to full height and wishes he hadn't left his armor behind. "You tell me. Who are you?"

[orions_shadow]

Not quite a man, not yet. Instead of honoring the request he rolls his eyes. "Really? I just asked you that." A bit of attitude but he hates it when people do that. This guy is guarded, doesn't want to tell him much, does he? Got a secret or two? "I'm Shadow."

[vivifier]

A secret or just highly suspicious. Or both. It could most certainly be both. "Savitar." He's certainly not going to snerk at the name 'Shadow' with a name like Savitar, is he. "Where is this place?"

[orions_shadow]

Highly suspicious, definitely. As for his name, sure Shadow might be one of those names used so often that it's mocked by heroes and villains alike, but it's really the only name that really works as a 'name' persay as well as a hero callname. "Los Angeles in a time... thingy." He doesn't understand it. "Time's broken."

[vivifier]

A slight smirk at the very idea of time being broken. He knew a few people who could cause something like that, but which of them was the cause this time? It couldn't be Barry, that's for sure. "A time 'thingy'? And how did that happen, exactly?"

1 (pretty much)

[kid_flash_found]

A couple of days still haven't gotten Bart used to the topsy-turvy environs of this place, but that doesn't change who and what he was. He and Speed Force had been nearly one and the same at several points, and even before that, his awareness of the fluctuations it had was keener than some.

So he knew practically the instant another speedster arrived, and was arrowing in on the location as best he could without drawing attention. There was a flavor of distress to the situation, and it made him wary, approaching in street clothes instead of in uniform to be a little more low-key. At first, when he saw the man's profile, he was confused, because he looked just like the Barry Allen he saw earlier. But the scars...he knew what kind of damage it could take to keep a speedster from healing, and that was nothing anyone escaped from unscathed. That made him walk just a little more determinedly towards the newcomer, ignoring the looks people gave as they avoided both of them.

"You want a hand?"

Re: 1 (pretty much)

[vivifier]

The distress might come from the fact Savitar was in the middle of a fight before he arrived here. But perhaps not. Perhaps it's the scars and everything else. He glances up at the other speedster as he approaches, cautious and wary. He had no idea where he was or who this was. Why shouldn't he be cautious?"

"Sure..." He'll take that hand up, for now.

Re: 1 (pretty much)

[kid_flash_found]

Bart offers his hand, bracing easily to pull the older man up, looking as if he would memorize the face in front of him, figure out just how bad it was.

"That first step's a dozy, isn't it?"

Re: 1 (pretty much)

[vivifier]

"Especially when someone pushes you." And that's an honest truth there. "What is this place?" Because it's clearly not where he was.

Re: 1 (pretty much)

[kid_flash_found]

"Los Angeles, mostly. Well, a part of it. Try and go too far and you get bounced back, which lends credence to the dimensional bubble theory, but with a lot of weird time shenanigans added for flavor," Bart said, nodding where a London two-wheeler is merging easily with more modern traffic.

"I know I wasn't exactly expecting to wake up, let alone in another world."

Re: 1 (pretty much)

[vivifier]

"What caused this?" It wasn't him, was it? Because that wasn't his intention with the speed-canon at all.

Re: 1 (pretty much)

[kid_flash_found]

"Your guess is probably as good as anyone's. Time is broken, apparently, and not for the first time, if you believe some of the stories I've heard. There's a crashed Time-ship, though," Bart said, grimacing a little. "Wouldn't surprise me if the Reverse-Flash were involved. He's just the kind of guy to do that."

Re: 1 (pretty much)

[vivifier]

"A time ship." He pauses, careful in his next wording. "Eobard Thawne? He's here?"

[When she sees the image flicker on her device, Caitlin stops stock still where she's at. No. No, it can't be. It couldn't be. It's just a natural reaction to when she sees him, that her eyes shift and the temperature suddenly starts dropping around her. When she responds, it's a familiar face]

You again.

[vivifier]

[ Oh, don't worry, Caitlin. He's not exactly please to see Frost either. After all, she's just a reminder of another in a long list of betrayals. ]

Hmm. Right. Me again.

[snowandfrost]

Guess that they'll let anybody in. Back for another murder, perhaps?

[vivifier]

Hadn't planned on it yet, but perhaps I can make an exception.

[snowandfrost]

[Her eyes narrow and she's all too ready to call him out for a fight]

....you're lucky that we're on the good guys' side now.

[vivifier]

[ Oh, how much does THAT irk. ]


Oh. Are you? Are you a hero now, Killer Frost?

[snowandfrost]

They, at least, see all of me. Not just one side.

[The name is on the tip of her tongue. She isn't angry enough to use that ace up her sleeve yet.]

[vivifier]

Sure. It couldn't be the fact that accepting...no. Allowing you back into their lives is the only way they're get to spend time with dear old Caitlin. That couldn't possibly be it.
