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.

Empty promises aren't a chance.

[snowandfrost]

[That gets him a flash of brown in the icy eyes]

Empty promises?

[vivifier]

Oh, let us help you. We can fix you, we can fix everything. Sure, we don't have any plan and who knows what we'll do with you afterwards, but if we just believe it we can do it. Really.

Empty promises at best. Lies, at the worst.

[snowandfrost]

[As he speaks, she shifts. She had heard that speech before. Julian, Cisco, Barry, all promising to make her better. And she believed it at the time.]

...sometimes, it takes finding ourselves on our own, not with the team.

[vivifier]

[ And they did help her. Didn't they?

He rolls her eyes. ]

I'm pretty sure I did that, Caitlin. [ Tada hand gestures. ]

[snowandfrost]

You wanted Killer Frost.

[She's about ready to hang up on him. She hesitates because of the vague memory of him "saving her" when the team went against Killer Frost.]

[vivifier]

I wanted my friend. [ And that? Is pure Barry Allen. Which...is probably why he ends up hanging up on HER.

Don't make him go full Barry Allen, dammit. ]

[snowandfrost]

[It's a little while before she sends a text]

Did you really consider all of me your friend?

[vivifier]

Why do you care? Leave me alone, Caitlin.

[snowandfrost]

I just need to know.

[But she pockets away her device and goes right back to learning the lay of the land.]

[vivifier]

Why? Why do you NEED to know?

[snowandfrost]

Because this whole time, I thought that you simply needed the muscle: Killer Frost.

[Amunet had been abundantly clear about that.]

[vivifier]

How terrible for you.

[snowandfrost]

If you were my friend, you'd answer

[vivifier]

Oh believe me, I am resigned to the fact that I have nothing.

[snowandfrost]

Please. Did you consider me, all of me, not one or the other, as your friend?

[vivifier]

Obviously yes.

[snowandfrost]

[There's no response to that. She needs to process this, knowing that he's probably from their past, right after he was taken cared of, it sounds like]

[vivifier]

[ Can a lack of response in return to a lack of response sound aggravated? If so, there it is. ]
