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.

The kid didn't know anything about it, so all he could judge it by was what just happened, and he didn't like the AI. Not even slightly. He follows her where ever she leads him and sits once they get to someplace safer. "...I don't like bright lights. Kinda like Gremlins."

[justanitgirl]

Once they're safe she starts checking him for signs of a concussion. Opening his eyes to see the dilation, having him tell her how many fingers she has up, name, counting to three backward and forwards. "Why did you try to get inside?" It's not like he's part of the Waverider with anything to get inside there.

[orions_shadow]

His eyes dilate just fine but he turns his head away when she tries to check. He doesn't like the light at all. He snarls his lips and pulls his head away so he doesn't even look at her fingers when she tries to have him count them. Basically blinded for the time being. "Because I thought I could." He said after she asked the question, sitting with his head tipped down. "It's the key to all this, so I figured if I got in you could fix it."

[justanitgirl]

She reaches up and fluffs his hair a little. She couldn't tell if he was that desperate to go home or if he had noticed her own desperation to fix things. If he'd seen it and that was the reason he'd done it ... she was already starting to feel guilt well up. "We'll figure something out. But for now, let's get you somewhere safe."

[orions_shadow]

It was the second option. He'd been watching, and while most of the adults seemed okay with him being there and let him do as he pleased, he was paying attention to what they were doing, their body language. All the rubs of the neck and glances to the ground or skyward let him know they were all frustrated and losing patience in whatever they were doing. Don't worry though, even dayblind he could still maneuver around quite well. "Where? The apartment buildings?"

[justanitgirl]

"The apartment is probably the best option."

Gideon had said it was safe. Granted, who knew if Gideon was being truthful or setting some kind of elaborate trap, but Felicity wanted to have faith in the time ship's AI. There had to be a reason why they couldn't physically get in. Remotely would have to be tried next.

[orions_shadow]

Oh, good. He kinda knew where that was and he knew the obstacles he needed to pass to get there, or at least he thought he did. "Gonna need your help more than I thought. I can't see and the shadows, I can't feel em." They were the best way to navigate when he'd been blinded by light, which was altogether too easy for his taste. It hurt. More than bullets, arrows or energy weapon. He reaches for her hand.

[justanitgirl]

She offers it, taking his paw in hers and leading him to the apartment building.

"Did you pick out an apartment yet??

[orions_shadow]

"Nope." He understand where she is now and figures he might just have to be careful not to trip. He feels like one of those circus chimpanzees. "I think I might live at Titans Tower."
