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.

"Superboy," Bart said. "He's not here, though."

[vivifier]

"...Superboy?" He looks puzzled. "Let me guess. Clone of Supergirl's grandson."

[kid_flash_found]

"No, clone of Superman. He was part of a project to replace the Man of Steel, but he broke out before he was fully mature," Bart said. "With only two living Kryptonians on Earth, there's not much chance of either of them having kids."

[vivifier]

"Half-Kryptonians aren't a possibility?"

[kid_flash_found]

"Not really," Bart said "They're not similar enough to humans to make interbreeding really viable. And even if they could, would you expect a second generation cross? You're a scientist, or at least you should be."

[vivifier]

"I have to imagine that the Kryptonians that sent the cousins to earth had some sort of backup plan for that." A secret DNA reserve, for instance.

[kid_flash_found]

"Not that I ever heard."

[vivifier]

"Why would you? You're not one of them."

[kid_flash_found]

"Dude, we talk about things. Most of the time."

No, he's not bringing up the other best friend who took ages to even tell them who he was.

[vivifier]

"Really? You talk about whether or not you keep stores of reproductive DNA?"

[kid_flash_found]

"Believe it or not, it's come up." Thanks, Tim.

[vivifier]

"That's...surprising."

[kid_flash_found]

"It was a really rough year."

[vivifier]

"Apparently so." Some kind of year, he imagines.

[kid_flash_found]

"My team is an alien clone, a daughter of Zeus, a cyborg, and those are the ones you can describe quickly. I'm not sure how to explain Raven, because when I first ran into her, her body and soul were in two different places, and we had to kill the body. Her soul stuck around a little longer, though."

[vivifier]

Give him a minute to catch up on all of that, Bart. "...a daughter of Zeus?"

[kid_flash_found]

"Yeah. Boy, was she pissed about that one. But then, she always had a temper," Bart said, shaking his head a little. "Did you think I was exaggerating about knowing gods?"

[vivifier]

"Well...no. Maybe?" Probably, sorry Bart.

[kid_flash_found]

"You guys have such a nice, uncomplicated world. It's like a vacation." And one that probably won't end with him being used as a snowboard.

[vivifier]

"Absolutely not."

[kid_flash_found]

"I haven't seen anything beyond low level aggression between various historical factions who got sucked in. Although watching a cavalry charge between Knights Templar and a Mongol raiding party was interesting, in an utterly brutal way."

[vivifier]

Pausing. "Oh. You mean this world."

[kid_flash_found]

"What I've seen of it, yeah. I would have thought a world with so few heroes to go around would be more chaotic, not less."

[vivifier]

"Well, I wouldn't know. I just got here, didn't I?"

[kid_flash_found]

"Oh, right," Bart said. It has slipped his mind in the whiplash of meeting a second version of his grandfather who wasn't. "Well, Gideon is setting people up with the basics, cell phone, apartment, that kind of thing. I moved out as soon as I got something a little more homey, though."
