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.

"Yeah." The boy nods. He considers telling her though, the name he's long since left behind. "Most people call me Shad." He rather liked the shortened nickname. It was efficient and had a easy ring to it. Given his personality it worked for him. "Do you really want to know my name?"

[justanitgirl]

She thinks about that. She's curious, but it's not something that's a burning question. If he wants to be Shadow, then he's Shadow. "If you want me to know. I just ... thought your mane sounded kinda like a housecat."

[orions_shadow]

"It's not like it's embarrassing. It's just not me anymore." Maybe he'll tell her later. Apparently it was christmas soon if that little village he visited was any indication. "It's Matty." He says finally, but pulls a face. "Just don't call me that."

[justanitgirl]

She doesn't look particularly shocked or anything. Maybe Shadow looks like a Matty, perhaps not. She really can't be too sure, and it doesn't matter anyway. His name is his own to decide. If he wants to be called Matty, then she'll call him that. If he prefers Shadow, then she'll call him that. "Alright."

[orions_shadow]

"Anything else you need?" He picks up something that has interesting packaging and then sets it back because it's basically useless to him. He was getting hungry. "Been to the space ship yet?" That was even more important, he thought. All this junk he didn't have any connection to, except maybe that time he went to a tech store... with a bat. He will not be telling Felicity that story.

[justanitgirl]

The store isn't that impressive, but she neither expected not needed it to be. This wasn't the time to be messing with advanced tech. Not yet anyway. Browsing through the specs of each laptop, she landed on one that wasn't bad, at least it would do for now until she could build what she needed. "The Waverider?" She nods a little as she takes her things to the register. "Yeah. Have you?"

[orions_shadow]

"A little while ago. Didn't really know what to do with it." He actually assumed there'd be hostiles onboard so he went the other way and hasn't been back yet. No reason to get caught up in a fight with something like the Rikti right now. "Is it your ship?"

[justanitgirl]

She shakes her head. "Some friends of mines. Course, I haven't seen any of them either. Which is weird since they're kinda partial to it and all."

[orions_shadow]

"Maybe you should go find them." He replies, thinking back to the super hero cave they'd just found. He figured she must know a few otherwise she wouldn't do their computer stuff. "It's over this way." He remembers that much.

[justanitgirl]

"I'm sure they'll be fine on their own." She is not worried about any of the teams. Besides, if they were here they'd contact her.

[orions_shadow]

"What about you? Bet you're a pretty good snack for a T-rex." He jokes, then starts heading for the door.

[justanitgirl]

"I know how to hide." She's not going to pretend to be strong or fast or anything that her team or the others can be. She's smart though. Smart enough to stick to the shops and areas she can hide. Places that are less likely to get her into trouble that she can't get out of.

[orions_shadow]

"Smart enough to know that, even if a T-rex can't see you, they can smell you, right?" Because that was the fatal flaw of the logic of Jurassic Park after all. "Try hiding from a plant monster sometime."
