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.

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.

2.
Hello? Is there anyone that is receiving this? Is this some kind of close network? Who else is on here? I'm Alex. From 2003 Earth, seems to have a rather different history than I've seen here, but it's also similar.

3.
Alex never has had a taste for fighting. Perhaps that's why it made so much sense for so many of his abilities to be protective in nature. That isn't to say he's without fighting capability. If any of the Mongols thought that the tall but frail looking kid wasn't, they were regretting it now. Alex had created what seemed to any but another empath an invisible shield around some of the protesters. He wields something else that would be invisible to most, long tentacles that rip swords and trip horses that dare approach him. A few even start fleeing in terror as he keeps fighting them off, only to regain their senses once they've gotten far enough.

The older teen is still growing tired as he fights, blood pooling on his sweatshirt as their arrows and swords add to his already numerous scars. He keeps urging them to leave, that there's better ways to fight back then letting themselves be killed, but quite a few seem to have no interest in his warnings. "Wh-what th-the!? H-how high are you all!? Get outta here!" He still fights to protect the protesters despite how close he seems to falling to them himself.

7.
Among all the holiday cheer is a boy alone, sitting on his phone at a coffee shop. Everyone around him is full of Christmas cheer, but he seems like he's in a world apart. He pulls his hood up to hide his expression as a family comes in, each one getting some kind of tasty treat. He quickly gets up and leaves, walking out with his eyes on his shoes, watching as tears drop to the ground. He leaves in such a rush it would be easy for him to walk straight into someone.

He sees that display, not exactly sure how all of those mongols are being torn asunder by invisible--- things. He can sense them, though his head is still throbbing from earlier, he rushes back into battle and reaches for the boy, trying to pull him down into umbral space so he can have a break from the chaos. Besides, all that blood loss can't be good for you.

Alex pulls away reflexively, though seeing a face that clearly was not Mongol, he lets himself get pulled away. He falls to his knees as the sounds of fighting fades to only an echo in his ears. He looks up to his rescuer, "W-was there any b-backup?"

Now they're floating in a black void, the only light coming from above them.

"Cops are coming. What's the matter with you, letting yourself get shot like that?" Shad says as he looks upon the boy with scorn, trying to see if he was really hurt or if he needed to get him medical attention.

Alex frowns, "I c-couldn't just let them g-get slaughtered!" He starts actually assessing himself for injury, moving things, wincing the whole way through. It seemed that only a few strikes actually cut into him, but one on his leg in particular was very nasty. It was hard to tell just how deep it was, only that the blood flow was slowed but not staunched by his jeans.

Shadow rumbles when he spots the blood and bares his teeth just slightly. Calling forth something from with in the void, he produces a web grenade and activates it. Unlike in regular space, it would scatter and entangle them both in stick web, but here it shoots straight up into a long rope like shape. He pulls it down and goes to the boy's ankle and wraps it up in the web.

"Not exactly ideal but.. Better than nothing. Might be sticky but you don't bleed out." Which was a plus. His stash of these were running thin and while the webbing made great bandages, they just weren't that great for anything else.

Alex tries to back up from the bared teeth, but lets Shadow bind his ankle when he sees no malice on him. "Wh-what is it?"

"It's spider webs. Fake ones, but it works." For closing a wound, just as good as gauze if not better. He works it around the boy's ankle like a bandage and then looks at him.

"You don't seem particularly bothered by the gaping hole in your leg..."

Alex looks away from Shadow's gaze, looking aside instead. "W-well, I... I-it's n-not too bad." Judging by the scars already on him, it seems that he's at least had wounds like this before. "I-it hurts, b-but a f-few days of h-healing, and it sh-should be fine."

The stuttering made Shad fold his ears back. Well, that sucks. A kid with all this power and none of the confidence to back it up, huh? He grunts and gives the web a tug so it stays.

"I'd lecture you on being reckless and stupid but I do the same sorta thing." He replies, supposing he acted the same way with his accelerated healing.

"Still kinda stupid though, just standing there."

Alex shakes his head at that, "I w-was protecting them. I d-don't know any other w-way ta do that."
