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.

[Other voices check in. Familiar and some Mick's never heard before.

By the time he's rounding the side of the Waverider he's got his heat gun drawn, a scowl on his face and ash and dust scattered across his jacket. Clearly he's had a few run-ins with unfriendly locals in his drive to get back to the ship and to Sara.]

So what the hell's going on? Why aren't we able to get in?

[strongerthanyouknow]

Sara's head turns in the direction of him, and far be it for Mick to say hello or Sara to say it back, when he can throw a question and she can cut her eyes in that direction (catching his expression, the gun, and that start of his clothes all in it), while sounding shortly annoyed.

"If I knew that, I'd be inside the ship already, Mick."

That there are no boys in blue suits to fix this problem is annoying, but not as annoying about thinking about needing them, again. She's not about to even start saying she needs anyone, no less the Time Flunkies, this early.

[bringstheheat]

It's fine. She can be annoyed all she wants, because frankly Mick is just as annoyed with the situation. An hour and a half ago he was in his room with a beer and doing his level damn best to avoid Leo Snart and his touchy feely smiles.

"So where the hell are we? Or when?"

[strongerthanyouknow]

The great part about it is there isn't any real anger, but she can still snap at him. Ray wouldn't get it, and Martin wouldn't appreciate it, and Mick just rolls the damn hell with it. Letting it breathe out from her, even as it only prickles harder. The annoyance and the relief that she isn't alone, and her team is starting to report in.

"Los Angeles, 2017, or something like it." Sara frowned and looked around them. "Something worse, maybe."


There's a narrow of her eyes, and the cross of one arm, as she's looking across the street at things in the distant sky line. Was that -- the Eiffel tower? "Do you remember it having this much in it? Because I feel like more's getting dragged in every time I'm not looking."

[bringstheheat]

Mick is used to rolling with things. He fights when he needs to, but this isn't one of those times. Right now they can snap back and forth while trying to figure out what fresh hell they got dumped into.

"2017. Again. We're back in Los Angeles." Yeah, that's not good.

"No. This ain't the same as what happened the last time." So maybe they aren't in a pairofducks after all. Good. "I ain't seen any of those Time Bureau pigs either."

[strongerthanyouknow]

"Me either." There's annoyance, but more than they're on their own in someone's remake of the playground time crash that already was handled. Being unhandled to even worse state than it was put into by all of them to begin with.

Because it adds to the crap pile. But transparency was the lay line. "Gideon's locked down the ship, too."
