[airlockedmods]

Since we know a lot of people are ready and eager to start playing around in this setting, welcome to the official Airlocked Test Drive! For this test drive, we do have a posting format:

In the header of your comment, put your Character's Name and their Champion title. You don't have to put in the canon if you don't want, but you can if you feel the need.

And the guidelines we ask you to follow are, please try to include at least one prompt in your top-level to reply to, and if you make a top-level try to tag out to at least one other person. We want everyone to get a chance to give their choices a fair shake, after all.

Here are some examples to get you started:

A - Arrival
You wake up in a bed that's not your own, in a shiny chrome room that has bright fluorescent lights that light up along the floor as soon as your feet hit it and glowing sconces on the walls. Whether it's much different from what you're used to or not different at all, it's time to figure out where you are and more importantly, whether you're alone.

B - Mealtime
Well sweet, at least there's a cafeteria! But wait, it seems like there's only hot food during certain times of day. The rest of the time if you go foraging in the kitchen you can find weird silver packages with the name of food on the side that...definitely don't seem big enough to hold the food in question. If you open it up, it seems oddly dry...

C - Zero G
A zero gravity room! Awesome! The walls and floor are textured to give you something to hang onto to crawl across back to the control panel, but if you're floating in the middle of the room you might need someone to give you a push.

D - Holo Deck
A room where all your dreams come true. Kind of. In a photorealistic display of light and sound.

E - Anything else!
Or Create your own!

This is not an official reserve, nor does it guarantee a slot in the game, but if you do choose to app a character that you test drove, you can use two minimum 20-comment threads or one minimum 40-comment thread (so at least 20 total comments from your character) in place of writing a sample. So have fun with it!

[Garfield happens to have three empty packets spread out on the table in front of him, and he's licking at his paws with satisfaction] Why, of course!

C

[gotadealforyou]

I could be tempted, possibly. [Garfield is just gonna watch Felix bounce around for a moment, tracking his movements] You do look like you're having quite the time of it!

[mayvin]

[Her eyes light up in some sense of recognition.]

Sideburns, did you say? Hm...

[And it's gone in an instance, replaced by a mischievous smile.]

Yeah, nope! None of the above! Sorry, buddy! But oh, do let me know if you've happened upon a dastardly and rather busty daemon or a somewhat annoying twintailed exorcist. They're probably crying out in despair, "Oh, Magilou! What will we ever do without you, Magilou?" Like that.

[Enjoy this overly dramatic witch with pointy ears? Or at least tolerate her. That's what most people do.]

[gotadealforyou]

[If he cares to look around, Boris will spot a furry orange creature watching him with a wide smile]

Well! That was certainly an excitable awakening!

[tacomeme]

[That sure is a cat mage. Though he's seen fox and wolf people, so this isn't that strange]

I don't know, being kidnapped put me in a pretty bad mood.

[cameupshort]

It just- I don't know, it feels like a trap or something.

[gotadealforyou]

[lucky for you, good sir, Garfield just happened to be passing by and found it to his interest to poke his head in. Well, more than his head, really. He's stepped inside the chamber, staying within easy reach of the wall]

My, you look like you're having a grand old time there!

b

[gotadealforyou]

[Garfield, who is decidedly not human, seems to have just finished his and is cleaning his paws] I wouldn't know! I, however, find it delectable~

[gotadealforyou]

Good, good! That's an excellent place to start, seeing as that is a thing I can most certainly provide. [he stops his movement along the wall once he's gotten parallel with the spot where Arianna is hanging out, and regards her with interest] Now...what do you have to offer in return?

[gotadealforyou]

[cat warlock, tyvm. He cocks his head a bit in curiosity, studying Takumi] What, put off by something so small as a kidnapping? That hardly seems like anything to get so worked up over.

[gotadealforyou]

[there's laughter at that, high pitched and giggling] Oh! For something like food? That is far too simple a trap! I would thing that sort of thing would be far too simplistic for the persons that brought us here. After all, why go through the trouble of bringing so many different and fascinating creatures onboard such a place if the plan was to simply poison them?

No, no. That is not interesting at all. [he waves a paw he just finished cleaning, as if to brush away Finn's worries.]

[daughterofthemark]

[...shit. She probably should have seen that question coming.]

I don't... none of my possessions were brought here with me...

[daughterofthemark]

[!!! !!!!! !!!!!!!!!!]

People living on other planets! To think such a thing was true!

[cameupshort]

Yes?

[Probably? What even is Star Wars terminology.]

Have you really never seen one?

[protectandselfserve]

Yes, but with fancy digs and relative freedom! It's a step up from most kidnappings, in my experience.

[gotadealforyou]

Oh, no! Well, you'll just have to get creative, won't you~? After all, not all things to be traded have to be material!

[protectandselfserve]

Well, usually I'm the one investigating kidnappings rather than being kidnapped. It's an interesting new perspective!

[daughterofthemark]

Ah!

[Phew! ...BUT ACTUALLY STILL REALLY WORRIED]

Perhaps... an owed favor, then?

[cameupshort]

Do you, um-

[This conversation seems more surreal than waking up here to begin with.]

Do you know what part of the galaxy this 'Earth' is in?

[cameupshort]

That's- not-

[He was thinking more of some kind of arbitrary rules-lawyering trap, but thanks for the idea of poison, Garfield.]

...what would be interesting, you think?

[brokencode]

[The siren blinked, then allowed a grin to form on her lips. A response had been unexpected, but was certainly welcome all the same.]

I agree. [She thought about saying it was the best thing she had ever eaten but such praise was easy enough to obtain when it came to her. She was marginally certain she had even said it before.]

[journalname]

The galaxy...? [What. He knows what a galaxy IS, of course, but what.] We live on Earth. Does that help?

Monsters make our food from magic, not physical matter such as this. But I am not skilled in that sort of magic myself... [So, uh. This is it for a while, then.]

[nojohnyouare]

I don't know.

[Mai doesn't say a lot, usually. She's still keeping her expression blank, but she looks towards the door.]

Arianna. Wouldn't kidnapping people to another world be enough? Why space?

[nojohnyouare]

[Mai shrugs and hands it over.]

I guess. Why eat it if you don't know?

[lackinginfaith]

Gah-- [She steps back and boggles.] What are you?
