[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!

Comments

[nojohnyouare]

...It's uninteresting?

[nojohnyouare]

...

[Mai stops where she is and starts to look around the holodeck, as if checking if there's anything else still in there. She raises her sword, though not in Takumi's direction.]

[nojohnyouare]

...So it's good?

[????]

[nojohnyouare]

Better than the instant things.

[nom]

Is it like your home? The food.

[daughterofthemark]

I'm afraid not. I've never entirely understood astronomy or astrology.

[Although she can probably shock everyone working in either field with this new information.]

[tacomeme]

[He's confused at what she's doing at first... but when he realizes he turns even redder, embarrassed]

No- there's nothing else here. We're safe. I... damn it. I sleepwalk, okay? I think I came in here while asleep and probably told it to make something I didn't want to see. Th-that's all.

[nojohnyouare]

[She pauses, looks back at him, and lowers her plastic sword.]

Nothing attacked. ...Nobody.

[As if she needed to be reminded. The danger here was people, not "things."]

[daughterofthemark]

Perhaps... to isolate us?

[Arianna only barely understands how space works, which is reasonable since up until [REDACTED] ago she didn't really have an understanding of space as a thing that existed in the first place. But "we're really far away from absolutely everything," at least, is a concept she was able to wrap her head around.]

[maligknight]

[Oh no. That's definitely not a good tone.]

You were having nightmares again.

[nojohnyouare]

From even the people of this world.

...I don't know.

[honoraryembryon]

[ He gives a small smile. Oh, he counts that. He WAS that person. Drinking himself into an early grave because of it. ]

Of course it does. You could be doing something. Even if it's something small.

[honoraryembryon]

[ Okay he really can't explain you but look, he's seen weirder shit so he's not even gonna try. ]

Paint. Orange paint, actually. What I'm wearing isn't right without it.

[perfectmoebullseye]

And how are you planning on investigating this, hm? I'm curious.

[get_gone]

[He flashes Takumi a grin, trying not to be too obvious that he's incredibly pleased with himself for distracting the younger man from whatever had him hiding in a dark holodeck.]

More or less. I was uh- a starship when all this craziness went down. Things just keep getting weirder.

[cameupshort]

Probably some really remote part of the Outer Rim, if you've never had contact with the rest of the galaxy. Sorry.

[He didn't even think it was possible, really.]

...Earth doesn't even have hyperdrive tech, then?

[cameupshort]

I don't know where that is, sorry.

[Somewhere pretty backwater, if there's no humans at all, not that he's going to say that part out loud.]

...Magic.

[Um.]

[journalname]

Yes, like this.

[were you wanting him to summon a small flame in the palm of his paw, or]

I specialize in fire magic, myself - Boss Monsters tend to.

[perfectmoebullseye]

[Okay, is this someone who knows what's going on? She hopes it's someone who knows what's going on.]

Well, first...

[...and then. it catches up to her.]

...

I think there are a fairly significant amount of issues here, and I'm not exactly having the easiest time prioritizing them.

[protectandselfserve]

[





that's probably a costume right. sure. he's totally interrogated people in full fursuit before, because this is the ace attorney universe]

Ha ha ha, indeed it does! I think I'm more thrown off by the fact that it's a fairly pleasant kidnapping so far... if that's what this is, anyway.

[cameupshort]

Whoa-

[Okay, taking a quick step back there.]

...Okay. Magic.

[So that's a thing.]

Okay.

[protectandselfserve]

...

It could be worse, hahaha!

[nojohnyouare]

I suppose. [...] Mai.

D

[protectandselfserve]

[Well, this was a surprisingly fun holodeck romp! It's a nice way to spend an afternoon, anyway, navigating some labyrinthine ruin. Although, it was starting to get a little... overly solitary, perhaps?

... though, that didn't appear to be a problem anymore!]

My! Is this all your work, then?

[journalname]

[He closes his fingers over the flame to snuff it, looking faintly apologetic.]

I'm sorry, I did not mean to startle you. I suppose humans do not use magic much nowadays...?

[thetempestsync]

[ He stands a little straighter; despite their height differences he's exuding confidence. ]

If I look around hard enough, I'll find something. Those responsible for this are bound to get careless enough to leave something behind or let something slip.
