[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!

[ He laughs. He's had worse than a little fatigue... ]

I'll keep that in mind, thanks.

[bondagemaid]

[Well, she certainly didn't expect the invasion of her personal space, but at least it did get the job done.]

I certainly have never seen such a room to practice in before.

[nojohnyouare]

Okay.

[like she heeds that advice herself anyway]

...Lunch is soon.

[and she's just. walking off. linefacing all the way.]

[spacehans]

O...kay.

[ Hot food is nice. And he... also doesn't give a shit about whether someone (besides him) lives or dies. ]

Wait, you're gonna eat? Just like that?

[ He's a little impressed more than anything. ]

[nojohnyouare]

It's time to.

[Headtilt.]

They only serve it at certain times.

[spacehans]

Can't argue with that.

[ He shrugs. ]

Food it is.

[gotadealforyou]

I would! [he says, and yet makes no movement to do so] But first, we must engage in a contest of mercantilie wit!

[gotadealforyou]

Oh, well that's fine! I can wait until you sort them out! [and he just....stares at her. Expectantly.]

1/2

[gotadealforyou]

Oooo, an I.O.U., is it? A blank check? [he seems to be considering her offer with interest] If this was for a material item, I would absolutely refuse! Buuuuuut~

2/2

[gotadealforyou]

[amd Garfield pushes off the wall, drifting past her towards the opposite wall at an easy pace, just out of reach] these circumstances are a little different, aren't they? [he eyes her, shrewdly, as he nears the other wall] Are there limits to this favor? What can you accomplish?

[gotadealforyou]

[Morals? What are morals? This cat grew a second body in the back of the Fantasy Costco and has no probs asking for blood. Murder is small beans] Hmm~ I suppose! I'm more into making deals and saving people that good moolah, but everyone's got their pleasures!

1/2

[gotadealforyou]

[He is hardly perturbed by the reaction, but he does look up from the PIP so he can smile widely at her] Why, Im Garfield, the Deals Warlock! [he hums, looking pleased as he glances back at the PIP] Apprently I'm the Champion Deal Warlock, even! What a title!

2/2

[gotadealforyou]

[But right, attention back on the potential customer] Who are you?

[gotadealforyou]

Hmmm...[Garfield considers this information something of a glint in his eye] Do you require the orange to be paint?

[gotadealforyou]

Because otherwise I'll die! Of natural causes! [said brightly and cheerfully lol]

[gotadealforyou]

[no problem, buddy, that's what he's here for] Why, something either very bloody or very clever, of course! Or with a good motive! [he tsks, waggling his...finger????? Idk at Finn] It's just not good TV otherwise.

[gotadealforyou]

Oh, are you? I suppose space is a thing you're familiar with, then.

[gotadealforyou]

[No blue badger here my dude; this one's mouth moves and everything!] I can't say I know either way! Though we're not tied down, so I suppose that's a plus!

[isafraid]

No! Never!

[yeaaaaaaah]

[tacomeme]

A starship...

[There's a tone of wonder in his voice, partially like a child's, of course. But also a man that is eager to learn something]

I've read books about stars- mostly for navigation. But it's so hard to think of them as actual things you can travel to. That they are their own suns with their own worlds around them.

[The fact that he understands even that small fact is rather impressive, considering the level of advancement his world is clearly at still. Someone has been reading at the little library they were provided]

There's poems about the sky being like a sea... but I guess I never thought of it being so literal before coming here.

[tacomeme]

Yeah. Nothing... nothing real anyways.

[He sighs, annoyed with himself]

Just all in my head, so don't worry about it.

[desperateprayer]

J-Just don't worry about me. The life of a Netsuma is worthless, after all.

[ ..........Sorry, Taco, you're getting Issues spilled all over. ]

[yurifriends]

[Well. That certainly is a thing.]

Shock affects us all differently.

[But just stepping back a little.]

[tacomeme]

How do you know that?!

[He yells, still upset and lashing out]

[yurifriends]

That's one way of doing it. Rather morbid, though.
