[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!

...What's a Nevada?

[Ha ha, he's not embarrassed at getting caught like this, what are you talking about?]

[perfectmoebullseye]

It's telling that you forgot the lettuce and gold leaf side salad, you absolute barbarian.

[misanthropicprinciple]

Okay, most of me's assuming you're making a rich people joke, but I also can't one hundred percent discount the possibility that gold leaf is bourgeois parlance for, like, heirloom cabbage. So I'm going to have to ask that you give me all your money immediately for the damage I incurred having to think about the very real chance heirloom cabbage exists.

[perfectmoebullseye]

Or it's a family obligation, because if they don't name their firstborn Nigel their uncle will never speak to them again.

[misanthropicprinciple]

Uh, a U.S. state? Very sandy, driest desert in North America.

[protectandselfserve]

...you know... you may have an idea there!

[perfectmoebullseye]

Oh, come now, it's not like I have any money here, anyway.

...

Besides, heirloom cabbage looks kind of purplish, anyway.

[SHE'S ENJOYING THIS MORE THAN SHE SHOULD BE]

[nojohnyouare]

Do you think?

[she just said the first thing that came to mind]

[misanthropicprinciple]

[Junpei puts both his palms firmly on the table.]

No.

[Heirloom cabbage?? WHY ARE RICH PEOPLE LIKE THIS.]

[perfectmoebullseye]

You can deny it all you like, but it doesn't stop it from existing, you know.

[protectandselfserve]

Well, it could be aliens.

[stare...................................................]

Haha, like that'd ever happen!

[nojohnyouare]

Aliens... I would take demons. Fairies, maybe. A lot of creatures you hear about kidnap people, but in the stories, they usually just kill them. I don't know about aliens.

[misanthropicprinciple]

Humanity was a mistake.

THAT'S SO CUTE

[everylittlesecret]

That would be a good idea-

[....... Okay.

What.

What?

It takes a moment for her to figure out what just happened. This... She's game! She's up rather quickly, aaaaand Queenie better run fast. This girl is no slowpoke.]

[serrata]

[ ... goodness. Um. As charmingly familiar as seeing someone attack their food with so much enthusiasm is she can't help but feel like this girl is going to choke and they're going to have a body discovery on their hands if someone doesn't step in. ]

Ah... are you sure you wouldn't want that... prepared with something? Instead of just meat by itself?

[ at the very least, maybe it'll slow her down enough to actually taste it. ]

E

[serrata]

As motives to kill go, it's not particularly... motivating?

[ Yuuri doesn't sound convinced at least. She can't really imagine that having to go on an awkward date would be bad enough to spur someone into actually spilling some blood. ]

How do they even pick out your "worst enemy", anyway? And how would they arrange a date? It feels like they haven't thought this one out all that well.

[goteachother]

1995?! [Wide-eyed and immediately excited.]

That's amazin! Gosh, I wish I could read ya.

D

[serrata]

[ ... well this feels... uncomfortably familiar. Yuuri's face immediately falls and her body language makes a very definite turn for guarded. ]

Hello, Kawasumi-san... um... what exactly is this...?

[goteachother]

Oh I dunno, you do alright. [Queenie, flirting? Never~ He is awful handsome though.]

Mmm? Oh, naw, I ain' got nothing special I was wantin to see. This is plenty relaxing enough fer me. [Beaches are always relaxing. It's just too bad she can't actually get some sun.

[goteachother]

[Queenie is used to people taking themselves too seriously. Her sister does it constantly and this, cute ridiculous games from their childhood, was always an excellent way to make Tina unwind.

Of course she should have thought about her terrain a little more before she started this. After a few steps the delicate buckles on her heels unfasten themselves so she can step out of her shoes, which immediately rise to her hand, and run barefoot across the "forest" floor laughing the whole time.]

[serrata]

[ And here is Yuuri, also casually inspecting a packet labelled 'ginger beef'. She doubts very much it tastes much like ginger beef but. She's never been one to shy away from stuffing herself with preserved food. ]

It's definitely edible, I think, but whether or not it tastes any good is another question altogether, isn't it?

[ she gives him a smile. ]

Have you tried any yet?

[perfectmoebullseye]

It's both more and less interesting than you'd think, I imagine.

...with that said, though... read me? As in... go through my memories or something?

[...because let's face it, mages are shady and it's pretty easy to jump to a conclusion like that.]

[brokencode]

[If a siren chokes on a space station, and no one actually committed a crime, does it really make a sound? Or... something like that.]

[Angel's attempts at devouring her food slowed, gaze flicking about as if she was trying to shake off a daze. When she settled on the young woman, Yuuri if she was remembering the profiles correctly, a faint blush crept over her cheeks.]

Ah, I... thought I was alone. [She cleared her throat, glancing down at her plate and back up once more.] Sorry, what was it that you were saying?

comes back to this 84 years later

[plugout]

[ Oh, god. He really hopes she doesn't choke, he's not qualified to--

Dodged a bullet there, Rhys, good job! ]

Hey. [ He gestures to the food. ] Must be pretty good, huh?

throws a heart shaped locket into the ocean, just 4 u

[brokencode]

[A burning sensation spread through Angel's cheeks. She looked between man and food, realizing that her entire display had been noticed.]

I. Yes it's ... [She opted to quickly nod instead.] Sorry, who are you?
