[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!

[wake up in the morning feeling like

luke skywalker after he got his hand chopped off because holy fucking shit her hand is gone. what the fuck. what the fuck???

She... eventually stiffly walks out of her room, albeit pale in the face and with her lips a little fucked up from biting down to muffle her scream, but she has enough carefully trained poise to walk through the hallway propelled by well-contained but still somewhat perceptible fury in search of the management.

If she spots you. Well.]

Are you responsible for this, and if not, can you direct me to the one who is?

B

[...fine, alright, so she had to get adjusted to a new meals schedule.

...

That was a must, because... look at this. She's opening up the silver package and what the fuck. this is disgusting. she's paralyzed by how gross this appears. how can she subject her refined palate to this.]

C

[...What's going on with the Holo Deck? It's... kind of changing. Repeatedly. It goes from one locale, to another, to another... kind of like a TV where the remote's being held by someone who's bored with literally everything on TV.

...well, eventually, it's pretty obvious that the culprit is Sola, so... uh. Do you want to take the reins, maybe. Or at least let her know this is giving you motion sickness or something.]

A

[yurifriends]

[Excuse you. She wouldn't cut someone's hand off! Not that she even notices that right away, anyway. Yuriika carefully raises both of hers (aren't you jealous) in a 'not me' gesture.]

I'm afraid that will be a little difficult.

[perfectmoebullseye]

...ah. Well, it is a bit presumptuous to assume the first person I see isn't in roughly the same position I am, but...

[...waves. the missing hand.]

I'm not exactly in the best of circumstances at the moment.

[yurifriends]

[Well. That certainly is a thing.]

Shock affects us all differently.

[But just stepping back a little.]

[perfectmoebullseye]

Yes. Certainly.

I take it... you're not missing anything.

A

[thetempestsync]

[ he's just going to be crossing his arms. ]

Even if I could, I wouldn't bother.

[ fun times. ]

[perfectmoebullseye]

...

So assuming I found out, I'm sure you wouldn't mind if I didn't bother telling you, then.

[thetempestsync]

[ Wow that's cheating!!

He's going to be the mature one here-- ]

Like you actually would find out anything.

[ --okay actually not really. ]

[perfectmoebullseye]

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

[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.

[perfectmoebullseye]

Oh, I don't doubt that for a second. No matter how perfect someone thinks their setup is, it's only a matter of time before someone can figure out how to exploit it.

[thetempestsync]

Exactly.

[ He takes a look around this... ship. ]

...I suppose you're going to continue going around and asking for others to help in landing you a hand in the meanwhile?

[gotadealforyou]

[From behind, when one is quite incensed, it's rather easy to mistake Garfield for anything other than what he is. He does look vaguely human-shaped, and his hat and robes hide his ears and tail quite well. As soon as he turns (which he does as soon as his attention is drawn,) it is very clear that he is a different creature all together. He smiles as Sola approaches]

Well, that is a rather difficult question to answer! [his smile stretches wider] For what malady, exactly, are you searching for an explanation?

[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.

[gotadealforyou]

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

[perfectmoebullseye]

[opens mouth

closes mouth

ponders a moment.]

...

Can you procure a hand of some sort.

[gotadealforyou]

[ooooo Garfield's ears perk up at that, clearly interested] Perhaps...but I can't just go off and get a hand for you without any sort of agreement!

[perfectmoebullseye]

Well, of course. Nothing in the world is free, after all.

[She crosses her arms and sizes him up.]

What would you be looking for, then? ...and firstborn children are off the table, since that's not my choice anyway.

B

[misanthropicprinciple]

You get used to it.

[Says Junpei, shoveling down rehydrated noodles like the lifeless college dropout he is.]

[perfectmoebullseye]

Do you really?

[misanthropicprinciple]

Or you blow out your taste buds permanently. I mean, either way.

[perfectmoebullseye]

...

I guess it could be advantageous in some situations.

[...let's see, she'll see if she can find some instant noodles because fuck if she can cook for herself]

[misanthropicprinciple]

Good way to save money.

[He leans back in his chair and tries to see what she's doing.]

Looking for something?

[perfectmoebullseye]

...well, are there any more of those noodles you have there, I suppose. They don't look particularly difficult to prepare.

[misanthropicprinciple]

...

Shelf on the far side of the sink, left end. Just add hot water and wait three minutes.
