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!

[Of course with Sharon's other employer besides the Reinfords she can think of a few ways that would be very possible. She's just not going to say as much and give away that she is anything besides the Reinford family's maid. Still, a maid for someone as important as Madam Chairman should have some knowledge of how to deal with potential threats so she could say a few things.]

That would depend entirely on the method used and our state when it happened. I certainly would have a hard time remembering something that happened while I was asleep.

[Her tone is pleasant enough as she says this, as if she's not overly bothered by the fact that someone may have kidnapped her in her sleep.]

I was awake, I remember that much. But I suppose they could've put me to sleep, it's not like I have any special resistance to that sort of thing.

[It says something about his life recently that he's actually considering the possibility of status effect Ethers right from the start.]

But the Dammerung was on lockdown, it's not like it would've been easy for someone not affiliated with Vector to get in and then leave with an unconscious victim. Why would someone go to all that trouble, just to gather people and try to make them kill each other?

[bondagemaid]

I admit my only knowledge about vectors is that they have something to do with physics. I leave that sort of thing to Madam Chairman or Master Gwyn. I'm just the Reinford family's maid and currently Class VII's caretaker.

[So that amounts to, why bother with a mere servant to a common businesswoman who is currently serving a bunch of students. She may not be an ordinary maid that someone could easily get the drop on, but she pales in comparison to many powerful people she knows.]

You've never heard of Vector Industries? How is that even possible? They're the biggest company in the galaxy.

[bondagemaid]

I can assure you that I know all of the competition, potential or otherwise for the Reinford Company and I certainly have heard nothing about a Vector Industries.

[want_a_vacation]

And I've never heard of this 'Reinford Company.' If you're trying to pull a joke, it's not a very convincing one. And is now really the time?

[bondagemaid]

I certainly would not joke about my employer. I serve the Reinford family, who currently own the Reinford Company. The Reinfod Company is the foremost in orbal technology, especially in the field of weapons and transportation.

What's...Orbal technology?
