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!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[A]
[There's no way this is Speedwagon's bed. Or this room. It's too clean.

Where was his bed? His stuff? His mates? And the moment he's out of his room, he's already resoundingly lost.]

...Oi! You there! [He's pointing to... you?] Where the devil are we? One moment I close my eyes, the next I'm in a bed that isn't mine?

[B]
[While there will probably be folks that choose to forage through the kitchen for a meal, they might not do it so intensely as Speedwagon.]

Amazing! I've never seen anything quite like it...!

[...He's says to the refrigerator, opening and closing it repeatedly.]

[C]
[Help, someone help. There's a large man floating in the middle of the room, kicking and flailing and looking generally distressed as his long hair gets in his face.

He's trying his darnedest to reach one of the sides of the room, but it seems he's firmly rooted himself in the middle somehow.]

How the hell am I supposed to know?

[ he glares and then just crosses his arms. ]

Well... you're here too, aint you? [He really didn't expect an answer like that.]

Someone's got to know!

[ Everyday is a new experience...

Either way, he just scoffs. ]

Well, if someone does know, they'd hardly benefit from telling us much of anything, wouldn't they?

[It sure is.]

How do you figure that?

People who are in the know when it comes to situations like this tend to keep most helpful information to themselves so that they're in an advantage over others. So, I imagine you'll get a few who are playing dumb who'd know otherwise.

[ If he wasn't frowning before, he is now. ]

Just to make things harder, of course.

[He puzzles over that now, a look like he's not too happy crossing his face. Then again, who is in this situation?]

Hmm, how quick of ya to jump to a conclusion like that. [Not that he suspects anything...]

To tell you the complete truth, I don't know much of anything right now. So at least that's all you'll be getting out of me.

[ Only the evil mastermind... probably. ]

It's only a natural conclusion.

[ No it's only natural for Sync to think like this, but hey. ]

Well, for some reason I didn't expect much from you anyway. Your cluelessness seemed quite genuine, for now.

[Jim's leaning against a wall, eyeing the handy new device on his freaking arm. He looks up abruptly and for a moment he looks just as lost as everyone else. Then he covers it with a smooth smile and a careless shrug.]

Sounds like a good night to me. [A laugh that fades into frustration a little too quickly.]

Your guess is as good as mine, man.

[It's a strange little device that Speedwagon had spent several minutes trying to remove, to no avail suffice to say.]

Seems like a rather big mess then, if no one else can figure it out, then what is going on?

[He points to the device.] I see you've got one too, eh?

If I could access a single console on this damned ship I could tell you but- [He waved a hand at the distinct lack of access panels in places where he clearly thought there should be. In fact there might be some scuff marks on the wall that implied he'd kicked it earlier.]

Interesting concept, sure. Useful to have a PADD that you don't have to carry around. [A demonstrative tug at the device, carefully not enough to make things worse.] This seems like a bit much though. Isn't even anything useful on here.

Er, right. [He totally just understood roughly half of the things Kirk told him in that conversation. The mention of "consoles" obviously goes right over his year, but he tries to let it slide anyway.]

Now, hang on a minutes... It sounds like you don't think these things could be dangerous.

[He snorts and shrugs, clearly unconcerned. To be fair, the guy is allergic to so many things that breathing can be dangerous. It's all a matter of perspective.]

Everything's dangerous. So yeah, sure, there could be malicious programming involved but... [He taps at the PIP again, pulling up some of the information, eyes skimming over what's available for the dozenth time even as he continues speaking.]

As it stands there's not enough functionality in these things to cause too much trouble. 'Course I don't appreciate the whole... forcibly upgraded thing going on here.

...the cooling unit?

[It's. A little archaic looking, maybe, but nothing that amazing.]

....Is that what it's called? [Archaic? Tell that to the guy having a revelation here!]

It's amazing! Like a little winter in there. I aint seen anything like it before.

Yes?

[Probably? What even is Star Wars terminology.]

Have you really never seen one?

No! Never!

[yeaaaaaaah]

What- um. What planet are you from?

[A serious question, despite the phrasing.]

[ Man, guy from the past, you're weird. Have this not-at-all-weird individual cracking up. ]

Are you really from before refrigerators? Yeesh, makes me feel a little better for being before the whole space colony thing.

[Deserved or not, Speedwagon's pretty irritated by some random guy laughing at him.]

Hey! No need to laugh about it! All of this stuff us completely new to me.

[Lucky for you, Speedwagon, Garfield just happened to notice your issue as he was passing by, and has taken the liberty of stepping inside the anti-gravity room, his tail curled around the door handle to keep himself from floating away]

Uh oh! It looks like you've found yourself in quite the predicament over there, big fella!

[what the hell is that thing]

Oh.... now I know I must be losing it! [He's currently floating upside down, putting Garfield in an even... stranger position. the sight of Garfield, and the sensation of dizzying weightlessness, definitely seem like more clause for panicking to him.]

A talking cat! I've really lost it now!

Oh, no, don't be silly! I'm a Deals Warlock! Not a cat.

[he laughs can a high pitched giggle] A talking cat would be ridiculous!
