test drive meme
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!
Taako | The Adventure Zone | Champion Wizard
[Well isn't this an unexpected development. All the chrome is really not his style at all, honestly. But hey, when it comes to new adventuring locales, beggars can't be choosers. Because clearly that's gotta be what's going on here, this is just... some new place to go find another relic, kill some more bad guys, all that good stuff. Makes sense to him, even if he doesn't really remember getting here.
Except he's not really one for solo adventuring these days, which means he's missing two key elements here. Which means asking around. And that means stopping whatever rando is wandering around here so he can question them.]
Um, excuse me. Yeah, hey, I don't suppose you've seen a big, buff human guy around here? Impressive sideburns? Or an old dwarf cleric. Either or, I'm not particularly picky right now, though the set would be great.
( b - kitchen )
[So obviously Taako was gonna make his way to the kitchen at some point, that's not even a thing anyone was doubting. But then he actually inspects everything in it and, well. There's a lot of disappointment here. He's just opening one of those packages, eyeing the contents with quite some distaste.]
You know, I might be a culinary wizard and all, but uh... I don't think even I can really work with this? Yeah, not even gonna try spicing this up, sorry. Guess I can consider my cooking plans just thrown right out the window.
[Hey, you. Whoever you are. Are you nearby? Because Taako just sort of tosses the package at you, not caring if you catch it or not.]
But hey, you can just go ahead and chow down on that instead and we'll call it a day.
b for because like fuck i'm passing this opportunity up
god bless you
Ummm... heh, wow you're just leaping to all sorts of conclusions there aren't you, compadre? [Man you know what would be great, if literally anyone else from home was-- okay maybe not, like, literally anyone, but someone else, maybe.] I'm Taako, I can spice up anything if I really try, but I'd like it to be worth the effort, kay thanks.
I mean, listen, do you really want spiced up dried whatever-the-hell-I-just-threw-at-you? Because something with actual, y'know, ingredients would be much better.
no pan bless YOU my dear
[Garfield settles his elbow on the table and props his face on his paw, smirking in Taako's direction] A real magic user can find a way to make do in any situation. I know I have before.
no subject
[The whole lacing state of the kitchen as it were...]
Oh, trust me my man, you are definitely making it real tempting to blow a spell slot on something right about now.
[Man Garfield, you're just pressing all the buttons right about now. Though of course Taako still isn't sure exactly how much he cares. Because yeah, pride as a wizard and a chef, sure, whatever. But also, well, it's Garfield.]
But you know I'm literally the champion of wizards, right? [Apparently, anyway. Like hell he's complaining about the title he was given anyway.] You got that memo? Because I'm pretty sure they don't give out that fancy title to just anyone.
1/2
2/2
no subject
Oh, right, yeah. 'Cause, y'know, that's so new for me. Never been around so much murder before, nuh-uh.
A
Haven't seen any other LARPers around. Good on you for sticking to your fantasy guns in the space station, though.
[ ... she's close??? ]
no subject
Ummm, yeaaah, no. I'm gonna need you to take that train of thought that led you here and derail it, 'cause I'm being legit here.
no subject
[ SHE SIGHS. ]
I haven't seen them. Sorry, uh...
[ She scans the profiles on her PIP, and...... ]
... Taako.
no subject
[Look you can't slap "fantasy" before a shitload of nouns and not know you're from a fantasy realm. It just happens to be normal.]
That's my name, don't wear it out.
Except uh, nah, do wear it out, just tell like absolutely everyone. I'm all for spreading the word, y'know.
no subject
Do they have burritos in your fantasy world, Taako?
no subject
Can't say that's ringing any bells. Sort of a random question, isn't it? Not that I ever object to random, but still, my curiosity has been piqued.
no subject
[ All the syllables in the world clearly happened to wrap into a great coincidence, holy shit. ]
We have something similar to them called a taco where I come from, hence my question, but if someone asked me "do you have kinzies where you're from" it would've confused me. Probably.
(no subject)
a
Sideburns, did you say? Hm...
[And it's gone in an instance, replaced by a mischievous smile.]
Yeah, nope! None of the above! Sorry, buddy! But oh, do let me know if you've happened upon a dastardly and rather busty daemon or a somewhat annoying twintailed exorcist. They're probably crying out in despair, "Oh, Magilou! What will we ever do without you, Magilou?" Like that.
[Enjoy this overly dramatic witch with pointy ears? Or at least tolerate her. That's what most people do.]
no subject
Sounds like quite the little gang you've got there. A real ragtag bunch, but, well, isn't it always? I feel you, though, I'm sure my gang is missing me something awful. I mean, who wouldn't.
Guess they'll just have to sit tight for now.
no subject
[She says with a full smile.]
I mean, I have absolutely no idea who you are! Not that it'd make much a difference, you know, but to stand in front of the magnificent Magilou without introducing yourself? Pshah! Who do you think you are? You're certainly not an exorcist!
no subject
Hah, I should get that printed on a business card.
no subject
[Magilou curtsies, ending with a Magikazam pose.]
You happen to be speaking with the Champion Witch, Mazhigigika Miludin do Din Nolurun Dou! Or Magilou for short, as you already know.
Although you're lucky the Abbey isn't around to hear about you dabbling as an exorcist! Why they might just burn you at the stake! Oh, that's more my thing, isn't it?
no subject
Well, only so much dabbling as "I fought some ghosts once". But that counts, right? Pretty sure that counts.
(no subject)
(no subject)
A
Hey... you wouldn' happen ta- [Ah but what if he's just a no-maj? This is so balled up!] No, s'pose ya wouldn' huh? This is quite the mess, ain't it?
Almost feels like we got here by magic or somethin... [Ahahahah not like she's a witch or breaking the statute of secrecy or- Mercy Lewis, please be a wizard.]
no subject
[My, she seems like a nervous one, doesn't she?]
Oh no, yeah, I feel you there, sister, this whole bizz is just about screaming magic involvement. Definitely gonna call it now and say a wizard did it. Or... or you know, some other magic specialist, I don't wanna discriminate here. Sorcerer, warlock, whatever.
no subject
Thank goodness! I was worried I mighta been the only one. [She steps closer, reaching out to put a reassuring hand on his arm. They're in this together now, doncha know.]
This all seems so crazy. D'ya think...Grindelwald? [Hushed and conspiratorially, as though saying his name might somehow summon him.]
A
... I have no idea what either of those things look like. At all.
[What is Taako even supposed to be? A Grey Faerie? No, he had never seen a male faerie in his life. That can't be it!]
