[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!

I've never had anything else, it's just never been left out in the open like this.

[He takes another look at Asgore. Terrible-tasting military food he's familiar with. Giant fluffy goat men less so.]

Are there not many humans where you're from?

[journalname]

None at all. They live rather far away from us - it has been a very long time since we had regular contact with them. Is this what humans are eating these days?

[He's seen the wrappers, but surely those are just snacks?]

[cameupshort]

Really? What part of the galaxy are you from, that's got to be somewhere on the Outer Rim, right?

[To have no contact at all...]

And I don't know about other humans, but stuff is pretty close to what we were given in- ...where I grew up.

[Not in the First Order. Definitely. Ha. Ha ha.]

[journalname]

The galaxy...? [What. He knows what a galaxy IS, of course, but what.] We live on Earth. Does that help?

Monsters make our food from magic, not physical matter such as this. But I am not skilled in that sort of magic myself... [So, uh. This is it for a while, then.]

[cameupshort]

I don't know where that is, sorry.

[Somewhere pretty backwater, if there's no humans at all, not that he's going to say that part out loud.]

...Magic.

[Um.]

[journalname]

Yes, like this.

[were you wanting him to summon a small flame in the palm of his paw, or]

I specialize in fire magic, myself - Boss Monsters tend to.

[cameupshort]

Whoa-

[Okay, taking a quick step back there.]

...Okay. Magic.

[So that's a thing.]

Okay.

[journalname]

[He closes his fingers over the flame to snuff it, looking faintly apologetic.]

I'm sorry, I did not mean to startle you. I suppose humans do not use magic much nowadays...?

[cameupshort]

Uh- not many, no.

[Kylo fucking Ren, man.]

Not like that, anyway. ...was that some kind of Jedi thing?

[journalname]

I'm...afraid I do not know what that means.

[cameupshort]

They were people who could- um. Do things.

[Thank you Finn, very descriptive.]

Like move things with their minds?

[journalname]

I suppose monster magic can do that. Everyone has different talents. I can also use some healing magic, if need be.

[And summon a gigantic weapon. That seems too threatening to bandy about, though.]

We also use magic to produce our food.

[cameupshort]

I don't really know what all they were supposed to be able to do.

[Yeah, might not wanna wave around the weapon-summoning abilities while you're in the murdercan.]

....I don't think they could make food out of nothing, though.

[journalname]

Well, it is made out of magic. [Which, from the outside, looks basically like making it out of nothing.] But we are capable of eating human food as well. It just isn't as efficiently digested.

[cameupshort]

Made of magic. Okay.

[That would sound pretty fake if he hadn't just seen that fireball trick.]

That would actually be really useful, I still don't completely trust this. Can humans eat magic food?

[Gesturing at their foodstocks with the packet in his hand.]
