[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!

Comments

[...that's...

...she feels kinda weird about this.]

Right, then. I'm Sola-ui Nuada-re Sophia-ri. Charmed, I'm sure.

[...]

Do you need a hand, or...?

[brokencode]

[Angel was quick to lift her hand, waving off the woman as her cheeks quickly turned a bright shade of red. Better to not make a bigger deal of this than Angel herself already had.]

[Instead, she set to pushing herself to her feet, and breathed a sigh of relief when her weak knees didn't collapse beneath her.]

That... is a lot of names. Is there any one in particular that I should call you for short?

[perfectmoebullseye]

Oh, well, I suppose Sola-ui is fine if you wish to be casual. I don't really expect people to throw all three out if they're unfamiliar, after all.

[...she crosses her arms, trying to hide the fact that the hand she almost reached out is, uh, missing.]

[brokencode]

Sola-ui [Angel nodded, mouthing it silently for a few moments in order to get a feel for it. The woman seemed a touch formal, if not bordering on gruff. It would be better for her, then, to avoid mispronouncing her name.]

It's a lovely name.

[perfectmoebullseye]

It is what it is.

[she felt personally attacked watching star wars.]

...Really, though, you do seem like you've been having some difficulty. Are you injured?

...

Moreover, do you have any injuries you don't actually remember acquiring?

[brokencode]

I... haven't had much time to take stock, really.

[The siren held her hands out, studying them as if they might provide an answer. To her surprise, they actually seemed to. The siren hadn't spent much time staring at herself but... she recalled that her veins weren't nearly so prominent, nor as purple.]

Odd... [Her voice was hardly louder than a whisper.] That's... I suppose then that I have noted some differences.

[perfectmoebullseye]

...hm.

[what the fuck......]

Well. I suppose that's something to look into, then.

[brokencode]

[Her head tilted to the side, brows drawing together.]

What have you noticed...?

[perfectmoebullseye]

Well, I wasn't missing one of my hands the last I remember.

[it's fucked up, but she's gotta at least try and maintain that Elegance and Composure]

[brokencode]

That's... very startling.

[She studied what she could see of both Sola-ui's limbs, as if they might somehow reveal some answer that the woman had missed.]

You remember nothing at all? Really?

[perfectmoebullseye]

Not as far as what happened, no.

[...how open about this should she be...

...

she can vague it up, sure.]

The situation I was in that I last remember... well, I was "safe," I suppose, but it could have definitely gone south.
