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!

[shikosuki]

...Eh? K-Karamatsu?

[ wait

this could be a trap

To be honest he debates just ignoring him so there's a silence for a while, but just before Karamatsu can get too antsy... ]

Say something only Karamatsu would say!!

[ or know. or whatever. PROVE YOU'RE NOT ACTUALLY CHAMPION OF VOICE MANIPULATION. ]

[karappo]

...Eh?

[What the hell kind of question-]

Something only I would say? You would doubt me being myself in a time such as this? I could be out here, in this hallway, breathing my last, and you would still deny me entrance...would you allow these to be my final words? Words of my dear sibling leaving his own flesh and blood out in the cold?

[shikosuki]

[ ......

okay that level of dramatic is DEFINITELY Karamatsu but ]

Just tell me when our birthday is, Shittymatsu.

[karappo]

[Oh.]

May 24th.

[shikosuki]

[ Okay that'll do it, he's getting off his bed now and opening the door ]

Come in. Quickly.

[karappo]

[He can do that, at least. Karamatsu wastes no time to slide into Choromatsu's room, despite his initial misgivings about actually letting him in.

...He's clutching his pillow tight to his chest because apparently he really didn't enjoy the thought of being left out there.]

[shikosuki]

...Why'd you bring a pillow?

[karappo]

...ah. I do have one, don't I?

[...]

So, Choromatsu.....I am staying with you tonight.

[shikosuki]

[ ...

......

.........

No.

[karappo]

[And just like that, Karamatsu's expression- so sure of himself- drops.]

E-eh? Why?!

[shikosuki]

BECAUSE YOU HAVE YOUR OWN BED, KARAMATSU!!

[karappo]

But-!

[BUT]

I have been so concerned for you, my little Brother...are you not lonely in here, all by yourself? Frightened, even?

[shikosuki]

Aren't you just describing yourself?!

[ I mean... he is scared but he's not admitting that ]

Where the heck are you even going to sleep if you stay here?!

[karappo]

For you...I would have braved the floor.

[Shut up you sleep on the floor every night.]

[shikosuki]

Right, sure. I don't buy it.

I'll wake up in the middle of the night and find out you couldn't "handle the cold feeling of being alone, brother" and snuck into bed with me.

[karappo]

I am serious! What reason would I have to lie about sacrificing my own comfort for the sake of saving you from soul crushing loneliness?

[shikosuki]

I'M NOT SUFFERING FROM SOUL CRUSHING LONELINESS, SHITTYMATSU!!

[karappo]

[Karamatsu takes a breath, like...he doesn't believe Choro and that this is just all an act.]

I know, I know...you are being very brave in tough times such as these. But I am here now! So there is no need to pretend for me. I will not tell anyone.

[shikosuki]

You're talking about yourself. You're just talking about yourself!!

That's the real reason you're here, isn't it?! The lonely one here is you!

[karappo]

[Karamatsu leans back on his heels a little and presses his hand to his chest, appalled- and it causes him to drop his pillow, which he quickly scrambles to pick back up.]

Moi? I already told you, I am concerned for you! That is why I bothered coming all this way!

[shikosuki]

[ oh my god bro, WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS ]

Well.

[ And he moves to push Karamatsu back towards the door ]

Then you can go all the way back, because your concern isn't needed!

[ see you fucking later bro ]

[karappo]

Wait- w-wait-!

[Karamatsu tries to dig in his heels so he can turn back around and face Choromatsu even as he's trying to jockey him to the door.]

You are just in denial! We simply do not...we have not been alone! You need me here for support!!

[shikosuki]

NO, I'M NOT!! [ ...okay maybe a little but that's not the point ]

STOP BULLSHITTING ME AND JUST BE HONEST SHITTYMATSU, OR I'LL THROW YOU BACK OUT!!!

[karappo]

[........his gaze narrows.]

You wouldn't.

[shikosuki]

Do I look like I'm lying, Karamatsu-niisan? [ STARTING TO PUSH AGAIN ]
