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

[brokencode]

[Angel blinked at the man, both startled and embarrassed. She leaned back instinctively, fearing what threat he might have posed to her. She couldn't remember how long it had been since she'd actually seen a friendly face.]

[And yet... he didn't seem to harbor any ill intent. He poked fun at her, yes, but even that was better than what she'd dealt with over the past few years.]

I... Yes. [She nodded once.] Sorry, I did not mean to inconvenience you.

[myocordial]

You've done nothing of the sort. It was my own choice to stop for you.

But I'm glad you're alright. Still... [He did note that she leaned back, so he's careful as he reaches a hand out to her. An offer to help her up, one she's free to reject if she pleases.] I can't imagine the floor is very comfortable.

[Her first instinct was to shrink away from a hand sure to hurt her in some way or another. When it didn't, when it instead appeared to be ready to help, Angel was left to stare at it, altogether dumbfounded.]

[This wasn't at all what she expected the real world to be like.]

I think you might be right. [A small breath escaped her, one that could almost be construed as a laugh. Her fingers wrapped around the man's and she gingerly pushed herself up to her feet.]

Thank you, ah... [She trailed off, seeking the man's name.]

[myocordial]

[He nods at her as he helps her up. Ah, and then the obvious question, of course.]

Heart.

[You know, that super common name.]

And you would be?

[brokencode]

Heart. [An odd name, but pleasant all the same. And judging by his kindhearted behavior, a fitting one as well.]

It's lovely to meet you. My name is Angel.
