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!

[Every single one of your other siblings would probably disagree with that statement, Choromatsu. Karamatsu deserves to be on the floor. That's where shit belongs.

He opens his mouth like he's going to argue, but then closes it and looks away again, his fingers playing with the edge of the pillowcase on his pillow. It feels very stiff and starchy, like it's not been used...not at all like his own back home that has been slept on thousands of times.]

Mm, well...I suppose it would be easier to keep an eye on you, and keep you company, that way.

[shikosuki]

Still going on about that?

[ :| ]

[karappo]

[......]

Are you not...a little worried?

[shikosuki]

Of course I'm worried! We've been kidnapped! We're in SPACE!!

I'm... I'm sure the murder thing is just a p-prank... [ ha ha ha ] But you can't fake space like this!!

[karappo]

I am actually more concerned about the prospect of the whole murder thing, to be honest with you. Is this really the strangest thing to happen? We have been kidnapped before...most of us multiple times.

[Remember that one bit? The Saw bit?

...plus Karamatsu is. Definitely well versed in the art of being kidnapped at this point. Space is a bit newer, of course.]

Do you think someone would go to this much trouble to kidnap so many for a prank?

[shikosuki]

[ Actually no he doesn't. That was all you guys, he and Todomatsu avoided all because they're smart :V

But Karamatsu's... got a point ]

W-Well... n-no but...

[ don't go shattering this for him Karamatsu, it's all that's keeping a meltdown at bay ]

Th-There's no way any of them would do it...

[karappo]

[That's why he said most, after all. But it doesn't look like anything saved anyone, this time...if anything, the proposed kidnappings look entirely random.]

I am not saying anyone would, but...it is still worrisome that the suggestion is even being put out there. It is something only a madman would suggest.

[shikosuki]

Only a madman would put us all in space too.

Or... you know. Call us "Champions".

[karappo]

[Nice self burn there, bro.]

Speak for yourself! I find that to be nothing but fitting in my case.
