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!

Beats me? Alcohol does get better with age so I'd guess it would keep fine. I'd be willing to take the risk if we can find some.

[Her world isn't high tech, how is she to know?]

[misanthropicprinciple]

I didn't even consider the possibility of a beerless existence... god.

[Time to scour the fuck out of this space-place.]

[beersensei]

Definitely ranks up there among fates worse than death.

[misanthropicprinciple]

Yeah, absolutely. I'd rather swallow a bomb.

[That's... Okay, Junpei, you choose your weirdly specific method of execution, I guess. He sighs loudly and tries to settle, glancing at the other member of this search party.]

What's your poison? Lights, darks?

[beersensei]

[Well, Sara is just going to take it as a weird saying.]

At this point, I'll even take wine if that's all that's available. But if I had to pick... I'd say dark. More flavor that way.

[misanthropicprinciple]

More calories, too, isn't it?

[beersensei]

Might not want to mention that to a lovely young lady like myself.

[Her profile says she's 25, btw. Take that as you will.]

[misanthropicprinciple]

[Well, Junpei's profile says he's 22, if she's had a look at it yet. Should he be calling her Nee-san?]

Hey, enjoy it while you've got the metabolism for it, right? Life is short.

[beersensei]

[At least that's better than some things she could be called being a instructor and all.]

My thoughts exactly. A shame the vice-principal doesn't seem to agree with me there.

[misanthropicprinciple]

Bosses. [He rolls his eyes.] Am I right?

[beersensei]

More like a stick in the mud who thinks he's more important than he is.

[misanthropicprinciple]

Wannabe bosses. Even worse.

[Shakes head.]

Have you tried telling him he's not your real mom?
