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!

I would expect a little more out of a high-profile kidnapping. Some manner of terrifying threats out of our culprit, or at minimum a less cavalier attitude about restricting their captives' movements.

[nojohnyouare]

They did tell us to meet them. [She nods toward the nearest loudspeaker.] I don't understand either. ...High-profile?

[scourgingstars]

Oh--have I failed to properly introduce myself? My most humble of apologies.

[He sank into a deep bow accompanied by a flourish of his arm, though it came paired with a smirk that made the gesture look less than sincere.]

Ardyn Izunia. Chancellor of Niflheim under Emperor Iedolas Aldercapt. In short, I find myself unsurprised I would be targeted for an abduction of this nature. The fact that it appears to have been a success, however, is almost impressive.

[nojohnyouare]

[head...tilt.]

So you'd have guards. Why would they risk it?

oops

[scourgingstars]

I can't begin to guess. I'm hardly under guard at every second of the day, but this seems a highly unlikely situation at the least.

he is the noodle man

[nojohnyouare]

They had a reason good enough to try. Whatever that was.

[She's got very little inflection in her voice, no change in her expression. She's also constantly looking around, like their captor will pop out.]

Kawasumi Mai. Hello.

[scourgingstars]

My fondest of greetings to you. Whatever the reason, it would appear that we are in this unfortunate situation together.

[nojohnyouare]

As Champions.

[She raises the arm with her PIP and starts to flip through the profiles.]

"Champion of Lucis." A person?

[scourgingstars]

...A country. I suppose that one could call it my homeland, in a sense.

[nojohnyouare]

[nods] Where you were from before, then. Since you mentioned another place.
