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!

...not yet, anyway.

If we're stuck here for any length of time, well... you know.

[misanthropicprinciple]

Sure, well, I figure if we're stuck here for any length of time, something else will kill us long before the sodium buildup. I've been living off fast food and instant noodles for more than four years now and I'm still kicking.

[perfectmoebullseye]

...entirely? You... don't look terrible for someone who's been living like that, honestly.

[misanthropicprinciple]

...Thanks? You don't look that bad yourself, ma'am.

[GURL.]

[perfectmoebullseye]

...

I mean you don't look like a desiccated corpse.

[misanthropicprinciple]

Nicest thing anyone's said to me since I dropped out of university. Careful, I might just fall for you.

[perfectmoebullseye]

...It's astounding, getting to learn how the other half lives..

[misanthropicprinciple]

So what kind of fare are you used to? Champagne and caviar for a light lunch?

[perfectmoebullseye]

It's telling that you forgot the lettuce and gold leaf side salad, you absolute barbarian.

[misanthropicprinciple]

Okay, most of me's assuming you're making a rich people joke, but I also can't one hundred percent discount the possibility that gold leaf is bourgeois parlance for, like, heirloom cabbage. So I'm going to have to ask that you give me all your money immediately for the damage I incurred having to think about the very real chance heirloom cabbage exists.

[perfectmoebullseye]

Oh, come now, it's not like I have any money here, anyway.

...

Besides, heirloom cabbage looks kind of purplish, anyway.

[SHE'S ENJOYING THIS MORE THAN SHE SHOULD BE]

[misanthropicprinciple]

[Junpei puts both his palms firmly on the table.]

No.

[Heirloom cabbage?? WHY ARE RICH PEOPLE LIKE THIS.]

[perfectmoebullseye]

You can deny it all you like, but it doesn't stop it from existing, you know.

[misanthropicprinciple]

Humanity was a mistake.
