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!

[It was clear that she had struck a nerve. She should have known better, saying something like that -- expecting someone else to lend their gifts for a cause that wasn't their own. If Junpei had said something similar to her, expected Angel to use her siren abilities to keep the station from tearing itself apart? She would have snapped too.]

[An apology was already forming on her lips when he spoke once more. His cracked through her like a whip. He had no way of knowing, not really, just how much each of those concepts (including daydreams) meant to her, how they had pushed her through a time not unlike this one. Deep down, she knew that his intention was far more superficial than that.]

[But rather than finish what she had started, rather than apologizing profusely to the man, her lips pressed into a thin line and she simply averted her gaze.]

You are right. [This was all she managed after the span of a few breaths.]

[He sees it and he's not sorry. He doesn't have room to be sorry, not when all he can hear in his ears is a siren blast ordering him to get out.

His knuckles are white on the edges of his meal tray.]

Don't tell the others.

[He doesn't want them coming up to him, coming after him, asking him to save them with powers Junpei doesn't have, to save them for reasons he doesn't care about. He doesn't owe the people here anything, he's never asked anything from them, he's kept to himself and isn't attached because if he couldn't trust that person, then...

Then he can't trust anyone. Human beings aren't as beautiful as he thought.]
