The Station: Test Drive




Welcome to the Station's Test Drive

Here, you will have the chance to try your character's voice out before apping them into the game. Feel free to play out in whatever means you would like - through the Station's communicators which are video and voice or either one alone, through action tags or prose, or whatever else you wish.

Please note that testing a character here does not guarantee that you have a reservation on that character. You may reserve a character HERE. Also note that this may be used as one of your samples for your application, though the mods may ask for more if what is provided is not considered sufficient. Finally, any thing played out on the test drive will not be considered character canon until after your character has woken up on the Station, as each character is given a unique scenario for their character's waking upon acceptance to the game.

Penelope Garcia - Criminal Minds

[personal profile] unmitigated_superiority 2014-01-30 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
Asleep. She must be asleep. They were investigating that super creepy psycho and she fell asleep on her keyboard. Any minute now she was going to wake up to the dulcet tones of Morgan teasing her about the imprint on her face. She might even forgive him if he brought her coffee and told her how brilliant she was.

There was clearly no other explanation for the fact that she appeared to be on some kind of ship that was definitely not current technology. "Hello?" Noticing what appeared to be a communicator on her wrist, she pushed the button and pulled a Buzz Lightyear, looking side to side as she whispered "There seems to be no sign of intelligent life anywhere."

Excuse me, but I'm most certainly intelligent and I'm here.

Yes, that is a text on her comm.

"Oh!" The blush could practically be heard through her exclamation. "Sorry. Always wanted to do that, and figured I was dreaming so might as well give it a shot. Who are you?" She still wasn't entirely certain that she was awake, so the where and when of her situation could be sussed out later. For now, she had a new piece of technology to play with and a sentient being that may or may not have been artificially produced.

Everything else looked pretty advanced. Maybe she was talking with an AI! The text was curt enough that it might be, and she'd had that dream before so it wouldn't be too surprising if she was revisiting it.

"Sorry about that," now a voice proper comes through the comm. Another girl. "I was eating. ...Who is this? I don't know this voice? ...Hold on let me find you."

It isn't more than a few seconds later that the voice goes, "By Earth, we needed more girls. ...Um, that's probably not the best thing to say. This is why I don't do this welcome wagon thing."

"Penelope. Penelope Garcia. Ooh! It has a locator?" She was now avidly inspecting the com unit, though not yet at the point of disassembling it.

"Re-population issues?" she quipped without really thinking it through. "Sorry," she added when she realized what she had said. "They don't usually let me out from my fortress of solitude either."

She cleared her throat and stopped trying to figure out how the com unit worked for a minute. "Where and when am I?"

"Yeah, that and I can see you on the cameras now. Well, welcome to my fortress, or it was until everyone started popping up. I'm kind of terrible at these explanations so forgive me, okay? You're on the Station, year's 3653."

Penelope gave a bright smile to the nearest camera. "Well hello, gorgeous. Nice to meet you!"

Being good at the computer thing and not so much at the communication thing was something that she could easily relate to, and it made her want to befriend the person who was speaking to her over the coms. However, the date tripped her up.

"Hold up. It's three thousand and WHAT?!? Last I checked it was still only 2007!" She paused, a frown creasing her forehead. "Did someone stick me in some kind of cryo bubble?"

The picture of a half-shaven man with wide, frightened-looking brown eyes pops up on the screen, obstructed by a rather distracting spiderweb-crack pattern. He squints for a moment, shakes his head, and squints again.

"Sorry, the screen's a little broken...you're new here, aren't you? Um. Don't bother looking for intelligent life around this place. Sentient, yeah, but not...um...not...intelligent."

There's a pause as he trails off.

"Anyway, I'm Harry. Who're you? What's your name?"

Video phone. Very neat. Not all together unusual, so it was nice to have a familiar bit of tech, but it did make her want to take the communicator apart to figure out how it worked.

She was currently bleach blonde, but her hair was the only thing about her that lacked color. An enormous blue and orange flower was pinned into it and went well with her blue and green paisley top. Her makeup was... loud, but flawlessly applied.

"Really? There was someone else who seemed to think otherwise." She seemed distracted at that for a moment before bringing herself back to the conversation. "Sorry. Anyway. Penelope. Penelope Garcia. Can you tell me what's going on?"
captaineffingmagic: (I'm sorry?)

"...yeah, that makes sense, everyone thinks they're a rocket surgeon." Harry deadpans. "Anyway, you're on a space station. It's awesome for the first twenty seconds, and then you realize that that...French guy...whatever his name was...was right, and you're pretty much in Hell. And also...there's at least one person who's proud she can't read. And she controls the whole place?"

He pauses, "Which...is...actually the hunch I have going into all of this. I'm pretty sure we're just all in hell. There are also people who think it's all in their head, and one guy who's pretty sure we're in some kind of quantum universe...thing, but I'm pretty sure it's Hell.

But...no one's stuffed me in a trunk yet? So...it kinda evens out?"

"Well I'll just report to you if I need surgery for any rockets," she replied with an infectious grin. She gave him a steady look as he continued. "You're just one big ball of sunshine, aren't you?"

Seriously... Even Hotch wasn't that morose most of the time, and considering the things that he dealt with on a daily basis, he had more than enough room to be. This guy seriously needed a mocha vodka valium latte. Or maybe just the vodka and valium. Stimulants might not be a good idea when he was already so high strung.

There's a beat as Harry takes a pause. "Yep." he says, still deadpan, "Came with the job. Nice office, company car, abusive boss, cynicism. You know-- I had to negotiate for the cynicism? My boss tried to force me to be happy all the time, but I told 'im it wasn't worth the paycheck if I couldn't be a dick to people."

Harry smirks a little at that. Okay, the banter is good. It's making him feel like him again.

["So all this time I've been moping, and what I really need? The one thing I hoped for? I was getting it. I just needed a fucking break. And what about...you guys? The audience? You don't want me moping and bitching for the next...however many episodes or whatever the hell it is, right?"]

"So where're you sitting? I could come by you, let you do this in person. This camera always gets my bad side." Harry's smirk widens a little, but his tone is still deadpan. "Whaddaya say? Pretty...pretty sure these screen cracks make me look fat, too."
