The Station: Test Drive

The Station Info Menu

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.

For a moment, Jack doesn't even understand the question. "Hunh. Oh. Well, local time is 3563, so, if you do exist in this timeline, unfortunately, you're probably not still around." He shrugs. "Sorry."

"But that brings up a way more interesting question." Jack pauses for a second, and looks at Steve seriously. "Let me guess, you just came from the Battle of New York?" Because if the answer is no, then things get interesting.

Steve would have been concerned if he had not been pulled out of a fixed point in time already. It would really be kind of funny actually if he were to really think about it.

The kind of thing Tony might enjoy actually.

"Yes Sir," Steve replied. "Otherwise how would I have known Doctor Banner?"

Jack doesn't know about Steve's 'slow boat' method of time travel, but oh, would that be an interesting topic for discussion. For now, though, he needs some clarification. "I mean, was that the last thing you remember before coming here? Bruce, Stark, Darcy, even Helmet Boy," Jack's pet name for Loki, "they all seem to be coming from within the same 48-hour time span, surrounding that battle. Which, in the grand scheme of things, is pretty ridiculous."

Steve needed a moment to think because all of his thoughts were kind of jumbled together at the moment. The details of what happened to him were kind of hazy, so he closed his eyes trying to remember.

"Tony had just fallen back through the portal.... I think..... Or maybe we were eating schwarma? The details are a little fuzzzy.... is this normal?"

Jack nods. Maybe things were so much clearer for him because he'd done this time travel thing before. "Oh good. I'll have to get the details another time, I still haven't gotten the full story of what happened in New York, but that puts you in the same time frame."

"We're trying to find out patterns like that, any similarities, but I guess that's mostly Bruce's job."

"Dr. Banner didn't tell you?" Steve paused to look at Jack again. "I am guessing that the Big Guy also made the trip?" Steve asked. He was fairly certain that jumping dimensions wouldn't have gotten rid of the Hulk.

Steve looked around. "Well, what can I do to help?"

Jack tries to keep his tone casual. "I've gathered enough to know that Bruce doesn't want to talk about it and," nods towards the Captain, "that he wouldn't exactly be the most reliable narrator of events."

And then Jack gets that protective look on his face, and pitches his voice down. "Yes, the Other Guy is along for the ride, but very few people on board know he exists, even fewer have figured out that he and Bruce share headspace. And I've worked really. hard. to make sure that it stays that way. So far as most people on board know, he's just a really hard-working doctor. He deserves a chane to be treated like everybody else."

Steve stopped at the tone in his voice, looking at him strangely for a moment. He respected Jack's willingness to protect his friend. He was also willing to do the same.

"I don't suppose you have read anything about me?" He asked, just as softly. "If you had, you should know that I have no intention of causing him problems. I get what it is like to be treated differently, and I wouldn't wish that on anyone, so don't worry, my lips are sealed."

Jack slowly nods again. "Good. Because, he's got it under control. He's not actually a threat to people on board. And I've had to convince a few people of that fact. Himself included," that last part muttered a little.

But then he shoots Cap a half-smile. "Bruce was a little dodgey about anything from back home, and Stark...well, Stark didn't like me. So I have to admit, I don't know. What bits and pieces I've heard about SHIELD, pseudo-military organization, slash super-hero group?" Jack's eyebrow raises. "I've got to hear the details."

"I never saw him as a threat sir," Steve assured him quickly and quietly. "He was a world renown scientist, long before I met him, and I respected him for it."

"He never wanted to fight in the first place, and I respect that," Steve said, rubbing the back of his neck.

"So you want me to tell you about the Avengers?"

That really does sound like Bruce. Okay, maybe this guy does have him figured, then.

"Ye-ah, that was the other term Bruce had thrown around," Jack brightens up a little. "So, SHIELD, and the Avengers, they're different things? But you were both working to stop Loki? I did get at least that part of the story."

Steve nodded his head. "The Avengers initiative is under the Umbrella of SHIELD, which has a really long name, but SHIELD is easier," Cap replied with a smile.

He adjusted his shield slightly in his hand. "Is there a reason that Bruce never explained this?"

"I can tell it's a sensitive subject with him, anything even tangentially related to the Other Guy is. So, if he shares details freely, then I'll be there to listen. But I dont push for details. We're all holding a secret or two we wouldn't want others prying into."

Jack waves a hand dismissively. "Besides, he's got so many other fascinating things to talk about. Theories about this area of space, and metaphysics. I've traveled time before, and he's got me re-thinking everything I know about causality, paradoxes," Jack smirks, "even why I picked up the time travel gig in the first place."

Steve looked at Jack curiously for a moment. He wasn't exactly sure what the man meant by Time travel, but he bit back his question for now.

"I am an open book, so I don't think that applies to me, but I do understand the need to keep somethings quiet," Steve stated. "I would never break Dr. Banner's confidence or trust like that. If you don't believe another thing about me, believe that," He finished earnestly, looking around.

His curiosity got the better of him, and he asked. "You time travel?"

Could this be a prose writing sample?

I used my test drive thread as one sample, and then did a paragraph pretend post for my prose sample

We only need the Action and the prose right?

Yeah, that'll settle you.

Kay..... I have the personality, and the prose to do then
