Reply with your character down below, with at least one of the provided prompts to get things going. Then, go around to other people and tag them! Have threads! Have fun!

If you’re not sure what this game is about, look here or here! If you want to lay down a reserve, go here! For anything else, look here!

We will be putting up a new Test Drive on the 15th of every month.

Prompts

1. Venture City in Peril! Dr. Devious’s army of Deviobots are ransacking the city! It’s up to you, the Omegafriends, to save the day - but you’ll need to work together to repel this sinister threat.

2. A Hero is Born! What started as an ordinary day was thrown into chaos as your newfound superpowers began to suddenly awaken! What perilous problems and zany antics will this bring about? Stay tuned to find out!

3. The Adventure Mundane! It's not all over-the-top heroics here - sometimes, ordinary day-to-day life can be just as much trouble! On the trail of a story for the Daily Venture? Frantic last-minute studying for tomorrow's math test? Harassing people to sign petitions on street corners? Hitting the arcade to destroy simulated villains instead of real ones? The sky's the limit!

4. Welcome to the Omegabase! The super-secret underground Omegabase has it all - training centers, VR simulators, free snack machines, but most important is a whole lot of Supers! Take a minute to kick back and get to know your fellow heroes.

5. The Mighty Showdown! In the life of a Super, good and evil are always clashing in battle. Today, you’ve come face to face with one of the many supervillains threatening the future of Venture City! Who will rise and who will fall? Next issue: The shocking answer!

6. Wild Card! Got an idea for a thread or prompt that isn’t one of those? Make up your own! We won’t stop you.

...they're alright I guess. But the ones that are fashionable now are all tight.

[sonicheart]

... Well, yeah. YOu can get baggier fits, though, so I usually do that. Makes you less noticeable, too. That's nice.

[Lori seems to prioritize many things on 'not being obvious'.]

[former_endboss]

I guess. It helps keep the secret identity secret to dress like that, huh?

[sonicheart]

... And from people catching on that I'm one of the richest people in Venture...

[former_endboss]

...do not worry comrade, I will not betray you to the proletariat.

[When did Mir suddenly get a cheesy movie Russian accent?]

[sonicheart]

You know enough films to do the fake accent?

[Yes, Lori knows the difference between an actual Russian accent and a bad movie one... Somehow.]

[former_endboss]

Was part of programming, da? Handle all eventualities, play all expectations-and subvert then.

[sonicheart]

Uh... Huh.

[former_endboss]

[And we're back to normal voice.]

If you don't like having all this money, why not get rid of some?

[sonicheart]

Because then I'd have to pursue a job and that's even worse.

[former_endboss]

I do suppose you have no marketable skills or personality. Work is ill suited for you, or perhaps the other way around.

[sonicheart]

I spent most of my teenage years in a lab. With no control unit.

I got out, I yanked my dad's bank accounts - he's with a crime group, so I didn't get in trouble - and got over here.

[former_endboss]

I suppose then, if we are to live together, I must get a job to support my share of the rent. It is fortunate that you are able to support me while I put myself through college.

I estimate it will take only 2 years to earn a PhD if I apply myself and work part time, once I test out of the appropriate undergraduate courses.

[sonicheart]

... Erm... I guess?

[former_endboss]

It will serve as an example to you to not simply rest on your laurels and degenerate.

[sonicheart]

H-hey, it's not like I'm some idle hiding person...

[Other than that she totally is when she's not Sonicheart.]

[former_endboss]

I guess you have a point. You're certainly not idle, with the amount of time you spend on...accessory activities.

[sonicheart]

H-hey, saving this city from Lord Titan and such isn't accessory!

[former_endboss]

Well, it's neccessary I suppose...but most of the time isn't actually spent doing that, is it? I mean, Titan's plots take about 2-3 days a month to deal with and the rest is just lower tier guys mooking it up.
