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! No, wait, Baron Von Tyrannosaur is back with another dinosaur army! No, wait, it's... really, ther's a lot of different ways a city can be imperiled. However, no matter the threat, it’s up to you, the Omegafriends, to save the day - but you’ll need to work together to repel the forces of evil.

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. Time Warp! Chasing after Lady Blue's latest heist has left you temporarily stranded, along with your fellow heroes, in another era. Where and when have you gone, and how will you cope with the bizarre situation?

7. 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.

Comments

Shotaro Hidari | Kamen Rider W

[countyoursins]

[1.] [Ah yes, another one of those strange bugsuited heroes. This one looks like some kind of weird half and half monster and when he talks it sounds like two voices speaking together.]

[Despite being a weirdo, it looks like he's here to help. He comes out of nowhere to send a flying kick to an unfortnate raptor lackey and lands on his feet, flicking his wrist and then pointing dramatically towards the origin of this dino crisis.]

[pay no mind to the theme music, folks.]

Oi, Baron Von Tyrannosaur. You've made the citizens of this city cry for the last time. It's time to count up your sins!

[3] [When Shotaro isn't fighting crime and sharing his body with his partner to fight said crime- he has a day job. Shotaro Hidari, Venture City's very own Private Investigator.]

[Too bad most of the work he gets involves lost pets. Which is what he's doing now. Trying to coax a cat out of a tree.]

Fluffer-nutter! Here, Fluffer-nutter! Come on! Little Suzie's really worried about you!

[Making despairing cat noises is a part of the pet gathering process, we promise.]

[6]

WHAT THE HECK JUST HAPPENED!?

[Okay, so, she was cute. He had no idea she was a time traveling thief. IT WAS AN HONEST MISTAKE. Now he is ...somewhere. The somewhere isn't helpful because this doesn't look like Venture City at all. Instead of being particularly rational he's going to shout indignantly at things for a little bit.]

[You are welcome to pick the time period!]

[gigigigigigi]

[So that cat isn't alone in that tree. Amazon sticks his head out to peer down at the meowing detective.]

You not cat.

[So why are you meowing like one, you weirdo?]

[countyoursins]

[Excuse you, at least he's not hanging out in a tree in a loin cloth.]

Hah!? Who are you?

[gigigigigigi]

Amazon.

[He's...actually casually holding and petting that cat now. At least his grasp of language has gotten better enough that he can handle these sorts of discussions.]

Who you?

[countyoursins]

[Not the strangest thing to come across in this city, honestly.]

Shotaro Hidari. [He points up at that cat.] And there's a little girl who's crying about her missing cat.

naturally i must tag this despite the fact that i should be making my own toplevel.

[epistemophile]

It seems we've been misplaced. Literally-- given that this is quite obviously no longer Venture City.

[So says the slender teenager somewhere to your right, as he always is, with a hand curiously stroking a beard he will never grow.]

It looks like we're in over our heads again, Shotaro.

[countyoursins]

[Shotaro is a bit concerned about Philip being here and not being safe at the Agency. He frowns, making a few irate grunts.]

Must be Wednesday. Let's see if we can figure out where we are.

[These buildings looked pretty old. Odd- there didn't appear to be any cars either.]

[epistemophile]

[Oh don't be concerned, he can withstand being thrown around like a ragdoll when you're transformed anyway, he can withstand some conscious shenanigans, surely.]

[Just don't let him wander off and get kidnapped by the natives.]

Or any other day ending in 'y'. The buildings appear somewhat archaic, and I don't see any signs of current technological advances. We're either in a place far behind us in that regard or perhaps in another era entirely. I don't doubt that to be within the realm of Lady Blue's abilities.

[countyoursins]

[Philip getting kidnapped by natives is the very last thing he wants.]

[He looks around at the buildings, and then at the streets. Look at all this cobblestone. Shotaro had a bad feeling about this.]

Augh! Which means we'll have to catch her to get out of here.

[Someone walks by wearing something out of a renn faire and gives them both strange looks. For lack of anything better to do. Shotaro tips his hat to him.]

[forgottendecade]

[ Strange bugsuited hero monologuing? Check. Lots of minions standing around flexing muscles while he does so? Check. Joji just sort of rolls his eyes behind his goggles and just walks right on into the line of minions. His right arm sparked as the segments folded out, the flesh not really flesh and the bones and muscles even stranger. It hurt - like always Joji bit his lip against the pain - but by the time he hit the line and started swatting dinos and robots out of the way, his arm looked less like an arm and more like a huge skeletal hand lined with an unearthly green fire. ]

Monologue later. Drive them back before they get to the schools.

[ Kamen Riders. Always making a show out of defeating bad guys. ]

[countyoursins]

[Wow way to throw off his groove. There's a visible way he falters at that and manages to look sheepish. Just a little.]

Right.

[And here he will switch out one of the little USBs in his belt. He takes the black one out for a silver one. The resulting change shifts the color of the left half of the suit to silver and grants him a large metal staff. He then proceeds to wack the crap out of those dinosaurs.]

[forgottendecade]

[ yes, well, this upgrade only last about a minute and then he will be a little useless while the energy recharges so he can't listen to the whole speech. Also here, have a dino come your way still kicking and a bit mad that it just got smacked by a big glowing hand thing. ]

Just have a victory speech ready, Kamen Rider.

slides on in here

[twoinonerider]

[The right eye of the Rider blinks alight and a new voice is heard, chuckling faintly as he swaps out his own memory, the right half going from green to red to allow the ends of the staff wielded by the left half to catch fire.]

It seems I'm not the only one scolding you for being half-boiled, Shotaro. Shall we go for a Memory Break?

[kodomotaiyou]

[Huh. Well this was interesting. Chibiterasu stares at Shotaro making cat noises at the cat in the tree. He tilts his head a bit; what was this human trying to do exactly?]

3

[countyoursins]

[Look, it's worked before, okay?]

[Only, this cat looks to be pretty stubborn so he sighs, sliding off his had and running his fingers through his hair.]

[That's when he catches sight of Chibiterasu.]

Eh? A lost puppy?

[Who is he? Ace Ventura? This wasn't hard-boiled at all.]

[kodomotaiyou]

[He's looking this way. Chibiterasu meets his eyes and keeps on staring. Staaaarrrrreeeee.]

6!

[watarudoin]

[Welcome to a creepy house in the woods. There's someone bustling about outside in a parka, on account of it being pretty cold out here.

When Shotaro shouts, a flashlight spins to cast its light on him.]

[countyoursins]

[OH CRAP. Maybe shouting wasn't a great idea. Shouting why have you betrayed him. He puts his hands up.]

Sorry.

[But what is the deal with this house. This is pretty spooky.]

[watarudoin]

[Wataru comes up closer, and it's hard to tell what he thinks of what he sees on his property because it doesn't show on his face.]

You're going to freeze without a coat out here.

[electricalcurrent]

Certainly no stranger to odd getups herself, she decided to drop down to help out the bug suited guy. Since he was clearly on the right side! Of course that line. It just made her cringe.

"And I thought I was corny, Ceez."

[countyoursins]

Wow, rude! Shotaro jolts and tries not to appear put out, which is a feat given the suit covers him entirely.

"It's not corny!"

Having an argument while punching out dinosaurs sounds like a great idea.

[electricalcurrent]

She didn't mind. The swinging of fists went on anyways.

"Oh comon, you can't say that isn't corny."

[save_load]

[What's that?]

[Yup, it's another cat up in the trees. It's staring down at you with oddly blue eyes... and judging you (maybe?) for the name you're calling the other cat. Fluffer-nutter? Really?]

[countyoursins]

[Look the girl is like, six-years-old okay. He stopped questioning the names these kids were giving their cats.]

[He makes a loud frustrated noise and then spots the second cat. What. Was this tree some kind of secret cat hideout?]

Eh? Another one? Is that what this is? You found a friend?

[save_load]

[Abruptly, the black cat changes into a young woman sitting on one of the branches]

Nah, 'Fluffer-nutter' was here before I showed up.
