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.

[Himiko did not react immediately (although the Kerbal was entirely correct! Those dramatic pole positions really had a lot of drawbacks) - she first sent her gathered blasts towards a few robots. But after confirming the hit, she jumped down gracefully, looking for her savior.]

Truly a good point! But then, by doing so I would rob the courteous heroes of this place of a chance to show their superb marksmanship, and I would never be so cruel~

[number1_kerbal]

Aw shucks, just doing the same you'd do for me, right? And my marksmanship ain't so hot-not compared to some.

[The jetpack equipped hero turned, covering Himiko and covering her with his laser pistols as similarly equipped Velociraptors, both Jurassic Park and scientifically accurate ones, assailed them.]

[fluffytails]

I suppose I could do a heroes duty, sometimes, that is!

[Himiko focused on the colorful, feathered menace and raised a kind of pitched-black wall out of the shadow of the pole, blocking several of them, so their (innaccurate, of course) shots would be even less of a problem, then fired yet another salvo.]

Their feathers would look pretty as a kind of accessoire, I'd say~

[number1_kerbal]

Only sometimes, huh? What do you consider yourself then?

[A bit of grappling with a big one leads to Jeb bashing it's face in with his helmet using a fearsome headbut.]

They look a lot better than the shrink wrapped ones, that's for sure.

[fluffytails]

Why, I'd consider myself to be merely a laid-back lady~

[Himiko smiled cheerfully and distracted another velociraptor with a shadow version of her newfound ally.]

I suppose that's why they want to nibble on us. They know we've got our eyes on those pretty feathers...

[number1_kerbal]

[Well, that's only mildly off-putting, that black-suited dopelganger. Jeb feels the urge to smash that guy's face it-it must be a White Stig/Black Stig thing.]

You've got your eyes on them like a fox watching chickens. Me, I just prefer to watch.

[fluffytails]

Why, that is because I am a fox, in a way.

[It was pretty evident, from her looks.]

But unlike most, I'd prefer tofu over chicken. And these foul beasts would never be allowed to touch my Palate.

[number1_kerbal]

Naturally melanistic, or is that some sort of magical Kitsune dye-job?

[Wait, what?]

Hey, I live in town, I know what the myths about you lot are like.

[fluffytails]

You are one knowledgeable marksman!

[Himiko didn't skip a beat, although she was surprised he, ah, knew some things.]

I'm all natural, as I appear! No secrets or deception from my end~

[number1_kerbal]

Internet's a wonderful thing, let me tell you. You can learn all kinds of things. Like that I'm an astronaut, don't you know?

No secrets or deception? I must be dreaming-someone pinch me or something.

[fluffytails]

I did indeed not know - although that does explain your outfit!

[Mind you, astronauts were not exactly something she had gotten to yet. Catching up with all developments of human society took a while, especially when one liked frequent naps.]

And indeed, no deception. Of course, accusing a lady of decieving with her looks would be rude, and surely a dashing marksman such as you would not even imply such a thing!

[She cheerfully dodged a Velociraptor and plucked a feather as it went past, which embarassed the poor lizard so much that he/she dashed behind a car, covering the spot with one claw. Poor thing.]

[number1_kerbal]

No shame in a little dye. Lots of ladies do it, no deception intended.

[And then the raptor came flying back, chased by a clutch of Devibots. So what does Jeb do? Grab the lady, and trigger his jetpack!]
