TEST DRIVE MEME #0
A TIME VORTEX has opened in downtown LA! Some magic folks have been contacted to close it, but they haven't gotten here fast enough for the vortex not to spill out a HECK TON OF DINOSAURS – all kinds of dinosaurs of all kinds of sizes. There are theoretically gentle herbivores among the fierce predators, but they are all pretty pissed off about their sudden, startling relocation, and a lot of them have spikes.
(The vortex is both temporally and spatially unstable, which is why the dinosaurs emerging onto the streets of LA are constrained neither by specific prehistorical era nor geographical location.)
What you do is up to you. Here are some suggestions, though:
Fight some dinosaurs. You might be trying to herd them back to the vortex, or just trying to stop them by any means possible.Or pretty much anything else you think your character might be doing. Any location in LA is game, although there's no real need to meticulously look them up – you can just assume a generic street, rooftop, store, etc. (You don't have to look up the dinosaurs, either.)
Flee or hide. If you're lucky the dinosaurs won't work out how to open doors and you can spend your entire thread hiding behind the bar in a Starbucks with some other hapless civilians without having to confront any of them.
Try to capture the dinosaurs on camera. If you can get some really good photos you might be able to sell them to the local paper in order to supplement your elderly aunt's meagre income. Or just use them to get a bunch of notes on Tumblr, either way.
Take advantage of the chaos to do crime. The forces of law enforcement are preoccupied with all these prehistoric reptiles.
If you have a character who you'd like to assume is part of a team, but that team hasn't been named or brainstormed OOC yet or anything, feel free to indicate in your opening post that you're assuming your character is operating alongside others and encourage others to tag in as if they are part of the same team! Or just handwave it and assume they got caught without their usual teammates or separated from them. Whatever way works best for you.
Events from this test drive are not automatically assumed game canon, but individual threads can be if you and the people who you thread with end up mutually wanting to keep them.

Launching forward he focuses on freezing the descent of the girl and the device both, or at the very least slowing the fall. He shakily lowers her to the ground, head ringing slightly from the effort.

Amane grabs it with her two hands, and Garuda finally flies in beneath her and carries her off. She stares in slight confusion at the COMP, and presses a few controls to make sure it's still working, before looking down and realizing the boy is still there.
He did seem to have psychic abilities... so did he...?
She lands on the floor, summoning Vidofnir- another giant golden bird- and making them stand guard this time. "...You saved me. Thank you very much. ...May I ask, what's your name?"

Focusing on the matter at hand, Neku's first instinct, as usual, is to be as prickly as possible and blow off the conversation, but considering they both just mutually saved each other's asses......
Tugging nervously at a lock of hair, he mutters: "Neku. Neku Sakuraba."

The dinosaurs seem to be flying from their general area, with the pterosaur having received a Maragidyne to the face. "...Do you still wish to leave?"
