Multiple Settings I Hate Waiting in Another World!

Hi there! I hate waiting. Maybe you do to? Let's get this rolling!

Concept:
You are a regular person doing regular person things. Today, of all days, you are at the DMV.
You receive your number and wait....for HOURS! Just as you are about to give up, a screen appears in front of you.

[Text reads: Tired of waiting? Yes. No.]

Of course you select Yes!

BAM!

You have been hurled into the space between Time and Space. Your head spins as it views things that cannot physically exist.
Before the merry-go-round comes to a halt, you are given the option to pick a power in your Next World.
Wait, Next World? You think. But there is no time for waiting! You select your power and off you go!

Posting Expectations:
This is going to be a very fast paced, short RPG. No post length requirements, but as my English teacher would say, it should be the length of a skirt...
"Long enough to cover everything but short enough to be interesting!"
(she was a riot)
BBC NOT NEEDED! Obviously if you want to use it for your own enjoyment, full steam ahead!
Finally, One post per week at minimum.
(I would prefer twice per week if everyone has finished their first post, but...you know....life happens)

Game Expectations:
The game will be split into 3 locations with 4 sections of gameplay.

Section 1: The DMV
You will have one post to introduce your character. That's right! Since we don't have time to wait, we don't have time for Character Sheets.

Section 2: Powers and Places
I will assign a random power to each player via Conversation and provide a description of the world you land in via Post in the game thread.
You will have 5 posts to explore the world, your power, and interact with other players before....

Section 3: More Powers and More Places
Off to another world! This time, you choose what power you accepted.
Again, I will post the world description in the thread. After only 3 posts this time....

Section 4: Conclusion
You are back at the DMV having missed your number being called.
You still have your powers, you can still travel to other worlds.
Now is the time to create your own ending post.
Alternate realities exist, and each player can craft their own ending irrespective of what anyone else does.
(This is also where I, personally, would create a full CS as a recap)

TLDR:
10 posts. Low stakes. Silly shenanigans. World Hopping! Who's in?​
 
Not the kind of thing I'd normally join but it does look quite fun and seems to be intended to be a short-term thing. It definitely sounds like it could be quite the interesting experience. You can count me in :D
 
I will get a an OOC thread and a starting post up in the next 24 hours. Hopefully we can get a 4th or 5th person to join within that time frame, but I will leave this open for anyone up until the transition to Section 2. Thank you for joining this silly little experiment. I hope you have fun!
 
I'd like to join but I have no idea what people do at the DMV
DMV is short for the Department of Motor Vehicles. It is a place in the U.S. where you go to get a driver's license or vehicle registration. It is a notorious place for taking multiple hours to complete a task that takes about 10 minutes once it is your turn. Funny enough, the process has actually gotten better due to Covid forcing them to go no-contact and establishing a system for making appointments...This last bit, will, of course, be ignored for this RP. Characters can be present for their own purposes or because they are there to wait alongside someone who has brought them.

The important part needed for the start of the RP is that it is a room filled with chairs and you sit there not talking to other people who are also sitting there while three people behind desks very slowly work through a queue.

Excellent
I will do that so I can avoid having to watch youtube tutorials on how the DMV works
