( MEMES ) TEST DRIVE >> 005.

THE TEST DRIVE



Like it or not, you've been dragged from your world into the sanctum. It's a pretty nice city, all things considered--sci-fi, high-tech, glamourous.... Except, of course, for the giant dome encircling it, and the threat of glitching, contaminated zombies at your door. Looks like humanity's built itself a fortress that looks suspiciously like a cage, too. 

The object of this meme is to get people familiar with the world of the Sanctum, and to try to see if their characters would fit in a sci-fi utopia such as this. Here are your options:
1. Intro: Waking Up. Make your intro post, folks. You wake up in a strange place, and get a strange transmission to go with it. There's a pair of glasses connected to some sort of communications network, but otherwise not much else in the room with you. What are you going to do? 

2. Environmental Glitching. Why the hell is it so hot inside the dome? Wasn't it just the perfect temperature yesterday? 

3. Genetic Altering. What it says on the tin. Want a go? Want to suffer the side effects? Want to keep someone you love from getting something done?

4. Memory Glitch. Nobody seems to remember you. Literally. Not your housemates, not your coworkers, not your friends. It's like you never existed.

5. Military Training. Everyone's got to start somewhere. You're training the green folks, maybe you're one of the newcomers yourself. Maybe you haven't even touched a gun before in your life. Either way, you'd better start now.

6. Network Glitches. Strange messages are coming through the network, embedded in posts from other users. Beyond anonymous and completely untraceable, these posters claim that Bifrons has changed more about you than you know. It's suggested that you look into past dealings with Kilo to gain better understanding of what you're up against. Do you investigate?

7. Wildcard. Choose your own adventure or create a cocktail from the presented options! The choice is YOURS.

WAUGH! [Caboose jumps when a puppy comes barreling through one of the lines of snowmen, clasping his helmet in what appears to be shock.]

You just killed Sarge!

[A beat, and then Caboose is crouched down beside the puppy to give it scritches, pets, even a tummy rub if he can.] Oooh you are a good puppy aren't you? What a good puppy!

[Looking up a minute later Caboose waves to Theta with an upbeat tone of voice.]

Aw, that's okay. It's what he would have wanted.

[skateboardiness]

[ Duke is super friendly and after the initial surprise when Caboose yells he notices he's being offered attention and will totally take any and all love. Thats almost as great as the snow!

Theta's not quite as easy with this though. And he's not sure what to make of Caboose yet. But he seems okay so far, and Duke seems okay with him. Hes not coming closer yet, though. ] Uh. At least its easy to rebuild snowmen?

[churchismybestfriend]

Yeah! We can make him even bigger now! [Giving the puppy one last good ear scratch he sits back and starts bundling up snow in his socked hands again when he looks up at Theta.]

Do you wanna make some friends with me? So far I've got- [Pointing from snow man to snow man] - Donut, Doc, Griff, Simmons 'n this one was Sarge and theeen- [Shuffling in the snow Caboose turns around to point at another group of snowmen facing off with the first group.] There's Tucker, Wash, Sheila and Church!

[Church is by far the largest of the snowmen and has a rather frowny face carved into his head, and the letters 'BFF' written in the chest segment.]
