( MEMES ) TEST DRIVE >> 7

[contagio]

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. Toss in the odd memory blanks and the everpresent logo of Bifrons incorporated and it's enough to make someone paranoid.

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. Pet Adoption. Maybe you have the perfect genetically engineered pet in mind. Maybe you found a stray little escapee--do you keep it or turn it in? There's a reward if you let Bifrons know where the potentially dangerous little bugger is at, after all.

3. Alterations. Feel like you need an edge in the city? Find yourself injured and looking at options? Why not consider genetic alterations or, better yet, upgrading to a better, healthier you? Be warned, some of the side effects can be a little unpleasant.

4. Network Glitches. Strange garbled messages keep trying to come through in audio and text, but no way to track where they're coming from. Do you try to make contact? Compare notes with others? Surely it's nothing to be concerned about, right?

5. Dome Glitches. What was that in the window? There, again, in the bathroom mirror! Is that another you, living another life? Or maybe you spot an ominous shadow lurking around in the corner, something like a dysthrope but...worse. You're not going crazy, are you? Others see it, too, don't they? Oh, I wouldn't touch that reflective surface if I were you, or you might end up thinking you're living in that strange other world.

6. Outside the Dome. You're out and about without an armed escort, suited up against the atmosphere and dysthropes. It's supposed to be a green sector in this run down shell of what used to be a suburb, right? Nothing could possibly go wrong

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

Waking up

[Too much about this place is extremely strange. There's so much metal here, strange surfaces, a message from what seems to be another place and time somehow visually brought to her, and a bunch of her things...and things that are not hers (but surely are now).

The first thing that is for certain is: she cannot stay in this room. It's likely that everyone else is trapped in here the same as her, like the sloth demon but with...very different dreams. So the first thing she does is sneak down whatever halls she can, trying every single door that is available to her. She doesn't think leaving this place out the obvious exit is going to get her anywhere, not until she finds her party.]

Network

Has anyone lost a mabari? Or a warhound of any kind? ...A dog. If you can call it that.

[She looks down with her glasses on, aimed down at what, to those from Ferelden, looks to be a mabari indeed. But pint-sized. It even has some war paint markings on it, but while the tail is going a mile a minute, she can't help but think it looks...pathetic.]

She isn't mine. Mine was nearly as tall as I am, and a male. I'm not about to steal someone's hound if she's bonded to someone. [She might steal most things, but pets? Not likely.] I found her barking at a few cats in an alley, so at least she's got the voice of a mabari. Big things in little packages. [She can relate.]

Wildcard

[For whatever else appeals to you!]
