( MEMES ) TEST DRIVE >> 7

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.

I wasn't aware I was doing anything.
pain_train: (do you really think so)

So then why were you just recording yourself not doing anything? Did you do that on accident?
alreadybetter: (orly?)

I was allowing my responder, that would be you, to make the first move. After all. I am new here.

Oh! Okay, so you're one of the new Immune. Hi! Sorry bad people kidnapped you. If you're hungry I know a great noodle place that's not too far from the lab.
alreadybetter: (look side)

A laboratory, not a prison cell? That's good to know.

Oh, you're still in there? Yeah you can leave whenever I think? Like you just walk out of the hall and I think it dumps you in the street, that's what everyone seems to say.

There are prisons too but unless you got arrested I don't see why you'd be in a prison.

I could call Delta if you want. He's Immune like you so he knows how all the stuff works. He's the smartest person ever.

What everyone seems to say? You don't have first hand knowledge?

Me? Naw. I'm not Immune. A lot of really nice Immune are my friends, though, I'm so lucky. You guys really got the shitty end of the stick and I feel super bad about it.

Hm. I'm sure you do.

[personal profile] pain_train 2015-03-30 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
That's what I said. I don't say shit I don't mean.

[Mutter:] unlike basically everyone else.

[Dryly:] You should try it some time.

Anyway, if you get tired of sitting in that room and glaring at the network I'd be happy to help you like get some food or pants or whatever. They like taking people's pants. It's kind of weird.
