( MEMES ) TEST DRIVE >> 8

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. Bifrons Annual Gala. All the creme de la creme--and the Immune--are invited to the Bifrons annual gala, filled with food (real meat!) and drink (sunshine in a glass!) and expensive clothing you could want. Do you have anything to wear? Are you going to use this opportunity to schmooze, to sneak around to find some answers while everyone is distracted, or be an awkward wallflower? Or scoff at home about how everyone is so concerned with these silly events instead of cures?

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. Down with the Sickness. Something's going around. Is it a cold? The flu? Something worse? Are you immune to it, or just lucky? Are you sitting in a hospital waiting room, hoping to get seen, or just holed up in bed with the sniffles? Someone should bring you some soup and keep you company! Or complain with you.

5. Sewer Run. There's something (or somethings) lurking beneath the streets of Proles. You and other lucky people have been picked out, given a gun and a flashlight, and told good luck. What do you find down there? What finds you? Was that a cot and some discarded tablets in that alcove?

6. Outside the Dome. You're out and about without an armed escort, suited up against the atmosphere and dysthropes. Nothing could possibly go wrong...until it does. Was that a dysthrope moving...or a person?

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

[Where he's slightly surprised, she's massively surprised. She recognizes him from TV, knows exactly who he is and yet... What the hell is going on in this place? Cue her just staring for a hot second as she fights the urge to run. He seems to recognize her and it's casual enough that confuses her to a point of wanting answers.]

Back? Wh- How do you- What?

[No one said her attempt to get said answers would be eloquent.]
complicatedliar: (facepalm)

[Stare.

Well, that's not what he was expecting to hear.

And... oh. Oh. Oh.]


I take it you do not recall having been in this place before?

[Ugh. One more reason to hate this bloody city.]

I am not that Loki.
sorryitasedyou: (Who be reckless just enough)

[personal profile] sorryitasedyou 2015-06-01 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
No. I mean, like, I've got some awkward déjà vu crap happening but I have always had an over-active imagination... [And an affinity for babbling in awkward situations. H-ha.]

So - so you know me? I've been here before and you -

[Hold up, wait a minute.]

What do you mean you're not that Loki?
complicatedliar: (do you expect me to believe that?)

[personal profile] complicatedliar 2015-06-01 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
A version of you has been here before. We were housemates for a time, actually, due to circumstances.

I mean I am not the Loki with which you are familiar. The one who likes stabbing the king my brother in the kidneys.
sorryitasedyou: (And get gone)

[personal profile] sorryitasedyou 2015-06-03 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
[It's a lot to process... A lot. Like there are other worlds kinda lot.]

Oh. Oh. Oh? So if we were housemates - Wait, is Thor here?
complicatedliar: (Default)

[personal profile] complicatedliar 2015-06-04 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, the-- [No, this one is not the king.] my brother is here.

I have moved to my own flat now with my... boyfriends. But you will of course be welcome in my home. Thor has Jim Kirk living with him.
sorryitasedyou: (You've got the talkin' down)

[personal profile] sorryitasedyou 2015-06-08 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks, that's - [nice. that's the word she's looking for - nice.] - very kind of you. [She's already making mental notes about this dude, this Jim Kirk guy, questions starting to bubble up though she's doesn't even know where to start.]

I don't even know where to start here. Any places I should avoid? Any people I should avoid?

[Because step one is gonna be replacing her non-functional taser.]

You ought to stay away from district for and district one. The former because it is rather... Rough. And the latter because it is full of indolent rich brats who dislike the Immune like ourselves. Neither is the best place to be if you are not prepared for battle.

The Son of Coul is here, so you ought seek him out, I think. [Because if she's still salty about her iPod, could be funny.] Trust not Juliett. Nor anyone in Bifrons employ as a matter of course.
