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. What are you going to do?

2. Failed Upgrade. One of your upgrades is more wrong than right. How will you cope? What exactly is different? Who will help?

3. Mission outside the dome. You've come under fire. The strange things are coming towards you. Luckily, you have your suit, your teammates, and a lot of firepower. Or are you stranded on your own, looking for someone to come to the rescue? Perhaps you're the rescuer.

4.Infected Something bit you. Now you're turning into them, and all you can hear is a high-pitched squealing in your head, like a frequency you just can't quite hear. Do you tell your loved ones, or do you wait? Do you trust your doctor?

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. Chance encounter makin' my way downtown walking fast, faces pass--you get the point. You bump into someone! Shopping, or strolling in a park? Maybe just lunch in a cafe?

7. Glory to the Network! Network post. Text with general queries, say what you have to say to the entirety of the whole city.

8. Wildcard: Whatever you want. Mix and match, switch and swatch, make something else up entirely!

And Ali's. And everyone else who didn't make it back in. "Hm," is all she says as she takes another sip of wine.

Then, after a moment's awkward silence, a thought occurs to her.

"Do you think any children they might have will be Immune?"

[oldfashionedfutureboy]

"If that's the grand plan? No wonder all the Immune they keep bringing in are attractive." It would kind of fit with the batshit long term thinking Bifrons tended to have.

[cois]

"Are they?" She scans the crowd. "I hadn't noticed."

Honestly, none of them catch her attention. None of them are Ali attractive to her, really.

[oldfashionedfutureboy]

"Juliett had a whole broadcast over how pretty they all are. Picked out a coupla favorites. Course that was while Romeo was still around and she was feel'n sociable." After everything that happened in the interim? He's not surprised she's kept to herself. AFter what happened with Joyce he's tried to keep his own preferences locked up tight.

[cois]

"Ah yes, that was... interesting." She looks over the Network broadcasts to see if anything work recording is said, but had somehow forgotten that one.

[oldfashionedfutureboy]

"You know how she is. Well. How she was." He shrugs. Her particular brand of issues aren't his problem until they make her dangerous. "Most of 'em seem pleasant enough."

[cois]

"Attractive and pleasant. However will we cope?"

She's making jokes. That's either a sign that she likes you, or that she's had one too many glasses of wine.

[oldfashionedfutureboy]

"Some of them are even competent. Single men and women of Sanctum, watch out." He snorts a soft laugh, sipping on his beer. It's safe enough to be a little humorous in this.
