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!

[Raleigh's a way back in the crowd, on his way to work, when he hears a loud commotion going on--and sees people parting in a hurry. He, in turn, starts moving forward and when he's close enough to the guy, he reaches out and catches him as best he can.]

Hey! Calm down! No one's gonna hurt you.

[But he wonders if this guy is someone else they've brought in.]

[ You are right-o, man. Points for you.

Delsin turns to look at the guy, his hands out beside him like he was trying to launch himself up in the air. Cause, really, he was, but guess what isn't working? Since when the hell could the D.U.P. take powers? ]

What the hell did you people do to me?!

[Raleigh's careful not to actually touch this guy. Physical contact may agitate him more, and that's not what he wants to do.]

[Calmly but sternly:] I didn't do anything. They did to you what they did to me--what they did to a lot of people here. Now, I'm Becket--Raleigh Becket, and I can help you if want.

[ More like he'd probably try and race past Raleigh with neon but oh wait. ]

They took away your powers too? What the hell, man? How can they do that? [ He stands up straight and exhales, glancing away before looking at him. ] Delsin Rowe. You know, the Banner Man.

I'm Raleigh Becket but I--no, I never had any powers. [Powers like a superhero...? Always makes him think of Yancy.] And I'm sorry man, but I've never heard of you or the Banner Man.

[What's with this place and pulling people from their homes but yet taking away their powers? It doesn't make any sense!]

Sooo, you're a normal guy. That's cool. Everyone has a talent. [ Sort of. He'd show them of--EXCEPT. ] Good. It was a stupid nickname too. I still have to find the guy that made it up.

The Smoker is better. [ Delsin tosses a look around before taking a step closer. ] Mind telling me where the hell am I? I'd also like to know if this is a dream. Because, if it is? It is the lamest dream EVER.
