( MEMES ) TEST DRIVE >> 003.

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!

[He keeps expecting a voice in his head feeding him the information that he needs. Soleil would have known every dirty little secret about this place in ten seconds if she'd been here. But she's gone, and even if she wasn't, she definitely isn't here and all that's left of the implant is a scar behind his ear and, what had Bardle said? Minor brain damage.

So he'll just have to do things himself won't he?

Apparently even here people are still people and a little sweet talk has him people willing to swear that he's a nice guy and a decent bit of information that should help him fit in more or less.

So now it's time to put that into action. Survey the land.

He manages to look equally at home in the slums of district Four, with his fallback position slowly becoming more secure, or Three where he can often be found watching and chatting up anyone of a scientific bent.]

(Totally open to whatever you want to throw at Lawrence!)

Loki did a good impression of a useless businessman, dressed in a natty suit and looking a bit lost. The better to not be noticed, really. He was I'm district 3 to do a but of information gathering of his own on his ongoing quest to figure put what the idiots in charge of this place were really about.

And there was a new face, of he didn't miss his mark. As a test, he attempted to casually bump into the man. Oh dear, completely an accident, really.

[theburn]

It wasn't even a hard bump, but when it wasn't all that crowded, it was pretty noticeable. He turned with it to face the guy who had bumped into him, plastering a look of concern onto his face.

"Oh hey, sorry. Didn't see you there."

He was British after all.

Loki gave him an equally sincere smile. "No, not at all. It must have been my fault. Wasn't looking where I was going."
