( 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!

[ back to English. he finds it easier, less troubling. though he doesn't understand why she insists now, nor any of the things she said that were different from what he remembers of her, at the very least she provided him with a step in the right direction. it's something. if it works out, he'll think better of her.

true, he might not be there. seems a bit of a stretch to call this place "home," but alright, he won't question it. he just keeps going, moving on forward, because that's all he can do. ]

I'll find him. With or without your help.

[ Well. At least he admits that she can be helpful. That is...something.

She's going to just end up following him at this rate, casually pointing out when he's gone in the incorrect direction until they reach the housing for the Immune and she points it out to him. ]

There.

[ it's more than he can say for most people, so she should consider herself pretty lucky tbh.

her directions, while aggravating, seem to work well enough. the city is definitely strange, and it's true that he'd probably have initial difficulty navigating around it on his own. especially when he was searching for someone he wasn't 100% certain he wanted to find. which means that, once they do arrive at the right place (it had better be, anyway--) he's suddenly unsure, feet slowing to a full stop only moments after she points ahead.

it takes some time, but with a brief glance back towards her - warning, confirming, he's not sure - he takes that next step and moves on forward. he might be nervous, but it won't be the worst thing if she's wrong about this. ]
