( 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!

Definitely kneecaps, then. Both of them. Do you think you have a heart somewhere in there, or is it just a pit of fucking tar? Wanna find out?

I think I wanna find out.

[mybadside]

Come and find me then. But I promise you this... I won't kill you.

[Torture yes, but he can't kill you Alpha. In some ways he realizes that's even crueler, but he is what you made him. He might as well make it sound menacing, he does have a reputation to live up to after all.]

[motherfucking_ghost]

[Maybe being Alpha has perks. He knows it--fucked up the Meta's head when all those AI flipped their collective shits upon his arrival--but he doesn't like to acknowledge it. But if the AI here react the same way, it might be hard to deny it.

Even if he doesn't (want to) believe it, he can milk it for all it's worth. On the other hand: torture. Fffffffffun.]

I can't promise the same. I'll make it my job to not make that promise at all.

[mybadside]

That's for the best. You've never been very good at keeping your promises anyway... have you?

[He wonders if really can do it, Alpha. The idea is exhilarating and while he doesn't want to die, this flesh bound existence is a hell he does not want.]

[motherfucking_ghost]

What the hell would you know, you cocksucking horse-fucking shitbag ass-whore!

[He's branching out a little in his rage-induced cursing.]

The second I see you, you are dead, okay? I don't give a fuck what my record is or what you or any of these Freelance bitches think!

Oh, I know more than you realize. So much more.

I'll be waiting for you, I may even see you first. [You don't think he's just going to stay put? Oh no, there has to be something around here he can use as a weapon. Even if he has to pry a piece of metal off a duct or table.]
