( 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!

You're getting sentimental in your old age. Not very logical is it?

Perhaps it's all this flesh... how do you stand it?

[Seriously Delta, it's driving him crazy. This body is vulnerable, weak... and he's alone.]
alaspooryork: (down to your level)

[Ah, the meat of the issue, so to speak. He does ignore the comment about sentiment, because there's a difference between simple emotional response and a loyalty that has beene arned many times over.]

Not without difficulty at first. However, after an initial adjustment period it is nothing that cannot be adapted to by an open-minded individual.

[Ah well, your host never tried to kill you.]

I despise it Delta.

[Open-minded maybe not so much, but he is a survivor. He's trapped in this flesh, he can't just jump hosts if the odds turn against him... and the odds aren't in his favor already.]
alaspooryork: (does not approve)

[personal profile] alaspooryork 2014-07-17 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
[No, just to sacrifice him to the Meta. But that was South - compared to her, York is a shining paragon of virtue, and is there any wonder Delta prefers his company?

Even so, Delta feels the slightest bit relieved that for once he seems to have the advantage over his more violent brother.]


If there is a way to reverse the process, I have not yet discovered it. It is necessary to adapt.

My only long term human host was... odd. [He was a fucking pathetic fool.]

I don't think I could use him as proper template for my actions.

[If it wasn't for Doc he wouldn't have much idea what flesh needed to survive at all. As it is, Doc's behavior was aberrant even to other humans.]
alaspooryork: (on treacherous ground)

[That...is a valid point. At least Delta knows how to human because he spent so much time with York.]

Perhaps there should be a pamphlet for those newly placed in human bodies explaining the basic functions.

[They could call it So You're Squishy.]
mybadside: (Thinking of you)

[Congratulations brother, you're the lucky one.]

The instructional video leaves much to be desired.

[How very droll]

When I find who's responsible for this... Oh how I'll make them suffer.
alaspooryork: (advanced training)

[Tell that to Daddy who always said he was a failure because he wasn't aggressive enough.]

Bifrons, Inc. claims responsibility for our presence here in general. However, the individual or group specifically associated with AI transfer to human bodies has not been identified.
mybadside: (totally sane)

Then I'll start somewhere in the middle and work my way up. Eventually I'll find the right one.

[and in the meantime he gets to have some fun. Win/win.]
alaspooryork: (i am going to ignore that)

[personal profile] alaspooryork 2014-07-17 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[Delta sighs. There's no way this is going to end well. He'll probably just be recaptured.]

Killing the ones responsible will not restore you to your former state.

No, but it will feel good.

[come on Delta, a little payback.]
alaspooryork: ([york] the first implantation)

[personal profile] alaspooryork 2014-07-17 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[True. On the other hand, they gave York back to him, so Delta's willing to consider the scales balanced.]

Acknowledged.
