( 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 nods slightly. It makes sense that York wouldn't let Delta out where he could be killed or infected.]

I'm not sure if I want the meat one or the everything one. What do you think? Any preference?

[It's also fortunate that Delta's practical enough to see why, rather than being offended at being treated like a child. But he'd never been the one to seek out combat - if he did leave the dome, it would be to help keep York safe.]

I believe I will try the spinach feta variety. I find the "everything" combination may have pieces I do not like. [And it's hard to tell what they are when it's all mixed together. So far the only food Delta has reliably found that he can't take is anything spicy.]

[Without thinking on it, Church orders the meat lovers. Saves him from having to pick out the mushrooms anyway.]

So, what kind of job do you have here?

[what does a former spec ops AI do for employment in a place like this? Church can't help but be curious what kind of job Delta would pick for himself.]
alaspooryork: (unarmored: oh i see)

Currently, my job consists of "mooching off York". However, I have several employment applications in the event I require a separate income. For example, there is a holographic modeling agency to which I feel I could significantly contribute.

[He did spend most of his life as a hologram, after all.]

So kind of like back home then? [snerk]

Holographic modeling agency... no offense but you're not a hologram anymore Delta. [Come on, what else was going to be the first thing he thought of hearing that. But he smirks, he knows that's not what Delta meant.]
alaspooryork: (unarmored: um no)

[personal profile] alaspooryork 2014-07-19 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
[He snorts lightly.] Hardly. I was able to contribute far more to his actions there than I am here.

[Does that sound like regret? Yeah, it kind of does. Luckily, he smirks at the next comment.]

You think perhaps I am incapable of modeling in this current body?

Actually, it involves manipulation of human-modeled holograms. I am quite skilled at this.

Let's just say seeing you Vogue takes a bit more imagination than seeing you at a computer.
alaspooryork: (unarmored: i do care)

[He smirks.]

I would be in the backend technical department, Church, not the front-end modeling. Holographic manipulation takes a certain amount of finesse; as I primarily interacted with others through holograms for the vast majority of my life, I am familiar with many of the necessary techniques.
