( MEMES ) TEST DRIVE >> 004.

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. There's a pair of glasses connected to some sort of communications network, but otherwise not much else in the room with you. What are you going to do? 

2. Environmental Glitching. Last time you looked outside, it was a fairly standard winter day: a few low clouds, not much sunshine, maybe a little snow on the ground. Nothing to write home about, other than the fact that it was all created by advanced technology. Now? Blizzard conditions in an artificial winter, under an artificial sky. People are trapped, frozen in, and the Militia is engaging in rescue operations in multiple Districts. Are you going to help your fellow man? Provide shelter or assist with digging people out of the snow? Or are you going to do something else? It's up to you. 

3. A Serial Killer on the Loose. Several months ago, the Sanctum was terrorized by a serial killer known as XXX. Immune and Survivor alike fell victim. XXX was eventually caught and brought to justice...only the news stations are reporting that XXX has escaped, and Immune have gone missing overnight. Do you keep a low profile, or find safety in numbers? Do you try to seek out the serial killer, or do some digging of a different sort?

4. Memory Glitch. Yesterday there was a parade through District Two that turned into an anti-Bifrons protest. Today? Anyone you mention it to either has no idea what you're talking about or is making a good show of feigning ignorance and concern for your mental stability. Has your memory been tampered with? Or are you truly losing it?

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. Network Glitches. Strange messages are coming through the network, embedded in posts from other users. Beyond anonymous and completely untraceable, these posters claim that Bifrons has changed more about you than you know. It's suggested that you look into past dealings with Kilo to gain better understanding of what you're up against. Do you investigate?

7. Wildcard. Choose your own adventure or create a cocktail from the presented options! The choice is YOURS.

Uh... Tex? I have no fucking clue where I am. Didn't you get that from what I said earlier?

You can't read a street sign?

That requires me to be outside. I haven't gone very far. Still adjusting to the body.

It's not the same as a robot.

So you're still where you showed up? Stay there.

[She knows where to head now. Tex incoming!]

Fine. I don't want to give you further reason to kick my ass.
ghostthatlingers: (These are my idiots)

Voice -> Action?

[personal profile] ghostthatlingers 2014-09-03 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Give me time, I'll find one.

[If he's anything like the actual Church, she will find many reasons.

Thankfully she lives in the same district that they seem to drag people into. It's oddly convenient for times like these, even if she's not sure what to think of her current housemates. She's bundled for the weather and standing as casually as she can near the entrance to the facility.]


I'm outside the building. Can you walk?

Voice -> action

[personal profile] differentsideofmyself 2014-09-03 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I know. You're good at that.

Give me a few minutes, and I'll be out. [Since the player still doesn't know what he's going to end up with for inventory, going to handwave his stuff having included some appropriate clothing. He's nervous once he gets outside.]
ghostthatlingers: (I'll let you take care of that)

action

[personal profile] ghostthatlingers 2014-09-03 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, this is weird. She turns to face him when she hears the door open and immediately her eyes are examining every inch of him.]

You're Epsilon?

[Unlike some of the other AIs, he's probably pretty familiar. Like another Church. Though, he's uneasy, to say the least.] And you're Texas. Glad we got that out of the way without one hundred homicidal robot versions of you trying to kill my friends this time.
ghostthatlingers: (Do not even go there)

action

[personal profile] ghostthatlingers 2014-09-03 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Just call me Tex and what the hell are you talking about? [Homicidal robots? Friends? She's just going to focus on these details since yeah, weird as hell to have another 'Church' running around.]

[personal profile] differentsideofmyself 2014-09-03 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Fine, Tex.

As for what I mean? The Director would never give up on getting you right.
ghostthatlingers: (These are my idiots)

[personal profile] ghostthatlingers 2014-09-03 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[She snorts and motions for him to follow her. Figures it's related to more bs by the Director.] He's going to have to. Are you hungry?
differentsideofmyself: (Default)

action

[personal profile] differentsideofmyself 2014-09-03 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
He did. It just took... Outside intervention.

[He pauses at that question.] I guess so. It's strange getting used to feeling hunger like that.
ghostthatlingers: (I know something you don't)

action

[personal profile] ghostthatlingers 2014-09-03 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[She's just going to let the Director conversation drop for now. She has to live with the damn guy, for now anyway.]

Wait until you take a bite of something. It's a lot better than the memories. We can find somewhere to sit down.
differentsideofmyself: (Default)

action

[personal profile] differentsideofmyself 2014-09-03 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Because it'll be my own experience. Not memories filtered through a few others. [He likes being something other than a memory...]

Lead the way.
ghostthatlingers: (I'll let you take care of that)

[personal profile] ghostthatlingers 2014-09-03 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[Food place, food place... She's leading the way all right and she thinks she knows of a cafe-type place that serves hot beverages and simple food. It'll work and she heads that way.]

So you remember his memories and everything from the Project?

[Following.]

I know about everything.

Church doesn't. He knows vaguely, but he doesn't need all the gruesome details.

[Hint hint, wink wink, nudge nudge.]
differentsideofmyself: (Default)

action

[personal profile] differentsideofmyself 2014-09-04 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
I understand. He doesn't need to know. Unless he's dumb enough to start pushing. Then, it's his own damn fault.
ghostthatlingers: (Do not even go there)

action

[personal profile] ghostthatlingers 2014-09-04 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
[She rolls her eyes.] That's not going to be a problem. He's already trying to forget what he does know.
differentsideofmyself: (Default)

action

[personal profile] differentsideofmyself 2014-09-06 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
I won't tell him anything then. That just makes it easier. It's not something I'm happy remembering. He doesn't need it.
ghostthatlingers: Please do not take (All this junk)

action

[personal profile] ghostthatlingers 2014-09-06 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
No, he doesn't. He's having a hard enough time dealing with not being a ghost.

[Epsilon smirks.] The human body thing can't be that bad, right? I'm sure he'll adjust.

Or do you mean he finally realizes he's not a ghost?
ghostthatlingers: (Do not even go there)

action

[personal profile] ghostthatlingers 2014-09-07 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
That part. Give him another week, he might come to terms with it by then. [Maybe. She's really not sure.]
