( 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.

Jesus. What part of the timeline are you from? None of us line up right. South's from the MOI fight, I'm from the fight with Wyoming and Tex a few years after that, North's from the fight with Maine a year after THAT, Delta's from meeting up with the Alpha, Caboose, and Wash after that, Tex and the Alpha are from somewhere in the middle of that mess with the meta, Theta- I don't know when theta's from but he's here too and Carolina's the furthest along of all of us.

...

I'm gonna have to update the chart. Again. Fantastic.

There has to be so we all know when we're from and who knows what.

[personal profile] differentsideofmyself 2014-09-03 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess that makes sense. What do you need to know for it?
goddamngrenades: (this'll be good)

[personal profile] goddamngrenades 2014-09-03 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Last thing you remember before waking up here?

I was working with Carolina to try to find some things. I don't know how much she's told you... And I don't want to annoy her.
goddamngrenades: (Who me?)

[personal profile] goddamngrenades 2014-09-03 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
How long since the EMP?
goddamngrenades: (Don't make me splain the thing)

[personal profile] goddamngrenades 2014-09-03 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
So you're roughly in the same place as Carolina?
differentsideofmyself: (Default)

[personal profile] differentsideofmyself 2014-09-03 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Did she ever mention me?
goddamngrenades: (and we died anyway)

[personal profile] goddamngrenades 2014-09-04 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
Not often. Things are...we don't talk about it much. It's complicated.
differentsideofmyself: (Default)

[personal profile] differentsideofmyself 2014-09-04 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
Before I tell you... I think I should check with her. If she's being like that...

She isn't going to take me spilling well. if she doesn't want you to know..
goddamngrenades: (sonovabitch)

[personal profile] goddamngrenades 2014-09-04 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
We all die and it's for nothing. I know that much already. Boo fucking hoo.

[ Tex told him. He's bitter about it. ]

I'm sorry, York. I actually wish I could say you were wrong. You're a good guy.
goddamngrenades: (Who me?)

[personal profile] goddamngrenades 2014-09-04 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
...see I was wondering how you were different from that asshole but- there it is right there. You and me? We're cool.
differentsideofmyself: (Default)

[personal profile] differentsideofmyself 2014-09-04 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
Glad to hear that we're cool, York. I really am.

Who else is here, anyway?
goddamngrenades: (i'm lost)

[personal profile] goddamngrenades 2014-09-04 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
Alpha, Beta, Delta, Theta, North, South, Carolina, Me, and now you. Welcome to the family.
differentsideofmyself: (Default)

[personal profile] differentsideofmyself 2014-09-06 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks. I appreciate the welcome. Really.
goddamngrenades: (Captain Morgan got nothing on me)

[personal profile] goddamngrenades 2014-09-06 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)
You got someone on the way to get you?
differentsideofmyself: (Default)

[personal profile] differentsideofmyself 2014-09-07 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
I think I do. As long as I can trust this Tex...
goddamngrenades: (cuz i am lately lonely)

[personal profile] goddamngrenades 2014-09-07 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
You can. I've talked to her, she's on the level. Might take you to the Alpha though and that guy? Is a dick. Seriously.
differentsideofmyself: (Default)

[personal profile] differentsideofmyself 2014-09-13 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
Trust me, York. I can take it.

I remember what he's like.
goddamngrenades: (i might be dead)

[personal profile] goddamngrenades 2014-09-13 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
He's a fucking ass that didn't tell me what happened to Delta. I kind of decked him. Knocked his helmet clean off.
