IT'S TIME FOR DIPPING STICKS AND...


TEST DRIVE MEME


Are you thinking about apping to to Cape & Cowl, but you want to get a feel of the setting and how your character will fit in it? Then you’ve come to the right place! Pick any of the following scenarios below or feel free to make up your own, and don’t be afraid to throw yourself at anyone’s thread, either!

And remember to have fun!

1. As you exit the Porter Building, the ambient noises you heard, so faint back inside where you found yourself at the center of glowing platform alone – save for the black screen and the female voice who greeted you – erupt in every direction. Every corner you look is bustling with people and cars and bicycles; people going about their everyday life, unaware you’re one of them: an imPort.

2. Or perhaps your bizarre behaviour or appearance catches their attention. Maybe it’s the communicator you picked up before leaving. Either way, several Cityzens headed your way come to a full stop immediately, each one eyeing you differently. Some looks outright afraid, others seem intrigued, and then there are the others whose surprise fades quickly and they carry on past you without as much a second glance.

3. Confused? The Network seems like a good place to start with soliciting information. There appear to be three functions for you to access: AUDIO, VIDEO, and TEXT. Make some friends while you’re at it!

4. Maybe you’re just thrilled to be here and help. The night time is a great time to scope out the underbelly of the City and its criminals. There’s always something going on in its more troubled corners: breaking and entering, drugs or arms trafficking, an attempting kidnapping... the list goes on. The question is: what will you do, Hero?

5. Make up your own scenario, if you wish! You may have discovered the Porter has granted you the ability to make it hail cats. Or that your power of super speed is gone entirely. Maybe you’ve noticed the Statue of Liberty’s sporting a new look. It’s up to you!

... No, there is nothing else that night cheese would be. Do not complicate night cheese.

Well, if you want, just urinate around yourself and then yell at yourself for doing it. Welcome to Manhattan.

Uh? I don't know. Maybe find Bruce Wayne and see if he wants someone to disguise him better. I don't know .

( The lack of stuffiness inside the taxi is appreciated, though the sound of the AC (such small inside winds, what nonsense is this, producing such cool flowing air?!) has Sharon more wide eyed than she'd prefer, looking toward the vents, then out the window. Slow going as it is through traffic, it's astounding how many people (and how many taxi's!) there are all around.

She shakes her head, refocusing on Gilbert and not the distractions running course all around them. It's odd to be looking at him sideways rather than straight across, but the taxi wasn't even built for such niceties as a carriage could afford on that side of things either. )


With whatever comes easiest, I suppose. If it's not the beginning, then it's what stands out most strongly in mind. We can find our way backward and forward to understand the whole. For now, what's most important?

( A smile for Gil, and the cabbie; she feels him watching, catches his glimpse every so often in that odd mirror hanging on the front of the taxi's forward facing window. )

What other asylums are you running, Frederick? Any in New York?
enabeled: (tag your #spoilers though)

[personal profile] enabeled 2013-09-08 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh... right. That part.

Not really a secret, though, is it? Everybody knows that if you don't behave yourself then no one lets you do anything.

We'll see. Seems like the jury is out on just how law enforcement gets handled around here. I can't be expected to adhere to rules no one can decide on.

[ Loopholes. Gotta love 'em. ]

Oh, I'm not ashamed of it. Anyone can be meant for anything. And not everyone can be meant for everything.

So sue me for just saying what everyone else is thinking.

[ He tilts his head, contemplating a little theatrically. ]

Well. Just what are the "rules" around here?

Yeah, I read it. [ His tone is nonchalant. ] Pamphlets never really cover everything, though, do they? On paper and in practice can be two very different things.

There ain't no need to be offensive, officer.

Almost a week. [Elliot, on the other hand, responds easily and doesn't have to think hard on his answer. Finding himself here was disorienting at first, certainly, but once his mind became clear, getting the hang of things was easy. He didn't like being here but he intended to make the most of the clarity that he had now.

He explains as he leads him down the street, looking around as he goes for a good place to stop for food.]
It's not unusual for people to be here much longer. Sometimes, it can be months, and other times, years.

The law enforcement is a bit different, it's true. But I'm sure you'll do just fine.

[Hannibal loves loopholes, too. Like, way too much. Bros.]

What's your next order of business, after ice cream? Going for a walk in the park? Sleeping on a bench just because you're out of a cell? I can't imagine how refreshing it must be to be out of that [shithole] place.

I haven't decided. Get some shoes, I think. Then who knows? The world is my oyster. Far as I can tell, I don't have any pressing engagements... not anymore. Not here.
buttpatting: you don't HAVE to listen to me god i'm just trying to help (or you could just continue being dumb)

You haven't had the chance to buy your own clothes in years, have you? Fashion has changed.

[He has to do this. Abel Gideon isn't very worthy, it's true, but he's worth more than being too out of the loop to realize that Crocs are not

to be

tolerated

in any way.
]

I'll go with you, get you settled. Find things that flatter and suit and fit as opposed to simply picking up the first things you come across. How does that sound to you, Doctor Gideon?
