IT'S TIME FOR DIPPING STICKS AND...

[erewhile]

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!

[There's a long pause as she debates.

Oh, what the hell.]

[whocouldwinarabbit]

[he is an actual child.]

[alure]

[Oh good. That she can handle.]

S?

[whocouldwinarabbit]

[aw bless, he personalized it for her.]

[alure]

The scarf should count as a separate body part.

[Only mildly pouting, okay.]

T.

[whocouldwinarabbit]

DON'T COMPLAIN. IT'S NOT BECOMING OF A YOUNG LADY.

[alure]

It's a fact. The body existed before the scarf.

R.

[whocouldwinarabbit]

TAKE IT OFF AND PUT IT BACK ON AND I'LL CONSIDER GIVING YOU A BONUS TURN.

[alure]

[Well. That shuts her up.]

[breakingmad]

Hah! Hah. [Fillmore can't help but admire good detail, really.] Oh, hrm. How did these batteries get back in...? Ah.

Technology.

[And addressed to Abigail, since it's so rude to hijack, and his doctor wouldn't approve:] It captures your whimsical youth pretty well, yeah?

omg come to my bosom fillmore

[whocouldwinarabbit]

YEAH, I'M A REGULAR MICHELANGELO, OVER HERE.

YOU WANT I SHOULD DO ONE OF YOU?

what a lovely place to come... wait

[breakingmad]

Tempting, tempting. Tempting. But I, ah, can't get too much exposure. In the hypothetical, I mean. Real crime's all good and well -- after the fact. I can do real good there.

Sorry. Doctor's orders.

[alure]

Oh-

[Yup. Hands going back up to the scarf again. Smoothing it down into place. With a small smile. She doesn't get many compliments, these days.]

I don't know. There's not much 'whimsical' left in the world.

[breakingmad]

[He is sure that reaction is something akin to flirting. Ripe observational skills weren't ripped away in the lobotomy don't you know!!

Pretty sure they neurological surgical procedures in this comic book would drive you bonkers, Stacey.]

Won't argue that. Makes what's left all the more precious, doesn't it?

[It's a sincere question. Fillmore was never very attuned to these sort of priorities.]

Doesn't it?
