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!

[Kuranosuke would look absolutely aghast at the idea. He'd never buy anything but the best if he bought a wallet.] I suppose I could. [He sound a bit distant as he considers it. And then he realizes he's going to have a buy new clothes as it is. He only has the one outfit. It would figure he'd end up pulled away form home on a day when he hadn't packed extra clothes and the likes.

And then there was all his mother's clothing and jewelry he doesn't have here. He frowns then shakes his head.] I suppose a lot of shopping is in order!

[topslug]

[ She'd been worried about him to start, but he seems to have taken things in stride, so part of her relaxes a little. ]

Yes, especially since it's getting colder. [ No offense, but Kuranosuke's outfit probably wouldn't stand up well to a City winter... not that Yako's ever had to deal with one. ]

They don't give you much money to start with, so it might be a good idea to find a job, if you're planning to buy a lot. [ Though by the look of him, she wonders exactly how cut out for work this guy is going to be. ]

[fashionprincess]

[Winter is too great back home so he knows he'll have to be prepared. Although he can't tell what date it's supposed to be here.]

But I have my card, it should work here, right? [How little he knows...]

[topslug]

[ Oh, Kuranosuke. ]

I'm afraid not. The only money you get is what's provided in the account linked to your dog tags... and what you manage to make on your own, of course.

[fashionprincess]

[He looks like he might faint. Not at the prospect of having to work...surely he can find something he can, but at the fact that he doesn't have any of his father's money here. He has such expensive tastes after all.]

[topslug]

A-are you all right? [ She's been calm up to this point, but now she's worried: if he falls over, she'll have to drop her food to catch him. ]

[fashionprincess]

[Kuranosuke slowly nods.] Fine... Totally fine. [He sounds a little weak, however. What is he going to do? He can't see himself getting a job at most places. If it's too boring he'll likely quit in a matter of no time.]
