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!

:O who is this!!

[gevurah]

[ Oh yeah, this has got to be him. She's heard enough about him to know. ]

As crazy as it sounds, we're in another universe.

Your worst nightmare.

[batmanbungledeverything]

[What gave him away?]

Sure, and I'm the Batman.

[He doesn't believe it.]

[gevurah]

[ A light noise of amusement. ]

I thought that was supposed to be a secret.

[batmanbungledeverything]

It is, but I figure it's safe to let you in on it as no one's going ta believe a word you say anyways.

[gevurah]

Probably not.

[ She pauses, dropping the humor. ]

There are usually pamphlets in the Porter building. It covers the basics.

[batmanbungledeverything]

Yeah, I skimmed through it. [No he didn't.]

Can't say I plan on doing any sight seeing, figure I'll just catch the next train back to Gotham.

[gevurah]

I wasn't joking about it not existing here.

Check Google maps.

[batmanbungledeverything]

Think I'll trust my gut instead.

[gevurah]

Suit yourself, then.

[batmanbungledeverything]

I'll do just that Miss...

...Just who exactly do I have the "pleasure" of speakin' to anyways?

[gevurah]

Kate Kane. [ Without knowing when he's from exactly, she refrains from calling him by his title in the force. ] You... were an old friend's partner for a while.

[batmanbungledeverything]

Right. Nice to meet you, Toots. [He's heard the name before, but Harvey isn't that great at being respectful.]

Huh. I've had my fair share of partners, gonna have to be more specific than that.

[gevurah]

[ Awkward. ]

... Montoya.

[batmanbungledeverything]

Oh yeah? Well for your information, Montoya is my partner. Unless I missed a memo somewhere along the line.

[gevurah]

No, not you. [ She sounds mildly exasperated. ] It's the machine that brought you here.
