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.

[ Frank watches him, following the motions of his hands with deliberate emphasis, and glancing up again when he finishes.

Well, he has learned one thing: he is Groot.

Possibly. Maybe.

Yeah. This is getting nowhere fast. ]

I think your translator is a little faulty.

[Who even knows at this point? He could be Groot. You could be Groot. Maybe, in some way, we're all just a little bit Groot.

Have you ever thought of that, Frank?]

I am Groot?

[Groot didn't even know he was supposed to get a translator.]

Yeah. I got that.

[ Why is this even happening. ]

I think you should go back to the Porter and get that looked at.

[ Come to think of it, is he even being understood? Who can tell? It is a mystery. ]

[Groot looks more than a little annoyed with Frank.

He can understand your stupid earth language just fine, it's not his fault that you're too dense to understand the subtle intricacies of his own glorious words. Maybe you should go to the Porter and get your ears checked out.]

I am Groot.

You sure are.

[ This is going to get old fast. Frank glances around, but he doesn't seem to find anyone nearby to dump the creature off on.

That's just great. ]

Come on then, if you're coming.

[Groot gives Frank the evil-eye for a moment.

He's not some sort of imbecile, you know! He doesn't need someone to hold his hand. Groot is the scion of a royal sap-line, and has recieved the finest education available from some of the most gifted tutors on his planet. He's one of the Galaxy's foremost experts on quasi-dimensional super-positional engineering.

He's pretty sure he can find his own way around this d'ast earth city. Thanks.]

[...

Oh, alright, he'll follow you.

Y'know, just until he gets his bearings.]
