CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING--

[gabbie]

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.

Esther Blanchett | Trinity Blood (1)

[becameasaint]

[Esther doesn't waste any time escaping the room she found herself in. It's obviously a defective old piece of Lost Technology in the heart of the Ghetto. She needs to get outside to see if she can find Cain And Father Nightroad.

Things are never that simple for Esther. When she emerges from the building, the saint instantly pales and scarcely believes what she is seeing. Esther looks like she's emerged from a war zone with a freshly bandaged arm, still damp hair and dress, and sawed off shotgun in hand. Her finger eases further away from the trigger at the sight of civilians, but she's not putting it away just yet. There could still be a threat out here... if she isn't hallucinating which Esther is certain she is.]

Maybe I lost more blood than I thought...

[tesselate]

[Luckily, Billy happens to be in the area and runs up to her!!]

Are you alright?! What happened to you?

[Unfortunately the Porter did tend to bring people a the wrong moments. And this seemed like one of those.]

[becameasaint]

[Despite likely being in the same age group as Billy, she still softens at the sight of him. Esther smiles to reassure the stranger.]

I'm fine. I just... ran into a bit of trouble. [Okay so several attempts on her life in one day is more than a 'bit of trouble' but, Esther doesn't want to worry him!]

Do you know what's going on here?

[tesselate]

Yeah you've been pulled here by the Porter, it kind of happens to people sometimes. And unfortunately you can't go home yet - we're working on that -- but do you need help? There's a place near by they an do that for you.

[becameasaint]

[Esther stares at Billy genuinely wondering if this is his idea of a prank before deciding it didn't matter. She does need help. Maybe she can sort this out better once she's received it.]

... I could use a proper bandage. I don't think the person who did this knew what they were doing. [She frowns at it. Cain did sort of wrap it over her dress sleeve. She doubted he even knew well enough to clean it.]

[tesselate]

Okay, yeah, lets go get you some help.

[He offers his hand to her since magic is definitely a much better method of transportation than walking.]

[retropolis]

Oh my goodness.

[ He looks shocked, appalled, and concerned all at once, taking in the combination of her wounds and her shotgun. What on earth... he doesn't approach too quickly, just in case. ]

Uh, you should put the gun down, Miss. You're probably in shock.

[becameasaint]

[Esther blinks twice. This probably does look worrisome to the people around her, doesn't it? She takes a quick look around her before lifting the side of her dress up to place her gun back in its holster next to a rather scary looking silver dagger.]

I'm sorry. I really didn't mean to frighten anyone. [She releases the folds of her dress, properly hiding both weapons, before offering a sheepish smile.] I am Sister Esther Blanchett and this... isn't where I'm supposed to be, sir. I don't suppose you have a better explanation than the machine inside there did?

[retropolis]

[ He doesn't see the dagger, at least, because he's modestly averted his gaze as she draws the side of her dress up. ]

It's all right, I-I'm sure you must be confused. [ He looks back as she introduces herself. ] Unfortunately, what you've already heard is the truth of it. No matter how absurd it seems.
