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.

[There goes that brief spark of joy at seeing a familiar face. WTG Chilton.]

You'll need to take that up with the Porter. I'm certain if you ask nicely I'll be returned.

[Oh how she wishes.]

[Aw yeah, and later he'll congratulate himself with an imaginary cigar, unless he can muster the money to attain a real cigar. He thinks like is hard now, but he doesn't know what happens by the end of Roti.]

No, "she" doesn't seem to heed the requests of her kidnapped victims. Not that I've tried asking. Naturally.

[Pyshic driving has worked so well for you in the past, doctor. Why not try it on the Porter now?

Is what he would say, if he wasn't the only person that she knew if this improbable world.]

How many people here have been kidnapped, do you know?

[WOW ALANA just imagine his indignation and sassy denial. It would lose some drama over text, so he'd have to throw in some tildes maybe.]

Oh. Truly. Am I a census taker now? I don't know, a hundred. Eight hundred. Somewhere between those two numbers.

[She can imagine. It hurts to imagine it. The imaginary tildes especially hurt.]

If I'm wasting your valuable time, I can ask some of the others here for more information about this city.

You can, true. Besides, I wouldn't want to distract you with details of one Will Graham's situation here. Whoops.

Will Graham is here as well?

[Though she realises the minute she's sent that that she's just playing into his hands.]

[Ha ahaha aha, he says to himself, in the dark lonely room he sits in.]

Oh yes. Seems a bit worse for wear, if you ask me. A bit. Unstable.

I'd expect most people who were kidnapped and brought to another world to be more than a little unstable, Doctor Chilton.

[But oh god, last she saw of him Will was in no state to be doing anything, let alone galivanting around a city full of superheroes.]

You don't seem to unstable right now. Or are you not included within "most people"?

Give me a few hours. Currently I'm still not certain I'm not having a very vivid dream.

Do you need someone to pinch you?

No thank you.

Have you encountered anyone with superhuman capabilities yet?

I wouldn't be a gentleman if I didn't insist. But to answer your question: no.

[he couldn't be a gentleman if his life depended on it]

I'm interested to see if it's a legitimate claim, and what, if any, these abilities are capable of.

I'll be sure to alert you, if ever necessary.

I'd appreciate it if you did.
