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.

Yeah, well, the hero thing is strictly optional, not many of us take it very seriously, and Lachesis is pretty indiscriminate about who she drags in off the pedestrian travel strip of the spacetime continuum.

Not starting off very pleasant, is it?

Eh. It could be worse. When you've spent three years drifting through either the endless abyss or a dreamscape full of ghosts, this place doesn't look that bad. At least there's fast food.

Is it a whole world, or just this City? Looks a lot like New York.

Yeah, it's pretty much a duplicate of what I assume is your Earth. Most of the craziness is localized in the City. Things were relatively quiet when I lived in Lousiana for a couple of months. Sometimes it spills over, though. Mostly when we move around en masse.

So does Scotland exist here? How weird do you think it is?

[important questions with amy pond]

Uh, okay I don't know if it's obvious by looking at me, but I'm not actually local to this planet. What's a Scotland?

Well I figured, but that doesn't mean you aren't familiar with it now that you're here.

But it's a country just north of England. Across the pond. Is there a map on this device?

Oh yeah, I know England. Pretty sure we got ourselves banned from there a while back, along with a couple of other countries. I don't know about a map, but there's a web browser you can use.

[one quick look through the browser later and]

Oh, yup, still there. Home sweet alternate universe home. What do think, try and go back? Or bum around this place for a bit enjoying myself?

Depends on whether you prefer a quiet life or one of action. The reason I came back here after Louisiana was mainly because it was simply boring as fuck. Especially when everyone's always smearing their business all over the network, it's like, if there's a cholerbear rampaging through Times Square, some part of you just feels obligated to see it.

Okay, yeah, I think I'll pick the bear-whatever. Maybe go back and see what it's like, just for fun, and then come stay here for the real action.

Anyway... this Doctor you're looking for, he doesn't wear a bowtie, does he?

That sounds like someone I know. Have you seen him?

If it's the same guy, yeah. I never really talked to him, but I saw him around on the Network occasionally. Bowtie, insufferably cheerful, mentioned something called a TARDIS every now and again. Honestly, he seemed pretty fucking annoying. Don't know why you're looking for him.

I haven't seen him in months, though, so your best assumption right now is that he's been sent back to your stretch of reality.

A month ago? I see.

Guess I'll wait here then. He'll come back.
