CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING--


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.

I'm sure Doctor Chilton has more important things to occupy himself with that giving tours.

Well he certainly doesn't have the patients. [ Hah. ] ...I'd offer, but I get the feeling that tour would conclude with you wanting me back in handcuffs.

[She's not ready for this conversation yet.]

I'm not affiliated with any law enforcement here, Doctor Gideon. While I can't say I'm not concerned about your mental state and what you might do now that you're going to be exposed to the public again, I have no authority to detain you.

Is that a promise? Or a fact?

Because in that case we really should talk sometime. Face to face. Promise not to kill you.
guestlectures: (pauses)

[personal profile] guestlectures 2013-09-30 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
It's a fact.

[Pause.]

It's a general policy of mine not to meet former patients in social situations, both for my safety and that of my patients'.

If you want to meet then there are some ground rules which we are both going to have to agree to.
enabeled: and full of snow (whoa daylight)

[personal profile] enabeled 2013-09-30 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm presuming we'll both be paying for our own coffee.

I'm listening, Dr. Bloom. I am capable of following rules. As you may know.

[ Capable, at least, for a while. ]

[surprisingly, your reassurance doesn't make her feel any better about this.]

First, you need to make a decision. I can either continue to work with you professionally, or we can occasionally meet in the company of others. There is no middle ground, and there can be no crossover.
enabeled: (secondhand embarrassment)

[personal profile] enabeled 2013-10-02 07:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ Just can't make it easy, can you. ]

If it's your professional opinion that I'm after, I think meeting in the company of others might only complicate things.
guestlectures: (pauses)

[personal profile] guestlectures 2013-10-03 07:36 am (UTC)(link)
[It's not her. It's you.]

Until I'm confident that you won't act violently towards me, I'm afraid that's how it's going to have to be.
enabeled: (they spelled my name wrong)

[personal profile] enabeled 2013-10-03 07:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ SO DIFFICULT. ]

Fine.

Then I'll wait. Or I'll find someone else. [ Beat. ] But you know, you helped me more than anyone else. I was really hoping it could be you.
guestlectures: (thoughtful)

[personal profile] guestlectures 2013-10-03 08:31 am (UTC)(link)
I like being able to help people, but that can't take precedence over my own safety.

[Just ask Will Graham. Ahahahaaaa...]
enabeled: (please pay attention to me tho)

[personal profile] enabeled 2013-10-03 03:08 pm (UTC)(link)
If I wanted to hurt you right now, Dr. Bloom, I wouldn't arrange it with you ahead of time.
guestlectures: (pauses)

[personal profile] guestlectures 2013-10-03 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm aware of that. But as a professional I need to be honest with you from the outset about any reservations I have in either treating or interacting with you. I'd like to think that some set boundaries will be helpful rather than detrimental to you.
enabeled: (what the fuck is up with those eggs)

[personal profile] enabeled 2013-10-03 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Problem is, there isn't really any neutral party that can act on my behalf. Though plenty that might act on yours.
guestlectures: (professional)

[personal profile] guestlectures 2013-10-04 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
You're in no danger from me, Dr. Gideon.
enabeled: it is a mystery (don't ask where we got these supplies)

[personal profile] enabeled 2013-10-05 02:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I know. Nor you from me. But I don't imagine others might see it that way.
guestlectures: (professional)

[personal profile] guestlectures 2013-10-08 06:55 am (UTC)(link)
As far as I'm aware there are only five of us from our world. It shouldn't be hard to find neutral parties.
