IT'S TIME TO PARTY ALL NIGHT

[erewhile]

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. It’s up to you!

Rorschach / Watchmen

[whisperno]

[He's managed to get a hold of a spare communicator somehow?! Either way, the name on the network reads Beware scum | Rorschach What a pleasant person, clearly

A video of an inkblot stained masked appears, presumably being worn by a man. His voice is gravelly, and threatening.]

Depraved filth. No matter where. No matter what universe. Always the same. Always sickening.

Watch out, filth. Lock your doors at night. Bar your windows. Try to feel safe.

It won't help.

*-*

[retropolis]

[ Good first impressions really aren't your thing, huh Rorschach. Nelson recognizes him, at least. ]

Um-- good, that's the spirit! [ Sorta. ] Although you may want to save any extremes for, uh, later. I'd recommend?

screams into fists

[fronttowardenemy]

Death won't help either.

They come back.

[comicbookvillain]

[at least the network knows whats up i guess]

Apparently the Porter decided she needed you among our ranks.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Is this conversation meant for someone in particular? Because it's out where everyone can see it.

hi........

[ropedin]

[ Oh no. ]

Their efforts would be in vain regardless. They find comfort in small efforts to feel safe, but the problem is their complacency with the source of the problem.

I need-- I-I need to--

[ the woman on camera has on perfect red lipstick. her hair is pulled back neatly from her face. if it wasn't for the fact that she's clearly counting out deep breaths and teetering on the edge of a nervous breakdown, she might seem like a very put-together sort. ]

Who is in charge here? I want-- I need to speak with whoever's in charge.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I am Chief of Staff.

[That's in charge, right???]

[enabeled]

That depends. In charge of what?

[ His tone is incredibly calm, in contrast. ]

You know, you seem a little upset.

[viced]

Well, ah, I don't know about completely in charge, but I'm the Mayor. What do you need?

[detriments]

I could speak to someone, if you'd like.

Why couldn't this place give me some cool power beyond the normal, amazing stuff I already do? Something useful, maybe? Like the ability to make really convincing fake IDs. Not that I've ever needed one.

(can't app 'til the season ends in january but too bad i wanna go now)

[slightlyoffchilt]

And what is it that you already do, then?

[detriments]

Don't despair just yet. I'm sure something can be arranged.

[retropolis]

Maybe so that you can learn -- uh -- to be less reliant on them. Powers aren't everything.

[buttpatting]

[is that

teenage girl

he smells?]

Why make fake IDs? Youth should be enjoyed, not hurried. Being older is not all that people might make it out to be.

I FUCKING HATE YOU GUYS | I HATE EVERYTHING

[firstinstinct]

[ It doesn't take him long to start texting on the network, if anything, it's probably one of the quickest times.

It's all text, but it reads something quite simply: ]

Superheroes are a bit silly, aren't they?

AKJW?

[ Yes, that's it. ]

[slightlyoffchilt]

JWUE? ASLKKJA? RAS?

Random Acronyms, that's the last one.

See how obnoxious that is?

[detriments]

Very silly. But quite charming as well.

[enabeled]

Really depends on what you're comparing them to.

i love you guys | i love everything

[secondguess]

Okay, this? This is not okay. [ A woman's voice, clearly agitated, but with a level, firm tone belying a rigid spine. ] You do not just kidnap someone in the middle of a case and act like some tourism brochures are gonna cut it for explanations.

Who do I have to talk to to get back to real New York?

[fronttowardenemy]

You can't.

[ so helpful. ]

Bane | DC | Not Nolan | ARE YOU HAPPY SARA

[breakyou]

[ A post to the Network reveals (what is to some) a familiar face, and an accented voice. ]

Even in over a year's time, it appears very little has changed.

Hello again, City.

yes

[enigmaestro]

[Somewhere, upon some world's stage, a mic has dropped.

Or he fumbled his communicator a little bit, that's likely the more reasonable possibility.]

Seriously? Really, honestly, seriously?!

[slightlyoffchilt]

This has got to be the most dramatic reaction I've seen with regard to the lunar phallus.

Are you wearing a tuxedo?

the sentry | marvel | because

[couldbeavoided]

( action? or video, whichever. )

[ There's something powerful about the man in the golden uniform, radiating a bright glow from both his skin and his eyes. At first it's nearly blinding, all that gold and light, but then it slowly dims like a suffocating candle. He stares out, now, blue eyes large and wide. ]

I shouldn't be here.

[liverletdie]

[ As if someone like Tony Stark could ever, ever ignore someone that looks like that. Or ignore the fact that it's Bob. ]

Well, none of us should be here, but it's something that keeps happening. [ A pause. ] Welcome back.
