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!

What are you a doctor of, anyway? Literature?

[how do you feel about being on fire]

[buttpatting]

I used to be a surgeon, but then I moved to psychiatry.

[PICK A PHD ANY PHD]

Though I'm taking that assumption as a compliment, Miss Montgomery.

[detriments]

Oh, no, we wouldn't want that. I never saw the appeal of ruining a perfectly good shirt myself.

Let's just say this is a place ripe with opportunities. You just have to find the right string to pull.

[detriments]

Maybe you just haven't met the right ones. I'm sure that's about to change.

[yourpiecenow]

Am I the only one kind of weirded out that this place is crawling with shrinks? I mean, there must be a reason for it, right?

[detriments]

A very good friend, if you want me to be.

[a pause. She makes it clear she's being playful soon enough. To help her relax, perhaps.]

Christine Stanford.

[yourpiecenow]

And you'd be one of those strings, right? [and history just repeats itself on and on]

because brian de palma that's why

[detriments]

Well. This is the right place for righteous heroes.

[buttpatting]

It's not crawling with us, no. Some of us are just...quite vocal.

It's a career that one earns, and it is of interest to some people. Like your movie career is of interest. You had to work for it, did you not?

[this is a chance to talk about herself

take the bait y/n]

[yourpiecenow]

Of course I did. [no she didn't this is a lie] I mean, I was just taking a break. For school. Witch school.

[buttpatting]

[lies are how murder family happens

murder family meaning veal

super-roasted over a bonfire sorry abigail you've been replaced]

Is that very common where you're from? Witch school?

[mariachi band playing the sound of silence]

[invoking]

[ He gapes long at the sight on his screen. That familiar golden glow... ]

... You?

[detriments]

I've been known to be a very valuable friend.

[yourpiecenow]

I don't know. It's run by a bunch of crazy old bitches who keep us in the dark about everything.

[yourpiecenow]

And what would you want from me in exchange for this "friendship."

[buttpatting]

Sounds a bit like regular boarding school. Certain people will invariably find it to be more of a prison or an asylum than a school, no matter how kind and patient the instructors are.

[Not Hannibal, though. Model student.]

Perhaps it was decided you needed a break from taking a break.

[detriments]

Depends. What are these amazing things you can do?

[yourpiecenow]

Move shit with my mind and light shit on fire.

You know, the usual.

[detriments]

You should know quite a lot about starting a little trobule, then.

[yourpiecenow]

It does sound a lot more fun here than it was in Louisiana.

[buttpatting]

[Oh, well, hey, hey there, that's a state Hannibal likes. It produces such lovely messes of people, after all.]

Is Mardi Gras not as "fun" as it is supposed to be?

[yourpiecenow]

Yeah, but that's only one week. The rest of the year is shitty Tulane frat boys and old tourists.

[yourpiecenow]

I've raised some Hell in my time. Why?

[buttpatting]

Perhaps it's best I've never been, if that's the case.

[he'll stick with minnesota, thanks]

[yourpiecenow]

Why would a stuffy dude like you go to Mardi Gras? It's all about booze and tits; you'd probably get the vapors or something.
