goshdarnspam | IT'S TIME TO PARTY ALL NIGHT

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!

You're a shrink? That's even sadder. But, I guess you get along great in this nuthouse.

[or asylum

hee. asylum.]

Haha, as if I've not heard that one before.

[Hey, middle-aged dudes can do sarcasm too!!]

Given your easy colloquialism, have you much experience with "shrinks"?

The kind in rehab, yeah, but I'll bet you think you're above all that.

Well, actually. Yes. I am above that. [And his demeanor shifts from embittered to enthusiastic:] I specialize in particular minds, particular psychopathy. Personality disorders that one might find rare even among the neuroatypical.

So, special crazies. The kind that drill holes in people's skulls and make tablecloths out of human skin.

[offhandedly:] The maid at my school is a serial killer.

And were you on her to-do list? Presumably she's caught -- and not still. Active.

[He is doubting.]

Edited 2013-10-28 07:14 (UTC)

No, she only killed slaves, and, you know. That kind of doesn't exist anymore. She gets really upset about it; it's kind of funny.

So you've been to rehabilitation? Are you still on drugs?

Hey, asshole, did you miss the whole "I'm a witch" thing at the beginning? The immortal zombie Madame LaLaurie cleaning my socks is seriously not even the weirdest thing about my life.

Besides, I just snorted some coke. It wasn't a big thing.

Ah. Cocaine. That explains it.

So then if I were to inquire what might be the weirdest thing about your life, would I regret asking?

My friend kills people with her vagina.

That's pretty much the top one, yeah.

That's disgusting. And unhygienic.

Yeah, she's kind of the Heart-guy of our group. But, she has a zombie boyfriend now, so I think she'll be fine.

You can't be that young, if you're making Captain Planet references.

[Look he just doesn't want to seem creepier okay.]

[TOO LATE]

What, afraid I'm actually an FBI agent?

Regardless if you were -- which you are not, and I know, as some of my best acquaintances are FBI agents -- what could you do? You've no reason to pursue me.

[On the defensive quickly, isn't he?]

"Acquaintances." [bitch she sees you]

And who knows? Maybe you're on some watch list somewhere for some heinous shit. It's always the weird ones.

Yes, acquaintances. I like to keep a polite distance.

From everyone.

Sad, but practical. [she does the same thing, really. PEOPLE ugh]

Good job just outright ignoring the whole "you're on an FBI watch list for doing terrible stuff" accusation thing, though. I bet it was really bad, now.

I haven't done anything illegal.

[UUUH except that whole psychic driving/psychologically abusing patients thing.]

You seem rather eager to blacklist me. Hatred of authority figures?

Yes, because Daddy didn't hug me enough as a kid. Is that what we're doing now, Doc?

I'd be shocked if you had a paternal figure in your life. Actually.

Of course I do. I have a mom.

That bitch stole half my coke.

Nice to know there's a genetic component.

What, to being a cokehead? No shit. Did you get your doctorate out of a cereal box?
