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!

Doctor Chilton. And yourself?

[secondguess]

[ The briefest hesitation, the stifling of an echo. ]

Joan Watson.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Should I address you as Ms or Mrs?

[secondguess]

It's Ms, but Joan's fine.

[ as much as her friends wish otherwise!! ]

[slightlyoffchilt]

Joan, then. [Savoring the name. He really only calls three people by their first name: Abel, Hannibal, and Danger.


And the last is only because he isn't aware of a surname for Danger.]

What are you going to do here Joan? Or rather, what did you used to do?

[secondguess]

I'm a consulting detective with the New York City Police. [ confidant!! ] I'd prefer to get back to that.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Oh, yes. Law enforcement. Consulting enforcement, no doubt.

[Sounds too similar to WILL GRAHAM, he has suspicions.]

[secondguess]

[ squints ]

It's not as glamorous as it sounds, trust me.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I was a consultant for the FBI, once. A psychological consultant, for profiling.

[secondguess]

What do you do now?

[slightlyoffchilt]

[Gleefully:] I am the Chief of Staff at the Norman Osborn Hospital of Psychiatric Evaluation!

[secondguess]

And is that here in New... No, sorry, not New York. Is that in these parts?

[slightlyoffchilt]

Just outside the, ah, the City.

[secondguess]

How did you get hired in a position like that here? [ you are a kidnap victim too right ] Did you have to go through a full-length recertification?
