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!

Okay, if we're calling you a man now or something. What stupid shrink-talk thing are you implying now?

[slightlyoffchilt]

Your powertrip fantasies likely revolve around inciting chaos, uprooting and upsetting those who structurally hold power over you.

And since we live in a patriarchy, well.

[yourpiecenow]

You say "fantasies" as if that's not something I can literally do. [KILLIN MEN MISANDRY ALL DAY ERRDAY]

[slightlyoffchilt]

[JUST AS HE FEARED!!]

Right. And what are you thinking of doing, as of right now?

[yourpiecenow]

Uh... Probably gonna go get Chipotle or something. [misandry witches need to eat too]

[slightlyoffchilt]

In terms of your fantasies.

[yourpiecenow]

Oh, yeah, right.

[dot dot dot] I don't know! I can't think of things under pressure.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I can't help but think that you're playing coy.

[yourpiecenow]

What, do you think I just sit around and plot the downfall of losers like you? I have better things to do with my time. I have Netflix.

[slightlyoffchilt]

As if your type of psychosis doesn't get off on the ruination of others.

[yourpiecenow]

[HOLD UP EVERY FUCKING PHONE]

Psychosis?!

[slightlyoffchilt]

Uh, yes. Aside from your malignant narcissism, you've clearly got antisocial personality disorder.

[yourpiecenow]

Have you just been doing some psychoanalysis bullshit this entire time? Jesus, you're a fucking creep.

And they let you run an entire hospital? I feel sorry for whoever got lucky enough to be locked up with you!

[slightlyoffchilt]

Wouldn't it be funny if you found yourself under my treatment?

[Hilarious.]

In due time, perhaps.

[yourpiecenow]

Wow. How are you not in jail? For something. Anything.

If you ever come near me, I will light your balls on fire.

[slightlyoffchilt]

If you end up in my hospital, you've only yourself to blame. I can't take responsibility for your actions.

Threats included.

[yourpiecenow]

Do your patients try to kill you very often, and how much do they suck if they actually haven't managed to do it yet?

[yeah remember that whole holding your organs in your arms like a new mother thing

imagine that but if gideon could move shit with his mind]

[slightlyoffchilt]

My patients would never harm me.

[HE DOESN'T KNOW, HE'S PULLED JUST BEFORE THAT HAPPENS because it's funnier that way!!

Also his hubris is so fashionable it's GUTTING EDGE aw yeah.

But yeah Madison, that's terrifying.]

I've established meaningful relationships with them.

[yourpiecenow]

[this would be the part where nan would laugh really, really hard but she's not here and so we all suffer for it]

You don't establish meaningful relations with normal people, but you do with psychos? That's great.

[slightlyoffchilt]

That's the essence of my career. You might find it rather relevant.

[yourpiecenow]

I'm just saying that maybe, maybe, a life of not being able to make friends with normal people left you kind of screwed up when it comes to interacting with them.

I know it'd be so much easier for you to compute this if I were some kind of raging psycho, but. Life is disappointing.
