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!

[HEY THEY WERE SOME GOOD LEGS OKAY]

Does it matter? It's my name.

[buttpatting]

[THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER DEEP FRIED american horror story needs to get on this cannibal stuff ASAP]

A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet, so perhaps your name doesn't really matter, no.

[how do she feel about being called maddie]

[yourpiecenow]

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.

[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?

[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?

[yourpiecenow]

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

[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.

[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.

[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.

[buttpatting]

[is she calling him old, because that's what he hears]

I meant Louisiana. I've heard that they have great cuisine. I have no desire to go to Mardi Gras, and not because I would get the vapors.

[The only tits Hannibal likes are the ones he's pushing aside to get at a pair of lungs, thanks.]

[yourpiecenow]

[if you're older than 25 you might as well be dead]

Yeah, I guess, if you're into that sort of thing.

[a beat] And you'd so get the vapors. You're the pearl-clutching type, I can tell.

[buttpatting]

[Only in Hollywood!]

You can tell.

[He'd talk about how surgeons see the naked body and psychiatrists see the naked human mind, but he's not here to lecture. That, and there's something more important at stake.]

Is that part of you being a witch? You can just tell things about people?

[yourpiecenow]

No, I just understand people. I don't have that many powers; I'm not the Supreme or anything. [probably. most likely. we'll see. i think it's nan]

[buttpatting]

If you're truly so good at understanding people, you could excel in most any career. The world is your oyster. Limiting yourself to the film industry would be a great shame.

[Yeah, she totally seems like the type to do overseas peace work. Definitely.]

[yourpiecenow]

I do it for the money.

[duh]

[buttpatting]

Money is a great motivator.

[She's totally not doing it for the attention

#thingshannibalwouldneverbelieve]

I always heard it said that actors didn't make much money to begin with, that they had to work their way to making a great deal. Unless they had connections in the beginning, of course. Famous parents or family members.

[yourpiecenow]

[she does it for the applause-plause]

Well, gosh, wouldn't that be lucky?

[buttpatting]

[and they say she's so lucky, she's a star, but she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart]

Or terrible, if the person in question proves to be less than adequate with their acting skills.

[or they're not hot enough to make it, whatever, hannibal doesn't do hollywood]
