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!

Watson.

Joan Watson?

[But he just met her...]

Noooooooo. No.

[firstinstinct]

Yes! Obviously. Two individuals arriving from the same world to one place seems unusual, but I do see a history of it happening, if the network records are any indication.

I wouldn't act too surprised.

[slightlyoffchilt]

But she's so sensible. And you use inordinate acronyms.

How does she suffer you?

[firstinstinct]

[ Good question, and we all know that's not the half of it. ]

My work is exciting to her. She's a brilliant woman, and understands things quickly, it would be unsurprising that she would continue to work with me.

There are few lines of work where so much can be done, where one exercises both the mind and the body, where every scrap of knowledge could be useful at any time.

Or perhaps she is less sensible than you realize.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Then has she charmed both of us with her wiles? If the latter is more accurate.

[firstinstinct]

Perhaps you. I understand that she is looking for someone, but I don't think you're her type.

I don't think you would entice her for long, by any means.

[slightlyoffchilt]

That puts me in great company then, if she isn't enticed by you either.

[firstinstinct]

As well she shouldn't be! We are coworkers.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Like that's ever legitimately stopped anyone before.

[firstinstinct]

A fair assessment. Working closely together often means two people will find more in common than they would think.

However, Watson and I would not work well together in-tandem, as it were.

[slightlyoffchilt]

You don't appeal to her, sexually.

Is it bad baggage? Nasty exes?

[firstinstinct]

[ Bad Exes. ]

It's likely, yes. That combined with my tastes mean I'm not an appealing partner.

Is there a reason for these questions?

[ Why does he want to talk about joan and him... ]
