TEST DRIVE MEME

Thinking about joining Iterum? Unsure of who to bring or if they'll even fit the setting? Posting here offers you the chance to find out how they'll do while getting the sample for done for their application.

→ Comment down below with the character you'd like to test drive in the setting. Don't forget to add their name and canon in the subject line.
→ Choose a scenario or create your own, and tag around!
→ Test drives will be posted regularly in the months of March, June, September, and December.
→ Threads in the test drive are NOT eligible to use for activity checks, however, you can make them game canon if you wish and both you and your scene partner agree.

Possible Scenarios
Please note that all characters will initially arrive in their assigned housing; they are free to explore the City to their heart's content after that!

01. Arriving: You're pretty sure you knew where you were before you closed your eyes. But somewhere between then and now, you discover that you're definitely not there. In fact, the setting is so unfamiliar to you that it's bordering on unnerving and questions start to stack. Have you been abducted? Did you get drunk and pass out somewhere and not remember? Whatever the case, you need some answers. Or maybe this is familiar and the only thing that doesn't make sense is the layer of dust on everything around you which obviously means some time has passed. How much? No one seems to know. What you do know is that sitting around and waiting for answers is likely not going to happen.

So, you set out and hope to run into someone in the City that looks like they may be in a similar situation. Or, at the very least a person that might be able to provide some explanation. Veteran Chosen, make sure you warn the new people about the Shadows and advise them to steer clear of dark alleys and things that go bump in the night.

02. Party, party!: Now that you've arrived and hopefully settled, it's time to unwind. Inside your welcome basket is an invitation from the Duchess, who has decided to celebrate the growing population of the City with a massive "Welcome to the City" party in the Tower District. Wine spills free, and drugs abound, this is the kinda party that caters to all! The wicked and debauched demons and the good and decent who, if not careful, might end up tainted and corrupted at some point, like everyone else. Even if it's only for one night, why not cut loose and forget about whatever is pressing on your mind?

Nothing to wear? Check your closet, we're sure you'll find something suitable to wear.

03. Prominence: Everyone knows that the City sometimes influences its population on a monthly basis. Unfortunately, you arrived right in the middle of a heavy Prominence. Lust, Greed, Gluttony, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, or Pride: choose your sin and get wicked. You'll find it's hard to avoid being sinful, almost as if your basic instincts are taking over.

04. Run!: A lot can go wrong in the City; demon attacks, muggings or there's even danger of being plucked from the streets and forced to partake in the Coliseum's version of Fight Club (if you know, you know). There are plenty of unsavoury types that all Chosen must be aware of. They rule the night, and once the sun goes down it becomes the Sinning Hour. Demons and monsters and humans capable of inciting just as much fear, if not more, come out to play. Mind yourself. It's hardly a tea party out there.

05. Network: Broadcast a video, voice or text message to anyone in your phone's directory. All Chosen have a device that they can use to communicate. Those that are returning will find their phone as it was, though without any contact that was previously in the City that is not currently. For the newly Chosen, a device will be supplied in your welcome basket and will match the type of telecommunications that was being used at the time of their exit.

06. Wild Card: Choose your own adventure in the game's multiple settings!

Bardock looks up at the other woman and blinks when his scouter tends to pick up a ki level. "Huh?!" "You have a ki signature, but it's..not that high. Just who are you?!"

The Saiyan said with some degree of shock but he also tries to ignore his hurt "Ugh... Frieza... he tried to destroy my planet earlier..."

"I'll NEVER FORGIVE HIM!"

Devi's eyebrows lift at shouty bits that only turn into more shouty bits and most normal people with good sense might back away or something. That wasn't her style. Instead, she keeps her wide eyed expression and pushes to her feet, keeping half an eye on him as she dusts herself and her long black trench coat off.

"Friza. I've heard that name before. Arctus used to talk about him.." She frowns softly. "Shame I can't remember what he said about him..." But she looks back over at Bardock again and continues.

"My name is Devi D. One of the few people that are gonna know that you are a Saiyan. I mean, that is what you are, right, I'm not hallucinating that tail around your waist?"

The Saiyan stopped in shock as his scouter came back as a mid-level power level "You're an elite?"

He sighs "Not like it matters anymore anyway."

"Wait, you knew somebody who knew about the tyrant Frieza?"

"This Arctus, was he a Saiyan? Or another race?" "I tend to pass many people in the galaxy over the years. If you two truly are Saiyan, how did you survive? Frieza made sure to kill all of us personally. I barely escaped unscathed.

"I'm one of the surviving Saiyans, along with my two sons, Raditz and Kakkarot. Raditz went with Nappa and Prince Vegeta and I sent my youngest to Earth. But ... yeah I am a full-blooded Saiyan and no, my tail is real

"Devi, right? I'm Bardock."

Goddamn that scouter was interesting. She can't help but stare at it, taking it all in as Bardock goes on. Arriving somewhere new was always something of a traumatic ride and everyone dealt with that shock differently. Bardock clearly has some hellish something he was coming from, the man deserved a bit of room to run at everything at once.

"They weren't the only ones to survive. That isn't to say that there's a great heaping nation out there. There's more than those four." Objectively, it wasn't enough. "But I'm not one of them. I wouldn't call myself an 'Elite' either. I'm afraid telling you how I am the way I am might take more time than you're willing to spend in the middle of a street, Bardock. C'mon."

She kicks off the ground and floats there effortlessly, steady as a tree.

"I bet you're hungry and I know a good place around the corner that serves some good shit.. Unless you need medical attention? We've got a hospital here, though I can't say they'll understand your physiology."

"...Wait, WHAT?!"

This came as a shock to Bardock himself, even his visions never told him of others that survived.

The hardened Saiyan blinked, blood still on his body from being attacked. But he perked up when he heard food was going to be served. The Saiyan lifted off the ground as well. "Just show me the place. I'll be there. To be honest, I'm not sure this hospital is used to Saiyan tech though."

The Saiyan took a breath, all of this was a lot to take in but this woman wasn't Saiyan but she knew more about everything so far. He was interested plus the offer of food was too good to pass up.

Finding people who could fly wasn't easy - there were a few in town but none that flew via Ki, and there was something to flying with someone in that way again. Nostalgic, really.

"Likely not. This place hasn't seen any Saiyan's, as far as I know." She takes off, leading Bardock a few blocks over before she drops out of flight, stepping right into a practiced stride towards a restaurant with the creative title 'Eat or Don't'. It's neon sign flickers unsteadily as she walks in, holding the door just long enough for Bardock to get a hand on it. She slides into a seat at the bar and waits for Bardock to join her, waitress meandering out from the back with a pop of her bubble gum and bored look on her face.

"So, what do you like to eat? Or, I guess a better question is what don't you like to eat." Probably a shorter answer to the latter question than the former, but most anything was easier to take when you had a full stomach or were working on it.

The Saiyan landed on the ground near Devi and looked around, noting the name of the restaurant, and walked in, looking around. "Actually, I can say I like just about everything.

The Saiyan turned to the waitress and said, prepping to shock her with his giant stomach. "One of everything."

"Some for Diva too."

Devi grins and keeps it as the waitress blinks once, then twice, then glances at Devi like she could correct the situation.

The artist lifts her colored eyebrows. "A steak plate, two ramen bowls and four miso soups onto of that."

The waitress stammered in shock and Devi nodded happily. "Yup! We'll wait. Tea in the meantime, please."

The waitress could only walk away and into the back to talk to the chef. Devi laughs, head rolling back briefly. "That never gets old. They are not prepared for your appetite. Barely prepared for mine, clearly. I hope they've got more than one cook back there. Let her get us the tea before we dive into anything heavy. This the first time you've travelled like this before?"

The Saiyan smirked, the waitress looking shocked on the number of food objects.

Bardock looks up and nods "Tea sounds great, actually. Not very often I have tea though. Saiyans have more forms of bars than anything.

"Here? Or about anywhere?" Bardock observed. "Coming here? I'd say yes. But at home, no. I usually took Saiyan pods everywhere, the main form of transportation to every planet we went to.

"Oh! Shit, I have-" She frowns a little and then screws up one eye thoughtfully and restarts. "Had somethin' like that. Well. Not for travel though I heard it can be used for it. And sure as shit not for travel like this, the interdimensional kind."

The waitress comes back with two cups and a pour it yourself pitcher, setting both down. Devi murmurs a thanks and pulls the pitcher over, pouring Bardock's cup first before pouring her own.

"I use it for trainin'. Only place here that was capable of manipulating gravity. Gonna have to see if it's survived or not."
