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!

[ He wants to make meeting up easier on the other. Not everyone can sorta fly like he can. ]
no subject
There's a place called the Blind Beggar across the street. There, maybe?
[his ego appreciates him offering to come to him]
no subject
[ Of course, he would be about five minutes late to arrive. After all, even if he can fly he was still new here and got lost a time or two.
After a few minutes, The pale dark haired man made his way inside. Still dressed in the clothes he wore to the party. His hair was even more messy from the wind. A quick message sent to let Damien know he was there. ]
no subject
You know, I don't think I ever gave you my name.
[he'll forgive him for not standing to greet him, he hopes. it's something of a production to get his legs under him, given the brace he has on his left one that runs from mid-thigh to ankle]
no subject
[ He noticed that name, and the call back to Icarus. Curious indeed.
Taking a seat across from Damien, Michael finally asked. ]
So, what would you have me call you?
no subject
Old internet handle.
[old hacker handle and has been since he got into the business when the internet was in its infancy. it occurs to him that he's probably going to change said handle, if and when he dips his toes back into cybercrime (little does he know that's not really possible here), but well. he hadn't thought of that, when he first started posting on the network. his last reality didn't have a network, so he kind of fell out of the habit. silly him]
But no. [and he reaches forward to take Michael's hand in the shake] Damien.
Sorry for the long delay
[ No need to question that further. Though he might have been more impressed had he known the hacker aspect.
Taking Damien's hand, he shook in return.] A pleasure, Damien. So, shall we hear these adventures?
no worries! i am also not fast!
Should I start with 'it was a dark and stormy night?'
[because it was]
[either way, after a beat, the smile fades into something a little more serious]
One minute, I was minding my own business in Chicago -- [that's a partial lie. he was in Chicago, but he certainly wasn't minding his own business. he was being held hostage by a fixer, waiting for his rival to show up and most likely kill them both] -- and the next, I was in the literal middle of nothing. Just sudden, bright emptiness, like a blank page.
