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!

Aha. Things are starting to become clear. Past conversations that he had when he was here before are starting to provide some context.

"You mean like this?" He lets go of the plate of food and speeds off, so that before the plate has traveled even an inch in the direction of the floor, he's standing in the same spot as before, balancing not only his original plate of food but also another one, also piled high, leaving only a breeze in his wake.

“Yes, exactly like that.” She laughs as her hair blows some in that breeze he leaves in his wake. “My thing's magnetism. I'm Lorna Dane, by the way, hey.”

"Magnetism, like Erik?" He doesn't remember anyone mentioning before what Lorna's abilities were, just that she existed. This would just be one more bit of proof that even though the worlds are all different, they're still connected in some way.

"Peter. Maximoff. Although there are some universes out there where it's Pietro."

The multiverse is weird.

“Exactly like. I know you as Pietro, yeah. Did Wanda or Erik come in with you, or just you?” Because if it were just him, she could see him trying to run through whatever magic barriers are keeping them here.

"They were here last time. I haven't seen them here yet this time." He figures if Wanda's here somewhere, they'll find each other. They might not be from the same universe, but they're still Wanda and Peter/Pietro. Erik will probably make his presence known soon enough, too. He tends to do that.

“If they are here, I'd bet it's a matter of time before they make themselves visible.” For better or worse, she silently adds.

“What's your world like, then? There's obviously a few differences.”

[personal profile] silversneakers 2023-06-11 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
"That tends to be how things happen with Erik." They don't have to look for him. If he's here, they'll know it soon enough.

"There's mutants." Obviously. "Sometimes there are problems, sometimes there aren't. It seems like just about the time that non-mutants forget that we exist, something happens to remind them."

"Give him a minute and he'll be busting in here with a booming, over dramatic 'who dares kidnap the master of magnetism' or some shit."

Which is to say, yes that is how things go with him.

"So the same shitty status quo with mutants. Are you married to Crystal too? I like her, she's fun."
silversneakers: (Default)

[personal profile] silversneakers 2023-06-11 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, pretty much." Details are starting to come back to him. Does all of this somehow connect back to the attack Erik had led on the tower? Will things be worse this time around because of it?

"I don't even know anyone by that name. I'm not married to anyone." It's a good sign though, he supposes. Maybe it means that one day he will be.

"Oh, well if you meet a badass elemental inhuman princess, that'd be her." She mentally notes the other difference in their worlds.

Looking around, she starts to think she wants to be the overdramatic bitch of the party. Everyone seems too uptight, including herself.

Now he's noticing some differences. He doesn't understand a couple of those words. "Okay, what's an inhuman?"

He'll just eat his way through his two plates of food while she explains.

“Short version? They're kinda like us in that they have powers and it's genetic based, but they have to go through a process called Terrigenesis to get the powers. Their home, Attilan, is kind of a .. teleporting city? Don't think too hard about it.”
silversneakers: (suited up)

[personal profile] silversneakers 2023-06-11 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
"Right." He really can't think too hard about it because he doesn't understand it, and since he's never heard of anyone like that in his world, he might not ever have to understand it. Or they're all in for some more surprises. "If I'll ever meet anyone like that, I'll keep that in mind."

“Everyone has their politics, too. It gets complex in other ways also.” She sighs softly. “But I guess, family is always nice to find, regardless of then whens or wheres.”
silversneakers: (intense)

[personal profile] silversneakers 2023-06-25 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah." He shrugs, being well acquainted with Erik's politics. "I always wanted to know, and at least I know now."

She nods slightly. "I get that mood. It can be a good and bad thing. It's like the complications never stop, right?"
silversneakers: (Default)

[personal profile] silversneakers 2023-07-04 02:54 pm (UTC)(link)
"Exactly." That is the best way to sum up his relationship with his father. "There are plenty of them."
geomagnetically: malagraphic @ dw ((comics) - 18)

[personal profile] geomagnetically 2023-07-04 03:13 pm (UTC)(link)
She considers for a moment. “Which ones did you get, in your version of earth?”
silversneakers: (Default)

[personal profile] silversneakers 2023-07-04 03:36 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well." He shifts his stance as he thinks. "The world didn't know mutants existed until Erik told them. Well not Erik entirely. Someone had made these big robots, and Erik took them over and used them to tell everyone they should be afraid of us." Which definitely hadn't helped things. "Then things were going okay for mutants, and one came along who basically wanted to wipe out the whole world except for mutants. So that made a big mess."

[personal profile] geomagnetically 2023-07-04 03:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh my god Erik WHY. That's her first thought. (Erik WHY is her thought a lot, to be fair.)

Secondly? Is:

“Sounds like sentinels and... okay, honestly that second one could be a lot of people. Which one was that one?” Does she even want to know? Yes but also no. Ah well, she's asked now.
silversneakers: (live in my mom's basement)

[personal profile] silversneakers 2023-07-05 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
(Erik WHY is a lot of people's thought, for that matter. It's a question Peter is still dealing with himself.)

"Sentinels, yeah. I don't understand everything that went on there because I wasn't there for most of it, but it was definitely a problem. And we were calling him, um, Apocalypse?"
geomagnetically: made for me; please don't take (commission ❱ ah)

[personal profile] geomagnetically 2023-07-29 04:41 pm (UTC)(link)
“Oh, that jackass. Yeah he got me, one time, and his little squad is not worth it. Sentinels, you're better off ignoring if you can, so you lucked out there it sounds like.”
silversneakers: (Default)

[personal profile] silversneakers 2023-07-30 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, at least when Erik used them to tell the world about mutants, I only had to watch it on TV." Which had been a day, he can say that. Especially considering his role in allowing Erik to even be there in the first place.

“His in-person Shakespearean monologues are worse. At least the TV you can turn off.” Ha. Ha ha.
silversneakers: (do I have to watch this)

[personal profile] silversneakers 2023-08-27 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
"True. At least I can get away in a hurry." Since attempting to do anything else would be futile. There's no talking Erik out of something.
