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!

[That snaps his attention. She doesn't look like she's hurt, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. He's sure there are people who must think this is hell or purgatory or whatever kind of afterlife they might buy into, but if it is, it's the shittiest version of any of that he could conjure up. Much more likely they're all real physical selves in a "real" physical place. (Real as in...it's physical. Still probably magically made, though.)]

You don't look dead, but I don't know what that counts for these days, if anything. [No one tell him about Strange possessing his own corpse, thanks.] Pretty good chance that you aren't dead yet, though. If I ask what happened, how short a version can you give?

[ Daisy hasn't ruled out the possibility of this being some sort of afterlife, but it's just as likely in her mind that this might be a version of the Framework. Some of these people (and not-people) might just be bits of code wandering around thinking they're real, while those like Clint and herself were uploaded into the system. Maybe her body was too damaged, and they scanned her brain? She'd never wanted that, the same way Coulson never wanted to be brought back, but she knows what grief can do to rational thought. ]

Short version? I blew up a spaceship while I was still inside it. [ There's a beat, and then she adds an afterthought for clarification. ] I meant to do it.

[ Because that's the important part. She might not be bleeding or have anything visibly broken, but her suit covers pretty much everything except her fingers and head, so no one can see the mottled bruising covering her arms and chest. And that's not even getting into the probably dozens of hairline fractures she can feel in her bones. It hurts like hell, but she's had a lot worse. ]

[brandingproblem]

Beats doing on accident, I guess. Does sound pretty deadly though. Could be whoever brought you here ended up saving your ass.

[Not that he wants to give any credit at all to whoever's running the show. Because fuck that. But it might be a possibility that can't currently be ignored.]

Man, everyone's been to space nowadays. Used to be that was special.

[chuju]

[ Huh, she hadn't considered that angle. Her first thought is there's nothing out there that could swoop in and save her from the depths of space in the seconds before she'd freeze to death, but... Well, given her life thus far, she really shouldn't make judgments like that. Just about anything is possible if you have the right connections.

She's quiet for a moment, then speaks almost apologetically when she'd normally be in full bragging mode. ] I lived out there for a year, so... Sorry?

[brandingproblem]

It's not always as cool as it seems like, but you're gonna have to share that story sometime.

And then we're gonna have to figure out how to get you back to living. [Him, too. But he's not exactly going to suggest him getting back home is any more important. There's a happier future Daisy has to make it to see, even if it also will take years of bullshit.]</small.
