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!

Arrival

It had been a dream. A strange one, sure. One where she'd made friends, dear friends. Built a life. But as so often as these things seem to go, the dream was mostly long forgotten after a few weeks; a ephemeral blip in a train of thought once in a while.

Here she is. Again. A little older and wiser, now. A life a home paused without her. And everything apparently paused here, too.

So now what? Time to roam. Maybe find a food. Or bourbon.

Network

[At least someone saw it fit to give a device to reach out. If she's lucky, maybe somebody remembers.]

Hey, kids. Here I thought my dream brain made all of this up.
And yet, here I am.

Places are familiar. Wondering if some of your faces are, too.

[ooc: Charlotte will be meandering out and around from the Tower District in an attempt to refamiliarize herself with the City proper. Say hi. Ota!]

[doesnotsparkle]

Likely not a familiar face at all.

Though, I must question, have you been here before?

[coffeevixen]

Not familiar, no, but hello to you.

It's been years I think but yeah.
I've been here before.
I had friends. I had a job and a home.
It almost feels like a dream.

[doesnotsparkle]

Greetings, as well.

Fascinating, so, like a forgotten memory reawakening? Have you found anything that does not match up so far? I do apologize for all the questions. I am merely curious.

[coffeevixen]

Kind of like that, yeah.
The smells and sounds are still sort of clicking into place, but it's honestly kind of trippy.

I feel like almost nothing has moved.
I had a house with someone.
Someone who isn't here, that I can tell.

[doesnotsparkle]

I am sorry to hear about your loss. Hopefully our stay here will allow them to return or something to ease any pain.

But this information does have me more curious about this world.

It was just a matter of time before he found his way to the Tower district, to the center of power in this new, strange city that he has no memory of.

He's made his way from the Coliseum district well enough and he's stumbling along. There's money in his pocket, though not much of it, and he needs someplace to sit, to settle, to make sense of things. Solitude will come later, for right now he needs the flow of humanity to get a better feel for where he is now.

Aware of his size and presence, he downplays his stern demeanor to something softer, more studious. He could be a particularly vertically blessed college professor, maybe, if not for the fact that he moves with the awareness of his surroundings, keeping sharp and watchful even as he softens his approach.

"Excuse me, do you know of any decent coffee shops nearby?"
