Opening Testrun Meme

Before the game actually opens, lets all take a moment to-Hold up, need some kind of goofy picture.



Before the game actually opens, lets all take a moment to try out some characters that we think would work well here. Test the waters, declare who you're interested in, have fun, invite your friends. Tell them we brought punch and pie.

The Prompts!
1. Arrival - One minute, you were doing your own thing back home, the next, you were sucked through a glowing portal. Suddenly, you find yourself in a random stretch of road, surrounded by screaming and the sounds of gunfire and explosions. All around you are other confused and disoriented people. Beyond them, a haze of smoke, through which hulking...things slouch about, writhing with tentacles.

You've just taken part in a mass emergence event. They tend to be accompanied by the appearance of horrible things from between worlds. They're hungry, but Aegis has sent some of their best agents to help you out. Flee to safety, then try to figure out just what the HELL is going on.

2. Emergence - This was a lucky one. You actually got a full two hours of warning before the emergence event took place. Anyone who was around and could fight or help was gathered up, thrown through a hasty briefing, then shoved into transport helicopters to try get to a stretch of cornfields somewhere in Kansas before it exploded into a mess of confused and lost people and Astral Beasts.

Right now, everyone's still on the helicopter. Got any last minute thoughts to get off your chest before everything goes crazy?

3. Vigilance - Welcome to your new home. Vigilance is a medium sized city on the east coast of the United States. It's host to a number of things to see and do, but most notably, it is the secret headquarters of the Aegis Initiative. After the absolute chaos of your arrival, you have some down time to get your head together. Take a look around town, have some fun. They've got mini golf.

4. Quarantine - Sometimes, things go wrong. Sometimes, the general public blames it on sliders like you. Sometimes, for your own safety, you have to stay inside. There's always things to do in the base, but most of it is things like "Clean the bathroom" or "Finish these reports" and that can only keep you busy for so long before you start strangling people.

So what does a slider do when suffering from cabin fever in a military compound?

5. Celebration - Nothing like near death experiences to make you appreciate life all the more. You thoroughly trashed some aliens yesterday, and now it's time to celebrate the fact that no one was disintegrated. The mess hall has been hastily converted into a dance hall by way of shoving the tables out of the way and putting on some loud music. The kitchen staff was recruited to feed everyone, and someone MAY have spiked the punch. Someone may have also spiked the pie.

6. Wild Card - Or of course, you can come up with something else altogether. The world of Aegis is a big one. The same size as our own world, in fact. There's bound to be things you can think of that we didn't cover here.

Punching bags don't need to be up the next day in case aliens do come knockin'.

[personal profile] getter_guts 2013-08-22 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
Tch. Are you really worried about doing without this garbage?

[personal profile] protrader_omega 2013-08-22 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
[As Lina flees, something surprisingly large that almost certainly wasn't there a second ago whizzes past her ear. It's a huge, blood-red sea serpent. Well, one that seems to function well enough on land, anyway. Silver stands stock still, intently watching his Gyarados chomp down hard on an alien of similar size. None of its special attacks are working for some reason, but at least it's got being big and mean going for it.

His attention isn't really fully on Lina, but he addresses her.]


You don't look like you belong here, either, but just in case: do you know where we are?
dragonspooker: (Get a move on!)

[personal profile] dragonspooker 2013-08-22 09:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, Lina's reaction was less than graceful - a scream and a flail because OH GOD GIANT SERPENT DRAGON THING OUT OF NOWHERE WHAT ELSE IS GOING TO GO WRONG?!

The question of the other redhead gives her pause for just a moment as she looks around - she hadn't given that part much thought just yet. Her tone is obviously snippy and irritable, though that's understandable with the situation.]


Somewhere that isn't home and I don't like it! Monsters everywhere and I can't cast anything to save my life!

[There's a small puff of bits of fluff and foam as Vi finishes off the cushions, then she smirks at Raynor for a moment before flexing the fingers of the oversized metal gloves.]

I dunno, they do what I need 'em to do pretty well. Granted, you're not the first to say so. That a native mentality, or do I just come from one of the more interesting worlds?

[personal profile] ex_punchfirst608 2013-08-22 10:38 am (UTC)(link)
I guess so - I do hope that you'll forgive me for being a bit more inclined to go wreck the uglies and not sweat the details too much.

[Vi smirks as she says this, as well as balling up one fist and punching her open palm.] I'm pretty fond of the direct approach.

[The inquiry gets a one-shoulder shrug as Vi folds her arms.] Just 'Vi' works, and yeah. Used to be a pretty bad egg until the group I ran with pulled some stuff I didn't like. Tried turning over a new leaf there, screwin' over other criminals a lot. Got offered a job on the force to sort of pay back society or something - I jumped on it, 'cause hey, beating up crooks and not having to run from the cops myself? Pretty sweet deal.

As for politics, eh... Involvement there is mostly just if I get picked to fight for a side. People having the disputes set up the league fights, folks like me just do the actual fighting for 'em.

[personal profile] ex_punchfirst608 2013-08-22 10:40 am (UTC)(link)
Heh! You'd fit in pretty good back home, then. All sorts of strong fighters there, and a lot of arenas to throw down in and not get arrested for it.

Where I come from when aliens come knocking you want every man you've got behind you.

[personal profile] revolutionary_raider 2013-08-22 02:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Can't speak for anyone else darlin' but it's usually safer to have a bit of distance between yourself and the twenty foot tall bug with pincers as big as you are.
theyknow: (Grave)

[personal profile] theyknow 2013-08-22 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I would look properly disapproving, but, if you'll pardon the language, I believe 'wrecking uglies' is precisely what we need at the moment. We must understand what it is they want from us. But if it isn't anything more civilized than some sort of intergalactic war, then war they shall have.

[For a moment, she stops short and draws herself up with a sharp intake of breath. ...This is released quickly in the moments after, and she turns back to Vi with a bland smile.]

...Heavens, there I go again. I do enough talking about that sort of thing during my job; I'm certainly not here to bore you with it.

Now are you saying that all political affairs are handled in your world with these... 'league fights'? A sort of Roman arena for the wealthy? A champion is chosen, the fight commences, the winner seizes victory for the one they represent - and so on?

[Harriet ponders on this scenario for a moment or two.]

It is preferable to war, isn't it? Though perhaps we ought to conduct football tournaments; I can't see anyone willing to invest in gladiatorial combat.
wanderingbard: (Bored)

[snooooooooooreeeeee

Lewyn's Slider powers appear to include the ability to sleep through anything including angry drill sergeants as he flips over in bed and settles his pillow more comfortably over his head.]

[Lockon notices the expression. Without thinking twice, he tosses the cigarette butt on the ground and crushes it beneath the ball of his foot.]

So. You said you're out exploring?
ridethelightning: (Lost in thought)

[If this slider's name is Ky Kiske? He prays. Ky has been spending more time than usual down at the base chapel lately. At the moment, he's walking out of it, a rosary wrapped around his right hand.

Where's he going now?]

[personal profile] treue 2013-08-23 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
I am. I haven't been here long but this city is quite interesting.
mookwarrior: Seriously a MP gespenst? (Default)

[personal profile] mookwarrior 2013-08-23 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
.... Yes sir, understood sir!

[ He'll lose more spectacularly next time! ]

mookwarrior: Non-Chibi Gespenst (Realistic)

[personal profile] mookwarrior 2013-08-23 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
Still doesn't mean its right. Try to set a good example, eh?

[personal profile] getter_guts 2013-08-24 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
The further behind me, the better. Guys who are no use as anything but meatshields are better off running away.

[personal profile] getter_guts 2013-08-24 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
...You think I can go with you if we leave here?

[personal profile] getter_guts 2013-08-24 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
Tch. If I'm supposed to be a role model around here, we're really screwed.

[personal profile] protrader_omega 2013-08-24 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
[The alien falls over and the immediate danger seems to have passed, so Silver calls his Gyarados back. Or he would, anyway, if the Pokeball were working. This is gonna be a problem. Anyway...]

What exactly do you mean by "cast?"
revolutionary_raider: (2)

[personal profile] revolutionary_raider 2013-08-24 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
Hey now, just because not everyone is a master of bare-handed combat doesn't mean they don't have other strengths.
wanderingbard: (Unsure)

[personal profile] wanderingbard 2013-08-24 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
Wha -- ?

[Thump. Lewyn lands heavily on the ground. His scarf lands in a heap around his head and he is tempted, for a moment to bundle it up and continue sleeping. He supposes, though, he'll have to face whatever's interrupting his beauty sleep sooner or later.]

Oh.

It's you.

...Who are you, again?
seeker_of_law: (Frown)

[personal profile] seeker_of_law 2013-08-24 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
...Good afternoon.

[The slender blonde man gives Ky a curt nod as he passes, seemingly without the intent to say anything more. Right on the precipice of awkwardness, though, he speaks again.]

Ah - Pardon. What is that room you've just come out of?

[personal profile] getter_guts 2013-08-24 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, yeah. They'll be fine in a few days.

Or months for a couple of them.
