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.

...?

I indicate Odin, father of the gods and leader of the Aesir. I understand this to be a different world. Perhaps he holds different sway in these lands...

[that would be a 'yes']

Ah, well...gods such as Odin, Thor, Frigg...are, um. No longer worshiped. Belief in their pantheon waned as the influence of Christianity grew.
seeker_of_law: (Thoughtful)

[Lawfer frowns. More so than he usually does, anyway.]

...It seems this world is even stranger than I had thought. What use do the Aesir have for our belief...? We are privileged to be allowed to worship and partake in the world they set apart for us.

In any case... the one I wish to speak to is Odin's servant. The Valkyrie. I suppose she is not 'believed in', either?
ridethelightning: (Huh?)

[personal profile] ridethelightning 2013-08-28 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Er...no. Nobody has paid homage to the pantheon in over a thousand years. Thus, they see no need for facilities to cater to them.
seeker_of_law: (Irritation)

[personal profile] seeker_of_law 2013-08-28 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
How vexing.

[Lawfer closes the door to the chapel and sighs in a long-suffering sort of way.]

If there is no Valkyrie in this place, am I to understand that my duties as Einherjar have been relieved?
ridethelightning: (Lost in thought)

[personal profile] ridethelightning 2013-08-29 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Um...well, you're here, so you're expected to work as part of this project. The Aegis Initiative, I mean. So in that respect, no, you are not relieved of duty. You've been, er...reassigned.

[Lawfer's perpetual frown deepens.]

You will excuse my saying so, but the assignment of duties here seems... trivial in comparison to the preparations for Ragnarok. I shall need to ponder upon this matter.
