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.

Lockon Stratos/Lyle Dylandy | Mobile Suit Gundam 00 | 3

[It's your day off, and you're in the park. Coincidentally, Lockon is, too. He's perched on a bench right on the path, smoking a cigarette. He waves when he sees you.]

Yo! Wanna take a seat? Not often I run into friendly faces out here.

[treue]

I don't often get a chance to explore, but I'd be a fool not to take it when it presents itself.

[becomingthesniper]

So...that a yes or a no?

[Lockon takes the cigarette out of his mouth and holds it out over the side of the bench.]

[treue]

[Leona crinkles her nose at the cigarette but takes a seat nonetheless]

[becomingthesniper]

[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?

[treue]

I am. I haven't been here long but this city is quite interesting.

[becomingthesniper]

I'd say "interesting" is an understatement. This city's got some pretty amazing stuff. I come from a time three centuries ahead of this one and I see new things quite a bit.

[treue]

I am from about a century or two in the future myself. It's strange how some things don't really change that much.

[becomingthesniper]

No kidding. In my day and age, cars work exactly the same way as they do here -- they just run on solar power, not on fossil fuels. We don't have enough left for that.
