Test Drive Meme
 The Time Trapper, the being responsible for bringing people into the Legion's universe, is up to some strange tricks! It's now creating illusions of alternate universes and dumping the Legionnaires into them to try to test them as Legionnaires. Each time this happens, the captives -- er, participants have knowledge of the scenario, their role, and what they're supposed to accomplish planted into their heads, but still remember who they once were. To complicate things, the Legionnaires from the 31st century aren't the only ones pulled into this adventure. Strange people from many worlds are being yanked in and finding themselves thrust right into the heart of these conflicts. These universes technically are just illusions (probably!) and all the participants have an inherent knowledge of this, but it's up to them if they believe it -- and the danger is real. If you die in one of these scenarios you stay dead. This time they're being dumped into a scenario where they're... THE SETTING Cantos Vesa, a city on a desert world that's a seething hive of scum and villainy. An evil empire known The Authority has control of this world. Currently, the Authority's stormtroopers are chasing down individuals that they believe have secret plans to one of their ultimate death weapons, to bring them in for torture and interrogation before they can take the information to the resistance that has set itself against them. In this scenario, some individuals will find themselves being chased by the Authority's stormtroopers, despite their innocence, and despite not actually having any secret plans in their possession. Others will find themselves with innate knowledge that can be used to protect those who are on the run. Yet others may even find themselves turned into stormtroopers. Based on player preference, for the purposes of the meme, characters can either lose powers, retain their canon powers, or find themselves with new powers. It's up to you! Also, yes, you can have a lightsaber. Or a blaster. Go crazy! SCENARIO A You're on the run! Unfortunately, this little pocket universe has made you into one of the people being chased by the Authority. Even more unfortunately, you don't actually have any important information, have no idea where you are, and have no idea how to escape. With any luck, you'll come under the protection of someone willing to help you hide. Or perhaps you can hook up with another person the Authority is chasing for safety in numbers! SCENARIO B "Come with me if you want to live!" It may be a cliche but now's a good time to say it. You've found yourself with innate knowledge of this city and its hiding places, technical skills that can help you hide someone, and even connections among its imaginary residents. You still remember who you were before, but hanging around inside your brain is all the knowledge someone would have if they'd grown up here. And it sure looks like that poor person over there could maybe use a hand. They're being chased by stormtroopers and you may be their only hope! SCENARIO C Whoops, watch that aim! It looks like you're a rank and file stormtrooper in the Authority's army, tasked with spreading out and finding the person they're hunting. How did that happen? You have enough functional knowledge to not be pegged as someone who doesn't belong -- but you still have to be careful to not do anything to piss off your superiors. That's something that might be a difficult task if you happen to find who the Authority is searching for. If you want to prevent them from capturing someone innocent, you might have to get real creative to allow the target of their hunt to get away without getting caught helping them. SCENARIO D Wild card! Have an idea the meme hasn't suggested? Go for it! The sky's the limit. ✦ Current players in game can jump into this and do starters if they like so they can play with new players and each other. This meme will count as part of the game canon for those that opt in, though they'll find their memories somewhat fuzzy afterward. These threads can count toward your AC, however the "new CR" credit cannot be applied since not every character joining in is guaranteed to join the game. This takes place after "Where Angels Fear to Tread." ✦ Potential players can use this as a standard test drive and may use these threads as their samples. However, at least two posts in their threads must fit the requirements for apps, both in length (200 words) and in quality. These two posts can exist in any number of threads whether it's one thread or two. If you do plan on using a thread as a sample, please make sure the writing throughout your threads is a good example of your writing skills and has some solid examples of the character's voice. ✦ Potential players can also opt to keep these threads as game canon when they app in, so that their character remembers the scenario and then suddenly finds themselves in the game universe. However, this is opt in and players can choose to introduce their characters fresh if they'd prefer that and no other characters will remember they were there. Please just note which you'd like in the additional info field on your app. ✦ If you are considering apping to the game, currently 35 of 50 player slots are available. The character limit is 4 characters per player. You can also scope out some of the game's upcoming plots here. ✦ Non-players who like the meme but aren't really considering apping to the game are free to jump in. The more the merrier! The Time Trapper wants a confusing situation and will enjoy the chaos of lots of strange people trying to figure out what's going on. |

And then he hears him yell in annoyance -
- He's not one to obey a random order. But if this man is capable of defending himself, then he wants in, and he'll figure out later on just what it is that protects him and allows him to move so brazenly through this crowd.
"Stop yelling. Those who don't want to get out of the way will have their fates decided for them eventually." This man (as far as he know) doesn't know him. It would do Dio well to be as polite as he can. "If you're running to safety, I will join you."
His country boy fists aren't exactly useful here. Belatedly, Dio wonders if his look had been pathetic enough that a stranger will take pity on him. Trying to imagine how Jojo looks when he looks sad and people want to comfort him is disgusting, and he doesn't think he can stomach even the idea of emulating such a thing. But - this guy was the kind to warn off people, wasn't he? There's a chance he might not refuse.
OH BOY
So when Jotaro realizes that the person he's yelling at looks a lot like Dio, and sounds even more like him, albeit younger, it gives him pause. It's not just his voice, either, that kind of pompous arrogance takes him back to that night in Cairo pretty quickly. His first thought that this is some more Stand-related bullshit, but that makes no sense. He would know nothing of a younger Dio for a Stand to draw upon to make this illusion, if it is an illusion.
There's a short moment where Jotaro draws a breath, then sighs to himself with a brief closing of his eyes. Trying to sort things out and considering the possibilities of Stand tricks within Stand tricks makes him truly realize just how fucking weird his life is, and how much he needs some asprin.
Less worrying now, more curiosity later. If this is indeed Dio, he obviously does not recognize Jotaro, which hopefully means he doesn't want to kill him for being himself.
He starts moving again, glancing back at the blonde young man with similar annoyance as before. "Do what you want, but I'm not slowing down if you don't keep up!"
ゴゴゴゴゴゴ
His palms, however, have half-moon indents where his nails have impressed themselves tightly, manifesting his outrage at this stranger's words when he implied that he'd be left if he can't keep up. Those aren't the kind of words to be said to him. In fact, the last time someone said that kind of shit to him he practically beat them up, so as far as he's concerned, it's an assault to his pride.
For now, he just smiles and stops grinding his teeth as he follows him.
"That's not going to be a problem."
For now, he should juts focus on making sure he doesn't lose his temper and quietly observe this man. It's strange how he paused when he first saw him. That's something to be explored, as far as he's concerned.
He glances quickly at their surroundings. Frowns at the massive ... vehicles that they seem to be coming out of, and the smaller ones that the soldiers seem to be landing on the ground at a distance.
"Can you pilot one of those?"
no subject
"Good," is all Jotaro answers to the assurance that the younger man will keep up. His question causes Jotaro to look as well, and to briefly consider it. He might be able to figure it out, given enough time, but brute forcing and pokerfacing a video game and a sci-fi military vehicle are two decidedly different things. Not worth the risk, really.
"No, I'm no pilot," he answers curtly after a momentary pause, then diverts to some buildings. He doesn't even bother checking to see if the door is unlocked, he just stops a short distance from it, sending his Stand to burst the door open - both because it's quicker, and to see what kind of reaction, if any, it draws out of his companion. "Inside!"

The position is grating, but he tells himself: it's temporary. There is still time for this world to become a dream he can wake up from. There is still time - provided that he gets over the small inconvenience of death in this world, should that ever happen - to learn about everything else.
He keeps himself low and away from the windows. Hiding like a rat .... he grits his teeth. Glances at this stranger.
"We have some time." He is glowering. Some of that facade he's had on his face for a while falls, and there's something ineherently animalistic about his face. "I have questions."
