The "Life Finds A Way" 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 placed in their heads, 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 everyone is being dumped into a scenario where they're dealing with... THE SETTING At its opening, the Cretaceous Days amusement park was considered one of the most technologically advanced amusement parks ever created. The technology of the United Planets was advanced enough to allow for the cloning of a variety of prehistoric species from many worlds, from Earth's ancient, feathered dinosaurs to the scaly pretorians of Colu's past. Now the park has broken down and the animals have gone out of control! With electric fences failing, forcefield walls going down, and all protective technology being mysteriously disabled, everyone in the park is in danger. Dinosaurs from Earth's ancient history are running wild here, but prehistoric animals from other worlds are just as vicious and ferocious. While this is possibly one of the Time Trapper's strange pocket dimensions, this dimension is very similar to the game universe, and whether or not the sentient beings in need of saving are real or not is impossible to tell. It's a bad idea to risk not helping them in case real lives are on the line. 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. SCENARIO A: RAPTORS Forget velociraptors, herds of larger Deinonychus are now freely roaming the park. Dangerously intelligent, they're hunting in packs, and smart enough to use various tactics to herd and surround their prey. Places like the vast indoor food court and gift shops can sometimes be used against them, since they provide hiding places, vents, and areas that can be closed with doors. The deinonychus aren't the only things that can work in numbers. Perhaps if you team up against them you'll have a chance of survival. SCENARIO B: GIGANOTOSAURUS The T-rex's bigger cousin, a Giganotosaurus is now rampaging around the park, and it has one hell of an appetite. Perhaps you can escape by climbing up a tree taller than it and jumping from tree to tree to safety. Or maybe you might figure out a clever way to trap it once more. Whatever the case, if you don't successfully stay out of its reach, you'll wind up its dinner. It's a good thing you don't have to face the hulking monster alone. SCENARIO C: ALIEN CREATURES Dinosaurs aren't the only prehistoric animals rampaging around the park. The tentacled let'ek of Omiclon 6 might try to choke the life out of you. Or you might find yourselves mesmerized by the hypnosis powers of the blue-billed Stenothians from Winath's ancient times. (Players may make up any ancient alien creature they like for a scenario and make up ways for it to be defeated.) SCENARIO D: PROTECTING CIVILIANS Personal survival is important but most of the civilians trapped in the park don't have a chance of escaping the many creatures that are now loose -- unless you work together to give them one. There are shelters and safe places they can be taken to, and even places where you can find small escape ships to evacuate. SCENARIO E: WILD CARD! There are all different threats and objectives possible within the park. Perhaps you have the technological skills to turn on the safety protocols in each of the sections of the park, one by one -- but only if you can get to the manual consoles. Perhaps you can tame some of the more docile creatures and use them as mounts or convince them to attack the predators threatening you or civilians. Maybe you can find a way to safety through some of the automated systems that handle feeding (or waste processing) but can't get through the dangerous obstacles in them without the help of a new ally. ✦ 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 before "In Brightest Day." ✦ Potential players can use this as a standard test drive and may use these threads as their log samples. However, at least one post in their thread must fit the requirements for apps, both in length (200 words) and in quality. 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 25 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 to get an idea of what kind of plots are in the game and what's to come. ✦ 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. |

Faiza hurried up behind the other doctor, looking...well. A little strange. The white coat and white hijab probably wouldn't be that strange to Julian, but the sword on one hip? Probably a bit incongruous. Still, she's quick enough to get to the door "You probably shouldn't go out there on your own. Two people can keep an eye out better than one."
no subject
"...true. But we could also use someone here." Is it the best division of labor to take two doctors out into the field, where one could do good here?
He glances down at the sword at her side, looking obviously confused. While he would have appreciated having a weapon himself, he'd been hoping for a phaser personally...
Sorry, this week sucked!
She'll explain why that is. Really. She's just a little used to being around people who know what her powers are.
I totally get that. <3 It's fine.
(It hadn't exactly paid off, with a few patients. There hadn't been much he could do for Tain, for example. But...there were a few he'd managed to help.)
Granted, Julian is a little useless here without such things himself. But he can help out there, his augmented body able to lift heavier loads than one would expect for someone so slight.
He's going to give her the benefit of the doubt, most definitely.

"Dinosaurs," she murmurs to herself, though loud enough to be heard by Julian. "What is my life, even?"
Shaking her head, she looks back to the other doctor. "Ready when you are, sir."
no subject
"Julian, please." He grins slightly--his eyes are still solemn and serious, though there's a hint of amusement there as well.
He slips out the door and to the side, so she can follow him out--he's perhaps surprisingly quiet, and very alert.
He's done this sneaking around thing before. Jem'Hadar were difficult, if not impossible, to spot in the field and their hearing was incredible. Julian hadn't had too much time with boots on the ground during the war, not on the front lines anyway, but he had been enough, enough that he knew what to do.
no subject
She follows him out, not...quite as quiet though fairly alert. Honestly, she's used to working with a bunch of people who aren't really good at stealth. Dane wore plate armor, after all. And Brian was...well. Brian.
Then again, they didn't often have to sneak, either.
Still, she tries to stay as quiet as possible, staying as close to Julian as she could.
and now it's my turn to be super late!
At least velociraptors didn't have personal cloaking devices.
"We probably shouldn't go too far out, unless we want to dodge giant bloodthirsty reptiles on the way back. Let's check a hundred meter radius and then decide what we want to do from there?"
