TEST DRIVE MEME



Pick a scenario!

Scenario A: The Legion has been invited to a fancy reception with the United Planets Council because various public officials and dignitaries want to meet with the new Legionnaires. Even the older Legionnaires don't want to go, but they've been told that if they bring the rookies they'll get some funding and resources to work on their project of getting the newbies home.

So everyone's put on their best color-changing dresses and self-tying ties and are getting to work rubbing elbows and trying to pretend they actually want to be there.

Naturally, while some of the dignitaries are polite and genuinely interested in the plight of the interdimensional refugees, many of the dignitaries are downright rude in various ways, either by making the rookies feel as if they'll never measure up to the old Legion (as if being brought into this world is some fault of theirs) or by being condescending when hearing about their comparatively "primitive" worlds. ("Oh, you still use fossil fuels there? How quaint!") Some like the green-skinned Coluans are outright hostile, telling the rookies that by helping the Legion, they're betraying organic life because of the Legion's support of Robotica.

A fun time is being had by all, naturally.

Okay, that's a lie, but at least the rookies have each other to talk to, right? And there's no dearth of weird future fashion to quietly make fun off.


Scenario B: The reception is under attack! A Xanthan terrorist group has busted in and plans on taking some of the dignitaries hostage in exchange for some of their number being released from prison.

"Nobody move and no one has to get hurt!" the leader cries out, his gun pointed at Madame President.

Unfortunately for them, the Legion got a last-minute invite to this little shindig. Time to team up with one of your teammates to kick some butt and practice those quips!


REMINDER:

There are only 30 player slots in the game. We do want to remind players of that at each step towards game opening, just so they're aware during the reserve/app process that these slots might fill fast. We've also moved the opening of reserves a day to make it more convenient for the mods. Here are the current dates for upcoming events:

RESERVES WILL OPEN ON: 12/20/15 @ 5PM EST/2PM PST/10PM GMT
APPS WILL OPEN ON: 12/26/15 @ 5PM EST/2PM PST/10PM GMT
GAME STARTS ON: 1/01/16

Like any world. So many factors.

"Too soon to tell here," she answered him. She wished he was here longer than a week. then maybe she might be able to get answers from him. There was always the option of trying to get answers about this world from a dignitary, but the idea of going back into conversation seemed more intimidating than going after a griffin right now.

"Might be nice if it does work out. Looks like these guys could use all the help they can get."

She didn't think she'd stay to help, though. She barely wants to help now. But while she was here... It would pass the time. And she wasn't exactly against helping. In fact, she was too nosy not to help. So she meant it when she said it'd be nice to see it work out, even if she wasn't too terribly invested in this world.

"Are you going to contribute?"

It seemed a natural question to ask, and he thought he was picking up on that sense of conflict. Or maybe it was just the kinship in a way - he wasn't all that certain what was the right thing to do himself, especially in having been pulled into the whole thing so abruptly. Maybe she felt similarly.

Either way, he was curious to know. They were all bound together by circumstance and he'd been taught not to believe in luck. Knowing where they all stood was a good step.
