Alpha Complex Test Drive Meme

Please feel free to take a Test Drive to see if the environment would suit your character! All potential players are welcome.

It may be your first day in Alpha Complex or your hundredth, either way, you are in serious trouble.

Scenario One
Your character has been accused of treason!

Whether the accusation is true or not, you are a wanted citizen! Do you turn yourself over to IntSec (Internal Security) for questioning? Do you make a run for it and go AWOL? Will you fight for your right to exist or hole up somewhere safe until the chaos passes? Do you become The Fugitive and try to prove your innocence? Or are you guilty as hell and seeking help from friends or other parties who would be willing to assist you for a price?

Beware of the security cameras everywhere - some of which actually work - and being spotted by citizens who might be willing to turn you in to gain points with The Computer or to prove their own loyalty.

Scenario Two
Your character has been given the mission to hunt down a traitor!

It is your job to hunt down and apprehend the traitor by any means necessary. If you fail or refuse, you might be accused of being a traitor yourself. It doesn't matter if the person you are hunting is innocent or had good reasons for their treason. It doesn't matter if their crime was major or some minor form of treason, Friend Computer wants their head. You have twenty four hours to complete your mission.

Please post your character name and fandom in the subject line.
Work Together. Turn On Each Other. Survive.

There's more and more people on the lookout for traitors and Dick is finding it increasingly difficult to keep himself hidden. Even regular Alpha citizens are dangerous in large numbers, and there had been more than one occasion where he'd saved somebody from danger only to have them try and turn him in for treason. Luckily he knew a lot of ways to escape, and going off-grid had definitely helped keep him hidden from most people - hard to report someone for being a traitor when you didn't know who they were.

Lately, though, it was getting even more worrying. They'd started sending specials to hunt traitors, people who might be given access to the specials HQ by an unsuspecting friend and thus be in a better position to get Dick in a lot of trouble. All in all, it had been pretty exhausting.

So when he's on a trip to get some supplies and he overhears a mutter from behind him that mentions the word 'traitors', he freezes, spinning on his heel. His surprise is only compounded by the fact that he knows the person walking along behind him, and that's a very new feeling.

"Zee!?" he exclaims without thinking, before he remembers that he's still using his invisibility tech right now and it's just going to be a disembodied voice to her.

The sound of a familiar voice right in front of her when she can't see anything throws Zatanna for a bit of a loop. Even though she's sure the sound is coming from in front of her, the cognitive dissonance has her whirling in place to look behind her.

"Robin?" she asks, looking around as she turns back to face the sound because, dang it, she knows that's where it came from. "Where are you…?"

"I'm right-Oh, sorry," Dick suddenly realises he's still invisible and sheepishly thumbs the switch to turn off the tech, revealing himself in front of her. It's only after he's done it that he realises what a terrible idea it was, she had literally just been talking about looking for traitors, and despite Lydia's assurances that he'd know his friends were really themselves when he saw them, he'd barely even spoken to Zee to find out. Still, he was so desperate to see a friendly face that he couldn't quite bring himself to care, and after all - she almost certainly didn't have her magic, but unlike all his super powered friends, Dick hadn't lost any of his skills when he came here, if anything was wrong, he should be able to get away.

"...hey." he offers softly, smiling slightly at her.

Zatanna blinks when she sees the person in front of her. He's not wearing a mask — although, why would he, if he's been invisible? — and it takes her a moment, eyes squinted as she studies his face, to recognize the familiar jaw line and general facial structure. It's Robin, all right, but she'd never seen his eyes before just now. They're so blue.

Oh wow...he has such nice eyes...

Focus, she reminds herself and the surprise registers on her face when she realizes that she's let herself start to slip down the rabbit hole of her crush on Robin. "Oh! Oh wow...your mask is gone," she breathes and then, with flushed cheeks and a sheepishly shy smile, she adds, "...hey."

It's a moment before he realises why she's looking at him with such amazement, recognition not quite hitting her eyes for the first few moments of her studying him, and for a second his response is confusion. Then the realisation hits just a moment before she actually spells it out for him and he smiles awkwardly, rubbing a hand through his hair.

"Uh, yea, I don't really wear it that much here, and when I do it's kinda not the same... " he shrugs "Um.. how have you been? How long have you been here? What's going on? Sorry that's a lot of questions, it's been so long since I've seen anyone from home.."

Shaking her head, Zatanna smiles. "It's okay...I just didn't recognize you at first, that's all," she admits. She kind of likes it better without the mask, come to think of it. She could probably get lost in his eyes if she let herself.

...which she won't. She absolutely won't.

"It's cool. Uh, I've only been here for a couple of days. But other than that..." she shrugs a little. "Same old, same old before here. How long have you been here?"

"I guess I forget how effective the mask is at changing how I look, since nobody who knows me as Dick knows I'm Robin," he admits with a slight smile, it's only after he's said it that he realises what he just let slip, and honestly if he were anywhere but here he'd feel guilty, Batman would have his head for that, but here? It just didn't carry the same weight.

"Oh, uh, speaking of, I guess I should sort of introduce myself again, nobody here really knows me as Robin. Dick Grayson, nice to meet you again," he gives her a smile and a little bow. "I've been here for..uh... three months and change I think?"

"It's definitely effective," Zatanna agrees. She's never realized just how integral a person's eyes are to identifying them, but she can't help noticing it now with it presented to her this way. She thought she would've known Robin anywhere, but she's finding right now that maybe she was wrong.

The revelation of his name has her blinking because she'd always just...assumed his name was actually Robin, because even Wally calls him Rob. "Oh," she says, sounding a little surprised, a soft blush creeping into her cheeks. "Nice to meet you again, too," she adds. Then, she pauses. "...I might just keep calling you Robin...I'm used to that," she finishes, looking appropriately sheepish. "Unless you really don't want me to and then I won't."

Three months?! "That's such a long time to be stuck here!" she blurts out.
