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.

Wally hates how on edge he is as he waits for a response, and for a second he's almost sure that Robin isn't going to answer him. How awful would that be, if he still decides to keep that secret when a bunch of strangers know who Rob really is? Wally isn't sure if he would be able to actually handle that.

He says the name and the older boy can't help his first reaction, a snorted laugh that's paired with his shoulders hunching as he leans forward in amusement. "Yeah, alright, you're Dick Grayson," he scoffs with a roll of his eyes, but when Robin doesn't laugh Wally's grin fades into something more stunned. Soon he looks as if he's been slapped, and his mouth flops open and shut almost comically with rapid blinks. "...Wait," he begins slowly, his hand moving to point directly at Robin. "You're Dick Grayson. ...You're Dick Grayson?? Hold on, but that means- HOLY CRAP!" His hands shoot up to grab his own hair, eyes wide in awe. "That means that BRUCE WAYNE IS BATM- shh!" he hushes Robin as if he was he one about to scream a secret that meant nothing in this world, and he continues in a frantic whisper, leaning in a little to close the space between them. "That means that Bruce Wayne is Batman- oh man, oh man, oh man that is - this is so sweet!" Wally is yelling again by the end of his sentence.

"So wait, you're - he's- you're- so you've been- and he's been-" he stops himself abruptly time and time again, answering the questions in his own head, and by the end of it Wally is laughing in amazement before he reaches in to hit Robin on the arm. "Dude! Dude! Oh man, you probably have the best video game set up back home and you've been totally holding out on me, seriously? Seriously. Seriously?" Wally shakes his head, finally letting his excitement fade a little for the sake of his health; he's feeling light headed as it is. His arms cross in front of his chest as he shakes his head, staring at Robin in disbelief.

"...I totally called it." He comments with a one shouldered shrug. "I totally knew, I mean, he had to have a lot of dough to be driving around cars like that, and that sort of gear isn't cheap, right? I totally called it." He frowns, suddenly looking a little put out. "...I don't have to call you Dick now, right? And I thought my name was bad."

Dick's a little bemused when Wally's first reaction is disbelief, but he waits for the other penny to drop and man, when it does, the reaction is kind of glorious and he has to fight really hard not to burst out laughing at several points. When Wally eventually winds down he's managed to get himself under control, but he still can't keep the fond smile from his face.

"Okay," he held his hand up, checking his fingers off as he made his way through the points "Yes, I am really Dick Grayson. Yes, my dad is Batman, or Bruce Wayne, well, both. My video game set up is... pretty good, okay, I admit it, I mean it's not as good as my gym set up, but still... I'm sorry man, I promise, when we get back you get to come over. And finally I don't care what you call me, I'm just glad you're here." he finishes sincerely, kind of impressed with himself how evenly he manages to keep his tone when it almost feels like it's going to crack and he's going to horribly embarrass himself by blubbering all over Wally.

"You could call me Richard but nobody calls me Richard, not even Alfie." he offers with a half smile.

[totallywhelmed]

"Yeah, pretty good, okay," Wally rolls his eyes when he repeats what Robin says aloud, hands still on his waist as he eyes his best friend again to give him a once over. Finding out that your best friend is Dick Grayson is like finding out that your best friend is secretly Robin or something, just, you know, backwards. It doesn't matter, though, not really... Rob is Rob in the end, nothing can change that. It's why Wally never let the fact that he didn't know Robin's true identity bother him in the first place, because his name doesn't matter. The fact that he's always there for Wally when Wally needs him, that's what's always mattered. Robin, Dick, Richard, it's not important. The fact that he's here. That's what's important.

"I'll call you Richy. Oh! Or DG. No, that sucks... whatever." He waves his hand passively. "I'll think of something. Who's Alfie? Why do you know all of these people that I don't know about, you know how weird this is, right? This is weird." Wally trails off with a sigh, but there's a lingering smile of content on his face. This isn't so bad. He thought that finding out who Robin really was would be earth shattering, but they were still standing and nothing changed. He was still grateful that Rob was the one to find him and not someone else.

His smile finally fades at the thought, and his hand moved to his stomach before he looks up at Robin - Dick - once more. "You didn't happen to bring a pizza with you or something, did 'ya? I can't run anymore - not like I can back home, at least. But I still haven't eaten anything and I'm starting to feel it. I'll be honest with you," Wally's voice lowered a little, as if ashamed. "If it wasn't you I don't know if I would have been able to get out of here fast enough. I feel like I'm going to pass out soon if I don't get something in me."

Since the other robins happen somewhere between s1 and s2 I'm just...making things up lol

"Oh, Alfie is Alfred, he's the butler..uh... you know whenever I say that out loud it sounds really weird, but he's just part of the family you know? Alfie's the best mom." he laughs slightly, though there's a slightly bitterness to it because honestly, as nice as it is to see Wally, he'd much rather be seeing him at home again, and everybody else too. He missed Alfred, and Bruce, and Jason. "I don't know that many people you don't know, I mean Alfie's the only person in the family you don't know, you know Jay!" only of course Wally didn't know that, so he quickly follows it up with "Jason, my brother, the newer Robin."

"I don't have any food on me," he says, expression turning worried "but it's not too far to where I've been staying, there's food there..." for a second he's planning on taking Wally back to the more secret HQ, but he realises it's a bad idea, and kind of rude when it's technically Steve's base, he's just crashing there. Still, the regular specials HQ has food, and he trusts Wally more than enough to take him there.

_{((In case you don't know, Jason Todd is the Robin that died, you can see the memorial for him in a couple of the episodes, and then Tim Drake is the third Robin, the one who shows up in s2))}

works for meee

Wally's eyebrows practically rise into his hairline. "Oh, right, your butler, how could I not have guessed?" He can't help but sound amused because he is... Rob never acts like one of the snobby rich kids, to find out that he lives with so much wealth is genuinely shocking. Yeah, he has all the latest tech when it comes to his gear but so does Wally, Batman always pays for that kind of stuff. It makes sense that his son would get extra perks, though, now that Wally knows who they actually are.

"So new Rob is your brother," he clarifies aloud, one hand moving to mess up his own hair. "You guys are like some sort of super family, huh? That's cool though, that's like me and Uncle Barry! Just, you know, with more people." Batman, adopting kids and doing copious amounts of charity work. Who would have thought? ...Anyone, now that Wally is thinking about it. It makes so much sense that he's almost angry at himself for not seeing it earlier.

He visibly deflates when Robin says he isn't carrying any food, but his head perks back up a little at the mention of it being somewhere else. "...Well can we go?" He tosses his hands out a little, trying to curb his impatience and failing. "I'm dyin' here, if I don't get something in me soon I'm going to pass out. Is there a way to get there without anyone trying to shoot my head off? Because that would be sweet."

Dick's cheeks colour slightly at Wally's comment, because yea okay when you put it like that it makes him sound like a rich brat, but he can't say it any other way, Alfred was the butler, that was his job, it was probably even weirder to say 'he's this old guy who hangs around our house and basically helped raise all of us and actually kind of Bruce too'.

"Yea, something like that, it's not that weird when you think about it, I mean, half the team has somebody who's related to them who's in the hero game, that's how most of us got into it," Artemis and M'gann and Zatanna all sprung to mind.

"Oh, yea, come on, it's not too far and I know all the back routes, we'll avoid anyone who might want to shoot at your head or anywhere else for that matter." he motioned for Wally to follow him and set off back the way he'd came, glancing back after a moment "Are you going to be okay walking there or do you want a hand?" or a shoulder to lean on
