meatdimension | TEST DRIVE MEME

This game is revving to go, so we're going to start things off with a pre-opening TEST DRIVE MEME. This meme will be open up until the game opens properly, so please keep checking back with it and tag anyone who posts a little later. :)

TO START US OFF....

A. The mundane!

1) > You have discovered a portal to the meat dimension. Congratulations, you're at Chinese Diner Aiya! The rainy day challenge sure is difficult... But maybe this time you can make it.

2) > Every day's great at your Junes! You've run into each other at Junes! Maybe you're buying a Jack Frost Doll, or a magic set. Or maybe you're just getting groceries.

3) > Off to school you go. Class, quizzes, creepy teachers, clubs, and Social Linking ahoy!

4) > So you need some money to buy that Rise doll you saw at Junes, why not get a job? Frustrating co-workers, meeting people you may or may not recognize as customers. Get ready for the usual "I didn't know you worked here!" talk, because it's coming your way.

B. The extraordinary!

1) > You wake up on a mysterious train, and so has the person right next to you. You have no idea what train this is, where it's headed, or how you came to be there, and it seems like neither does your new friend. Why not chat about it?

2) > Your first venture inside the TV World. How does it go? How do you get there? And most importantly, who are you going with?

3) > There are three enemies! But holy shit this is your first fight, how are you going to handle this? Good thing you've got party members to help you out!

THERE ARE UNLIMITED SCENARIO POSSIBILITIES... If you have any other in mind that you want to play out, please go ahead and do so.

Please keep in mind that since this meme is set in the world of Caligo, you may use your threads here as the Caligo-specific samples needed in the app. And most importantly, have fun!!

[Ahhh, it's another school day. GLaDOS never bothered to check if she's actually a student, but she apparently looks enough like one that no one tries to stop her when she walks right in. She was honestly about to abandon this boring, obnoxious building, but then she'd discovered something wonderful: the science lab.]

[It's not a very good one, but it's better than anything else she's found thus far. So under the cabinets she goes, rummaging about for... well, anything, but preferably some combination of things she can mix into something dangerous-- for science, of course.]

[Wheatley's not sure what would be worse, having to go to school, or being relegated to a terrible low-rank human job. Luckily, he doesn't have to choose; school janitors get both.]

[Muttering to himself as he enters, he enters the lab, and sees someone rummaging around.]

Oh--ha, hello, uh, don't think anyone's supposed to be in here, right now. Classes, or... something... you looking for something?

[That voice is familiar to GLaDOS in the worst of ways. Not entirely used to this whole 'having a vaguely human-shaped body' thing, and isn't used to having a human-ish head. So, when she hears that voice, that horrible, painfully familiar voice, she jerks in surprise and immediately smacks her head against the top of the cabinet.]

[She's never gonna get used to this.]

[Hissing -- more in annoyance then anything -- extracts herself from the cabinet and sits back on her heels. She glances in Wheatley's direction and gives him a suspicious, unpleasant look for a moment.]

[Then she speaks.] There's no reason for me to attend classes.

[There's a little catharsis to see her be so inelegant--he's hardly used to this stupid model he got plugged into himself, and it's at least refreshing to know he's not the only one.]

[But then she talks, and all semblance of humor drains from his face.]

[No no no no no he's supposed to be done with her why--]

Wh-what are y--I thou--ah, ha, oh god, um, wow, what're the odds, ha, ha, uhh...

[She may not be used to the finer details of this new body, but GLaDOS has learned that it's remarkably well-calibrated -- once one gets used to it, of course. She's far from perfect in the damn thing, but she's got more than enough practice to be able to, say, swiftly walk across the room.]

The maintenance arm must have hit you harder than I had originally thought. [Hold still, Wheatley, she's going to try to grab the front of whatever you're wearing. And maybe yank at you to try to haul you off balance.] Even you could have finished a sentence, before. [Or are you nervous?]

[He blurts out a wordless noise as she yanks on him--oh wow he has never wanted to be this close to her, ever, in these weird bodies or otherwise, she's going to kill him and he really doesn't want to die.]

Ah, I, well, I just--well, I just, bit surprised, wasn't... expecting... you're looking, uh, great, by the way, I mean, wow, seem to be getting on well enough, fantastic, I'm sure you've been very busy, I should let you get back to that, and I'll just go, away.
