ROUND 2 TDM
TEST DRIVE MEME
This is the test drive meme for The Resort. Feel free to use this to voicetest, gather samples for your potential app, or just have fun in the setting! Reserves open on November 9th. Hit up our Round FAQ with any other questions.
Feel free to come up with your own scenarios as well! This is just a sampling of scenarios that may come up during gameplay.
1. MORNING WAKEUP CALL
You wake up with a start in a hotel room - one with a single bed and it's own bathroom - due to the buzzing of an alarm on a Tablet by the bedside. You're in the clothes you last remember being in, but you sure as hell don't remember checking into a hotel or resort for the night...
There's a message from 'Resort Staff' after you manage to turn off the horrible noise, letting you know there's breakfast for all of the guests down at the Restaurant.
It's 7am, but if you don't ignore it and go back to sleep, there's a continental breakfast buffet spread out at the Restaurant, just like they said there would be. It's all free of charge, too...which is good, because you certainly didn't pay to come here. Maybe getting some breakfast first before demanding to see the management is a good idea - and you can also find out who else got brought here against their will, too.
2. RESORT EXPLORING
So, after your meal (or just more sleep), you're bright eyed, bushy tailed, ready to take on the day and find out what the hell is going on. However, the Staff is all cheerful but evasive, saying that you signed in last night, and even helpfully showing you your signature in their guestbook. And while you know that's a crock of bullshit, they're very insistent that you're here for a week stay...
If you decide to check the Resort out, you'll quickly find that the upper floors are currently undergoing maintenance. But, there's a Ski shop nearby - which isn't surprising, considering that the outdoor courtyard is snowed in. There's also an indoor pool and an outdoor Jacuzzi in case you want to soak in style! And there's a bathing suit in your room, along with a change of clothing...
There's also plenty of empty or unused rooms, oddly enough. Though the strangest thing about this entire hotel is all of the rats. They're all clean, tame, and friendly - but it's downright odd to see a bunch of multi-colored rats skittering about either in special sectioned off areas for them, or up in tubes on the walls, much like a really elaborate hamster run. If you decide to go near them in a sectioned off area, they'll happily just hang out with you doing rat things. Huh. And as long as you're friendly with them, nothing seems to happen. But if you're unfriendly...?
Well. Maybe some things are better left untried.
3. SKI TIME
So you've explored the hotel and seen all the sights you could. Now you're ready to brave the slopes with whatever equipment you took from the Ski shop (all free of charge, again), and have some FUN! Or just see what the outside is like in this weird place you found yourself in, either or. It's cold, but not too cold - and the snow outside is perfect for skiing and sledding. There are three slopes, all ranging from bunny to advanced, and there's even a Ski lift for you to get up there on! If you don't want to go on the slopes, there are some smaller hills to sled down on.
3-A. SKI.....TIME...?
It happens before you can even realize it. You're having a grand old time down on one of the slopes, going at a high speed, wind in your hair and the snowy landscape whizzing by you. It's perfect, except -
- hang on -
What the fuck is that?!
You manage to dodge it in time, but it simply follows after you at a high rate of speed, scraggly arms and legs flailing as it skitters across the snow. Out of the corner of your eye, you see an unlucky skiier get eaten in a single gulp, the horrifying creature barely stopping before beginning to chase you again.
It seems you'll have to ski for your life.
4. FOREST BREAKOUT
Alright, you're done with Skiing and this weird-ass Resort. It's time to brave the wilderness and get the hell out of this place. As you go into the forest, for a while, it's just you and the snow... But then it gets darker. And darker. And there's no end to the forest itself...
You hear whispers. Wolves growl and snarl in your ears, the trees - are they moving? Has a dense fog settled in, making it hard to tell where you're going? Why...why is there another set of footprints in the snow next to you? Your ears are ringing, your head hurts, y̝ơ͍̻̲̥̟u'̰͈̯̞̖̪͜v͙͚̙̘̲̝̖͢e̖̲̟̟̮̯ ̖̙͟m̗͙͍̙͢a̷̬̹̠̬d̡̼͙̳̭ͅe͏̱ ̖͔̠̭̺̬͝ͅá̯̪ ̹̻̠͖m̥̜̫̤̯i̘̲͈̼̮s̼̙͔͎̠̦̘t̪͠á͇̣̫͎̜̻k̫͎̠̫̦̻é̯-͓͍͘
And then you wake up on one of the hotel couches in the lobby, with a Staff Member smiling indulgently over you with a cup of hot cocoa in their hands, going on about how you just came right in and took a nap.
Hm.
5. RESORT MURDER
Somehow, you knew it was going to get worse. And when one of your fellow Guests end up dead, that just cemented it for you. Someone has been killed - in a horrible way - and now you have to suspect each other. Will you check out the body? Mourn for the dead? Or lay a critical eye on your fellow Guests, watching each of them carefully for any sign of Otherness? That person in the corner of the room - did their neck just bulge unnaturally a little? Are those fangs shining in that person's mouth? What about the people in the rooms next to yours? Don't you think they talk a little weirdly, move just a little unnaturally?
Will you do something about it, before they get you?
no subject
Oh, yeah. That's - pretty bad.]
How 'bout we at least get a start on it?
[Look this might be a world where nine tough-as-shit idiots take bullets daily (and Scout somehow survives a huge gash in his side), but they could probably at least... cover it up. Somehow.]
no subject
[Though usually his regeneration would've kicked in, by now. Years of self-experimentation had done a lot of bad and a lot of good, but his body automatically repairing itself whenever he was non-mortally wounded was firmly in the "good" column. Honestly, the fact that it hasn't started to close up is starting to concern him, but he's putting that aside in the ever-growing list of "shit he'll worry about later".]
But if you insist... [He rolls his eyes good-naturedly.] If you have any fabric that's easy to tear into a makeshift bandage, I can stanch the bleeding with that. I'll have to save actual treatment for when we get back to the resort, though I don't have much there in the way of supplies, either.
no subject
[Meaning: no medi-gun, and no real supplies... you know, Band-Aids. Engineer thinks for a moment, then takes off his jacket and tears off a sleeve.
Sorry, Medic. He knows you're jacked, but this is what we got.]
Here. Ain't my shirt anyway.
no subject
Medic takes the sleeve gratefully, and begins the somewhat awkward process of trying to tie it around his waist as a makeshift tourniquet, rambling as he does so.]
I suppose I could try cleaning the wound first with melted snow, but I have no idea how clean this snow might be. And cold isn't best for bleeding wounds.
[The sleeve is a tight squeeze around the waist, and blood is already starting to soak through, but it works! For now.]
Ok! Now can we drag the corpse up the hill? Or do you have more self care requests?
WEIRD, I didn't get a notif for this
[yeah honestly he's kind of a mix of jealous, impressed, and intimidated
Engineer shrugs his jacket back on and lets Medic work. He'd help, but he knows Medic doesn't need it.]
Now that you ain't gonna bleed to death on the way down, sure. I ain't Heavy, though, just so you know.
[bitch you carry like 2000000 pound foldable sentries on a daily basis]
RIP...
Alright! [Medic claps his hands together, grinning.] I'm not sure if we can carry the full weight of the body in one go, so I can start cutting it into pieces with this butcher knife!
[He's way too excited about that.]
no subject
Anyway. Engie quirks an eyebrow.]
A saw'd be more fittin', but I reckon we'll take what we can get.
[This isn't the first body they've collectively disposed of.]
no subject
Oh, believe me, I know. What I would give for my bonesaws right about now...
[They've desposed of plenty of human bodies throughout the years, but criminally few yetis. Time to make a change.]
The parts I need the most are the head and torso- I'll start removing limbs, and then I'll see if we can handle the new weight? Sound good?
[He's already cutting away at the left shoulder. It's incredibly slow going, and kind of grotesque to watch.]
no subject
Engineer makes something of a face as he watches Medic carve up the shoulder. He's used to blood and guts, naturally, and it's not like he isn't used to Medic's "brand" of doing it either, just -
Miss Pauling's brand of corpse disposal is a little more tolerable, you know?
Whatever. Whatever!! He can be a gentleman and help a lady file fingerprints off corpses just fine, but that's neither here or now. He shakes his head and kneels next to Medic.]
You're gonna have to do the cuttin' for me, all I got's a gun.
[Meanwhile, there's been more than one vacationer skiing by and seeing this. It's fine, though.]
fairly graphic gore text towards the end
Unfortunately, he's not so distracted that he doesn't notice one of the skiers. He waves as they pass, holding the now-amputated arm of the yeti as he does so. The passerby may or may not crash into a nearby tree afterwards. It's fine.]
The muscle is quite tough- if you were to try to cook it, I doubt it'd taste good without quite a lot of seasoning, but that's only if we were desperate. The resort appears fairly stocked at the moment. The bones are thick, as well- hard to break and impossible to cut-
[With that, he twists the right arm of the yeti, pulling with all his strength, and with a horrible popping noise the remaining sinews of the arm give way. Medic grins, wiping the sweat off his brow- staining his hair with the yeti's blood in the process.]
There we are! Two arms down, two legs to go!
no subject
What's actually fine, though, is hearing people screaming as they whiz by (damn the doppler effect is wild) as Medic fully dismembers the yeti. I mean, Engineer notices it, sure, but he also doesn't react much.]
What, you wanna cook this thing?
[Oh wait. Oh no. This is happened too. Engie might be looking a little green himself.]
Hgh.
no subject
[And there goes a leg! With another absolutely horrible noise. It's only then that Medic looks up and catches a glimpse at Engie's face.]
What's wrong?
no subject
[He forces a straight face, but still looks pretty green. But he's also a Big Man, so whatever! It's fine and not gross!!!
quick dell change the subject]
Guess we're gonna tick off Hale.
no subject
[The final leg has been twisted free! The yeti is now a disembodied torso and head. Whether or not it's easier to carry is debatable.]
no subject
[For killing yetis, he means. He smirks at that idea, just a little bit.
He also picks up an arm because, welp. This probably will be easier.]
Guess this'll do.
no subject
would you wanna wrap this up soon? loving this ftr, this just feels like a good stopping point
Teamwork!!]
thats completely valid! this thread has been a lot of fun tbh
[It's time to cart a whole corpse up a ski slope]
I HAD A LOT OF FUN TOO we should totally do more stuff together sometime!
[And off they go to terrorize the rest of the resort.]
