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?

[Engie knows your pain, man. Well, not nearly on Medic's level, but. Engineer's a defense class that supports about as much as he defends.

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.]

[Medic gets it- those thousands of teleports and and dispenser heals didn't come from nowhere, and he appreciates it.]

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.]

[noBODY HELPS HIM GUARD THE SENTRY LUDWIG

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.]

[Medic, of course, is too busy gleefully shredding the tendons of the dead yeti to notice Engie's discomfort.

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!

[tHIS IS FINE.

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, no, I'm saying that if we had to, we could cook them. I don't expect us to need to. But the option is there.

[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?

Nothin'.

[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.

Eh? Please. Even if we somehow kept this creature alive, Hale would just punch it to death. That Yeti Park idea was doomed from the instant he was put in charge.

[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.]

I'm just sayin'. I think we've officially ruined his record.

[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.

[Medic, meanwhile, is just gonna go straight towards trying to haul the whole fucking torso. He grunts a bit from the effort- even with the limbs removed, it's a massive weight, and most of it is dragging on the ground. Still though, it's pretty commendable- it's nearly twice his size, after all.]

[... You know what. Let's just. Do that first. Engineer glances over his shoulder, thinks a moment ,then slings the oversized arm over his shoulder. Then he gets under with Medic and helps him with the rest of the torso.

Teamwork!!]

[Medic grins as Engie grabs one end of the yeti.] Thank you, mein Freund!

[It's time to cart a whole corpse up a ski slope]

No problem, pard.

[And off they go to terrorize the rest of the resort.]
