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?

🌸 option i. (cw death + vague body horror mentions)

    [ Honestly, waking up should have felt normal but after what just literally happened to her-- it's so surreal. Almost like a dream. But she looks down and it's decisively not and it makes her question a lot of things.

    Hence why she leaves the room, but...

    What people might notice that in the outfit she's wearing kind of has a rather distinct and large hole in her clothes, right through her chest-- it looks like a three leaf clover, actually? But she's still covered enough and doesn't seem to be commenting on it, or saying much of anything, actually; she's trying to duck and avoid other people, after all. ]


🌸 option v.

    [ Ah, yes.

    It's a dead body. She doesn't even flinch at the sight, her violet eyes transfixed on the body. It's only after a few minutes that she finally speaks up, a strange calmness to her voice. ]


    It's rather unfortunate that they died like this, don't you think?

    [ Unfortunate, but she could honestly care less about their well being; not when they're not one of the people that she actually gives a remote damn about. ]


🌸 wildcard

    [ Want to play something else? Feel free to hit me up; I'm willing to write up starters or reply to yours! ]

[ Roxas has seen some terrible things, but nothing could have prepared him for a literal dead body that had blood pooling around it and such. So he barely hears Sakura as she says those words...but they certainly do register, but he'll just nod, trying to chase the numb feeling away. ]

I can't believe someone would do this to someone else - we've barely had time to figure out anything and now this?

[ Something about that had seems too cruel to him. And they don't even know who did it. ]

[personal profile] unchose 2018-11-01 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
We'll find out who did this.

[ She says those words, but is also very much aware that they're completely empty promises. ]
13thpromise: (Where the raindrops)

[ Roxas isn't exactly the wide-eyed idealist, so he's hesitant to agree immediately, but at the same time letting someone get away with this isn't on his itinerary. So, his eyebrows furrow now, with a semblance of determination. ]

I think we will - at this point, we have to. I don't want to say this, but if this person struck once...maybe they might do it again.

[ Many people here might be hesitant to voice that possibility, but Roxas wasn't stupid. He knew it was there. ]

The thing is, if they struck without thinking this through, maybe we'll get lucky enough that they were careless, right? Nobody's perfect.

Mm.

[ Sakura herself isn't exactly an idealist either, she's just saying it because it feels like the right, proper words that she should say, if she were kind-- if she remotely cared. ]

I wouldn't like them to hurt anybody else. [ There's actually a specific someone that she has in mind, but she doesn't voice that thought, either. ] If they did do it like that... but we can't just assume one way or another.
13thpromise: (The nightmare)

[personal profile] 13thpromise 2018-11-02 12:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Meanwhile, he's still glad someone said it. It makes him assume regardless that Sakura's intentions are good. ]

Me too. One's enough.

[ He wishes he didn't have to deal with this at all--even if the alternative wasn't being in a physical place. Sort of...it's complicated. ]

I guess we can't be sure, but it'll be good for us if they weren't careful enough. More clues or...something.

Wait! [He calls out, when he sees the girl duck down a connecting hallway in a way Cyan instantly recognizes as trying to avoid him.]

Are you all right?
unchose: (pic#)

[personal profile] unchose 2018-11-02 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
I'm fine.

[ Her words are abrupt and quick as she keeps her head ducked down. ]

Why does it matter to you?
argentlarvae: (64)

[personal profile] argentlarvae 2018-11-03 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bother you, you just looked... like you could use some help. [He finishes the sentence sort of awkwardly, but he doesn't know how else to explain it.]
unchose: (pic#)

[personal profile] unchose 2018-11-03 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
It's okay, I'm... [ She covers the hole in her chest with her arms, as if that would help. ] I'm fine, really. I'm sorry to have bothered you.

[Her movement just draws more attention to the hole in her clothing, and Cyan's eyes go wide and his gaze shifts from the damaged fabric up to her neck, looking for an all-to-familiar spider mark. He doesn't see anything, and he relaxes a little, then unfastens his cape and offers it to her.]

You aren't bothering me. Here, you need this more than I do. [Keeping the hood up indoors would draw more attention than he can afford, and maybe no one here would recognize his face.]
