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 ii.

    [ Sometimes there's investigation and sometimes there's... chilling in the jacuzzi because she is honestly so goddamn tired of all the bullshit that the situation is throwing at her, even though she honestly should be used to it, given all the things that Heartseed's done.

    But when she's not being stressed over the entire situation and trying to hide her stress under the surface, she's here. In a jacuzzi, trying to relax. Trying being the key word here.

    She is also decisively is going to avoid going outside for skiing because 1) she doesn't know how and 2) she's very much an indoors person, sorry. Besides the jacuzzi, she can be found chilling in the restaurant-- not eating, but trying to jot down notes. ]


    If I had my laptop this would be a lot easier...


option v.

    [ Well, shit.

    She'll investigate the body, sure, but she sure as hell isn't going to like it, grimacing quite a bit as she looks at the person closest to her with rather wary eyes. ]


    What do you think about... all of this?

[A small black piglet tries to sneak into the Jacuzzi and nearly jumps in - only to hurriedly overcorrect it's trajectory to fall just short of it, landing with a loud squeal]

Kweee!

[That was too close! The pig promptly turns around so it's no longer facing Himeko, front hooves trying to cover it's eyes, just hoping the girl will be done soon]

[personal profile] dereban 2018-11-01 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah—!

[ She's quite surprised by the suddenness of a pig coming out of scenic nowhere, even though she's in a swimsuit. ]

Are you okay...?
theycallhimmrpchan: ((Pchan) it's good to be the pig)

[personal profile] theycallhimmrpchan 2018-11-01 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[The pig seems to become less tense when he realizes she was in a swimsuit when it slowly turns around, nodding quickly]

Squee...

[ Seeing the pig relax, even if it's just a little bit, makes her smile a little bit. Even if it's just for a flicker of a second before it's gone. ]

That's good. Oh, I... probably should get out. You want to use this, right?

[ A bold assumption for her to make, but one she seems to be making nevertheless. ]

It's... just plain unbelievable that something like this would happen.

[Tsumugi shivers and eyes the body warily.]
dereban: ❥ all icons are my own unless otherwise denoted. (Default)

[personal profile] dereban 2018-11-03 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

[ Inaba frowns a little, chewing on her lower lip in a way that seems a little concerning. ]

Not to mention that this is... brutal. Seriously overkill, even.

[personal profile] jumpedtheshark 2018-11-03 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah... It really is.

[A nervous adjustment of her glasses.]

It's like someone went into a bloodbath fever.

[personal profile] dereban 2018-11-03 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
"Bloodbath fever"... you're making it sound like we're suddenly in some sort of horror movie. Then again, the cliches are already there.

[ She runs her hand over her bangs with a sigh followed with a click of her tongue. ]
jumpedtheshark: (Eyes closed neutral)

[personal profile] jumpedtheshark 2018-11-03 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah... I'm half expecting a cackling serial killer to jump out at any moment now, you know? But will they be swinging scissors, an axe, or a machete around...?

[Not the time for joking references Tsumugi...]

[personal profile] dereban 2018-11-03 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, and they absolutely have to wear a mask, too.

[ Her response is a little dry, but what can you honestly do in the face of death and absolute fear; the latter that she's hiding pretty well. ]

We probably should haul our asses out of here, though, just in case they do pop out of nowhere.

jumpedtheshark: Finger up and talking (Adjust Glasses)

[personal profile] jumpedtheshark 2018-11-03 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
That seems more appropriate for a summer camp setting than a hotel.

[Why is it always summer camps that hit by slashers in stories?]

Umm... should we really just not investigate though? It's plain to see that someone here did it.

[A cautious look at the people around them.]
dereban: ❥ all icons are my own unless otherwise denoted. (Default)

[personal profile] dereban 2018-11-03 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmm.

[ There's a bit of a frustrated noise as she folds her arms; Tsumugi does have a point, even if she doesn't necessarily want to get up close and personal to the body. Kind of (read as: definitely) not her thing.

Another sigh, heavy. ]


I'm not really an expert on dead bodies, you know. If I want to investigate, I'd probably put my efforts into places that aren't... the corpse, but I mean I could always try?

[ There's no confidence, though. ]

I'm not a kid detective or a candy addicted one letter name detective... but I'm... umm... not new to this kind of thing.

[The information is offered slowly and hesitantly. You aren't a Danganronpa if you haven't seen or been a dead body.]

I never really involved myself much... I'd just plain get in the way before.

[Let the detective do the detective work and the background character do the side character stuff.]

[personal profile] dereban 2018-11-03 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
You're- [...]

What? Okay, no, that's something I can ask later. But if you've dealt with this before, then maybe we can least help each other if we decide to investigate.
