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
Akechi looks only the correct and proper amount of proud, though also slightly embarrassed. ]
A protagonist? Certainly not...! I'm only doing what any good detective would do, Shirogane-san.
So, "ultimate cosplayer"? [ his tone is politely prompting. ]
no subject
[She beams as at the prompt and there's clear passion and enthusiasm in her voice and body language when she talks.]
I'm recognized for my talent at cosplay. I have sponsors and can use materials that are just plain expensive because of their funding... but it's not like I'm a celebrity or anything. More a panda at the zoo to be oggled at, you know? Really, I'm just happy with people seeing the outfits I've made. I like making them more than wearing them...
[A grimace as an thought occurs to her.]
... but if someone's going to put themselves before their characters, then I'd rather wear my outfits with love than give them to people like that!
[She has standards for who she lets wear her outfits after all! She can't possibly let someone bring shame and disgrace to a beloved character after all!]
no subject
Not only are you skilled, but your love for your work is obvious... I'm quite impressed, Shirogane-san. That's an admirable attitude to have. If you ask me, I don't believe you sound like a "background character," as you said, but that's only my opinion.
no subject
Well... I guess I'm not quite one anymore. Perhaps a side character I suppose...?
no subject
no subject
Umm... I'd prefer not to talk about it. Things... just plain didn't go well back then.
[Mostly because of a certain few people ruining everything. Her social link/confidant is not nearly high enough to talk about all that.]
no subject
No, I apologize. I didn't mean to pry, Shirogane-san.
no subject
[Another placating smile. Nothing to see here. Just a plain polite girl. Who is now going to change the subject.]
Umm... speaking of... have you had time to investigate the area yet?
no subject
He'll let her change the subject without protest. ]
Some, though I'm afraid I haven't turned up much as of yet. I thought I'd take the morning to get to know some of the other guests.
no subject
[Tsumugi seems to mull to herself for a bit. She never actively helped investigate before... but there’s no reason not to here. She’s admittedly at a loss of what to do now anyway.]
Umm... do detectives usually have assistants? I’m plain at a loss of what to do with myself now anyway... so if there’s any way I can help you investigate, I’ll do it.
no subject
... you'd like to be my assistant, Shirogane-san?
no subject
[An smile.]
There's a lot of ground to cover after all.
no subject
no subject
[Shirogane Tsumugi has joined the party!]
no subject
she sure has. ]
Of course, I'll do my utmost to protect you, but it may be dangerous. You're prepared for that?
no subject
[A pause.]
Well, It’s fine. I know what I’m signing up for.
no subject
no subject
[A hum.]
Or should I call you boss now...? Or Partner?
[
The last one is too Persona 4 Tsumugi.]1/2
[ ah ]
no subject
[ meanwhile, externally: ]
I ... believe my name is more than sufficient, Shirogane-san.
no subject
Right, Akechi-san it is then.
