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?
Atsushi Nakajima | Bungou Stray Dogs
[Yeah, the alarm alone isn't going to get Atsushi up. He'll turn off the alarm on the tablet, barely registering the fact that he doesn't own one, before rolling over and going back to sleep.
And then a few seconds later he rolls back over and grabs the tablet, because he thought he saw something about breakfast in there.
Needless to say, Atsushi shows up for breakfast. Even if it's early, you can't argue with free food. And, um. He seems to be eating quite a bit of food. Like, there's a whole stack of plates on the table next to him, and he's still going at it.
At least the buffet doesn't seem to run out?]
Exploring
[Time to figure out what this place is like! Even if he's not supposed to be here, it's not like he has anywhere else to really be right now, so he'll take his time looking over everything. He'll be avoiding the pool for Reasons, and he won't even go down that hall of the resort. Instead, he finds himself watching the rats run through the tubes lining the halls.
More interestingly, the rats seem to want to avoid him. If they see him, they speed right past, and anyone familiar with rat body language might be able to tell that they are alarmed. Pretty much as soon as they smell the air, they're out of there.
It's a bit disappointing, but. Well.]
I guess I should have expected that. Oh well.
[Yeah. It's nothing new to him.]
BODY-TOUCHING (CW: gore, PTSD)
[The funny thing is, Atsushi isn't even trying to look for trouble. He's just trying to see if maybe he can try out this 'skiing' thing. But when he goes into the ski shop, he's greeted by the sight of a body torn apart and left behind in the splashes of blood painted by the rather violent death this person had. It's so bad that, at a glance, Atsushi can't even tell who is dead here.
What's worse? This kind of a sight isn't new to him, and he's being reminded of that fact right about now too.
Eyes wide and with his hands clamped down over his mouth, Atsushi backs out of the ski shop. He keeps going until he runs into a wall, and even then he tries to take a step or two more before he seems to realize that something is in the way. And through it all, his eyes never leave the body. He seems locked on and frozen, unable to look away.
He might need some help here.]
ETC
[Talk to me at
((OOC: as a note, this is Atsushi from the BEAST novel, which is a canon AU and is why he might act a bit differently from the normal Atsushi. If you don't want spoilers for the novel, just let me know in your tag!))]
no subject
Even if that something is rushing into the room, dark cape fluttering behind him as he draws his sword with a shout.
And then he takes a step back, blue eyes flicking around the room until he's sure there's no one else there. He sheathes his sword, and then turns back to the older boy, looking kind of tired.]
Are you hurt? [There's nothing anyone can do for the corpse, but Atsushi's still alive.]
no subject
Also, seeing a mauled body is a bit of a trigger for him. Whoops.]
Ah- I'm- I'm okay, but...
[He's still looking past Cyan, to the dead body. Yeah no, they're gone. Very much gone.]
no subject
And Atsushi needs something else to focus on.]
no subject
N-No...
You...you don't think that thing got in here, do you?
[The monster from the ski hill, he means.]
no subject
From outside? That thing... didn't make a mess.
[Cyan turns slightly, to look at the.... well, the mess behind him.]
Do you know how to light the lamps in this room? [Cyan is probably going to be the person who has to look at the body, but by now his extreme avoidance of any rooms that aren't brightly lit has made itself pretty obvious. There's a light switch by the door, but going into the dark room and looking for it is kind of beyond his comfort levels.]
exploring;
You mean this is a common thing that happens for you?
no subject
Animals don't really like me. Well, except for cats, I get along with them just fine. But everything else avoids me.
no subject
[ He figures it's an innocent enough question. ]
no subject
[Subtly answering one part of the question while avoiding the other ayyyyy.]
no subject
[ He actually finds it kind of funny... ]
no subject
[Huh. He never considered that before.]
I guess so? That sounds cooler when you put it that way.
no subject
[ Teach him your ways, Atsushi...! ]
...Unless you're actually just hiding some cat nip on you all the time and you're keeping it a secret.
1/2

exploring
[ There seems to be some keen interest in her eyes for a moment; she's not really fond of the rats herself, for various reasons. ]
Are you used to this sort of thing happening?
no subject
[He holds a hand out to the nearby tube, and a nearby rat scurries away. Sighing, he pulls his hand back.]
It's the first only I have seen so many rays, though.
no subject
[ To not get along with any sort of animal, that is. ] I wonder why there are so many rats, though... don't you think it's weird?
no subject
It is, yeah. Whoever built these tunnels, they must really like these rats.
no subject
Exploring
[A plain looking girl looks at Atsushi curiously. Tsumugi just plain had no idea what to make of the colorful rats, but some part of her is disappointed when they get scared away. They were surprisingly cute.]
no subject
[He's instantly proven wrong by how they flock to some of the other people here though.]
no subject
[She won't point out the blatant contradiction happening in front of them if he won't.]
no subject
But their fickleness is no reason to go unintroduced. What is your name, miss?
no subject
[Her title is said with pride. Not that it means much anymore.]
And your name is...?
no subject
[What?
But he shakes his head, figuring it's probably nest that he doesn't ask.</small?] Nakajima Atsushi. It's a pleasure.
(no subject)
body touching
That's really terrible.
[He turns his head past the boy, and into the space in front of him...as if looking out to camera.]
Who could have done such a thing?
