TEST DRIVE


Want to test out the setting? Not sure if your character is a good fit? Need to start gathering some samples? You know how it goes:

    → Comment with the character's name and series in the subject.
    → Pick an option or make your own.
    → Tag around.
    → Enjoy yourself!!


The Test Drive will be open up until Vivarium opens on July 5th. Check out these helpful links to get a sense of the game:

G A M E  L I N K S

R E S O U R C E S
    You're awake. You're lying on a cold floor, and your head is pounding. It feels like you've been hit with a sledgehammer. You can barely move, but you push yourself up anyway, and look around. You're in an unfamiliar warehouse, and on your left wrist is a bracelet. It feels heavy, and no matter how hard you tug at it, it refuses to come off. You can't remember how you arrived here, nor do you recognize anyone else. Try not to panic too much.

    ( For the purposes of the Test Drive, characters will be arriving in the warehouse instead of the Elevator/AB Room)

    An Ambidex Game has just concluded. You have entered in your vote and there's no turning back. Did you trust your opponent and vote ally? Or did you double-cross them and vote betray? What did your opponent do? Did they vote betray while you voted ally, or did they vote ally while you voted betray? Why did you choose one or the other? Just what did you do?

    Rules are meant to be broken. You've just reached a certain amount of BP, and you can finally have access to food (low or high quality) or to the dorms. It's great, things are getting a bit more bearable now, but seeing the others without the same "luxuries" as you, you feel like you should do something. It's against the rules to bring food or blankets out of their respective rooms, but Zero can't have eyes everywhere... can he?

    Exploration and Escape. All the windows are bolted shut, and all the doors are locked. The exit is through the number 9 door, but no one can reach it until they have 63 BP. It'll take too long to wait for help to arrive, and to accumulate that many points. There must be some way out. Maybe if you search enough, you can find a tool to help you break down a door.

    Wild Card. Want to try something else? Go for it! Have your own AB Game round, have characters argue against each other, try to keep the mood cheery, whatever! Make full use of the environment and mechanics, just remember to keep it within the game's structure.

This is a little too weird even for a marketing ploy, don't you think?

[And glancing between the two watches...]

Besides, numbering us isn't right - we've both got the same number.

[Different colors, though. Wonder what that could mean...?]
punintentional: (∫ do you think...we could use that pipe?)

See? Means it's less likely that a creepy kidnapper put these on us, since there'd be no reason for it.

The only reason we'd both have threes is if it's three o'clock. We can't both be number 3.
not_that_sasuke: ([Think] is also my friend.)

[He frowns, a hand going to his chin as he tries to think. It's like his mind has gone blank ever since he woke up here...

He knows his name. Sasuke Sagami, of course. But other than that...

...
]

Then tell me what you were doing before you got here, at least. Did someone ask you to model some watches?

[He says it about as earnestly as one can without really believing what they're talking about.]
punintentional: (∫ sorry i'm not into old women...)

...Before I got here?

[ Trying to remember...but nope, drawing a blank. ]

That...that's, uh, a good question.

[It's slight, but his eyes narrow a fraction.]

Then what do you normally do? Are you some kind of student?

[It's the best he can guess based on Junpei's appearance.]
punintentional: (∫ hey could you turn down the sun)

[personal profile] punintentional 2014-06-15 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Trying to recall, but that just makes his head pound harder, ow. ]

...I guess? Seems as likely as anything else...

You guess? You aren't sure?
punintentional: (∫ pretty sure 1+1 doesn't equal window..)

[ ...Kind of getting uncomfortable with the repeated questioning. ]

...Well, what about you? What do you do, then?
not_that_sasuke: (K u r o u)

[There's a significant pause, and then:]

...I don't remember.
