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.

I'm sad they won't have memories but I had to join this test drive

*Snake is also still shaking off the effects of arriving here, unfortunately unaware of who he's really talking to.*

I take it you can't remove your watch either?

[ Giving it a few tugs, but....no dice. ]

Nah. Thing seems to be practically bolted on.
blind_badass: (Oh really now)

*Snake feels around his watch, touching the face of it and noting it has buttons on either side.*

Well this is going to be rather inconvenient... *Until he pushes a button and the watch helpfully tells him how many BP he has, his color and the fact he's part of a pair.*

Oh. It has a voice function. Is it universal?
punintentional: (∫ hey could you turn down the sun)

[personal profile] punintentional 2014-06-13 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Woah, fancy. Didn't know these things were capable of that...

[ Looking at his watch, and noting that there aren't any buttons. ]

Looks like you have a more advanced model or something, I guess.

Or our esteemed kidnappers decided to take pity on me instead of torturing the blind for fun. What does your watch say?
punintentional: (∫ do you think...we could use that pipe?)

[personal profile] punintentional 2014-06-20 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh...3, solo. No idea what 'solo' has to do with anything, but that's what it says.
blind_badass: (conjecture)

[personal profile] blind_badass 2014-06-21 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmm. Well, let's think about this. If I'm part of a pair and you're a solo, then this...game we find ourselves in has distinct designations. *Snake rubs his chin in thought.*
