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 could say the same thing about you. I'm not the only one who picked betray here.
no subject
[Scratch that; even in his dreams, it's still too much improvement to hope for.]
Fair point. But, I understood the consequences of my decision as I made it. I'm unsure that you did.
[As far as Zelos figured it, if both of them picked betray, neither would have the same stigma attached as if one had picked 'betray' and the other 'ally.' Zelos could have gone with Ally if he wanted to swing a few sympathy points, but at this early stage, it could prove dangerous. It wasn't really his style, anyway.]
no subject
I know what I did. I'm making it clear that no one here is going to pull the wool over my eyes if they even pretend that they're going ally with me.
[ He does understand he kind of backed himself into a corner, but he'll deal with it. Some... how... ]
no subject
Really? Because your comment makes me think otherwise.
[The irony is that Zelos miiiiiiight be backing himself into a corner, with this conversation, too. Just maybe.]
no subject
Yeah?
[ Explain to him, Watson. ]
