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 ✖ FAQ ✖ Bracelets ✖ Locations R E S O U R C E S ✖ Virtue's Last Reward Wiki ✖ Virtue's Last Reward Trailer ✖ Virtue's Last Reward OVA option one. 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) option two. 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? option three. 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? option four. 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. option five. 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.

Bobby Fulbright | Ace Attorney

[Does that beefy detective look a little beefier? Actually, come to think of it, doesn't he smell a little like beef? What did this idiot shove down his shirt?]

Who's hungry? I ask hypothetically, of course! Ha ha ha!

Re: Bobby Fulbright | Ace Attorney

[detectiveofthewest]

[What is that delicious smell and how can Heiji make this a part of his life? Two very important questions.]

You kidding? I'm starving. Have been ever since we got here. Think the folks in charge haven't gotten the memo yet -- you know, the one about thinkin' on an empty stomach.

Re: Bobby Fulbright | Ace Attorney

[juuustice111]

I agree completely! It's so unjust of them to keep us all locked up without proper nutrition! I get all fired up just thinking about it!

[Look at this clenched fist of justice, mysterious captors! LOOK AT IT!!]

By the way! I think we should continue this conversation in a dark corner!

Re: Bobby Fulbright | Ace Attorney

[detectiveofthewest]

Er... [He wasn't too sure about this 'dark corner' business, especially not after the guy had just announced where they were going to anyone who might be in earshot, but...]

All right, I guess. C'mon, I think there's a spare room over this way.

Re: Bobby Fulbright | Ace Attorney

[juuustice111]

[To the spare room! Yes, so very subtly, like a cat in the night and not at all like a super loud guy in a bright suit!]

That's better. I don't think anybody will see us here.

Re: Bobby Fulbright | Ace Attorney

[detectiveofthewest]

[Sigh. Heiji resisted the urge to pull his cap down over his eyes, because this was getting a little embarrassing.]

Okay, we're out of ear --- out of the way. So what's the deal, old man?

[Sorry, Bobby. But you were older than he was.]

Re: Bobby Fulbright | Ace Attorney

[juuustice111]

I have something for you!

[PRESENT: Roast Beef Sandwich]

Re: Bobby Fulbright | Ace Attorney

[detectiveofthewest]

[Oh wow, man. Heiji took back every uncharitable thing he ever thought about you. He didn't even hesitate, immediately snatching it from Bobby's hands and taking a big bite. Heaven!]

Thanks, fella. I mean it.

[In his ravenousness, he was also talking with his mouth full.]

Ain't you going to get in trouble, though, handing out food like this?

Re: Bobby Fulbright | Ace Attorney

[juuustice111]

Well, maybe...

[And he does look a little nervous at that.]

But keeping all the food to myself wouldn't be justice!

Re: Bobby Fulbright | Ace Attorney

[detectiveofthewest]

Hey, you're a stand-up guy. Ain't too many people that would stick their neck out for a stranger like that.

[He held out a hand.]

I'm Heiji.

Re: Bobby Fulbright | Ace Attorney

[juuustice111]

Detective Bobby Fulbright, Ally of Justice!

[~*~MANLY HANDSHAKE~*~]

Re: Bobby Fulbright | Ace Attorney

[detectiveofthewest]

Huh? You're a detective?

[Heiji broke into a grin.]

So they snatched up an actual policeman, huh? Awfully gutsy of 'em.

Re: Bobby Fulbright | Ace Attorney

[juuustice111]

That's right, I'm with the LAPD.

[Shows off his shiny badge. Such a shiny badge. Such a reputable and trustworthy adult.]

I can hardly believe it myself. The criminal's arrogance will be their downfall!

[skyentificmethod]

[A considerably less beefy detective shoots him a dirty look, possibly due to being hungry. Or maybe it's that she's hungry because she's so grumpy. Either way, she clenches her fist, as if to keep it from throwing things at him (things she incidentally does not possess...which ties back in to the grumpy hungriness)]

Do you have to rub it in? And do you have to do it so loud?

[juuustice111]

[He cringes.]

I'm sorry, Detective Skye! That wasn't my intent at all!

[skyentificmethod]

Are you certain? Because you really succeeded at it! You and your...your...embeefened and savorious aroma!

[juuustice111]

E-embeefened?

Listen, you have the wrong idea! I only wanted to share my savoriousness with you...

[skyentificmethod]

That-- I-- You can't be serious. There is a time and a place, meathead!

[juuustice111]

There's no better time or place than circumstances like this! We detectives need to stick together, in the name of justice!

[skyentificmethod]

...

...

...

...

...I...suppose. I never knew you felt that way.

[juuustice111]

Huh? Of course I do. I feel that way about all the detectives back at the precinct!

[skyentificmethod]

...!?

Look, what you and the other detectives and your assorted savorocities get up to is your business and I'm pretty sure I don't want any part of it.

[juuustice111]

What? But I specially got one of one of those just for you...

[skyentificmethod]

...Did you, now.

[juuustice111]

Yes... should I have asked first? I mean, I don't know your tastes, but I figured everyone likes those...
