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.

Sure, we've had lunch together a few times.
skyentificmethod: (save a prayer)

[personal profile] skyentificmethod 2014-06-24 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
I can only imagine it's pretty intense. And sausage-filled.
juuustice111: (o7)

[personal profile] juuustice111 2014-06-24 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
[laughs]

We do love our meat! I keep ending up having to treat Detective Gumshoe, but I don't mind. I know he'll repay the favor one of these days.
skyentificmethod: (notorious)

[personal profile] skyentificmethod 2014-06-24 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, sure. You just keep believing.

Anyway, as exciting as this little trip down memory lane is, as you can see, I'm pretty busy, so...

[incidentally she does not seem to be busy with anything at all]
juuustice111: (:))

[personal profile] juuustice111 2014-06-24 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry, I'll let you get back to work. I'd better get this sandwich to somebody else before it gets soggy, anyway.
skyentificmethod: (do you believe in shame)

[personal profile] skyentificmethod 2014-06-24 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
SANDW--

[remembering where she is, she continues considerably closer and more hissed]

--SANDWICH!? Since when did you have one of those!?

juuustice111: (:O)

[personal profile] juuustice111 2014-06-24 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Since the—

[wait, I'd better be subtle. STAGE WHISPER TIME]

Since the beginning! I thought you knew.
skyentificmethod: (a view to a kill)

[personal profile] skyentificmethod 2014-06-24 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
How would I know something like that!? What do I look like, a d--

[okay, never mind the rest of that thought; instead, time to abscond to a dark(ish) corner]

Let me see it.
juuustice111: (>:))

[personal profile] skyentificmethod 2014-06-24 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
[is duly impressed

drooly impressed, even]

W-wow... How did you end up with something like that?
juuustice111: (o7)

[personal profile] juuustice111 2014-06-24 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
In a completely legitimate way. It turns out I'm doing pretty well for myself!

[laughs]
skyentificmethod: (the reflex)

[personal profile] skyentificmethod 2014-06-24 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
Rub it in, why don't you...

It's really okay if I...?
juuustice111: (:))

[personal profile] juuustice111 2014-06-24 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
Help yourself. You need to keep your strength up for the trials ahead.
skyentificmethod: (ordinary world)

[personal profile] skyentificmethod 2014-06-24 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
Mmm...

...

...What's the catch?

[personal profile] skyentificmethod 2014-06-24 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
You went to a big risk, bringing that out here. What's in it for you?
juuustice111: (o7)

[personal profile] juuustice111 2014-06-24 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
We're already allies in justice, right? So I just thought, the best thing to do is to help each other out!
skyentificmethod: (ordinary world)

[personal profile] skyentificmethod 2014-06-24 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
So, an alliance is what you want. For these Pokedex Games.
juuustice111: (:T)

[personal profile] juuustice111 2014-06-24 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
You mean... we weren't allies already?
skyentificmethod: (electric barbarella)

[personal profile] skyentificmethod 2014-06-24 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
...Of course. So when you give me this sandwich, it means you promise that you'll always vote ally against me. That's fair, right?
juuustice111: (o7)

[personal profile] juuustice111 2014-06-24 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm... that sounds fair enough! You'll do the same for me, right?

[personal profile] skyentificmethod 2014-06-24 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
That's the justice-y thing to do, right?
juuustice111: (:D)

[personal profile] juuustice111 2014-06-24 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
It certainly is!
skyentificmethod: (girls on film)

[personal profile] skyentificmethod 2014-06-24 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
Then it's a deal! Hand it over!
juuustice111: (o7)

[personal profile] juuustice111 2014-06-24 08:01 am (UTC)(link)
[hands it over]

Enjoy!
