TDM - Somewhere, beyond the sea~
THE UNKNOWN SEAS TDM
Hello and welcome to the Test Drive Meme for Unknown Seas! Welcome to the bottom of the whole ocean, kids. Use this as a space to freely test characters or character options in something close to the setting! Standard format applies, drop your character name and canon in the subject line
The facility is pretty simple, even if there isn't an exact map yet. There are a number of various windowless rooms and common areas in clusters connected by long glass corridors built in the bottom of the sea. If you look up you can see more tunnels above, but they're darkened completely. Here's some prompts! The kids love prompts, right?
1. Arise from the depths (of sleep)
You wake up in a very functional and simple bed in a very functional and simple room. It's definitely not, however, where you went to sleep. Did you even go to sleep? That's pretty alarming. Also potentially alarming is the window in the wall above the writing desk you've been given - that's uh. That's water out there, buddy. You're underwater. Well-lit underwater, but underwater. You should probably look around or maybe outside - who knows, maybe other people are around here? Or maybe you want to try to demand to speak to a manager.
2. Killing time
Between bursts of violent murder, there aren't exactly a bunch of scheduled activities in this place. So there's a need to fill the time somehow... what are you doing to kill time? I know most everyone interested is a murdergame vet of some kind, so feel free to add in whatever standard murdergame rooms you like to fill the space! There's all kinds of things here. Maybe there's a theater, or an art room, or... an aquarium, for ultimate levels of nonsense?
3. Motive time!
The Professor has announced a new motive for murder! Maybe you've been given an envelope with your deepest darkest secret, maybe you're being offered a great deal of money... maybe he's giving the kitchen staff a week off! There's all kinds of things he could do.
4. Material goods???
There's a vending machine in the hallway, with no... buttons for selection or anything, which is weird. All you can do is drop the coins you sometimes get into the coin slot and hope! It might drop all kinds of things - it's regains, you know the drill.
5. Down where it's wetter, down where someone's deader...
There's been a murder! Get out there and investigate, or like... don't. I'm not your dad. Maybe you want to shield some poor teenager from a grisly murder? Or maybe the investigation is over and you want to chat about the grisly murder over some relaxing tea from the kitchen. You do you!
6. Other
Or maybe there's something not on here that you want to do! This TDM is for you, live your dreams!
no subject
I assume it's an important, personal item.
no subject
[ The lack of trickery feels almost too good to be true, and once the ruby is in her grasp, she closes her fist tight around and it and tucks her hand behind her back. Just in case. ]
It's... I mean, I worked hard to get it, that's all. You wouldn't want someone to just come along and steal your paycheck, right?
no subject
[ Unless killing monsters while adventuring counts as earning one. ]
But, I understand. Even if I doubt the Professor would hardly care.
[ In fact, he idly wondered if the set up was entirely on purpose. Maybe to help in creating more animosity between them and all that. ]
no subject
But, then, the kind of work she does is something that needs to be paid under the table, so... ]
I mean, we're not going to be here forever. We'll get out sooner or later. And when we go home, I don't want to be destitute because the Professor decided to redistribute my assets.
[ That isn't actually the only use she has for it, but with her magic circuits shut off, she can't activate the mana inside regardless. ]
no subject
Do you have any other items lost that would look the same?
[ He had little to no interest in keeping valuables, because he had no need for them. It was as simple as that. If he knew who to drop them off to in the event she's not around when he's at this vending machine, then it'd make both of their lives easier. ]
no subject
I can't say for sure, but... Gemstones like these make up a lot of my savings. Why, are you going to keep an eye out for me?
no subject
It wouldn't take much to keep an eye out, and I don't see a reason to keep things that aren't mine.
[ Maybe some of the other people were less of the mind to be eager to hand stuff back, but he'd prefer not to clutter up his room with things that weren't his. ]
no subject
Wow, really? You're so nice! I really owe you one, thanks!
no subject
...You don't owe me anything.
no subject
Okay~ You can bring them to my room, but if I don't answer when you knock, just hold onto them until you see me sometime, okay?
no subject
That should be simple enough. [ Beat. ] I believe this is the first time we've also spoken to each other, isn't it?
no subject
Yeah, I guess so. It just doesn't feel like it when we were all given those creepy little cheat sheets.
[ Exchanging names is a waste of breath when you can just look them up. ]
no subject
[ He thought the extra bits of information on them to be too personal at times, but Vincent's not surprised the Professor seemed to hardly care for that. ]
We can consider this a better introduction than the one we received from glancing at those... 'cheat sheets' for now. Unless there's another name you would like to go by.
