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!

That's true. [Shelley tries to make herself look as impressive as possible. Given who she is, well, it doesn't really work] Allow me to tag along if you have more planned. They don't call me Ginger Ninja for nothing!

[Shelley, a friend called you that once, and it wasn't precisely because you're anything close to being a ninja.

You'd really do well in not letting her come along, Sly, it's not a good idea, haha]

The Ginger Ninja.

[Said almost incredulously. He doesn't want to doubt her, but she's gonna earn a raised eyebrow at the very least.]

Pray tell, why exactly do people call you that?

You can be sure the ginger part isn't because I like the spice.

[Like, duh, she thinks. Her hair must be visible from space! Or from an aerial view of the block, at least]

And the ninja part is because I have performed infiltrations and had adventures into places I shouldn't be in! My success rate is better than the average joe's. Not as good as yours, but better than anyone else in here.

[Half-truths, half-truths everywhere]

[It's very visible. Might not make her a very good thief, but if any of those achievements are legit...]

Then that's pretty impressive. Maybe you've got the makings of a master thief if you really feel like committing.

[He'll roll with it. He always does.]

It's the best way I have right now to strike back at that guy. If to achieve it I must go full-time into the master thief career then I will.

[She sounds like she means it]

I'm not going to play by his rules.

Really? Wow.

[He didn't expect to meet someone that's so ride or die. But he's kind of into it.]

Then... does that mean you'll help me carry some of these out of here?

[Go hard or go home! Her middle name is Endeavour! For real, it is, haha]

Sure I will.

[That should be easy, yup]

What are you going to do with these, anyway? Sell them to the highest bidder? Just hoard them?
