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!

[ Not many people accepted their death so calmly, even in the face of it all, so he supposed he had to respect that at least. ]

You're saying that, but it doesn't seem like you're the type to go out screaming and yelling either.

But, I'm guessing it's because you've accepted your fate now?

It's not my first, I guess.

Also might be delusional due to blood loss.

[And the more he keeps him talking the more likely he'll leave evidence- it's not much, but he still wants to help]

[ Delusional worked, he supposed. ]

Not your first? How many times does that make it, then?

[ Either way, Campanella seemed like he didn't mind making conversation with the dead...which was pretty cocky of him or likely to bite him later on but, eh.

It'll be fine. ]

Two? I don't know, timelines...

[He waves a hand as if to brush it off with a tired sigh. Fuck... he's exhausted.]

... you won't win, you know?

Eh? What makes you so sure of that, Hibiki?

[ Asked with some amusement in his tone, like what the other said was the biggest joke told of the century. ]

Because...

[His smile slides into something more like a smirk. like he has a secret]

Well, if you have to ask, you won't really get it.

[ If anything, that did evoke a little bit of surprise from him. ]

Oh? [ ... ] Aha...hahahaha!

You're a funny one, you know? Too bad for you that I'm sure everything will be going according to plan. After all, if I wasn't, I wouldn't be talking to you right now.

Yeah, the funny one is kinda my gimmick.

[He watches his killer with a look of warm pity]

If you do get through the trial... can I offer some advice?

[ Honestly, he could feel the emotion in that look and that's the first actual thing that got his stomach to turn unpleasantly, even after everything.

Even with all that warm blood pooling around the other. Because ew, don't get feelings and pity all over him!! ]

Advice? Well, I don't mind hearing last requests, so you might as well go ahead. I'm listening.

Thanks.

I don't think you're making the right choice to get through this Trial-

[And it is clearly a Capital T in his tone- as if he doesn't mean what will happen tomorrow at all]

- but since you've made your choice then keep to it until the end. Don't... don't falter. See it all the way to the end no matter what.

[His body shudders, getting out those words seeming to take all the energy he had left- and while he's not dead he does close his eyes, breath wet and chest-rattling as it fills with blood]

...forgot... how much... it hurts.

Hehe, how cute. You're trying to give some actual advice to your killer.

[ But honestly, he's a little concerned, and even something dismal that could be regret - nothing altruistic, mind you. He just loathed getting his hands dirty and being resorted to kill like this just to get what he desired. Orchestrations of people going at each other and such were more his speed, so that whatever result wasn't directly by his hand.

But...he's the Fool. Fooling people came in his job description, practically! He's the Joker, the jester, the most loyal member of Ouroboros to the Grandmaster.

There was no room for failure or miscalulation. ]

Don't worry so much about me. If I die at the conclusion of the trial, it just meant that your death was in vain, and that was the result of what I really amounted to in the end. And I'm not about to just do things half-way. Disappointing the Grandmaster isn't an option, after all~

Well! It looks like you're about to meet your end soon enough. Do you want me to speed it up for you?

[Hibiki doesn't respond to his assertions- it didn't matter now one way or another. Instead, he just nods.]

Yeah, please. This... really sucks.

Will do. Goodnight, Hibiki~

[ Where in the name of Aidios did he get that knife? It wasn't there before.

But with a flick of his wrist, he slit Hibiki's throat. There, done. ]

[Yet somehow even though Hibiki was clearly near dead, as the blade flicks out he lashes out to claw at his arm- not to stop the attack. No, he accepts the steel into his soft throat.

But in one last burst of spite, he tries to get skin. To leave a mark. To make sure his blood gets on him. The attempt alone is enough for him to die with a lazy smirk]

[ He'll barely step back just in time, but he lost his footing a little, and damn, that pool of blood's probably pretty sizable right about now, wasn't it?

So that's one foot going into it. Wow, that's...definitely not as planned.

He even forgot about the knife, having dropped it nearby the other. ]

Hmph! And here I thought you'd have really given up. My mistake~

[ He's irritated, but he deserved that for his carelessness. Now he'll head off, needing to make an extra trip back to take care of the now-bloody smudges of footprints, and the blood the other's gotten onto his clothing. Fun.

He won't be able to get away all of it in time, but he'll have to make do somehow. He's sure he'll be able to come up with a plan, after all. ]
