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!

[And fork, spoon, and scoring tool, apparently.]

Yeah. You think I can get this hot enough to melt iron?
[asking for a friend]
no subject
[Every day in this place, he has fewer question marks left to give.]
no subject
...'Cause if I do, I can melt these down.
no subject
What, and just leave them like that, or make something else?
no subject
[Sarcastically, with a 'do you hear yourself' gesture to Therion.]
Obviously I'm gonna make whatever I can out of it, probably somethin' small like a dagger with how little we got to work with.
no subject
[Even if he did know the answer, which, I mean. Really. Does he look like he'd know how hot a kiln can get?]
no subject
[obviously.]
I ain't tryna kill nobody but the folks in charge of this whole mess, once we find a way out of here.
no subject
Uh-huh. I believe that entirely.

[He wanders over to inspect the pile of tools she's got, then swipes a couple of them without further comment.]
no subject
[She raised an eyebrow at him, folding her arms.]
What kinda amateur makes their movements so damn obvious?
no subject
[He flips a carving knife idly around his fingers.]
Not like you had your name on them.
no subject
Real impressive. You want I should care about the big tough guy rogue act, or you just wanna keep playin' like you're too cool to be stuck in this same as the rest of us?
no subject
Can't say I care one way or the other how you feel about my 'act.' I just don't want my woodworking tools burnt to nothing.
no subject
no subject
Can't say I care much for talking, either.
