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!

There are indeed things that can sway even a pure soul to doing things that are regrettable. Even if every person puts the utmost effort in we are still trapped. However, that only means we must try even harder.

[She's been trying to keep her tone calm, if serious. She can't hide the growl of anger creeping into her voice when she speaks her next words.]

The Professor will pay for this, as will his accomplices. That much I know for certain.

Of course. Everything else aside, we cannot allow something like this to happen again, and the Professor does not seem the sort to stop after one attempt.

We have no proof that this was the first attempt, either.

We do not, no. I am tempted to see if I am able to get a straight answer on that, but... I would rather not speak to our captors if I can avoid it.

To interfere at such a time... They are the greatest fools imaginable.

Indeed.
...

Time is, admittedly, something of a question here, all things considered. I know we... remember things somewhat differently.

You said that Professor Byleth chose to lead the Black Eagles in your version of things, correct? I wonder if things will be different for you in that instance...

[PERHAPS VERY DIFFERENT, SETETH.]

That was their choice, yes. At the time I thought nothing of it; all three leaders seemed eager to welcome them. With hindsight, I dearly hope that they were not persuaded by her blasphemous schemes.
