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!

People have killed for a lot less than their 'deepest wish.'
no subject
[ Boy does she. She lets out a breath. ]
What bothers me most is-- is how they found out our wishes.
no subject
Same way they found out anything else about us, right?
no subject
[ don't like that at all! ]
It's just-- uncomfortable. Knowing a stranger knows everything about you.
no subject
[His tone is flat. Very matter-of-fact.]
No matter how well you think you know a person, you can never be sure. Better to just keep everything to yourself from the start. Then, even if it's a stranger... at least you know you weren't betrayed.
no subject
... It's terribly lonely, though, isn't it? Keeping people at arm's length.
no subject
no subject
... I suppose that's fair enough. Trust is a difficult thing, as it is.
no subject
[He doesn't even clarify, "in a situation like this." Just, in general. Trust no one.]
Take my advice. If you want to survive, you'd better not give anything to anyone. Not even the chance to see that this-- [He flicks his envelope between two fingers.] --got to you.
no subject
Seeming unaffected is easier said than done. [ a pause. ] But I've never had trouble surviving in the past, at the very least.
no subject
[And Then You Die.]
