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!

[ Fate... she gently pushes that aside and nods. ]

Whatever the intended end is... I don't think it matters. Bring so any people together just to demand they kill one another-- What kind of person would find pleasure in that?

[Finally there is anger. A growl added to her normally calm voice.]

Someone unworthy of mercy.
philoxenia: (i just keep you warm)

[personal profile] philoxenia 2020-03-28 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ Whoa.

... She's beautiful, but also kind of scary. ]


Maybe so... [ a pause. ] I wonder if they care about that or not. Whether they're shown mercy or not.

[Blood is blood. Those that thirst for it, hunger for violence... they are unworthy. They are the truest sinners, even if they don't follow the teachings of the prophet.]

Likely not. Thieves, bandits, kidnappers... some may do it because of reasons they cannot control. This is just slaughter.
philoxenia: (they once held the keys to)

... It does seem pointless, doesn't it.

[ And that's the most unnerving part. They're just being jerked around... it's too reminiscent of her own world. ]

I wonder if we'd ever get an answer for why.

[personal profile] archboxer 2020-03-28 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
Even if there are reasons, even if there are answers... Will those be enough?

[A quick shake of her head.]

I apologize for my outburst earlier. Sometimes my temper does take a hold of me.

[personal profile] philoxenia 2020-03-28 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ She hesitates, not sure how to answer that... but luckily, there's a change in subject. Thank goodness. ]

No, it's alright. It's... not exactly the most pleasant situation we're all in. I think it's understandable.

Yes, I suppose it is. I suppose this would try even the nerves of the goddess.
philoxenia: (i threw it in the bushes)

[personal profile] philoxenia 2020-03-28 07:45 am (UTC)(link)
It... does seem like that kind of situation. I only hope it won't last for very long. Y-- We all have things to get back to, after all...

Yes. There are many things to look forward to once this ordeal is over.
