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!

[ If it belongs to the girl, then does that make her a detective? Honestly, if so? Bless. ]
I'm glad you were able to get it back. Are-- you a detective, then?
no subject
[ Ah, the horrors of her old job...just the thought of it is enough to give her a shiver. Thankless work, an awful boss, paid in peanuts... ]
I didn't study my butt off just to be written off as any old detective. I'm a true, blue forensic scientist! And this is one of the most important tools for the job!
[ It's pretty ordinary fingerprint powder, but she talks like it's worth its weight in gold. ]
no subject
[ Well, consider her very convinced that it's practically gold! ]
I don't know much about forensic science, other than what I've seen on television... but it seems like very hard work. I know I couldn't be smart enough to do it.
no subject
[ No need to mention how many times she failed it... ]
It's not really about smarts as much as it is about flexible thinking, if you ask me. But TV does a pretty bad job of showing you what it's really like...
[ Though, not necessarily in the "drama" regard. When it comes to the cases she deals with, truth might be a bit stranger than fiction. ]
Actually, maybe it wouldn't be the worst idea to give you a quick demonstration? It might not be so terrible to have everyone's fingerprints in one place, just to have them...
[ Not that she's worried she'll need to use them, but...better safe than sorry? ]
no subject
[ Count her in, one hundred percent. She's curious, and it's not every day you meet someone who knows this stuff and who's willing to show off. ]
I don't mind at all! [ she replies, eyes bright. It's kind of a rare reaction for her, here. ] And I think it goes without saying I don't mind having a record of my fingerprints.
