test drive
This is the official test drive for Visitants! Feel free to use this as to gather samples (8 comments from your char) or voicetest. Reserves open March 30th. Feel free to hit up our FAQ if you have any questions.
Please list your character's name (canon also recommended) in the header of your top-level prompt.
1 - Count Chocula
You find yourself awoken in a long-abandoned cabin, far too dusty for anyone's comfort and cobwebs practically coating the wall. Once you leave the cabin, you find yourself in a town in the middle of the woods that's...not looking much better. There are others here in similar situations, however, maybe you should look at them?
2 - Frankenberry
Day-to-day living in town is...simple enough. Try and escape and you'll just get lost in the woods until you find your way back. You're also a bit limited in terms of...comfort. There's not a lot here in the way of entertainment, but it seems as though you'll have enough to do in order to keep yourselves busy.
For you see, unlike other murdergames, the restaurant has been long-abandoned. While there are a limited amount of rations around the town should you scavenge, and a small supply in your room appears now and then to keep you from starving, you'll have to hunt should you want to keep hunger away. Fortunately, there are bows and arrows available...
For the less hunt-inclined members of the group, you can find something to do. Gather wood for campfires, tend to the camp, and there's a limited amount of fertile ground available for crops. Surely you can find something to do to improve life here.
3 - Boo Berry
Congrats! Somebody did a murder. Maybe it was even you. Maybe it was one of your friends. Maybe the victim was your brother. Might want to look into that, maybe?
4 - Fruit Brute
...This place is haunted. You come to this conclusion based on the fact that either you got caught during a trial, and you wake up as a ghost, or your dead friend who was killed is now floating around like it's nothing. Might have to adjust to life as a ghost.
5 - Fruity Yummy Mummy
For all the spooky prompts you wanna do that we don't have.

Detective Juno Steel || The Penumbra Podcast
[Well, shit. This wasn't the first time that Juno Steel had awoken in an unfamiliar place with a familiar headache. Except, most of the time when he woke up, he actually had a small idea of where he was.
Here? He didn't have a goddamn clue. Nobody on Mars used wood for any of their construction, not when the material could be so easily eroded by the acid rain. Maybe this was some sort of weird interior room of some sort. Stumbling towards the door, Juno poked his head outside to see more trees than he'd seen all his life and what looked to be a quaint, rural town. So, yeah, definitely not Mars. If this wasn't a dream, it was one hell of a kidnapping job.]
The hell...?
[Cautiously, he made his way out into the center of town, half expecting to be jumped at any moment. If he spots anyone passing by, he'll shout at them:]
Hey! Do you mind telling me where I am? Seem to have gotten lost, oh, a few hundred thousand miles back.

[It was fortunate that Juno had been in quite a few life-or-death situations in the past. He could survive a little bit of hunger now and again. It was unfortunate that this particular life-or-death situation was completely devoid of any useful tech.
At least he still had his cybernetic eye--it made adapting to using the bows and arrows a little bit easier, and, if he wanted to, he could make it track any heat signatures in the woods. But the strain to pull back the string was still hell on his back muscles. How did early humans use these things?
Whatever. He was now crouching next to a tree and waiting for something to pass by. He seems to be...whispering to himself?]
Yeah, yeah. Shut up with the smart comments and let me concentrate.
[Want to bother him?]

[It was almost laughable that, after all these years yearning the sweet release of death, Juno wasn't even offered eternal rest. Of course not. Instead, he got to float around for all eternity and watch the people around him be complete morons. The worst part was that he couldn't do anything about it. He was stuck.
If only his secretary, Rita, could see him now. She'd get a real kick out of it, maybe try to convince him to keep doing detective stuff even after he died. 'Well, it's not like the bad guys can kill ya again, Mista Steel!'
Ever see a ghost with depression? Because now you have. The ghost of Juno Steel is lying face down on the ground, his head sort of clipping into the dirt. It's fine. Probably.]

I've spent thousands and thousands of years watching all these snivelling, pathetic, foolish mortals, and that's saying something!
[He's here now with some roasted fowl, watching the ghost clipping through hell itself- er, the dirt.]
no subject
Really? Well, judging from the fact that you're in a murdertown, I don't think that job worked out too well for you.
[Was that comment biting enough? He can't tell.]
no subject
[He sure is crunching on that freshly cooked meat a little too loudly. Very Rude!]
Oh, don't worry, I am taking notes. It's exciting to see others doing the dirty work without me even lifting so much as a finger.
no subject
Hey, do you mind keeping your food in your mouth? Some of us here can't exactly eat.
[He just barely lifts his face out of the ground, irked.]
You seriously expect to get out of here?
no subject
[Aku finishes a big chunk of it before resuming speaking like the Big Ham he is.]
Of course, they're bluffing!
I'm sure there was an error in trapping me here, but I will take it as a front row seat for the Almighty Aku.
no subject
[That makes him get up--well, maybe get up isn't the correct term here. He more just sort of...does that thing in video games when characters do an animation to get up off the ground and their limbs sort of disappear into the floor. He's floating right on up to Aku's face, gesturing to himself.]
In case you didn't know, I'm dead because of their bluffing. Hell, as far as we know, they're going to keep us here until we either starve to death or kill each other out of desperation that they might keep their promise and let us go!
[He jabs a finger at Aku, but the effect is lost when his arm phases right through his chest. He immediately pulls it back out, looking a bit startled.] Eugh. That's really freakin' weird.
no subject
[What is this human sympathy you speak of.
Okay so maybe he's been nerfed to hell, but aku is certain he'll survive this game. Murder is kid's play, right?]
This is intriguing, but a little tame. Not enough theatrics, no big dramatic exit, nothing. They should at least put in some effort, I agree.
[Nods sagely. Juno Steel, you are so wise you might as well be among Aku's favourites.]
no subject
[Juno scoffs, crossing his arms.]
I mean, why even bother bringing this many people from who-knows-where to this town, this planet? What is the point in killing them off, one-by-one? Back on Mars, they had more than a few reality shows on the streams featuring this sort of bloodbath, but here? There's no cameras, no nothing.
[He leans back a bit, scratching his chin.]
There's gotta be something, some reason that they're keeping us here for this. But I just...can't figure it out.
no subject
[He already has, honestly- or more like they come to him, after Aku fucks up their homes away from Earth. But enough about him, the mortal raises an interesting point]
It's not even death by gladiatorial combat. Here's my theory:
[The demon steeples his fingers and furrows his GREAT, FLAMING EYEBROWS in contemplation.]
...They have a boring idea of fun!
im just assuming aku has told him about Stuff before
...I. I don't think that's the only reason? You really think they'd go through all this trouble just for fun? I mean, I've met some real twisted people before but they always had a reason for doing things...even if it was flimsy.
[Like, it takes EFFORT for interplanetary travel, not to mention the implications of interdimensional stuff.]
hell yea dude-
Hmmmm Perhaps.
Personally, I have no need for sacrifices in rituals like this other than for fun. Whoever's magic is strong enough to hinder me, yet weak that it needs fresh blood.
[It's unique, but boy does he hate having a chunk of his own powers gone. Aku strokes his beard in contemplation.]
Necromancy?
heck yea ..........
[it is ur destny.......!]You say that as if you've partaken in such activities before. Which would...really not be surprising.
[Normally, Juno would have scoffed at the mere suggestion, but the more time he spent here, the more he was seriously questioning the rules of reality in this world.]
M...Maybe? Seen any evidence of cults or freakish chanting in the area? Who knows--maybe this whole thing's just a set up to give a lonely ghost more friends.
no subject
[An eldritch being like him has no use for it, so his tone is full of distaste and annoyance. Luckily for him, he hasn't been beaten with it directly. Unluckily for him, this civil interaction is the closest he's had to a friendship, and that's absolutely sad.]
Isolation will probably drive anybody nuts.
