test drive

[thevisitors]

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.

Keep in mind that posting in the test drive does not represent a commitment to join our game. You're welcome to play here even if you can't app. Playing here does not guarantee a slot in the game, nor does it count as a reserve.

[escardos]

[ as someone who's seen (and tried to date) a sentient mercury golem, a robot wolf is nothing in comparison! where some people might find carnivac weird, flat finds him completely awesome!

although he doesn't really like him calling anyone stupid but, well, everyone has their faults, right? still, he sticks to the end, watching the wolf sniff the body. ]

Have you found anything le Chien? [ a pause. ] I really gotta find another nickname for you...

[anarchia]

You could simply use my name.

[The attempt at nicknames would, probably, be endearing to most- but not Carnivac. He sees it as wholly unnecessary, and far too friendly.]

So far I can rule you out as a potential suspect. The smell of humans is still unfamiliar to me but I can tell them apart well enough, at least.

[escardos]

But then that would mean that I don't wanna find you a nickname. It's a sign of friendship! El Lobo sounds nice, too, doesn't it? It's Spanish for wolf!

[ and that, is the biggest problem. flat is someone that can certainly be described as too friendly and someone who does unnecessary things, and that doesn't stop even when they're surrounded by murder.

but upon carnivac's observation, flat smiles, but there's no happiness behind it. but there's no sadness either. there's nothing. ]

I'd never wanna take someone's life. Every life is precious and holds a purpose in the grand scheme of things, y'know?

[anarchia]

I didn't realize we were friends.

[He carefully treads around the body, making sure not to get blood in his fur. That would certainly do no favors should his innocence come into question.]

Every life serves a purpose, though not always a just or necessary one.

[There are certainly lives he'd disagree on being 'precious', and in that bracket there are heads that must roll.]

[escardos]

[ the strange aura on flat disappears almost instantly, and he nods excitedly. ]

Of course we're friends, Lobo! [ but he pauses, tilting his head to think over what carnivac just said.

after a few seconds, he shakes his head. ]

Murder isn't a purpose. It's what can happen if a person loses their purpose.

[anarchia]

[He shakes his head slightly at the insistence of their friendship, but gives up on pressing the matter further. If he's so insistent on it, there's unlikely much he can do to deter him- and he'd rather not waste the energy.]

It's pathetic if one's sole purpose is to kill. But it can be a means to an end, for some.

[escardos]

[ that's the right thing to do, carnivac. ]

It's such a waste, though. It's like adding one plus one plus one plus one to get four when you can just add two plus two and get the same answer much faster.

[anarchia]

Sometimes a point needs to be made. [He doubts the boy is likely to understand, from all that he's said so far. He's far too naive, in Carnivac's view.] The most extreme means can be the most effective, like cutting the head off of some ugly beast.
