FOOLISH MORTALS R2 TEST DRIVE MEME

Hello again, you foolish mortals. Since we are not having a mock trial for R2, we decided to have another test drive to help ring in the occasion! Especially since many of you have multiple options for the upcoming rounds. Much like last time, this test drive will remain open until the game itself opens in October.
Foolish Mortals is, of course, open to Disney characters only - and the same rules apply here. Characters who don't fit this criteria may find themselves being removed from the test drive, for consistency purposes. If you have any questions, please feel free to consult our FAQ here. Please list your character's name (canon also recommended) in the header of your top-level prompt.
Here are some examples to get you started:
1 - Waking Up
You find yourself awoken in a dreary little bed that creaks and squeaks far too much for your liking. The room is run-down and decrepit, and cobwebs practically coat the particularly tacky wallpaper. It's...unnerving, to say the least, and you should probably get out of there. Sadly, it doesn't look like the rest of the hotel is any cleaner, but...perhaps you'll find others in similar circumstances?
2 - Killing Time
If we must kill something, it might as well be your boredom. It doesn't seem, however, that the hotel has quite a lot to offer in the way of entertainment. There's an old projector with creepy early-to-mid-century movies, a bar, a (rather eerie) library, a steam room, and a treasure room. Something feels... off about the last room, however, like you're being watched.
3 - Happy Haunts
There's...stillness in the air. Occasionally, you might notice some sort of unexplainable oddity. A piano might begin to play itself in your presence, or dishes and silverware might reaarange themselves when you're not looking. The eyes on portraits might even follow you around, until you notice them. Perhaps it's worth investigation, or perhaps you're better off just screaming and running away. Your call.
4 - Party!
The Hollywood Tower Hotel, before its sudden closure, was famous for its parties. So perhaps it's unsurprising that everyone is called to the Tip Top Club for a mandatory party...on Thursday night. You should throw on your best formal attire, and try to have a good time. It should be mentioned, of course, that the motive this week appears to be getting on everyone's nerves. It doesn't really help matters that it'd be so easy to take someone out if you just flipped the lights off...have fun.
5 - Body Discovery
Despite your best efforts, someone has died on this fateful Friday. While no one was especially close to him, it appears that Cinderella's father is dead, and one of you is responsible. Better investigate the mansion for clues, and hope you don't mess this up...
6 - Et Cetera, Et Cetera, Et Cetera
For all the prompts you want to do but we haven't listed.
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. However, you're welcome to use up to 20 comments here from your character on the test drive should you app them later, in lieu of a sample.
Remember, reserves for the game will be opening on September 22nd

Belle | BatB (2017)
Still, she's determined to find a bright side, just like she did then. Belle pulls down a stack of likely-looking books and proceeds to place the whole pile next to a dusty, leather-upholstered chair. Once she's settled in, she pulls the first book into her lap and begins to page through it. If she's going to be in this strange new world, she may as well learn about it while she can.
She's so absorbed in reading about 'the invention of the automobile' that she barely notices the sound tickling at the edges of her consciousness until it's too late, and those are definitely footsteps. Belle freezes, book clutched in her hands, unable to help the trickle of icy fear that runs down her spine like water.]
Who's there...? Show yourself!

Joshua Kiryu | Kingdom Hearts (Dream Drop Distance)
[When you're a teenager who no longer has a cellphone on them for the time being, you make do with what you can find. In this case, the creepy projector room, as Joshua finds right as a creepy moment takes place on the screen.]
... Charming. It's only a matter of time before we get an "elevator opening to spill out with blood" scene next, I'm sure. What do you think?
[This is directed to whoever else is in the room with him, because of course you want in on MSTK shenanigans, right.]
3.
[Hauntings are not exactly new to Joshua in regards to objects moving from one place to another, or an instrument playing by itself. In fact, the latter he finds fascinating when he turns in time to catch the piano keys moving on their own as he hums in interest once they stop moving.]
Not bad, but that last note was too low. Try the key next to that one instead, dear.
[... Joshua quit judging the ghosts on their movies or on their piano playing skills you ass.]
no subject
[hi Joshua have you met Chip yet. WELL NOW YOU HAVE.]
You'd think we'd have enough of that already. Maybe we should move on?

2. /strolls in ten years late with Starbucks
[His aunt loves horror movies of all kinds- good ones, bad ones. Usually? Super old ones. He doesn't miss the reference in the slightest.
And Hiro is more than ready to critique every inch of this place through the guise of ancient and petty memes.]
You think a ghost can crawl out of a projector screen, or is that reserved for television sets only?
did you at least get us a pumpkin spice latte...
yeah but it's also five years old and rock solid.
good just the way I like it
Oswald the Lucky Rabbit | Epic Mickey
[One way or another, Oswald ends up crossing paths with the projector room. It's about the most recognizable part of the hotel, which is saying something. Oswald was almost certain he could navigate this place like it was the back of his hand. It's eerie, like the Lonesome Manor, but it's not that bad.
...Is what he'll keep telling himself as he flips through the film reels. Not a whole lot of options, barely any cartoons. And did they have to be so creepy? Was that necessary?
Anywho, anyone outside the projector room might hear a loud crash, and on inspection will find Oswald currently halfway through the torn projector screen, little rabbit feet flailing in the air.]
[5]
[A... a body. And not one that just dissolves into paint or thinner either. This is a body that belonged to a person, and they're dead. For someone like Oswald, it's more then minorly shocking.
He stands there, uncomfortably until ultimately deciding that he can't just... leave this here. He's an adult, and a king for Ub's sake. And although Horace wasn't here, it wasn't like the rabbit was awful at investigating things - eighty years hadn't slowed him down yet.]
Whoever doesn't want to look at this, should probably get outta here.
[can we start investigating the body?]

[He takes a deep breath. You can do this, Chip. Someone has to. Someone also needs to find the other clues to this case, but...he can't cover much ground, now, can he? Better hope the others can do it in time before the trial.
For now, he takes a few small steps towards the body, before pausing with a twitch of his nose.]

Chip // Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers
[Killing time? Do you mean...trying to solve a mystery?
THERE IS A MYSTERY AFOOT AND CHIP IS ON THE CASE. The chipmunk can be found sticking his little nose in to whatever he can find, painstakingly hunting for clues that may yet get them out of this place without..you know. That One Option that he's trying not to think about. The Rangers are well equipped to deal with a lot of things, but murders...
He seems taken aback at the treasure room.]
Well I guess if anyone's gonna hurt anyone, this could be a reason...
[2spoopy tho. He looks around]
...is someone there?
4//
[Chip is not much of a partier. His brother'd be more at home in one, but if it's mandatory, it's mandatory.
he's still kind of. just going to sit all by his lonesome in a chair, arms crossed across his his chest. sometimes it's good to be small. maybe if he's overlooked long enough, he can sneak out...]
4
Not that he's blind to the increasingly shot nerves of his fellow...guests. But surely if people have a good time, they might be less willing to take each other out, no matter the motive, right? And if everyone's in the same room, it makes it that much harder to pull off...]
Almost missed you. No offense, but you'd think they could get you some stilts or something. [Darkwing takes a seat next to Chip, leaning back and crossing one leg over the other.] Everyone's here after a quick headcount. So long as we keep everyone accounted for, we should have smooth sailing until tomorrow when we start the process all over again.

Data Riku | Kingdom Hearts Coded
[For someone who has literally never had to cook for himself and knows not much more than 'knives are sharp' and 'stoves get hot', making a meal is a challenge enough. It gets worse when the utensils decide they won't stay put. Like the plate that's moved itself across the kitchen and out of his reach for the fourth time.]
The more you move that, the longer I'll take to finish. Do you want that?
[His tone is more annoyed than anything else.]
4.
[He's not really one for parties, but that doesn't mean he's going to decline the invitation, especially if it's mandatory. Don't expect him to dress up, though; he's used to his black coat.
And while he isn't trying to be creepy, a lot of the time he'll be lurking at the edges of the party like a black ghost and people-watching. Feel free to call him out on it.]
4
Now, what could the life of the party be doing all the way over here? I didn't take you for being such a wallflower, Riku.
[Is he joking? It's hard to tell.]

darkwing duck
[There's no evil cackling, no villain explaining their plot, no death traps that he's accidentally-on-purposed triggered yet... What kind of spoopy kooky place is this? Always on the case, Drake Mallllluhhhh Darkwing Duck patrols the halls, looking for any clues as to his whereabouts--and more importantly, a way out.
Mostly it involves jamming an elevator down button, waiting five minutes, and getting made about it. What is it with Disney Ducks and anger issues?
But when he's not doing that, he's trying all the doors, windows (if there are any, it's a hotel after all), looking under rugs for trap doors, is there an emergency stairwell--oh of course it's locked and won't budge no matter what he tries on the door...]
I don't remember ever checking in to a place like this, so I really hope it hasn't been charged to my credit card...
3
[Darkwing prides himself on many, many...many things, and being observant is one of them. He's pretty sure the chairs moves while he had his back turned. But when he turns around and back again, they haven't budged.
But...wait. Now the glasses at the bar have been turned upside down. Those weren't like that before... One more turnaround, then, and--and now the chairs and glasses are right back to where they'd been when he first entered the room.]
All right, some might have accused me of craziness, but I know what I saw. Come on out, you perfunctory pranking poltergeist, or whatever you might possibly be.
5
Nobody touch anything! [He might not be the only investigative type around, but if you think the daring detective of darkness, Darkwing Duck, isn't going to immediately take charge, you'd be decidedly mistaken. He makes sure his cape is out of the way of any blood and paces around the body, chin in hand.]
I'd say he died of bloodloss. [Gee, what gave you that idea, was it all the blood soaked into the carpeting around him?] But I don't see any wounds... Help me roll him over, just try not to step in anything, eugh, damp.
3
Can you please keep it down out there? I'm trying to have a little look around?
[But he can't just do that, no. Not another moment passes before a head pokes up above the countertop, looking out at what is possibly the strangest mess so far. Oswald shoots Darkwing a cross look.]
And who are you calling perfunctory?

Sally | The Nightmare Before Christmas
[Sally seems totally resistant to the hotel's efforts to scare its guests. Brooms marching up and down the halls at midnight? She grabs one and starts sweeping to help them finish their chores faster. Piano playing by itself? She claps and sings along. Portraits staring? She cheerfully waves to them as she passes by.
The hauntings intensify, as if the spirits are upping their game to try and spook her. Today, a terrifying doll is following her around, floating behind her eerily. It takes an hour for her to even notice, and when she does-]
Oh!
[The doll shakes a little. Is this it? Have they finally scared the un-scare-able?]
You poor thing, you have a ripped seam!
[She plucks the doll out of midair to examine it. It's hard to tell, but it almost looks surprised by this.]
This'll be easy enough to fix! Come on!
[Cradling the doll in one arm, Sally rushes off to find her sewing kit.]
no subject
What isn't cheap is a floating doll getting snatched out of the air, absolutely no strings attached. So as Sally rushes off to find her sewing kit, she does so with a very curious teenager hot on her heels.]
So- that doll. [Just sound casual, Hiro. Like you're not itching to tear it open and find the gizmo that allows it to function.] Sure does like flying about, doesn't it?
(no subject)
no subject
[Curiosity had gotten the better of the old wizard. He ends up exploring the old mansion since his magic wouldn't let him escape. He's naturally drawn to the library in hopes of finding something useful for his situation. But at the sight of it, his nose crinkles.]
Blast it all! Who is supposed to be cleaning around here!? It's just horrible!
[He sneezes loudly as he pulls out a dust covered book. This is going to be difficult alone.]
3
No no no!! Stop that this instant!
[Merlin is busy chasing around a dish set floating around him. He had been using his magic to wash the dishes when the spirits had decided to play a fun prank on him. Now he had no way of getting them down.]
I demand that you put that down this insta-!
[He yelps loudly as one is thrown at him. It smashes into the wall behind him, just missing his head.]
Now you just did that on purpose! I-I-I-I-I won't stand for this!!

Hiro Hamada | Big Hero 6
[Everything has a scientific explanation.
This includes, but is not limited to, angry, standoffish pianos, more inclined to take your fingers off than let you play it. And let it be said, Hiro is no musician. He wouldn't be inclined to bother with the thing at all, if it hadn't decided to- bark? at him during one of his boredom induced pacings about the hotel. Which spawned a new intent entirely.
In the first corner is the piano itself, lid opening and closing slowly, keys dancing in an erratic, unnerving tune.
In the other corner? One Hiro Hamada, shifting on the balls of his feet, screwdriver in hand.]
You can't keep this up forever.
5. Death is only the beginning.
For someone so young, death- isn't unfamiliar to him. His family had grown so much smaller, this past year... and some losses were still heavier than others.
But this is the first time he's actually seen a dead body himself.
At the least he hasn't screamed or cried- even then, Hiro is a few shades paler than usual, one or two steps away from racing out of the room to the nearest toilet as he takes in the blood and the-
The corpse.
He has to investigate it. They have to investigate it; like a prop, a- a clue, not the form of a person who was upright and walking not mere hours ago. Truth be told, he doesn't want anything to do with it at all.
But somebody has to. Inhaling slowly, Hiro casts a nervous glance to anyone else nearby, before shuffling a little closer to his- to the body. Let's see what happened here.
3
Alright, what's your plan?
What did that piano ever do to you, Hiro?
marnie piper | halloweentown
-- but, hey! her magic might be on the fritz, but maybe she can get her shit together long enough to pop some fucking corn. she holds her hands above the pot, closes her eyes...
... and the kernels do nothing. great. now she's going to have to actually try to cook these.]
Ugh, it's bad enough Mom didn't teach me any magic-- she never taught me how to use a stove, either! How am I supposed to live on my own without even the most basic life skills?! [shes 13]
[B] [Marnie likes weird stuff. that includes the morbid and the macabre-- but, seeing her very first non-animate dead body, and especially of someone she had been talking to only just the other day... it's a bit more strain than her mature facade can handle.
she rushes out into the hallway, leaning against the wall with her head in her hands. this just can't be happening.]

Reyna Avila Ramirez-Arellano | Riordanverse
[ The unfortunate thing about being away from camp, from being away from monsters she can properly see and, you know, actually fight, is that without that stuff Reyna's left with a lot of pent-up energy in the transition from "incredibly busy praetor" to "hotel guest." Vacation? Not her thing.
She can be found in the projector room sometimes, watching... she's a parody of herself, she's watching old sword and sandal movies and kind of frowning at them. The non-Harryhausen ones, anyway, or at least the segments with human actors. ]
Have any of them ever held a sword before? Honestly.
[ Yeah alright, sure, Reyna. ]
4
[ Reyna's not a fan of get-togethers in general - even senate meetings she'd almost always rather avoid - so an actual party she is definitely not here for. I mean... she's here, sure, but it seems to be mostly to hang around the edges of the party in her armor and watch to make sure no one tries anything. Or at least... that's her hope, here. She's seen the way some of y'all are looking at the fireplace pokers.
She also has a kitchen knife at her side in a makeshift scabbard, here at the party, that's probably relevant. Actually, she just carries that thing around everywhere. ]
6
[ Got another idea? Lay it on me! ]
4
Still. He can't help but stare at that knife every time he spots Reyna. He probably never even looks at her after he's noticed it, glaring at it near constantly. It shouldn't be there.]

Donald Duck | Ducktales (2017)
[It takes Donald a very long time to actually get up and explore a little- granted, it isn't really exploring as much as it is just peeking his head into every room briefly before
runningwalking very calmly away in an exceedingly rational manner. Honestly, once you get over how downright creepy it is, the place isn't really impressive. As far as hotels go, he's seen better. Maybe never a hotel this size, but less creepy nonetheless.The treasure room leaves even more to be desired, although considering he's only used to Scrooge's treasure room, maybe his expectations are set a little too high. Still, the thought gives him courage enough to actually step into it and look around for a bit, crossing his arms in very clear disapproval.]
Heh. Some treasure room this is!
[...Followed immediately by glancing over his shoulder and around him a few times. There was definitely something off about this place, no doubt about that, but he doesn't actually spot anyone around him.
...Which means he's good to keep on mocking their treasure room.]
My nephews could put together a better treasure room than this! In half an hour!
[Actually this is kinda fun, maybe he'll just mock the invisible hotel staff forever. Not much else to do.]
3.
[Yes, he has noticed the portraits with their creepy moving eyes. ...Well, actually, he can't exactly prove that they have moving eyes, but it feels like they have moving eyes. Donald has run into enough crazy stuff that he just knows when something isn't right, and this whole place seems distinctly wrong.
Still, though, he's been through more than this and been just fine. Is he going to let a bunch of creepy old paintings scare him? No. Absolutely not.
So he is not hiding in one of the kitchen cupboards currently because he is afraid. That would be ridiculous. He's just... waiting for everybody else in the hotel to have a chance to calm down, that's all. Yeah, he doesn't want to accidentally spook anybody while they're all so jumpy. He's just being considerate, that's it, he's not hiding from anything.
This is fine! Everything is fine!
Just please don't open the cupboard.]3
hey donald pop quiz; how does a cupboard open when there's nobody there. the answer?]
Hey, what're you doing in there?!

Goofy | A Goofy Movie | 2
It beats just sitting around doing nothing, so he's heading in some random direction. He passes a bunch of different rooms which, for the most part, seem normal enough. Creepy, but normal. There's even a treasure room and that's uh..... Yeah. Weird. He doesn't like this.
He's worried about Max right now too, which doesn't help. Anxiety from a creepy hotel and anxiety from worrying about his son . NOT good.
Eventually he comes to another room. He feels a chill up his spine, like he's being watched by someone. Or something. He doesn't really know but he's super close to screaming his lungs out.]
G-Gawrsh.... Is anyone there?
no subject
Mostly safe. But you can never be too careful.
He narrows his eyes suspiciously and just peeks his eyes over the top of the cupboard door, still crouched behind it for the most part in a defensive of a position as he can manage.
When he answers Goofy's question, it's kind of a little harsh.]
Maybe. What's it to you?

Lottie | Princess and the Frog
[No one throws a party like Lottie La Bouff! She's put on her best dress, spent hours on her hair and makeup, and is ready to dance. It's the first nice thing to happen since arriving in this horrible place.
She's all grins as she gracefully swoops down the halls and into the hotel's ballroom. She practically kicks open the doors to announce her arrival, glitter pouring around her.]
Lottie has arrived, my friends~!
5
[Almost everyone in the mansion would have heard Lottie's scream. It was one of her best talents: being over dramatic. But perhaps she wasn't being over dramatic this time. There is a dead body in front of her. Her screaming continues as she fans herself with her hand.]
OH MY LORD! OH MY-
[This continued until she fainted on the spot. Whether it was from her screaming or the situation was unclear but she laid still on the floor.]
5
Oh, no!
[now there's TWO DEAD BODIES!!!!11111one]
saix | kingdom hearts
Fascinating.
[ It's said flatly, as Saix watches the keys of the piano play by themselves. He's watching it with very little emotion, and here and there he plunks at a key. Maybe he'll get a response. ]
4
[ He is incredibly not here for this, but it's not like he'd had much choice. It's not like anyone else is probably happy he's here, either, since he's always been such a stick in the mud. Blunt, cold, distant. You wouldn't want to approach him, right?
Or maybe you do. Who knows. Either way, he's standing in the corner for the most part, arms crossed firmly across his chest. Fuck this, tbh. ]

Young man I wouldn't mess with that if I were you. These spirits have quite the temper!
[Like he was to talk.]

Stitch/Experiment 626 || Lilo and Stitch
[ having sensitive ears leads stitch to notice these... eerie sounds pretty clearly. when the piano first started to play he perks his ears to try to figure out where it's coming from. who is playing music? when he went to go investigate he didn't expect to see the piano playing by itself?? ]
Oohhh
[ why is it doing this? stitch hops onto the piano to investigate. maybe he ought to press a key and see if something happens?
if something else doesn't spook him first. ]
5.
[ there's a dead body and stitch is on the case? unfortunately he doesn't have a detective suit or anything but he's on the ground sniffing around for anything strange or out of place.
and that's when he found Cinderella's father's left shoe. he walks around it first before picking it up and sniffing at it ]
--Ick. Smelly.
[ but at the same time it looks appetizing?? maybe he'll give it a taste too... ]
3
-up until he notices the blue figure on it. The chipmunk pauses, blinking]
