FOOLISH MORTALS R2 TEST DRIVE MEME

[grimgrinningghosts]

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

[ She shrugs and stretches, fiddling with- ...ah, she does not have her hunting knives, right, this place sucks. Anyway, she strolls on in to get a better look at whatever work of art Reyna's watching. ]

What can I say, the movies aren't made for people who know how to swing and parry and disarm, they're made for the average mortals. Whoever made it probably didn't care enough to worry about demigods nitpicking.

[audentiae]

You'd think more demigods would end up involved in a movie based on actual heroes.

[ Bourne Identity? One child of Vulcan on special effects, one legacy of Apollo on script. Harryhausen movies? Nada. ]

As a Praetor, though, some would argue holding things to unreasonable standards is most of what I do.

[sentree]

[ Who the heck is Vulc- oh, right. Roman names. Yeesh, those effects. ]

Okay, that's fair. That's how you got so good, isn't it? [ A light, teasing grin. ] Setting those unreasonable standards up and climbing on after them?

[audentiae]

[ When movies start being made predominantly on the Greek coast, perhaps they'll feature more Greek demigods. ]

I seem to recall it working out for me when we met.

[ What, you thought Reyna wouldn't tease back, Thalia? ]

[sentree]

[ Her eyebrows raise up to her hairline. ]

Stop the presses, was that a joke? Didn't think you could, from what... From the tales told.

[audentiae]

I'm not actually a stone wall. Not all the time, anyway. Just most of it.

[sentree]

[ Note to self: good job dodging Jason's name, very smooth, Thals. ]

Well, excuse my confusion. ...Didn't really have a lot of time to stop and chat.

[audentiae]

And yet now we have nothing but time. Time and old mortal films.

[sentree]

And a whole delightful cast of characters... For real, have any of the furry ones tried to take a bite out of you?

[audentiae]

The blue one, briefly, but I honestly have no idea what he could be. And it seemed more like boredom than a real attempt on my life, somehow.

[ She has no idea what to make of any of this either, man. ]

[sentree]

Ahhh the rolling koala, a real enigma... I don't think even Lady Artemis could identify what sort of monster...

[ She frowns. ]

But I talked to the little chipmunk and he doesn't even understand what a "demigod scent" even is, so...

[audentiae]

Maybe these "other worlds" just... have these kinds of things in them. Rolling koalas and detective chipmunks and... Goofy.

[ THE TRUE MYSTERY OF FOOLISH MORTALS ]

[sentree]

Di immortales what in the River Styx is Goofy.

[ THEY HAVE HAD THIS CONVERSATION BEFORE ]

[audentiae]

[ THEY ABSOLUTELY HAVE ]

Some kind of dog? I have no idea, but he doesn't seem aggressive at least.

[sentree]

Like, the opposite of aggressive. Downright pleasant and a-hyuckin'...friendly.

[ fatherly is the word we're looking for but that word is to be avoided, forever! ]
