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

[well at least you noticed him, senpai team duckdad.

Chip makes a thoughtful sound, leaning forwards a bit]

...a buddy system makes sense. Most people've made friends. But that could get complicated, too. You get three people who wanna meet each other and suddenly there's six there, maybe one with bad plans.

[He doesn't want to suspect anyone. He doesn't like it. But Chip's adopting a Survival Mode, and that does require some...private admissions.

He sighs, reaching up to rub at his face with a paw]

I just wish I knew why we were all here in the first place.

[duckdads, woo-oo] It might get complicated, but it means if someone does do the dastardly deed like the despicable delinquent they are, it'll be that much easier to identify them. Either there will be witnesses, or there will only have been one person capable of doing it.

[It's a little idealistic and simplified, but if they could actually convince everyone to go along with it, there's not a lot of reason to think it wouldn't work. It's just...getting everyone to go along with it.

He swirls his drink slowly in its glass, contemplating.]

Clearly some criminal mastermind is running some kind of psychological experiment on an array of people from all walks of life. To what end, I can only guess. It wouldn't make a half-bad reality tv show. [airlocked intensifies] Learning weaknesses? Publishing an evil paper for evil fame and evil fortune? Getting a high on random acts of murder in an overly convoluted manner? You can never be too sure with the likes of the criminally insane, Chip.

[D-D-D-DANGER LURKS BEHIND YOU]

It'd make a crummy reality TV show, who'd want to watch people hurt each other? [well, aside from Fat Cat. Please do not give Fat Cat his own TV station.] Action and mystery is all well and good, but this is crazy. Especially with how one minute they make threats, and the next-!

[VAGUEHANDS AT THE DANCING. why is this mandantory. why now.]

[terrorthatflaps]

It increases the stress and the tension. Who's going to be the one pushed too far? Is someone going to do it at a party? [He shakes his head. Not the point.] We'll keep investigating, but I'm not convinced we're going to find the reasons why from the inside. At least not until our captor or captors show themselves.

[nocasetoobig]

Nobody's going to do it at a party, we'd see them do it. [And you're supposed to get away with it. Though...]

...they didn't say how long we had to stay here, did they? If everyone is here...

[Then. Maybe they can investigate a bit without being found?]
