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

[He hadn't even noticed her in the room and he jumps a little. The old wizard brushed himself off, nodding at first.]

Yes yes- [He blinks rapidly, shaking his head.] I mean no, no! No this is just dreadful! How are we supposed to get any work done like this!?

[darnsitall]

Oh, but there's nothing better than a big, dusty book! Just imagine the big cloud you'll make when you pick one up off the shelf and plop it down on the table!

It makes me want to sneeze just thinking about it!

[higitusfigitusmigitusmum]

[Merlin sighs loudly and begins to dust it off with his beard.]

Young lady, I must disagree! It is impossible to read like this!

[darnsitall]

[Merlin gets the tiniest of pouts. No one around here seems to appreciate the air of dust and decay like she does!]

I suppose I could clean off one shelf...

[higitusfigitusmigitusmum]

One! Bah! Nonsense! Where are the cleaning supplies? I'll do it myself!

[Yes, this is his normal level of grumpy.]

[darnsitall]

[Fortunately, she's used to this level of grump. She puts her hands on her hips and sighs.]

Ah, well, you see, they sort of got up and walked away. It must be break time!

[As if on cue, a couple of brooms with arms march past the room. One of them gives a small wave.]
