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

[Merlin is always eager to teach magic of course! As he hears the girl mumbling to herself, he approaches from the side and lightly taps on the stove with his cane. Just to get her attention of course.]

Young lady did I hear you right? You want to learn magic?

[hallotween]

[she starts at the sound, but smiles when she realizes it's a fellow captive instead of, like. a ghost coming to mock her.]

Yeah, of course! I'm supposed to be doing it right now, but all of... [waves around vaguely] All this happened before my mom and grandma could really start my training.

[higitusfigitusmigitusmum]

[He seems pleased.]

Weeell I happen to be a powerful wizard myself! Perhaps I could train you while we're here yes yes. Let's start with some basic.

[Merlin clears his throat and taps the side of the stove again. The old thing's pilot light turns on!]

[hallotween]

[she watches intently, ready and raring to be the best darn student there's ever been.]

This looks like the way we do magic, too! It's all about letting yourself have something you really want.

[higitusfigitusmigitusmum]

Yes yes....I mean no! While you aren't far off, just remember that magic can't solve all of your problems! It can lead to trouble too!

[That being said however, he tapped it again and turned it back off.]

Now you try. Focus on the flame and bring it life!

[hallotween]

[rolls eyes] And now you sound like my mom...

[she squints her eyes at the stove, frowning with concentration... and it works! the flame has been brought to life!

... except it's about five feet tall.]

... Ooops.
