test drive - forever open.



TEST DRIVE


Want to test out the setting? Not sure if your character is a good fit? Need to start gathering some samples? You know how it goes:

    → Comment with the character's name and series in the subject.
    → Pick an option or make your own.
    → Tag around.
    → Enjoy yourself!!


Check out these helpful links to get a sense of the game:

    You're awake. You're lying on a cold floor, and your head is pounding. It feels like you've been hit with a sledgehammer. You can barely move, but you push yourself up anyway, and look around. You're in an unfamiliar warehouse, and on your left wrist is a bracelet. It feels heavy, and no matter how hard you tug at it, it refuses to come off. You can't remember how you arrived here, nor do you recognize anyone else. Try not to panic too much.

    ( For the purposes of the Test Drive, characters will be arriving in the warehouse instead of the Elevator/AB Room)

    An Ambidex Game has just concluded. You have entered in your vote and there's no turning back. Did you trust your opponent and vote ally? Or did you double-cross them and vote betray? What did your opponent do? Did they vote betray while you voted ally, or did they vote ally while you voted betray? Why did you choose one or the other? Just what did you do?

    Rules are meant to be broken. You've just reached a certain amount of BP, and you can finally have access to food (low or high quality) or to the dorms. It's great, things are getting a bit more bearable now, but seeing the others without the same "luxuries" as you, you feel like you should do something. It's against the rules to bring food or blankets out of their respective rooms, but Zero can't have eyes everywhere... can he?

    Exploration and Escape. All the windows are bolted shut, and all the doors are locked. The exit is through the number 9 door, but no one can reach it until they have 63 BP. It'll take too long to wait for help to arrive, and to accumulate that many points. There must be some way out. Maybe if you search enough, you can find a tool to help you break down a door.

    Wild Card. Want to try something else? Go for it! Have your own AB Game round, have characters argue against each other, try to keep the mood cheery, whatever! Make full use of the environment and mechanics, just remember to keep it within the game's structure.

Hershel hadn't been against Luke this time, because clearly that would be ally-ally in a heartbeat and no one would be the least bit surprised. Regardless, he did head over to Luke as soon as he saw him. Maybe his motherhen instinct were in complete overdrive with a child being in a situation like this, but he really took to Luke and made it his business to try and watch over him as best he could. Little British chaps needed to stick together and all.

So that's why he offered a smile as he approached even if he was a little concerned, not yet looking at the screen. He just had to hope this was another good round, for Luke's sake if nothing else. "How was your room, Luke? Are you hurt?" He asked, glancing the boy over for any obvious injuries. So far so good...

"Hershel!" Luke scampered over to Hershel at once and hugged him around the waist. "I wasn't hurt, but it was an awful room. There were robots everywhere! We had a high time getting around those, believe you me. No one got hurt, though."

He took a few steps back, adjusting his cap proudly. "I just did what you said and tried to think my way through the puzzles. They were no match for Luke Triton!

God you're a cute kid, Luke. Hershel patted Luke's head at the hug, feeling much better now that it was clear the boy hadn't been stabbed or something worse. Seriously, Zero, bringing a kid in. Eat shit.

"Zero and Calhoun do enjoy their robots." He sighed, though his tone lifted some as he continued. "I'm glad to hear you were able to keep a clear head through all that. You're a very brave boy, Luke, you should be proud." Quite the little gentleman, Luke Triton. "And I'm sure your teammates are too." They better not have betrayed at least or boy were they in trouble.

Luke looked rather pleased at the compliment, though he tried not to show it too much. "Well, Clive helped me out a little. And look what I found! I hid him from Clive, of course."

In one of Luke's hands was a little brown... snail... haha, clearly this would not lead to problems later. "I don't know why he doesn't like them, but I thought he'd be happier not knowing this little guy was there."

Hershel did his best not to laugh seeing it, covering his mouth a moment before nodding. Poor Clive. "Ah, yes, I think Clive would very much prefer not to see that little chap. Let's bring it to the garden, it'll be safer there."

And surely Clive would never stumble across it there, never. His life is far too full of luck for something like that.

Luke sighed, looking a tad glum. "Yes, I suppose that would be for the best. Lots of nice leaves for him to munch on, and this way he won't bother Clive. I do wish I could keep the little fellow..."

He carefully hid the snail in his cupped hands and took a few steps toward the garden, looking over at Hershel to make sure he was coming. "What do you think would be a good name for him? How about Charlie?"
