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: G A M E  L I N K S ✖ FAQ ✖ Bracelets ✖ Locations R E S O U R C E S ✖ Virtue's Last Reward Wiki ✖ Virtue's Last Reward Trailer ✖ Virtue's Last Reward OVA option one. 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) option two. 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? option three. 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? option four. 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. option five. 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.

[Although Hinata can't quite share Asuma's enthusiasm about flowers, he has to admit it's actually... pretty cute. And it's just the kind of attitude he needs to see right now.]

Sure, why not.

1/2

[curryparty]

[He nods and holds up his hands, his sleeves rolled back presumably to keep the dirt off of them while he tended to the flowers. His palms are slightly smudged with dirt, but other than that, they're obviously empty.]

Watch closely!

[And then... he starts moving them around with a lot of superfluous gestures and whooshing sounds. For how serious his expression is, it comes off as incredibly silly.]

2/2

[curryparty]

[But at the end, there's an extra big gesture, and at some point Hinata will notice he now has a few small flowers in his hands! Just where did those come from?]

Ta-daaaah!

[ahogay]

[Wow, Hinata looks genuinely impressed by that trick. He did look closely just like Asuma said, but he can't even begin to guess how he managed to pull that off.]

Whoa, that was actually pretty cool! How'd you learn to do that?

[curryparty]

[He looks pretty pleased with himself. Yaaaay, magic tricks!]

I don't remember! But it's neat, isn't it? I must have learned it for fun.

[He does at least know himself well enough to know that it's not something he did very seriously.]
