general test drive zone

I don't know what to do without TDMs to decide what blorbo I want to fuck around and find out with, ok.

your scenarios are:

1. YOU'VE WOKEN UP IN A WEIRD PLACE. And also there's a bunch of other people here, and some of them are telling you that you're stuck here due to the whims of some mysterious entities. The decor is weird. The provided clothes are weird. You may or may not have your usual powers.

2. YOU'RE PLAYING A GAME THAT'S MOSTLY NORMAL. You've all been put at a table to play some manner of board game, except when you land on spaces, it gives you weird effects like "must obey others' commands" or "wants to kiss everyone" or "hair changes color at random intervals." Also you have to put costume jewelry and makeup on each other.

3. YOU'RE PLAYING A GAME THAT'S KIND OF HORRIFYING. You've been given a scavenger hunt list of body parts to acquire. How are you going to get them from the other people here?

4. YOU'RE BEING CHASED BY MONSTERS. You're running through a hotel/the woods/a city/a space station/something else and there's something out there chasing you and you're 100% sure it's going to Death 2 you if it catches you. Can you trust anyone else you run into?

5. YOU'RE PUTTING ON AN EVENT. You and some other people are putting on a maid cafe/bake sale/sports tournament/concert and you're one of the people running it and/or performing in it! What weird outfit are you wearing to do it (you are obviously wearing an Outfit) and what are you trying to get other people to do with you?

6. YOU'RE SHARING YOUR MEMORIES. Maybe intentionally? Maybe unintentionally. But anyway you sure are broadcasting a past experience to the people around you.

7. SOMETHING ELSE????

1. YOU'VE WOKEN UP IN A WEIRD PLACE.
[ she's wandered into your shared space in a tshirt and shorts, stretching and looking around in a kind of fascination, despite the fact that it's looks like a very rainbow explosion occurred in here, all over everything. ]

Unexpected! How about that.

4. YOU'RE BEING CHASED BY MONSTERS.
Hey! Hey, over here!

[ there's someone waving through the trees. ]

You good? We'd better stick together; I sure as fuck don't want to go it alone out here. What's your name?

6. YOU'RE SHARING YOUR MEMORIES.
[ You're doing some kind of group activity that involves getting ingredients via your memories and feelings, so she's called up one—the experience of accepting something, and then a rush of light and warmth and purpose, and a kind of strength alongside it. A transfiguration, if you will.

Are the corners of her eyes a little moist, even though she's smiling? Who could possibly say. ]

[what, you think he's running from monsters and the welcome threat of death? absolutely no.]

Hmph. Worry about yourself.

Hmm...? You're looking impressively fearless. I'm sure some people would positively swoon.

You could say it's in my nature, though.

2. YOU'RE PLAYING A GAME THAT'S MOSTLY NORMAL.
[ so this girl is like, often just kind of lying on the floor or slouched over something and now she has kind of draped herself over your lap after her last turn like it's a completely normal thing to do despite the fact that you're supposed to be playing a board game.

also she's been badgering you about something for a few turns: ]

Magister, I... think that if you want... to use my skills in... an effective... way, there surely... must be things you want... destroyed. It's what I'm... best at.

3. YOU'RE PLAYING A GAME THAT'S KIND OF HORRIFYING.
Hmm... so, I'll... trade you, if you... want. I need a... finger.

[ the pauses don't seem like hesitation on the subject but more like she keeps getting distracted? she's otherwise very matter-of-fact. ]

Could do without... an ear, or a... tongue, or honestly I don't... know if I really need all... my organs.

5. YOU'RE PUTTING ON AN EVENT.
[ classics of games: there's a maid café going on. this girl is wearing a maid costume, which someone has put on her and looks quite nice, but also she's slouched over the host stand.

oh also she's wearing a cat ear headband. it seems to be a theme. ]

Oh, do you... want to request a... maid, Magister? Like... nya.

If I take all your organs, does it have to be like...a fair trade? Wait, can I just have your soul? Like, your whole soul?

Re: 3

[personal profile] visifrida 2023-10-28 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, no... that's one I'm rather... attached to, even if none... of these things are... real.

[ she waves a hand. you know how it is. ]

Souls are... nice, aren't... they? The least... real, and yet... the most important by... many accounts.
foreversilent: (1)

Re: 3

[personal profile] foreversilent 2023-10-28 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
Seriously...? They're not important at all. You just need them to be a person, and who needs to be a person? People are even less real than souls are.

[ she gets in frida's immediate personal space. ten seconds from draping if she's not draped on first. ]

Come ooooon. It's a win-win deal! We're friends, right? Best friends? Surrogate siblings?

Re: 3

[personal profile] visifrida 2023-10-28 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Are... we?

I don't know... that I know... how to be friends. Or... siblings.

[ she's just like. weirdly still honestly. a little uncanny. ]

Re: 3

[personal profile] foreversilent 2023-10-28 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
What do you mean you don't know how to be siblings? It's real easy. You love and pamper and care about me, and I make sure you don't fall into a pit and die. And then we fuck the world together, 'cause it sucks and we don't!

4. YOU'RE BEING CHASED BY MONSTERS

I hate this I hate this I hate this

[ you'd think her problem would be the threat of imminent death, but: ]

This makes no sense!

5. YOU'RE PUTTING ON AN EVENT

[ Here this woman is, brandishing some flyers and what looks like a clipboard with a form. something about the recent "supernatural happenings" and "strange events" ]

Hello there—if you've experienced strange phenomena recently, or anything outside what you believed to be possible, I'd like to interview you.

7. YOU'RE STUCK IN FAIRYLAND

[ And they're at least so far pretty nice, cute fairies that just want to serve you tea and compliment you on your hair, but they've warned you not to go too far, since this is where they can protect you.

This woman is sullenly, suspiciously, tucked so far back against a tree it's kind of bordering on unsafe. ]

[some guy who looks like he walked right out of a some kind of wuxia series--a series in which he would definitely be a villain, given the fact that the black and red robes he's wearing are tattered at edges, with a couple decorative bird skulls dangling from his sash--materializes out of the shadows in front of her]

That's your problem with this shit show?

1. YOU WOKE UP IN A STRANGE PLACE.
Hm...

[ she tucks a few strands of pale blue hair above her right ear, and takes in the surroundings—a vaguely sinister professional building-type of place in an incredibly depressing-looking gathering place. ]

I don't suppose anyone can arrange an audience with whoever is in charge, here? It's quite urgent that we discuss several matters!

2. YOU'RE PLAYING A GAME THAT'S MOSTLY NORMAL.
[ somehow, you're playing poker and there are exactly two players left—you, and this girl, who has stacks and stacks of chips in front of her. And she's smiling cheerfully at you. she has been the whole game. ]

Oh, I'm impressed. That was a very lucky hand from you!

[ she is smiling back! and has been the whole game. ]

Oh my, thank you! I've never really had the time to play a game like this before, so I'm glad I'm doing well! Even if it's just luck.

Oh, in that case you're doing wonderfully, Miss! I think there's some power to being the ingenue in a situation, truly.
