TEST DRIVE MEME

[consolemods]

Hey, so you've read the info and you know the premise! It's time to have a little fun doing that test drive thing before we all plunge into that Mock Week, right? So hey, have fun! The setting of the mock trial is going to be Wild West-inspired. That sort of cheesy Wild West flavor that's got maybe a little grit to it, right? You're free to do whatever you want with the locations and amenities, since it's a TDM and all. Feel free to have some fun making things up.

And now....


PROMPTS:
A. DOWNTIME!
1. Arrival! Hey, you've just woken up in this weird Old West town with some weird glasses on your face! Maybe you should mess around with those... or maybe you should leave the room and figure out who else the heck is here. It can't just be you, right?
2. Daily life! So you're stuck in this town. There's an invisible wall around the place, and there's some creepy rules encouraging you to start murdering each other. But... maybe you should just hang out with the other people who are here? You don't wanna get your murder on right away, do you?
3. Challenge! Hey. You're playing a stupid minigame. Pick a Mario Party minigame, or some kind of dumb video game minigame that's a huge departure from the normal gameplay. You're doing that now. Have fun!
4. Investigation! I'm guessing some of you are a little more proactive than others, so you might want to do a little bit of poking around the setting! With a friend, because two heads are better than one! Have fun with that.

B. MURDER!
1. Mmmmotive! So whoever's responsible for you being here has decided you've spent a little too much time not murdering people, and they've decided to give you a little extra push! But... what is that push? Maybe your family and friends back home seem like they're being held hostage, or maybe they're going to leak your deepest secret. Or maybe it's something that doesn't really affect you at all... but it might affect someone else a little more strongly.
2. Murder! YOU'D BETTER GET READY TO DIE. Or someone in your sights had better get ready to die. It's one or the other. Probably.
3. Body discovery! The best part of waking up.... is finding a corpse of one of the other players. Maybe it's a friend, maybe it's someone you hated, maybe it's someone you barely knew. Either way, you're going to have to play amateur sleuth and try to figure out whodunnit!
4. Trial! All the evidence has been found, so it's time... to talk it out! Who did the thing? Did you do the thing? You'd better figure out, or your life may be on the line.
5. Boss fight! Well, you picked the culprit, but they're not going down without a fight. Have fun fighting the mutant, monstrous version of whoever it was!
6. Afterparty! Well, that was definitely something new and different, huh. Probably pretty traumatic for everyone involved! It's time to regroup and maybe have a little food and stare at the wall for a while.

Uh, is that racist? Are you profiling me cause books don't talk in your world? I know I'm a book and all, but I'm not into being sorted. This ain't a library. It kinda sounds like your only proof is the fact that I'm "magical."

Which, by the way, is stupid. Of course I'm magical. All demons have magic, duh.

[helldestiny]

No? Its not?

Yeah, I got that from you telling us you're the most badass overlord or whatever. But my proof is that someone died from a laser, and out of everyone here we're the only two who can do lasers like that!

And since I was with people the entire night...where were you last night?

[sacredtome]

Whatever, lady. I'm sure you think all books look the same, too!

[ He is awful. ]

If I could still shoot lasers, I would've lasered myself out of this dumb place.

As for where I was? On the ground. That's kind of my only option unless somebody picks me up. I'm kind of low on minions here, in case you haven't noticed.

[helldestiny]

...I never thought I'd meet someone stupider than Sailor Moon, but here we are, I guess.

Then doesn't it make it pretty easy? The injury was practically point-blank. So if that's the only way you can optimally move around - not that I think you can't move without help - but then that means you could have just blasted them while they carried you!

Besides, we only have your word that you can't use any powers.

[sacredtome]

Look, babe, I know it's hard for you mortals to comprehend us Overlords so I'm gonna let that one slide.

[ Zetta, no. He shrugs? I mean, he does a thing with his cover that's kind of like a shrug. ]

Nobody else has any powers, do they? If I had my powers I could at least friggin' float, so that'd be more useful than having to lay on this stupid-ass ground. Do you know how many times I've almost gotten stepped on? Because it's a lot.

[helldestiny]

Well, if you're really innocent, you won't mind us checking you for bru--for--uh

...

[What the hell do you even call an injury on a book!?]

Whatever, I'm gonna grab you!!

[sacredtome]

H-hey! Lay off!! This is harassment!!

[ He really can't stop her, though. ]

You better not write anything stupid in me!!

[helldestiny]

Don't tempt me!

[She does have a pen in her pocket, she's just crazy enough to try!

Right now she's just going to check to see if there are, um, injuries??? on him.]

[sacredtome]

[ If his powers still worked, anything she wrote in him would come true... since they do not, she is free to vandalize him to her heart's content. ]

C-cut that out! This super wrong! Somebody help!!

[ By the way, his pages are blank. ]
