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.

A-3: UFO Catcher Hell

[ Kiryu hasn't met a mini-game he couldn't master, and this is no different. Why is this week's challenge to get stuffed toys out of a claw machine? He couldn't tell you. What he knows for sure is that he's damn good at this game, so good luck beating his high score. In fact, he just scored another one. This dude is unreal. In fact he's kind of accumulated a stack of stuffed squirrels and penguins, if that's your thing. ]

Uh... do you want some of these?

B-4: Yakuza Justice?

Whoever did this should just step forward and take responsibility.

[ Kiryu speaks plainly and honestly, his glare leveled on the others gathered here. Not admitting to your crimes is cowardly, duh. He really expects an answer to something like that...? Yes. ]

Wildcard!

[ Anything else tbh! ]

ufo catcher;

[maddogs]

Ah, Kiryu-chan, for me?

[ doki doki motherfucker ]

[judgementkazzy]

Ah, Majima-san...

[ I mean, not exactly, but ok. Kiryu bows a little because it's Majima I mean he's technically his superior even with the -chan stuff. ]

Sure. You can have them.

[maddogs]

Ah! Really?

[ wait. wait a damn minute. ]

Wait a damn minute. This isn't a challenge, is it? 'cause I could catch more of these than you, any time, any day, even with one damn eye.

[judgementkazzy]

[ Kiryu gives Majima a look, nodding. ]

It is, yeah.

[ You know that means it's on, pal. ]

I'd like to see you try.

[maddogs]

Then don't give me your pity penguins!

[ he throws the penguin at kiryu, disgusted, and then steps up to the ufo catcher its on bitch ]

[judgementkazzy]

[ Kiryu catches the penguin before it hits his face because he's a cool dude like that. ]

We'll see.

[ MAJIMA EVERYWHERE: UFO CATCHER CHALLENGE?? Kiryu will watch him go. ]

[maddogs]

[ three turns, three catches. he manages them all. so what if he's only got one eye? no problemo.

when he gets all three prizes he hands them to kiryu ]

For you!! Kiryu-chan!!

[ delivered as in, "shots fired, bastardo." ]

[judgementkazzy]

[ Kiryu hums, a little impressed. How does Majima do this with one eye, isn't his depth perception fucked up? Oh well, he's Majima. That's all there is to it sometimes. ]

My turn.

[ He tucks one of Majima's prizes under his arm and places the other two aside. Time to see what this protag can do!

Of course, he's been at this for a while so he nails them all, too. ]

UFO catcher

[futuretone]

Ch-cheater!

There is no way you could get that many, and I cannot even get a single one! Unfair! Unfair!

[FRUSTRATED ANDROIDS NOISES]

Thief, thief, thief! ♪

[judgementkazzy]

[ Ah, a cute android. Just another day in the life of Kazuma Kiryu. He shakes his head. ]

I'm not cheating. I just have a lot of experience.

[futuretone]

A cheater and a liar, two for two, there's no way an arcade player looks like you~! ♪

[HARUMPH.]

There aren't even any left for me to win!

[judgementkazzy]

[ He smirks a little. ]

Heh, you'd be surprised. I've spent a lot of time at the Sega Arcade.

[ He can beat you at Space Harrier, girl!!! ]

We can ask somebody to reset them, if you want to try.

[futuretone]

Someone like you really cares about ♪SEGA♪?

[She furrows her brow because it sucks to be wrong, but oh well.]

Teach me your technique, please! I am...still skeptical! [she smiling now tho]

[judgementkazzy]

Yeah. I go to the ones in Kamurocho pretty often.

[ This robot girl knows her stuff! It's too bad Kiryu can't win any Miku dolls at the claw machines. ]

Sure. [ He nods, motioning for someone to reset the machines. ] The easiest way to start is to pick a machine on the corner, so you can see around the side.

[futuretone]

Seeing around the side doesn't help!

[She pinches her fingers together, as though she were some sort of half-robot, half-diva, half-crab mutation.]

The grabber never grabs! The prizes are always slipping, slipping out~ ♪

It is so sad...♪

ufo pro-san

[emptylotinlife]

[She's never played one of these in her whole life. So she's not sure, but-- Kiryu actually seems pretty incredible at this.]

They're so cute...

[Still, just taking one seems--]

...are you sure?

GET OUT OF MY HOUSE, MICHI!!!!

[judgementkazzy]

[ Makoto doesn't DESERVE THIS!!!!! ]

Yeah, go ahead. I can always get more.

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO INVITED ME IN!!!!

[emptylotinlife]

[She smiles and takes one of the penguins. It's so soft...]

Thank you. [Watching him do his thing--] You're really good at this.

I MADE MISTAKES

[judgementkazzy]

Thanks.

[ He nods. Unlike Majima, Kiryu's a man of few words!!! And it sucks!!! ]

I played with these a lot back in Kamurocho. I could pull some for you, if you need help with the challenge.

B-4

[protectandselfserve]

Wouldn't it be nice if it were that easy, Kazzy?

[perhaps he should be a little less cheery and drop the nicknames he's been tossing around. i mean, somebody just died.

...

Nah.]

Unfortunately, I don't think it's going to turn out that way.

[judgementkazzy]

[ Kiryu glowers, definitely not enjoying the nickname. Majima's the only one who's supposed to have nicknames for him, y'know? ]

It'll be worse for them if they don't. It would save us all the trouble.

[protectandselfserve]

Ah, but isn't that always the case? And yet we still have people who don't enter guilty pleas. Odd, that!

[judgementkazzy]

If they weren't willing to face the consequences then they had no business going through with the crime.

[ Says the yakuza??? ]

[protectandselfserve]

Well, that's the way the cookie crumbles! I'm certainly willing to make them regret it, of course.
